protective effects of 15 deoxy δ12 14 prostaglandin j2 against glutamate induced cell death in primary cortical neuron cultures induction of Adaptive Response and enhancement of cell tolerance primarily through up regulation of cellular glutathione
Journal of Neurochemistry, 2007Co-Authors: Yoshiro Saito, Yasukazu Yoshida, Noriko Noguchi, Keiko Nishio, Yumiko Numakawa, Yoko Ogawa, Etsuo NikiAbstract:There is increasing evidence to suggest that reactive oxygen species, including a variety of lipid oxidation products and other physiologically existing oxidative stimuli, can induce an Adaptive Response and enhance cell tolerance. In the present study, by using cultured cortical neurons, we investigated the effect of electrophilic lipids, such as 15-deoxy-Δ12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2) and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) against the cell death induced by H2O2 and glutamate. Pre-treatment with both 15d-PGJ2 and 4-HNE at sublethal concentrations resulted in a significant protective effect against oxidative stress, and 15d-PGJ2, in particular, exhibited a complete protective effect against glutamate-induced neuronal cell death. Pre-treatment with 15d-PGJ2 increased the intracellular glutathione (GSH) as well as the gene expression of glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCL), the rate-limiting enzyme of GSH synthesis. 15d-PGJ2 protected cells from glutamate-induced GSH depletion, while the inhibition of cellular GSH synthesis by buthionine sulfoximine abolished the Adaptive Response induced by 15d-PGJ2. These findings indicate that at low levels, 15d-PGJ2 acts as a potent survival mediator against glutamate-induced insults via the induction of an Adaptive Response primarily through the up-regulation of the intracellular GSH synthesis.

induction of Adaptive Response and enhancement of pc12 cell tolerance by 7 hydroxycholesterol and 15 deoxy δ12 14 prostaglandin j2 through up regulation of cellular glutathione via different mechanisms
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2006Co-Authors: Zhihua Chen, Yasukazu Yoshida, Yoshiro Saito, Azusa Sekine, Noriko Noguchi, Etsuo NikiAbstract:Abstract Increasing evidence suggests an Adaptive Response induced by reactive oxygen species and other physiologically existing oxidative stimuli. We have recently reported that a variety of lipid peroxidation products at sublethal concentrations could induce Adaptive Response and enhance PC12 cell tolerance, although the detailed underlying molecular mechanisms have not been clearly clarified. In the present study, we found that both 7-hydroxycholesterol (7-OHCh) and 15-deoxy-Δ12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2) at sublethal concentrations significantly increased the cellular GSH as well as the enzyme activity of glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCL), the rate-limiting enzyme of GSH synthesis. Depletion of cellular GSH by buthionine sulfoximine completely abolished the Adaptive Response. Interestingly, treatment with 15d-PGJ2 significantly increased the gene expression of both subunits of GCL in an NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-dependent manner, whereas neither 7-OHCh induced any considerable changes on the GCL gene expression nor did the Nrf2-small interfering RNA treatment exert any appreciable effects on the GSH elevation and subsequent Adaptive Response induced by 7-OHCh. These results demonstrate that the Adaptive Response induced by both 7-OHCh and 15d-PGJ2 is mediated similarly through the up-regulation of GSH but via different mechanisms.

4 hydroxynonenal induces Adaptive Response and enhances pc12 cell tolerance primarily through induction of thioredoxin reductase 1 via activation of nrf2
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005Co-Authors: Zhihua Chen, Yasukazu Yoshida, Yoshiro Saito, Azusa Sekine, Noriko Noguchi, Etsuo NikiAbstract:4-Hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) is one of the major end products of lipid peroxidation. It has been widely accepted that 4-HNE can induce oxidative stress, implicating into extensive stress-related diseases. In the present study, however, 4-HNE was found to exert Adaptive cytoprotective effect at low concentrations, which was primarily through induction of thioredoxin reductase 1 (TR1) via transcriptional activation of NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2). Pretreatment with 4-HNE at sublethal concentrations significantly protected PC12 cells against the subsequent oxidative cell death induced by H2O2 and 6-hydroxydopamine. The cellular antioxidative glutathione system did not show any considerable changes, whereas the TR1 activity as well as the mRNA level was significantly elevated by the 4-HNE treatment. Cells treated with TR1 small interfering RNA exhibited less resistance to oxidative stress, and the Adaptive Response was completely abolished. The Nrf2 was transcriptionally activated by 4-HNE. Cells treated with Nrf2-small interfering RNA exerted lower constitutive levels of TR1 and exhibited less resistance to oxidative stress, and the 4-HNE-induced TR1 expression and subsequent Adaptive Response were again abolished in such cells. Treatment with 4-HNE at the Adaptive concentration induced transient activation of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 1/2 and Akt/protein kinase B. Pharmacological inhibition of both these kinase pathways effectively attenuated 4-HNE-induced TR1 expression and subsequent Adaptive protection. The above findings, taken together, suggest that stimulation with 4-HNE at sublethal concentrations induces Adaptive Response and enhances cell tolerance, primarily through induction of TR1 via transcriptional activation of Nrf2 signaling pathway, thereby protecting cells against the forthcoming oxidative stress.

the predictive Adaptive Response modeling the life history evolution of the butterfly bicyclus anynana in seasonal environments
The American Naturalist, 2013Co-Authors: Joost Van Den Heuvel, Marjo Saastamoinen, Bas J Zwaan, Thomas B. L. Kirkwood, Paul M. Brakefield, Daryl P ShanleyAbstract:Abstract A predictive Adaptive Response (PAR) is a type of developmental plasticity where the Response to an environmental cue is not immediately advantageous but instead is later in life. The PAR is a way for organisms to maximize fitness in varying environments. Insects living in seasonal environments are valuable model systems for testing the existence and form of PAR. Previous manipulations of the larval and the adult environments of the butterfly Bicyclus anynana have shown that individuals that were food restricted during the larval stage coped better with forced flight during the adult stage compared to those with optimal conditions in the larval stage. Here, we describe a state-dependent energy allocation model, which we use to test whether such a Response to food restriction could be Adaptive in nature where this butterfly exhibits seasonal cycles. The results from the model confirm the Responses obtained in our previous experimental work and show how such an outcome was facilitated by resource a...

The predictive Adaptive Response: modeling the life-history evolution of the butterfly Bicyclus anynana in seasonal environments.

Here, we describe a state-dependent energy allocation model, which we use to test whether such a Response to food restriction could be Adaptive in nature where this butterfly exhibits seasonal cycles. The results from the model confirm the Responses obtained in our previous experimental work and show how such an outcome was facilitated by resource allocation patterns to the thorax during the pupal stage. We conclude that for B. anynana, early-stage cues can direct development toward a better adapted phenotype later in life and, therefore, that a PAR has evolved in this species.
