The expression of inflammatory genes in endothelial cells is inhibited by N-octanoyl dopamine via modulation of the NFkB pathway

ABSTRACT: Background: Dopamine has intrinsic receptor-independent anti-inflammatory properties when used at high concentrations. Since cellular uptake of N-octanoyl dopamine (NOD) is far better than of dopamine, NOD might display anti-inflammatory effects already at relative low concentrations. The present study was conducted to assess the anti-inflammatory potential of NOD and to elucidate how this was mediated. Methods: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were stimulated with TNF-α in the presence of various NOD concentrations. Affymetrix gene expression profiling (GEP), Western blotting, adhesion of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to endothelial cells and NFκB activation was studied. Compounds that were structurally related to NOD were used to address the molecular entities within NOD that were required for its anti-inflammatory properties. Results: GEP revealed that NOD down-regulates a wide range of pro-inflammatory mediators. Down-regulation of adhesion molecules was confirmed at the protein level and resulted in a decreased adhesion of PBMC to endothelial cells under static and flow conditions. NOD inhibited NFκB independently of IκBα degradation. Inhibition was associated with an overall decrease in p65 expression and a significant decrease in p65 phosphorylation at Ser276. De novo protein synthesis was not required for inhibition and was not mediated via HO-1. Redox activity and hydrophobicity of NOD seemed to be important entities for its anti-inflammatory properties. Conclusion: Our data demonstrate that NOD has potent anti-inflammatory effects through its action on NFκB. Unlike dopamine, NOD has no adverse effects on blood pressure, making it a promising candidate drug to reduce excessive inflammation occurring under various pathological conditions.

Project description:Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) significantly inhibits proliferation of a proportion of cancer cell lines by activating GnRH receptor-G protein signaling. Therefore, manipulation of GnRH receptor signaling may have an under-utilized role in treating certain breast and ovarian cancers. However, the precise signaling pathways necessary for the effect and the features of cellular responses remain poorly defined. We used transcriptomic and proteomic profiling approaches to characterize the effects of GnRH receptor activation in sensitive cells (HEK293-GnRHR, SCL60) in in vitro and in vivo settings, compared to unresponsive HEK293. Analyses of gene expression demonstrated a dynamic SCL60 response to the GnRH super-agonist Triptorelin. Early and mid-phase changes (0.5-1.0 h) comprised mainly transcription factors. Later changes (8-24 h) included a GnRH target gene, CGA, and up or down-regulation of transcripts encoding signaling and cell division machinery. Pathway analysis exposed identified altered mitogen-activated protein kinase and cell cycle pathways, consistent with occurrence of G2/M arrest and apoptosis. NFκB pathway gene transcripts were differentially expressed between control and Triptorelin-treated SCL60 cultures. Reverse phase protein and phospho-proteomic array analyses profiled responses in cultured cells and SCL60 xenografts in vivo during Triptorelin anti-proliferation. Increased phosphorylated NFκB (p65) occurred in SCL60 in vitro, and p-NFκB and IκBε were higher in treated xenografts than controls after 4 days Triptorelin. NFκB inhibition enhanced the anti-proliferative effect of Triptorelin in SCL60 cultures. This study reveals details of pathways interacting with intense GnRH receptor signaling, identifies potential anti-proliferative target genes and implicates the NFκB survival pathway as a node for enhancing GnRH agonist-induced anti-proliferation. 55 samples: 35 SCL60 (15 Control, 20 Treated), 20 HEK293 (12 Control, 8 Treated). Samples collected after 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 8 or 24h after treatment with Triptorelin (100nM) or vehicle control (20% Propylene Glycol solution). SCL60 cells are HEK293 cells stably transfected with a high level of functional rat GnRHR.
