Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Quercetin on High-Glucose and Pro-Inflammatory Cytokine Challenged Vascular Endothelial Cell Metabolism.

ABSTRACT:

Scope

Pro-inflammatory stimuli such as hyperglycemia and cytokines have been shown to negatively affect endothelial cell functions. The aim of this study is to assess the potential of quercetin and its human metabolites to overcome the deleterious effects of hyperglycemic or inflammatory conditions on the vascular endothelium by modulating endothelial cell metabolism.

Methods and results

A metabolomics approach enabled identification and quantification of 27 human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) metabolites. Treatment of HUVECs with high-glucose concentrations causes significant increases in lactate and glutamate concentrations. Quercetin inhibits glucose-induced increases in lactate and adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) and also increased inosine concentrations. Tumor necrosis factor α-treatment (TNFα) of HUVECs causes increases in asparagine and decreases in aspartate concentrations. Co-treatment with quercetin reduces pyruvate concentrations compared to TNFα-only treated controls. Subsequently, it was shown that quercetin and its HUVEC phase-2 conjugates inhibit adenosine deaminase, xanthine oxidase and 5'nucleotidase (CD73) but not ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase-1 (CD39) or purine nucleoside phosphorylase activities.

Conclusion

Quercetin was shown to alter the balance of HUVEC metabolites towards a less inflamed phenotype, both alone and in the presence of pro-inflammatory stimuli. These changes are consistent with the inhibition of particular enzymes involved in purine metabolism by quercetin and its HUVEC metabolites.

Oxidative Glucose Metabolism Promotes Senescence in Vascular Endothelial Cells.

Project description:Vascular aging is based on the development of endothelial dysfunction, which is thought to be promoted by senescent cells accumulating in aged tissues and is possibly affected by their environment via inflammatory mediators and oxidative stress. Senescence appears to be closely interlinked with changes in cell metabolism. Here, we describe an upregulation of both glycolytic and oxidative glucose metabolism in replicative senescent endothelial cells compared to young endothelial cells by employing metabolic profiling and glucose flux measurements and by analyzing the expression of key metabolic enzymes. Senescent cells exhibit higher glycolytic activity and lactate production together with an enhanced expression of lactate dehydrogenase A as well as increases in tricarboxylic acid cycle activity and mitochondrial respiration. The latter is likely due to the reduced expression of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases (PDHKs) in senescent cells, which may lead to increased activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Cellular and mitochondrial ATP production were elevated despite signs of mitochondrial dysfunction, such as an increased production of reactive oxygen species and extended mitochondrial mass. A shift from glycolytic to oxidative glucose metabolism induced by pharmacological inhibition of PDHKs in young endothelial cells resulted in premature senescence, suggesting that alterations in cellular glucose metabolism may act as a driving force for senescence in endothelial cells.

Effects of Lactobacillus Fermentum Supplementation on Body Weight and Pro-Inflammatory Cytokine Expression in Campylobacter Jejuni-Challenged Chickens.

Project description:Due to the interest in using probiotic bacteria in poultry production, this research was focused on evaluating the effects of Lactobacillus fermentum Biocenol CCM 7514 administration on body weight gain and cytokine gene expression in chickens challenged with Campylobacter jejuni. One-hundred and eight 1-day old COBB 500 broiler chickens were equally assigned to four experimental groups at random. In the control group (C) chicks were left untreated, whereas in groups LB and LBCj a suspension of L. fermentum was administered. A suspension of C. jejuni was subsequently applied to groups Cj and LBCj. Body weight was registered, and the individuals were later slaughtered; cecum samples were collected at 12, 36 and 48 h post-infection (hpi). The entire experiment lasted seven days. Reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to determine expression levels of IL-1β, IL-15, IL-17, and IL-18 at each time point. Pathogen-infected individuals were observed to weigh significantly less than those fed with the probiotic. Significant differences were also found in transcript abundance; expression of IL-15 was downregulated by the probiotic and upregulated by C. jejuni. The effects of bacterial treatments were time-dependent, as the expression profiles differed at later stages. The present outcomes demonstrate that L. fermentum both reduces the impact of C. jejuni infection on chicken body weight and regulates positively pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, which ultimately increase bird well-being and improves production.

Tim-3 regulates pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine expression in human CD14+ monocytes.

Project description:Tim-3 and PD-1 are powerful immunoinhibitory molecules involved in immune tolerance, autoimmune responses, and antitumor or antiviral immune evasion. A current model for Tim-3 regulation during immune responses suggests a divergent function, such that Tim-3 acts synergistically with TLR signaling pathways in innate immune cells to promote inflammation, yet the same molecule terminates Th1 immunity in adaptive immune cells. To better understand how Tim-3 might be functioning in innate immune responses, we examined the kinetics of Tim-3 expression in human CD14+ M/M(Ф) in relation to expression of IL-12, a key cytokine in the transition of innate to adaptive immunity. Here, we show that Tim-3 is constitutively expressed on unstimulated peripheral blood CD14+ monocytes but decreases rapidly upon TLR stimulation. Conversely, IL-12 expression is low in these cells but increases rapidly in CD14+ M/M(Ф) in correlation with the decrease in Tim-3. Blocking Tim-3 signaling or silencing Tim-3 expression led to a significant increase in TLR-mediated IL-12 production, as well as a decrease in activation-induced up-regulation of the immunoinhibitor, PD-1; TNF-α production was not altered significantly, but IL-10 production was increased. These results suggest that Tim-3 has a role as a regulator of pro- and anti-inflammatory innate immune responses.

Ischemia-Challenged human umbilical vascular endothelial cells: Proteomics data.

Project description:[Human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) underwent ischemia, ischemia/reperfusion and normal control (sham) treatment and marked as group I, IR and NC, respectively, were detected by quantitative proteomics and bioinformatics analyses. Proteins in Beclin-1/LC3-II-dependent canonical macroautophagy pathway were verified in details. The significantly upregulated proteins encoded by autophagy-related genes (ATGs) included ATG2A, ATG3, ATG4B, ATG5, ATG7, ATG9A, ATG12, ATG16 and ATG101. The significantly enhanced lysosomal proteins comprised Cathepsin B, Cathepsin D, lysosome-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP1) and LAMP2. However, the differentially expressed proteins excluded Beclin-1, microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3)-I and LC3-II. Western blot analyses verified that the protein expressions of Beclin-1, LC3-I and LC3-II were neither upregulated nor downregulated in ischemia-challenged HUVECs.].

Release of anti-inflammatory peptides from thermosensitive nanoparticles with degradable cross-links suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokine production.

Project description:Pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) are mediators in the development of many inflammatory diseases. To demonstrate that macrophages take up and respond to thermosensitive nanoparticle drug carriers, we synthesized PEGylated poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonate) particles cross-linked with degradable disulfide (N,N'-bis(acryloyl)cystamine) (NGPEGSS). An anti-inflammatory peptide (KAFAK) was loaded and released from the thermosensitive nanoparticles and shown to suppress levels of TNF-α and IL-6 production in macrophages. Cellular uptake of fluorescent, thermosensitive, and degradable nanoparticles and therapeutic efficacy of free KAFAK peptide compared to that of KAFAK loaded in PEGylated degradable thermosensitive nanoparticles were examined. The data suggests that the degradable, thermosensitive nanoparticles loaded with KAFAK may be an effective tool to treat inflammatory diseases.

Stress-induced pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine concentrations in female PTSD and depressive patients.

Project description:Alterations of the hypothalamus pituitary-axis on one hand and heightened rates of somatic diseases and mortality on the other hand are consistently found for PTSD and MDD patients. A possible link between these factors might be the immune system, in particular pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. A 'low-grade inflammation' in PTSD and MDD patients was found, whereas the influence of acute stress and the role of anti-inflammatory cytokines was rarely examined. In this study, 17 female PTSD patients participated in the Trier social stress test while serum cytokine levels (IL-6, IL-10) were assessed. Cytokine levels of PTSD patients were compared with levels of female depressive patients (n = 18) and female healthy controls (n = 18). Group differences were assessed using a 3 (group) x 8 (time: -15, -1, +1, +10, +20, +30, +45, +60 min) ANCOVA for repeated measures with baseline values as covariates. There was no group difference regarding IL-6 levels (p = 0.920) but PTSD patients showed significantly higher levels of IL-10 compared with depressive patients (p < 0.001, d = 0.16) and healthy controls (p = 0.001, d = 0.38). Under acute stress, PTSD patients did not show the widely found elevated IL-6 levels but showed an increase of anti-inflammatory IL-10. Therefore, acute stress seems to promote an imbalance of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine levels in PTSD and might indicate a hyperreactive immune response. This should be considered in future studies to further understand the role of the immune system as a link between stress response and somatic diseases.

Pro-/anti-inflammatory cytokine gene polymorphisms and chronic kidney disease: a cross-sectional study.

Project description:BackgroundThe aim of this study was to explore the associations between common potential functional promoter polymorphisms in pro-/anti-inflammatory cytokine genes and kidney function/chronic kidney disease (CKD) prevalence in a large Japanese population.MethodsA total of 3,323 subjects aged 35-69 were genotyped for all 10 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter regions of candidate genes with minor allele frequencies of > 0.100 in Japanese populations. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and CKD prevalence (eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2) of the subjects were compared among the genotypes.ResultsA higher eGFR and lower prevalence of CKD were observed for the homozygous variants of IL4 -33CC (high IL-4 [anti-inflammatory cytokine]-producing genotype) and IL6 -572GG (low IL-6 [pro-inflammatory cytokine]-producing genotype). Subjects with IL4 CC + IL6 GG showed the highest mean eGFR (79.1 ml/min/1.73 m2) and lowest CKD prevalence (0.0%), while subjects carrying IL4 TT + IL6 CC showed the lowest mean eGFR (73.4 ml/min/1.73 m2) and highest CKD prevalence (17.9%).ConclusionsThe functional promoter polymorphisms IL4 T-33C (rs2070874) and IL6 C-572G (rs1800796), which are the only SNPs that affect the IL-4 and IL-6 levels in Japanese subjects, were associated with kidney function and CKD prevalence in a large Japanese population.

Oxidative products from alcohol metabolism differentially modulate pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in Kupffer cells and hepatocytes.

Project description:Pro-inflammatory cytokines play a vital role in the pathogenesis of alcoholic steatohepatitis. The present study was to determine the role of alcohol-induced oxidative stress in modulating cytokine production. A rat model of alcohol consumption was used to determine alcohol-induced hepatic cytokine expression. Chronic alcohol exposure caused lipid accumulation, oxidative stress, and inflammation in the livers of Wistar rats. The role of oxidative stress in regulating cell type-specific cytokine production was further dissected in vitro. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) dose-dependently upregulated TNF-?, MIP-1?, MCP-1, and CINC-1 in Kupffer cells-SV40, whereas TNF-? dose-dependently induced CINC-1, IP-10, and MIP-2 expression in H4IIEC3 hepatoma cells. An additive effect on cytokine production was observed in both Kupffer cells-SV40 and hepatocytes when combined hydrogen peroxide with LPS or TNF-?, respectively, which was associated with NF-?B activation and histone H3 hyper-acetylation. Unexpectedly, an inhibitory effect of 4-hydroxynonenal on cytokine production was revealed in LPS-treated Kupffer cells-SV40. Mechanistic study showed that 4-hydroxynonenal significantly enhanced mRNA degradation of TNF-?, MCP-1, and MIP-1?, and decreased the protein levels of MCP-1 in LPS-stimulated Kupffer cells-SV40 through reducing the phosphorylation of mRNA binding proteins. This study suggests that Kupffer cells and hepatocytes express distinct pro-inflammatory cytokines/chemokines in response to alcohol intoxication, and oxidative products (4-hydroxynonenal) differentially modulate pro-inflammatory cytokine/chemokine production via NF-?B signaling, histone acetylation, and mRNA stability.

Embryonic periventricular endothelial cells demonstrate a unique pro-neurodevelopment and anti-inflammatory gene signature.

Project description:Brain embryonic periventricular endothelial cells (PVEC) crosstalk with neural progenitor cells (NPC) promoting mutual proliferation, formation of tubular-like structures in the former and maintenance of stemness in the latter. To better characterize this interaction, we conducted a comparative transcriptome analysis of mouse PVEC vs. adult brain endothelial cells (ABEC) in mono-culture or NPC co-culture. We identified > 6000 differentially expressed genes (DEG), regardless of culture condition. PVEC exhibited a 30-fold greater response to NPC than ABEC (411 vs. 13 DEG). Gene Ontology (GO) analysis of DEG that were higher or lower in PVEC vs. ABEC identified "Nervous system development" and "Response to Stress" as the top significantly different biological process, respectively. Enrichment in canonical pathways included HIF1A, FGF/stemness, WNT signaling, interferon signaling and complement. Solute carriers (SLC) and ABC transporters represented an important subset of DEG, underscoring PVEC's implication in blood-brain barrier formation and maintenance of nutrient-rich/non-toxic environment. Our work characterizes the gene signature of PVEC and their important partnership with NPC, underpinning their unique role in maintaining a healthy neurovascular niche, and in supporting brain development. This information may pave the way for additional studies to explore their therapeutic potential in neuro-degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

RSPO3 impairs barrier function of human vascular endothelial monolayers and synergizes with pro-inflammatory IL-1.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Endothelial barrier dysfunction characterized by hyperpermeability of the vascular endothelium is a key factor in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases and affects clinical outcomes. In states of chronic inflammation, mediators secreted by activated immune cells or vascular endothelium may affect the barrier function and permeability of the vascular endothelium. The matricellular R-spondin family member RSPO3 is produced by inflammatory-activated human monocytes and vascular endothelial cells, but its effects in the regulation of vascular endothelial barrier function remains elusive. METHODS:The present study investigates the effects of RSPO3 on the barrier function of adult human primary macro- and micro- vascular endothelial monolayers. Tight monolayers of primary endothelial cells from human coronary and pulmonary arteries, and cardiac, brain, and dermal microvascular beds were treated with RSPO3 either alone or in combination with pro-inflammatory mediator IL-1?. Endothelial barrier function was assessed non-invasively in real-time using Electric Cell-substrate Impedance Sensing. RESULTS:RSPO3 treatment critically affected barrier function by enhancing the permeability of all vascular endothelial monolayers investigated. To confer hyperpermeable phenotype in vascular endothelial monolayers, RSPO3 induced inter-endothelial gap formation by disrupting the ?-catenin and VE-cadherin alignment at adherens junctions. RSPO3 synergistically enhanced the barrier impairing properties of the pro-inflammatory mediator IL-1?. CONCLUSION:Here, we show that the matricellular protein RSPO3 is a mediator of endothelial hyperpermeability that can act in synergy with the inflammatory mediator IL-1?. This finding stimulates further studies to delineate the endothelial barrier impairing properties of RSPO3 and its synergistic interaction with IL-1? in chronic inflammatory diseases.
