Resveratrol ameliorates aging-related metabolic phenotypes by inhibiting cAMP phosphodiesterases.

ABSTRACT: Resveratrol, a polyphenol in red wine, has been reported as a calorie restriction mimetic with potential antiaging and antidiabetogenic properties. It is widely consumed as a nutritional supplement, but its mechanism of action remains a mystery. Here, we report that the metabolic effects of resveratrol result from competitive inhibition of cAMP-degrading phosphodiesterases, leading to elevated cAMP levels. The resulting activation of Epac1, a cAMP effector protein, increases intracellular Ca(2+) levels and activates the CamKK?-AMPK pathway via phospholipase C and the ryanodine receptor Ca(2+)-release channel. As a consequence, resveratrol increases NAD(+) and the activity of Sirt1. Inhibiting PDE4 with rolipram reproduces all of the metabolic benefits of resveratrol, including prevention of diet-induced obesity and an increase in mitochondrial function, physical stamina, and glucose tolerance in mice. Therefore, administration of PDE4 inhibitors may also protect against and ameliorate the symptoms of metabolic diseases associated with aging.

Project description:Pancreatic cancer is characterized by a hypoxic tumor microenvironment, which is primarily caused by massive fibrosis with pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) as a main component. Our previous studies have shown that resveratrol can significantly inhibit pancreatic cancer. However, whether resveratrol can inhibit hypoxia-induced cancer development remains unclear. The objective of this study was to explore whether PSCs and hypoxia synergistically mediate aggressiveness in pancreatic cancer and detect the potential pleiotropic protective effects of resveratrol on hypoxia-induced pancreatic cancer progression. Human PSCs were treated with vehicle or resveratrol under normoxic or hypoxic conditions (3% O2), and PSC activation was assessed by immunofluorescence staining. SiRNA was used to silence hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) expression. The invasive capacity of Panc-1 and Mia Paca-2 cells cocultured with conditioned medium from PSCs was assessed by Transwell assays. To examine tumor formation kinetics, KPC (LSL-KrasG12D/+, Trp53fl/+, and Pdx1-Cre) mice were sacrificed at different time points. To investigate the antitumor effects of resveratrol in vivo, 8-wk-old KPC mice were divided into two groups and treated daily with or without 50 mg/kg resveratrol. Our data indicate that hypoxia induces PSC activation via HIF-1 and that the interleukin 6, vascular endothelial growth factor A, and stromal cell-derived factor 1 derived from activated PSCs promote both invasion and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition and inhibit apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cells. However, resveratrol inhibits hypoxia-induced PSC activation, blocks the interplay between PSCs and pancreatic cancer cells, and suppresses the malignant progression of pancreatic cancer and stromal desmoplasia in a KPC mouse model. Our data highlight that activated PSCs and intratumoral hypoxia are essential targets for novel strategies to prevent tumor-microenvironment interactions. Furthermore, the polyphenolic compound resveratrol effectively ameliorates the malignant progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
