Diallyl Trisulfide (DATS) Suppresses AGE-Induced Cardiomyocyte Apoptosis by Targeting ROS-Mediated PKC? Activation.

ABSTRACT: Chronic high-glucose exposure results in the production of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) leading to reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, which contributes to the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. PKC? activation leading to ROS production and mitochondrial dysfunction involved in AGE-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis was reported in our previous study. Diallyl trisulfide (DATS) is a natural cytoprotective compound under various stress conditions. In this study, the cardioprotective effect of DATS against rat streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mellitus (DM) and AGE-induced H9c2 cardiomyoblast cell/neonatal rat ventricular myocyte (NRVM) damage was assessed. We observed that DATS treatment led to a dose-dependent increase in cell viability and decreased levels of ROS, inhibition of PKC? activation, and recuded apoptosis-related proteins. Most importantly, DATS reduced PKC? mitochondrial translocation induced by AGE. However, apoptosis was not inhibited by DATS in cells transfected with PKC?-wild type (WT). Inhibition of PKC? by PKC?-kinase-deficient (KD) or rottlerin not only inhibited cardiac PKC? activation but also attenuated cardiac cell apoptosis. Interestingly, overexpression of PKC?-WT plasmids reversed the inhibitory effects of DATS on PKC? activation and apoptosis in cardiac cells exposed to AGE, indicating that DATS may inhibit AGE-induced apoptosis by downregulating PKC? activation. Similar results were observed in AGE-induced NRVM cells and STZ-treated DM rats following DATS administration. Taken together, our results suggested that DATS reduced AGE-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis by eliminating ROS and downstream PKC? signaling, suggesting that DATS has potential in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) treatment.

Project description:Diallyl sulfide, diallyl disulfide, and daillyl trisulfide (DATS) are major volatile components of garlic oil. In this study, we assessed their relative potency in inducing antioxidant enzyme expression. Among the three organosulfur compounds, DATS was found to be most potent in inducing heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) andNad(p)hquinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO1) in human gastric epithelial (AGS) cells. Furthermore, DATS administration by gavage increased the expression of HO-1 and NQO1 in C57BL/6 mouse stomach. Treatment with DATS increased the accumulation of nuclear factor-erythroid-2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) in the nucleus of cultured AGS cells and in mouse stomach in vivo. The DATS-induced expression of HO-1 and NQO1 was abrogated in the cells transiently transfected with Nrf2-siRNA or in the embryonic fibroblasts from Nrf2-null mice, indicating that Nrf2 is a key mediator of the cytoprotective effects of DATS. Pretreatment of AGS cells with N-acetylcysteine or dithiothreitol attenuated DATS-induced nuclear localization of Nrf2 and the expression of HO-1 and NQO1. Cysteine-151, -273 and -288 of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein-1 (Keap1), a cytosolic repressor of Nrf2, have been considered to act as a redox sensor and play a role in Nrf2 activation. To determine whether DATS could inactivate Keap1 through thiol modification, we established cell lines constitutively expressing wild type-Keap1 or three different mutant constructs in which cysteine-151, -273, or -288 of Keap1 was replaced with serine by retroviral gene transfer. DATS failed to activate Nrf2, and to induce expression of HO-1 and NQO1 only in Keap1-C288S mutant cells. LC-ESI-MS/MS analysis of recombinant Keap1 treated with DATS revealed that the peptide fragment containing Cys288 gained a molecular mass of 72.1 Da equivalent to the molecular weight of mono-allyl mono-sulfide. Taken together, these findings suggest that DATS may directly interact with the Cys288 residue of Keap1, which partly accounts for its ability to induce Nrf2 activation and upregulate defensive gene expression.
