Exp Mol Med 2024; 56:1479-1487. [PMID: 38945955 PMCID: PMC11297275 DOI: 10.1038/s12276-024-01260-9] [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: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 03/04/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024] Open
Abstract
The development of chemoresistance is a major challenge in the treatment of several types of cancers in clinical settings. Stemness and chemoresistance are the chief causes of poor clinical outcomes. In this context, we hypothesized that understanding the signaling pathways responsible for chemoresistance in cancers is crucial for the development of novel targeted therapies to overcome drug resistance. Among the aberrantly activated pathways, the PI3K-Akt/Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is clinically implicated in malignancies such as colorectal cancer (CRC) and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Aberrant dysregulation of phospholipase D (PLD) has been implicated in several malignancies, and oncogenic activation of this pathway facilitates tumor proliferation, stemness, and chemoresistance. Crosstalk involving the PLD and Wnt/β-catenin pathways promotes the progression of CRC and GBM and reduces the sensitivity of cancer cells to standard therapies. Notably, both pathways are tightly regulated and connected at multiple levels by upstream and downstream effectors. Thus, gaining deeper insights into the interactions between these pathways would help researchers discover unique therapeutic targets for the management of drug-resistant cancers. Here, we review the molecular mechanisms by which PLD signaling stimulates stemness and chemoresistance in CRC and GBM. Thus, the current review aims to address the importance of PLD as a central player coordinating cross-talk between the PI3K/Akt and Wnt/β-catenin pathways and proposes the possibility of targeting these pathways to improve cancer therapy and overcome drug resistance.

Effects of Long-Term Non-Pruning on Main Quality Constituents in 'Dancong' Tea ( Camellia sinensis) Leaves Based on Proteomics and Metabolomics Analysis. Foods 2021; 10:2649. [PMID: 34828929 PMCID: PMC8625003 DOI: 10.3390/foods10112649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2021] [Revised: 10/25/2021] [Accepted: 10/26/2021] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
'Dancong' tea is a famous traditional Oolong tea. In order to keep the original taste of "ancient tea trees", most of the 'Dancong' tea plants are planted in a single plant pattern without pruning. The objective of this study was to explore the effects of long-term non-pruning on main quality constituents in 'Dancong' tea. The results showed that the contents of free amino acids, chlorophylls, and floral-honey aromatic substances in tea leaves of unpruned tea plants were higher than those in every year pruned tea plants, while the catechin content in leaves of pruned tea plants was higher than that in leaves of unpruned tea plants. Quantitative proteomics analysis showed that most enzymes involved in biosynthesis of catechins were downregulated in leaves of unpruned tea plants. Five proteins involved in chlorophyll metabolism and 12 proteins related to photosynthesis were upregulated, and the results suggested that higher chlorophyll content and more efficient photosynthetic energy conversion may be important for the higher accumulation of special quality components in leaves of unpruned tea plants. The findings of this study will advance our understanding of the mechanism of formation of different metabolites in leaves of unpruned and pruned tea plants.

Abstract
Tea (Camellia sinensis) is both a plant and a foodstuff. Many bioactive compounds, which are present in the final tea product and related to its quality or functional properties, are produced during the tea manufacturing process. However, the characteristic secondary metabolites, which give tea its unique qualities and are beneficial to human health, are produced mainly in the leaves during the process of plant growth. Therefore, it is important to understand how tea leaves produce these specialized metabolites. In this review, we first compare the common metabolites and specialized metabolites in tea, coffee, cocoa, and grape and discuss the occurrence of characteristic secondary metabolites in tea. Progress in research into the formation of these characteristic secondary metabolites in tea is summarized, including establishing a biological database and genetic transformation system, and the biosynthesis of characteristic secondary metabolites. Finally, speculation on future research into the characteristic secondary metabolites of tea is provided from the viewpoints of the origin, resources, cultivation, and processing of tea. This review provides an important reference for future research on the specialized metabolites of tea in terms of its characteristics.

Abstract
The R2R3-MYB transcription factor (TF) family regulates metabolism of phenylpropanoids in various plant lineages. Species-expanded or specific MYB TFs may regulate species-specific metabolite biosynthesis including phenylpropanoid-derived bioactive products. Camellia sinensis produces an abundance of specialized metabolites, which makes it an excellent model for digging into the genetic regulation of plant-specific metabolite biosynthesis. The most abundant health-promoting metabolites in tea are galloylated catechins, and the most bioactive of the galloylated catechins, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), is specifically relative abundant in C. sinensis. However, the transcriptional regulation of galloylated catechin biosynthesis remains elusive. This study mined the R2R3-MYB TFs associated with galloylated catechin biosynthesis in C. sinensis. A total of 118 R2R3-MYB proteins, classified into 38 subgroups, were identified. R2R3-MYB subgroups specific to or expanded in C. sinensis were hypothesized to be essential to evolutionary diversification of tea-specialized metabolites. Notably, nine of these R2R3-MYB genes were expressed preferentially in apical buds (ABs) and young leaves, exactly where galloylated catechins accumulate. Three putative R2R3-MYB genes displayed strong correlation with key galloylated catechin biosynthesis genes, suggesting a role in regulating biosynthesis of epicatechin gallate (ECG) and EGCG. Overall, this study paves the way to reveal the transcriptional regulation of galloylated catechins in C. sinensis.

Abstract
Lipids play a vital role in numerous cellular functions starting from a structural role as major constituents of membranes to acting as signaling intracellular or extracellular entities. Accordingly, it has been known for decades that lipids, especially those coming from diet, are important to maintain normal physiological functions and good health. On the other side, the exact molecular nature of these beneficial or deleterious lipids, as well as their precise mode of action, is only starting to be unraveled. This recent improvement in our knowledge is largely resulting from novel pharmacological, molecular, cellular, and genetic tools to study lipids in vitro and in vivo. Among these important lipids, phosphatidic acid plays a unique and central role in a great variety of cellular functions. This review will focus on the proposed functions of phosphatidic acid generated by phospholipase D in the last steps of regulated exocytosis with a specific emphasis on hormonal and neurotransmitter release and its potential impact on different neurological diseases.

Abstract
Extracts from Cannabis species have aided the discovery of the endocannabinoid signaling system (ECSS) and phytocannabinoids that possess broad therapeutic potential. Whereas the reinforcing effects of C. sativa are largely attributed to CB1 receptor agonism by Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), the observed medicinal effects of Cannabis arise from the combined actions of various compounds. In addition to compounds bearing a classical cannabinoid structure, naturally occurring fatty acid amides and esters resembling anandamide and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol isolated from non- Cannabis species are also valuable tools for studying ECSS function. This review highlights the potential of plant-based secondary metabolites from Cannabis and unrelated species as ECSS modulators.

Abstract
The link between chronic inflammation and cancer involves cytokines and mediators of inflammatory pathways. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), a key enzyme in fatty acid metabolism, is upregulated during both inflammation and cancer. COX-2 is induced by pro-inflammatory cytokines at the site of inflammation and enhanced COX-2-induced synthesis of prostaglandins stimulates cancer cell proliferation, promotes angiogenesis, inhibits apoptosis, and increases metastatic potential. As a result, COX-2 inhibitors are a subject of intense research interest toward potential clinical applications. Epidemiological studies highlight the potential benefits of diets rich in phytonutrients for cancer prevention. Plants contain numerous phytonutrient secondary metabolites shown to modulate COX-2. Studies have shown that these metabolites, some of which are used in traditional medicine, can reduce inflammation and carcinogenesis. This review describes the molecular mechanisms by which phytonutrients modulate inflammation, including studies of carotenoids, phenolic compounds, and fatty acids targeting various inflammation-related molecules and pathways associated with cancer. Examples of pathways include those of COX-2, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase, mitogen-activated protein kinase, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and transcription factors like nuclear factor kappa B. Such phytonutrient modulation of COX-2 and inflammation continue to be explored for applications in the prevention and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Glioblastomas (GBMs) are malignant brain tumors that can outstrip nutrient supplies due to rapid growth. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) has been linked to GBMs and may contribute to their aggressive phenotypes. Amino acid starvation results in COX-2 mRNA and protein induction in multiple human glioma cell lines in a process requiring p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38-MAPK) and the Sp1 transcription factor. Increased vascular endothelial growth factor expression results from starvation-dependent COX-2 induction. These data suggest that COX-2 induction with amino acid deprivation may be a part of the adaptation of glioma cells to these conditions, and potentially alter cellular response to anti-neoplastic therapy.

Abstract
Tea plant (Camellia sinensis) is one of the most economically valuable crops in the world. Anthracnose can affect the growth of leaves and cause serious yield losses of tea. Tea plants are rich in secondary metabolites; however, their roles in resistance to anthracnose are unclear. Herein we compared the contents of total phenolics, catechins, and caffeine in two cultivars with different resistances to anthracnose during Colletotrichum fructicola infection. (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), (+)-catechin (C), caffeine, and critical regulatory genes were induced in C. fructicola-resistant tissues. In vitro antifungal tests showed that caffeine more strongly inhibited mycelial growth than tea polyphenols and catechins. Both electron microscopy and bioactivity analysis results showed that caffeine can affect mycelial cell walls and plasma membranes. Through promoter sequences analysis, a number of stress response-related cis-acting elements were identified in S-adenosylmethionine synthetase and tea caffeine synthase. These results demonstrated that (-)-EGCG, (+)-C, and caffeine may be involved in the resistance of tea plants to anthracnose.

Abstract
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), a key enzyme that catalyzes the initial, rate-limiting step in tryptophan degradation, is expressed in dendritic cells (DCs) which are stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or interferons. In this study we show that curcumin inhibits IDO expression in vitro and in vivo in DCs, leading to the suppression of LPS-induced DC maturation. The effect of curcumin relative to LPS is not limited to the above, as it also enhances LPS-induced expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Additionally, PGE2 diminished the LPS-induced IDO expression in DCs, thereby contributing to the inhibition of expression of the surface molecules (CD80, CD86 and MHC class I) and the production of the proinflammatory cytokines (IL-12 p70 and TNF-alpha) by LPS stimulation. Under our experimental conditions, curcumin plays an immunomodulatory role by downregulating IDO expression via a COX-2/PGE2-dependant pathway, thus impacting DC maturation in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the role of phospholipase D2 (PLD2) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) synthesis. LPS enhanced NO synthesis and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in macrophage cell line, Raw 264.7 cells. When Raw 264.7 cells were stimulated with LPS, the expressions of PLDs were increased. Thus, to investigate the role of PLD in NO synthesis, we transfected PLD1, PLD2, and their dominant negative forms to Raw 264.7 cells, respectively. Interestingly, only PLD2 overexpression, but not that of PLD1, increased NO synthesis and iNOS expression. Moreover, LPS-induced NO synthesis and iNOS expression were blocked by PLD2 siRNA, suggesting that LPS upregulates NO synthesis through PLD2. Next, we investigated the S6K1-p42/44 MAPK-STAT3 signaling pathway in LPS-induced NO synthesis mechanism. Knockdown of PLD2 with siRNA also decreased phosphorylation of S6K1, p42/44 MAPK and STAT3 induced by LPS. Furthermore, we found that STAT3 bound with the iNOS promoter, and their binding was mediated by PLD2. Taken together, our results demonstrate the importance of PLD2 for LPS-induced NO synthesis in Raw 264.7 cells with involvement of the S6K1-p42/44 MAPK-STAT3 pathway.

Yoon SH, Min DS, Bae YS. Over-expression of phospholipase D isozymes down-regulates protein kinase CKII activity via proteasome-dependent CKIIbeta degradation in NIH3T3 cells. Mol Cells 2009; 27:299-305. [PMID: 19326076 DOI: 10.1007/s10059-009-0038-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2008] [Revised: 12/16/2008] [Accepted: 12/22/2008] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Over-expression of phospholipase D (PLD) 1 or PLD2 down-regulated CKII activity in NIH3T3 cells. The same results were found with catalytically inactive mutants of PLD isozymes, indicating that the catalytic activity of PLD is not required for PLD-mediated CKII inhibition. Consistent with this, 1-butanol did not alter CKII activity. The reduction in CKII activity in PLD-over-expressing NIH3T3 cells was due to reduced protein level, but not mRNA level, of the CKIIbeta subunit. This PLD-induced CKIIbeta degradation was mediated by ubiquitin-proteasome machinery, but MAP kinase and mTOR were not involved in CKIIbeta degradation. PLD isozymes interacted with the CKIIbeta subunit. Immunocyto-chemical staining revealed that PLD and CKIIbeta colocalize in the cytoplasm of NIH3T3 cells, especially in the perinuclear region. PLD binding to CKIIbeta inhibited CKIIbeta autophosphory-lation, which is known to be important for CKIIbeta stability. In summary, the current data indicate that PLD isozymes can down-regulate CKII activity through the acceleration of CKIIbeta degradation by ubiquitin-proteasome machinery.

Abstract
LPA (lysophosphatidic acid) is a potent bioactive phospholipid, which regulates a number of diverse cellular responses through G protein-coupled LPA receptors. Intracellular LPA is generated by the phosphorylation of monoacylglycerol by acylglycerol kinase (AGK); however, the role of intracellular LPA in signaling and cellular responses remains to be elucidated. Here, we investigated signaling pathways of IL-8 secretion mediated by AGK and intracellular LPA in human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEpCs). Expression of AGK in HBEpCs was detected by real-time PCR, and overexpressed AGK was mainly localized in mitochondria as determined by immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy. Overexpression of lentiviral AGK wild type increased intracellular LPA production ( approximately 1.8-fold), enhanced LPA-mediated IL-8 secretion, and stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation epidermal growth factor-receptor (EGF-R). Furthermore, downregulation of native AGK by AGK small interfering RNA decreased intracellular LPA levels ( approximately 2-fold) and attenuated LPA-induced p38 MAPK, JNK, and NF-kappaB activation, tyrosine phosphorylation of EGF-R, and IL-8 secretion. These results suggest that native AGK regulates LPA-mediated IL-8 secretion involving MAPKs, NF-kappaB, and transactivation of EGF-R. Thus AGK may play an important role in innate immunity and airway remodeling during inflammation.

Abstract
Low blood folate and raised homocysteine concentrations are associated with poor cognitive function. Folic acid supplementation improves cognitive function. Folic acid enhances the plasma concentrations of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). EPA, DHA, and arachidonic acid (AA) are of benefit in dementia and Alzheimer's disease by up-regulating gene expression concerned with neurogenesis, neurotransmission and connectivity, improving endothelial nitric oxide (eNO) generation, enhancing brain acetylcholine levels, and suppressing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. EPA, DHA, and AA also form precursors to anti-inflammatory compounds such as lipoxins, resolvins, and neuroprotectin D1 (NPD1) that protect neurons from the cytotoxic action of various noxious stimuli. Furthermore, various neurotrophins and statins enhance the formation of NPD1 and thus, protect neurons from oxidative stress and prevent neuronal apoptosis Folic acid improves eNO generation, enhances plasma levels of EPA/DHA and thus, could augment the formation of NPD1. These results suggest that a combination of EPA, DHA, AA and folic acid could be of significant benefit in dementia, depression, and Alzheimer's disease and improve cognitive function.

Abstract
Stress activates the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis leading to enhanced glucocorticoid secretion and concurrently disrupts ovarian cycle. Plant polyphenols are known to posses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory proprieties. This could be of interest for ovarian cycle when stressing conditions lead to progesterone enhancement and hamper normal reproduction activity. The present study examined whether ovarian follicular development and progesterone secretory pattern are affected by exogenous ACTH administration in heifers. Moreover, the effect of grape polyphenols in endometrium of heifers, under adrenocorticotropic hormone challenge, is evaluated in terms of transcriptional patterns of genes related to inflammation, oxidative stress and endometrial functions. At day 14 of synchronized estrous cycle, Holstein Friesian heifers received injections of either saline (CTR group) or adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACT group) agonist every 12 h for 7 days. Another group (POL group) of animals received the same treatment plus an oral supplementation of 15 g/day of grape skin extract. Cortisol and progesterone were analysed in the blood samples collected at days 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 14, 17, 21, 24 of the estrous cycle. Endometrial biopsies were collected at diestrus (day 18) and at estrus and a panel of gene expressions were quantified by real-time PCR. ACTH administration increased both cortisol (P<0.001) and progesterone concentrations (P<0.01) compared to CTR group. PGHS-2 was significantly (P<0.01) up-regulated in the POL group compared to ACT and CTR groups at diestrus and at estrus. FOXO3 and TIS11b were down-regulated in the CTR group compared to ACT and POL groups. The PGHS-2, SOD2 (P<0.05), FOXO3 and TIS11b (P<0.10) genes were down-regulated at estrus in all groups compared to diestrus. An interesting role of polyphenols in modulating the expression levels of PGHS-2 in endometrial tissue and on the activation of TIS11b and SOD2 through c-AMP-dependent signalling was suggested.

Abstract
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is an isoform of prostaglandin H synthase induced by hypoxia and has been implicated in the growth and progression of a variety of human cancers. In the present study, we investigated the role of phospholipase D (PLD) isozymes in cobalt chloride (CoCl(2))-induced hypoxia-driven COX-2 expression in U87 MG human astroglioma cells. CoCl(2) stimulated PLD activity and synthesis of COX-2 protein in a dose and time-dependent manner. Moreover, elevated expression of PLD1 and PLD2 increased hypoxia-induced COX-2 expression and prostaglandin E2 (PGE(2)) production. Pretreatment of cells with 1-butanol, but not 3-butanol, suppressed CoCl(2)-induced COX-2 expression and PGE(2) formation. In addition, evidence that PLD activity was involved in the stimulation of COX-2 expression was provided by the observations that overexpression of wild type PLD isozymes, but not catalytically inactive PLD isozymes, stimulated CoCl(2)-induced COX-2 expression and PGE(2) production. PLD1 enhanced COX-2 expression by CoCl(2) via reactive oxygen species (ROS), p38 MAPK kinase, PKC-delta, and PKA, but not ERK, whereas PLD2 enhanced CoCl(2)-induced COX-2 expression via ROS and p38 MAPK, but not ERK, PKC-delta, and PKA. Differential regulation of COX-2 expression mediated through PLD isozymes was comparable with that of CoCl(2)-induced PLD activity in these two PLD isozymes. Taken together, our results demonstrate for the first time that PLD1 and PLD2 isozymes enhance CoCl(2)-induced COX-2 expression through differential signaling pathways in astroglioma cells.

Abstract
Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the major polyphenol component of green tea and is primarily responsible for the green tea effect. EGCG possesses two triphenolic groups in its structure. These groups are reported to be important with respect to anticarcinogenic and antioxidant effects. However, the anti-inflammatory effect of EGCG on Alzheimer's disease (AD) is still not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the effects of EGCG in attenuating the inflammatory response induced by interleukin (IL)-1beta+beta-amyloid (25-35) fragment (Abeta) in human astrocytoma, U373MG cells. EGCG significantly inhibited the IL-1beta+Abeta (25-35)-induced IL-6, IL-8, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and prostaglandin (PG)E(2) production at 24 h (P<.01). The maximal inhibition rate of IL-6, IL-8, VEGF and PGE(2) production by EGCG was approximately 54.40%, 56.01%, 69.06% and 47.03%, respectively. EGCG also attenuated the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 and activation of nuclear factor-kappaB induced by IL-1beta+Abeta (25-35). We demonstrated that EGCG suppresses IL-1beta+Abeta (25-35)-induced phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase p38 and the c-Jun N-terminal kinase. In addition, EGCG induced the expression of mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1. These results provide new insight into the pharmacological actions of EGCG and its potential therapeutic application to various neurodegenerative diseases such as AD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acrolein, a known toxin in tobacco smoke, might be involved in atherogenesis. This study examined the effect of acrolein on expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and prostaglandin (PG) production in endothelial cells. METHODS AND RESULTS Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 induction by acrolein and signal pathways were measured using Western blots, Northern blots, immunofluorescence, ELISA, gene silencing, and promoter assay. Colocalization of COX2 and acrolein-adduct was determined by immunohistochemistry. Here we report that the levels of COX-2 mRNA and protein are increased in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) after acrolein exposure. COX-2 was found to colocalize with acrolein-lysine adducts in human atherosclerotic lesions. Inhibition of p38 MAPK activity abolished the induction of COX-2 protein and PGE2 accumulation by acrolein, while suppression of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and JNK activity had no effect on the induction of COX-2 expression in experiments using inhibitors and siRNA. Furthermore, rottlerin, an inhibitor of protein kinase Cdelta (PKCdelta), abrogated the upregulation of COX-2 at both protein and mRNA levels. CONCLUSION These results provide that acrolein may play a role in progression of atherosclerosis and new information on the signaling pathways involved in COX-2 upregulation in response to acrolein and provide evidence that PKCdelta and p38 MAPK are required for transcriptional activation of COX-2.

Abstract
Pathological conditions such as coronary artery disease are clinically controlled via therapeutic regulation of platelet activity. Thrombin, through protease-activated receptor (PAR) 1 and PAR4, plays a central role in regulation of human platelet function in that it is known to be the most potent activator of human platelets. Currently, direct thrombin inhibitors used to block platelet activation result in unwanted side effects of excessive bleeding. An alternative therapeutic strategy would be to inhibit PAR-mediated intracellular platelet signaling pathways. To elucidate the best target, we are studying differences between the two platelet thrombin receptors, PAR1 and PAR4, in mediating thrombin's action. In this study, we show that platelet activation by PAR1-activating peptide (PAR1-AP) requires a phospholipase D (PLD)-mediated phosphatidic acid (PA) signaling pathway. We show that this PAR1-specific PA-mediated effect is not regulated through differential granule secretion after PAR-induced platelet activation. Perturbation of this signaling pathway via inhibition of lipid phosphate phosphatase-1 (LPP-1) by propranolol or inhibition of the phosphatidylcholine-derived phosphatidic acid (PA) formation by PLD with a primary alcohol significantly attenuated platelet activation by PAR1-AP. Platelet activation by thrombin or PAR4-AP was insensitive to these inhibitors. Furthermore, these inhibitors significantly attenuated activation of Rap1 after stimulation by PAR1-AP but not thrombin or PAR4-AP. Because PA metabolites such as diacylglycerol play an important role in intracellular signaling, identifying crucial differences in PA regulation of PAR-induced platelet activation may lead to a greater understanding of the role of PAR1 versus PAR4 in progression of thrombosis.

Abstract
The prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) can play critical roles in the pulmonary inflammation or carcinogenesis. It is the first investigation of the effect of a green tea polyphenol, (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), on the PGE(2)-producing microsomal prostaglandin E synthase 1 (mPGES-1) expression in the lung alveolar type II pneumocytes, A549 cells as an epithelial model. EGCG enhanced cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and mPGES-1 gene expression as well as PGE(2). Among several tea catechins, EGCG was most effective in inducing mPGES-1 expression. Moreover, even in the cytokine-stimulated cells, mPGES-1 protein was super-induced by EGCG treatment. As signaling mediators in mPGES-1 induction by EGCG, active ERK1/2 MAP kinases and early growth response gene 1 (EGR-1) were increased after exposure to EGCG. Moreover, EGCG stimulated the nuclear translocation of the EGR-1 protein in A549 cells through ERK signaling pathway. Recent studies demonstrate that EGR-1 is a key transcription factor in mPGES-1 gene expression. When blocking the gene expression of EGR-1 with EGR-1 siRNA or ERK inhibitor, EGCG-induced mPGES-1 was suppressed in both cases. mPGES-1 promoter with deleted or point-mutated EGR-1 binding sites showed significantly less response to the EGCG stimulation, which also implicated the importance of EGR-1 binding in promoting mPGES-1 gene expression. Taken all, EGCG was strong inducer of EGR-1 expression and mediated EGR-1 nuclear translocation via ERK signaling pathway in A549 pulmonary epithelial cells. Induced EGR-1 then stimulated the induction of mPGES-1 gene expression and this effect mechanistically can be linked to the pharmacological or toxicological actions after human exposure to green tea catechins.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of many neurodegenerative disorders, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 associated dementia, is exacerbated by an imbalance between matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). In the context of disease, TIMP-1 has emerged as an important multifunctional protein capable of regulating inflammation. We previously reported differential TIMP-1 expression in acute versus chronic activation of astrocytes. This study investigates possible mechanisms underlying TIMP-1 downregulation in chronic neuroinflammation. We used interleukin (IL)-1beta as a model pro-inflammatory stimulus and measured TIMP-1 binding to extracellular matrix, cell death, receptor downregulation, TIMP-1 mRNA stability and transcriptional regulation in activated astrocytes. TIMP-1 remained localized to the cell body or was secreted into the cell supernatant. DNA fragmentation ELISA and MTT assay showed that prolonged IL-1beta activation of astrocytes induced significant astrocyte death. In acute and chronic IL-1beta-activated astrocytes, IL-1 receptor levels were not significantly different. TIMP-1 mRNA stability was measured in astrocytes and U87 astroglioma cells by real-time PCR, and TIMP-1 promoter activation was studied using TIMP-1-luciferase reporter constructs in transfected astrocytes. Our results indicated that TIMP-1 expression is regulated through multiple mechanisms. Transcriptional control and loss of mRNA stabilization are, however, the most likely primary contributors to chronic downregulation of TIMP-1. These data are important for unraveling the mechanisms underlying astrocyte responses during chronic neuroinflammation and have broader implications in other inflammatory diseases that involve MMP/TIMP imbalance.

Abstract
Dopamine transporter (DAT) provides not only an integral component of dopaminergic neurotransmission but also a molecular gateway for the accumulation of some neurotoxins such as 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP(+)), a metabolite of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP). Previous study reported that the neuroprotective effects of green tea polyphenols against MPP(+)-induced neurotoxicity were related to its inhibitory effect on MPP(+) uptake via DAT in dopaminergic cells. To extend the study, we investigated (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a monomer of green tea polyphenols, on DAT internalization in DAT-overexpressed PC12 cells. We found that EGCG (1-100 microM) can induce a dose-dependent inhibition of dopamine uptake in DAT-PC12 cells. In parallel, treatment of EGCG decreased membrane-bound DAT by 15% to 60%. Furthermore, protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor GF109203X at 2 microM can markedly diminish the inhibitory effects of EGCG on dopamine uptake and reverse the EGCG-induced internalization of DAT. In addition, semiquantitative RT-PCR analysis indicated that EGCG did not affect DAT mRNA expression in the PC12 cells. These data suggest that EGCG exerts its inhibitory effect on DAT by modulating DAT internalization, in which PKC activation may be involved.

Abstract
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) increases the formation of cytosolic lipid droplets by a mechanism that is independent of the rate of triglyceride biosynthesis and involves an enhanced fusion between lipid droplets, a process that is crucial for their growth in size. EGCG treatment reduced the secretion of both triglycerides and apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB-100) VLDLs but not of transferrin, albumin, or total proteins, indicating that EGCG diverts triglycerides from VLDL assembly to storage in the cytosol. This is further supported by the observed increase in both intracellular degradation of apoB-100 and ubiquitination of the protein (indicative of increased proteasomal degradation) in EGCG-treated cells. EGCG did not interfere with the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein, and the effect of EGCG on the secretion of VLDLs was found to be independent of the LDL receptor. Thus, our results indicate that EGCG promotes the accumulation of triglycerides in cytosolic lipid droplets, thereby diverting lipids from the assembly of VLDL to storage in the cytosol. Our results also indicate that the accumulation of lipids in the cytosol is not always associated with increased secretion of VLDL.
