N-Octanoyl-Dopamine inhibits cytokine production in activated T-cells and diminishes MHC-class-II expression as well as adhesion molecules in IFNγ-stimulated endothelial cells. Sci Rep 2019; 9:19338.

Abstract
IFNγ enhances allograft immunogenicity and facilitates T-cell mediated rejection. This may cause interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA), contributing to chronic allograft loss. We assessed if inhibition of T-cell activation by N-octanoyl dopamine (NOD) impairs adherence of activated T-cells to endothelial cells and the ability of activated T-cells to produce IFNγ. We also assessed if NOD affects IFNγ mediated gene expression in endothelial cells. The presence of NOD during T-cell activation significantly blunted their adhesion to unstimulated and cytokine stimulated HUVEC. Supernatants of these T-cells displayed significantly lower concentrations of TNFα and IFNγ and were less capable to facilitate T-cell adhesion. In the presence of NOD VLA-4 (CD49d/CD29) and LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18) expression on T-cells was reduced. NOD treatment of IFNγ stimulated HUVEC reduced the expression of MHC class II transactivator (CIITA), of MHC class II and its associated invariant chain CD74. Since IFTA is associated with T-cell mediated rejection and IFNγ to a large extent regulates immunogenicity of allografts, our current data suggest a potential clinical use of NOD in the treatment of transplant recipients. Further in vivo studies are warranted to confirm these in vitro findings and to assess the benefit of NOD on IFTA in clinically relevant models.

N-octanoyl dopamine is superior to dopamine in protecting graft contractile function when administered to the heart transplant recipients from brain-dead donors. Pharmacol Res 2019; 150:104503. [PMID: 31629091 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2019.104503] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2019] [Revised: 10/14/2019] [Accepted: 10/15/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
The major source of heart transplantation comes from brain-dead (BD) donors. However, brain death and myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury during transplantation may lead to cardiac dysfunction and hemodynamic instability. A previous work demonstrated that pre-treatment of BD donors with dopamine improved the graft survival of heart allograft in recipient after transplantation. However, low-dose dopamine treatment might result in tachycardia and hypertension. Our previous experimental study showed that pre-treatment of BD donor rats with the dopamine derivate N-octanoyl dopamine (NOD), devoid of any hemodynamic effects, improved graft function after transplantation. Herein, we hypothesized that NOD confers superior myocardial protection than dopamine, in terms of graft function. Male Lewis donor rats were either subjected to sham-operation or brain death via a subdurally placed balloon followed by 5.5 h monitoring. Then, the hearts were explanted and heterotopically transplanted into Lewis recipient rats. Shortly before the onset of reperfusion, continuous intravenous infusion of either NOD (14.7 μg/kg/min, BD + NOD group, n = 9), dopamine (10 μg/kg/min, BD + Dopamine group, n = 8) or physiological saline vehicle (sham, n = 9 and BD group, n = 9) were administered to the recipient rats. In vivo left-ventricular (LV) graft function was evaluated after 1.5 h reperfusion. Additionally, immunohistochemical detection of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE, an indicator of oxidative stress) and nitrotyrosine (a nitro-oxidative stress marker), was performed. After heart transplantation, systolic and diastolic functions were significantly decreased in the BD group compared to sham. Treatment with NOD but not dopamine, resulted in better LV graft systolic functional recovery (LV systolic pressure BD + NOD 90 ± 8 vs BD + Dopamine 66 ± 5 vs BD 65 ± 4 mmHg; maximum rate of rise of LV pressure dP/dtmax BD + NOD 2686 ± 225 vs BD + Dopamine 2243 ± 70 vs BD 1999 ± 147 mmHg/s, at an intraventricular volume of 140 μl, p < 0.05) and myocardial work compared to BD group. The re-beating time (time to restoration of heartbeat) was significantly shorter in BD + NOD group than that of BD hearts (32 ± 4 s vs. 48 ± 6 s, p < 0.05), Dopamine treatment had no impact on all of these parameters. Furthermore, NOD as well as dopamine decreased HNE and nitrotyrosine immunoreactivity to the same level. NOD is superior to dopamine in terms of protecting LV graft contractile function when administered to the heart transplant recipients from BD donors.

N-octanoyl Dopamine Attenuates the Development of Transplant Vasculopathy in Rat Aortic Allografts Via Smooth Muscle Cell Protective Mechanisms. Transplantation 2016; 100:80-90. [PMID: 26674731 DOI: 10.1097/tp.0000000000000870] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Transplant vasculopathy (TV) is a major cause for late graft loss after cardiac transplantation. Endothelial damage and T cell infiltration play a pivotal role in the development of TV. Because N-octanoyl dopamine (NOD) inhibits vascular inflammation and suppresses T cell activation in vitro, we here tested the hypothesis that NOD treatment ameliorates TV. METHODS Aortic grafts were orthotopically transplanted in the Dark Agouti to Brown Norway strain combination. Recipient rats were treated with NOD or vehicle administered via osmotic minipumps. Histology and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) were performed on nontransplanted aortas and grafts explanted 2 and 4 weeks after transplantation to assess the degree of TV, inflammation, apoptosis, and number of (proliferating) α smooth muscle actin (αSMA) neointimal cells. In vitro analyses of human aortic smooth muscle cells were performed to test the effect of NOD on proliferation (WST-1 assay), cell cycle (flow cytometry and qPCR), and cytokine-induced apoptosis (flow cytometry). RESULTS Allografts from vehicle-treated recipients developed neointimal lesions predominantly consisting of αSMA-expressing cells. NOD treatment significantly reduced neointima formation and neointimal αSMA cells. In situ, smooth muscle cell proliferation (Ki67) was not influenced by NOD. Macrophage (CD68), T (CD3), and Natural Killer (ANK61) cell infiltration as well as intragraft TNFα and IFNγ mRNA expression were similar in both groups. Medial apoptosis (cleaved caspase-3) was significantly reduced by NOD. In vitro, NOD inhibited proliferation of human aortic smooth muscle cells by causing a G1-arrest and protected from TNFα-induced apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS This study identified NOD as potential treatment modality to attenuate TV. Our data clearly support a vasculoprotective effect of NOD by reducing smooth muscle cell proliferation and inflammation-induced apoptosis.

Abstract
Iron has been suggested to affect the clinical course of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) as accompanying increased intracellular iron accumulation may provide an alternative source for reactive oxygen species (ROS). Although carnosine has proven its therapeutic efficacy in rodent models of T2DM, little is known about its efficacy to protect cells from iron toxicity. We sought to assess if high glucose (HG) exposure makes cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) more susceptible to metal induced toxicity and if this is ameliorated by L-carnosine. HUVECs and PTECs, cultured under normal glucose (5 mM, NG) or HG (30 mM), were challenged for 24 h with FeCl3. Cell viability was not impaired under HG conditions nor did HG increase susceptibility to FeCl3. HG did not change the expression of divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1), ferroportin (IREG), and transferrin receptor protein 1 (TFRC). Irrespective of glucose concentrations L-carnosine prevented toxicity in a dose-dependent manner, only if it was present during the FeCl3 challenge. Hence our study indicates that iron induced cytotoxicity is not enhanced under HG conditions. L-Carnosine displayed a strong protective effect, most likely by chelation of iron mediated toxicity.

Abstract
Conjugates of fatty acids with ethanolamine, amino acids or monoamine neurotransmitters occur widely in nature giving rise to so-called endocannabinoids. Anandamide and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol are the best characterized endocannabinoids activating both cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) and transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) channels (anandamide) or activating cannabinoid receptors only (2-arachidonoyl glycerol). TRPV1 is also activated by vanilloids, such as capsaicin, and endogenous neurolipins, e.g. N-arachidonoyl dopamine (NADA) and N-oleoyl dopamine (OLDA). Because donor dopamine treatment has shown to improve transplantation outcome in renal and heart recipients, this review will mainly focus on the biological activities of N-acyl dopamine derivates (NADD) as potential non-hemodynamic alternative for implementation in transplantation medicine. Hence the influence of NADD on transplantation relevant entities, i.e. cold inflicted injury, cytoprotection, I/R-injury, immune-modulation and inflammation will be summarized. The cytoprotective properties of endogenous endocannabinoids in this context will be briefly touched upon.
