Xu J, Peng WR, Zhang D, Sun HX, Li L, Sun F, Gu ZC, Lin HW. Marine sponge-derived alkaloid ameliorates DSS-induced IBD via inhibiting IL-6 expression through modulating JAK2-STAT3-SOCS3 pathway. Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 129:111576. [PMID: 38350353 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.111576] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/15/2024]
Abstract
Cyanogramide (AC14), a novel alkaloid, isolated from the fermentation broth of the marine-derived Actinoalloteichus cyanogriseus. However, the exact role of AC14 in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is poorly understood. Our results demonstrated that AC14 exhibited significant inhibition of IL-6 release in THP-1 cells and a "Caco-2/THP-1" coculture system after stimulation with LPS for 24 h. However, no significant effect on TNF-α production was observed. Furthermore, in 2.5 % DSS-induced colitis mice, AC14 treatment led to improvement in body weight, colon length, and intestine mucosal barrier integrity. AC14 also suppressed serum IL-6 production and modulated dysregulated microbiota in the mice. Mechanistically, AC14 was found to inhibit the phosphorylation of Janus kinase (JAK) 2 and signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) 3, while simultaneously elevating the expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) 3, both in vivo and in vitro. These findings suggest that AC14 exerts its suppressive effects on IL-6 production in DSS-induced IBD mice through the JAK2-STAT3-SOCS3 signaling pathway. Our study highlights the potential of AC14 as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of IBD.

Yang M, Zhang M, Li XL, Deng YW, Jiao Y. Transcriptome analysis revealed the function of five tandemly duplicated nAChRs in the transplantation immunity in pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2024; 144:109251. [PMID: 38040133 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2023.109251] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2023] [Revised: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 12/03/2023]
Abstract
nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are ligand-gated ion channels that play an important role in the homeostatic regulation of physiological functions. Our previous studies showed that nAChRs in the genome of pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii (PmnAChRs) were expanded through tandem duplication. This study aimed to analyze the function of five tandemly duplicated PmnAChRs in the transplantation immunity in P. f. martensii. Transcriptome analysis reveals that the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) shared between PmnAChR-RNAi and the control group were functionally involved in Signal transduction, Immune system et al., and most of the related genes were down-regulated in the PmnAChR-RNAi group. The different copies of PmnAChR may regulate transplantation immunity through various pathways, such as Wnt, protein digestion and absorption, Hippo, and gap junction pathway. The inflammation factor interleukin-17 (IL-17) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were down-regulated in PmnAChR-1, 4, 5-RNAi group, and the serum from the pearl oysters in the PmnAChR-1-4-RNAi group could promote the proliferation of the Vibrio harveyi, indicating the immunosuppressive function after down-regulation of PmnAChRs. The different responses of antioxidant enzymes and diverse signal pathways after down-regulation of PmnAChRs suggested that the five tandemly duplicated PmnAChRs may cooperate with different α type PmnAChRs and constitute the functional ion channel in the membrane. Results of this study not only provide insight for the effective regulation of the transplantation immunity, but also provide a theoretical reference for the study of the adaptive evolutionary mechanism of repeating genes.
