Intermedin inhibits unilateral ureteral obstruction-induced oxidative stress via NADPH oxidase Nox4 and cAMP-dependent mechanisms.
NADPH oxidase Nox4-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) play important roles in renal fibrosis. Our previous study demonstrated that intermedin (IMD) alleviated unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO)-induced renal fibrosis by inhibition of ROS. However, the precise mechanisms remain unclear. Herein, we investigated the effect of IMD on Nox4 expression and NADPH oxidase activity in rat UUO model, and explored if these effect were achieved through cAMP-PKA pathway, the important post-receptor signal transduction pathway of IMD, in TGF-β1-stimulated rat proximal tubular cell (NRK-52E). Renal fibrosis was induced by UUO. NRK-52E was exposed to rhTGF-β1 to establish an in vitro model of fibrosis. IMD was overexpressed in the kidney and in NRK-52E by IMD gene transfer. We studied UUO-induced ROS by measuring dihydroethidium levels and lipid peroxidation end-product 4-hydroxynonenal expression. Nox4 expression in the obstructed kidney of UUO rat or in TGF-β1-stimulated NRK-52E was measured by quantitative RT-PCR and Western blotting. We analyzed NADPH oxidase activity using a lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence system. We showed that UUO-stimulated ROS production was remarkably attenuated by IMD gene transfer. IMD overexpression inhibited UUO-induced up-regulation of Nox4 and activation of NADPH oxidase. Consistent with in vivo results, TGF-β1-stimulated increase in Nox4 expression and NADPH oxidase activity was blocked by IMD. In NRK-52E, these beneficial effects of IMD were abolished by pretreatment with N-[2-(p-bromocinnamylamino)ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide hydrochloride (H-89), a PKA inhibitor, and mimicked by a cell-permeable cAMP analog dibutyl-cAMP. Our results indicate that IMD exerts anti-oxidant effects by inhibition of Nox4, and the effect can be mediated by cAMP-PKA pathway.

Constitutive levels of cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity determine sensitivity of human multidrug-resistant leukaemic cell lines to growth inhibition and apoptosis by forskolin and tumour necrosis factor alpha.
The cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase (PKA) signal pathway regulates cell proliferation, differentiation and cell death. It may also regulate the multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype in leukaemic cells. These data showed that MDR1+ K/Dau600 cells exhibited a higher basal level of PKA activity than MDR- parental cells. The significance of this on tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha)-induced apoptosis and cytostasis was investigated further. In comparison with MDR1- parental cells, K/Dau600 cells had a higher expression of PKA regulatory subunit RIalpha and nuclear catalytic subunit PKAcalpha. They were also more susceptible to inhibition of proliferation and induction of apoptosis by TNFalpha and/or forskolin, but this could be attenuated by H89. An increase in cAMP was associated with the apoptosis in the K/Dau600 cell line. Forskolin inactivated NF-kappaB in K/Dau600 cells but not in K562 cl. 6 cells, whereas TNF activated NF-kappaB in K562 cl.6 cells but not in K/Dau600 cells. 8-Cl-cAMP exhibited similar inhibitory effects on the proliferation of all of the cell lines used via its metabolite 8-Cl-adenosine, which indicates that these effects were independent of residual PKA or cAMP. Therefore, the differential sensitivity to apoptosis and/or growth inhibition could be mediated via cAMP, partly through PKA via NF-kappaB and partly by PKA-independent pathways.

Cyclic AMP-induced differentiation increases the synthesis of extracellular superoxide dismutase in rat C6 glioma.
The effect of membrane permeable cAMP analogues on the expression of extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) was studied in rat C6 glioma. EC-SOD is constitutively expressed but stimulation with cAMP analogues still increased the EC-SOD transcription and the secreted SOD activity. The potency to enhance EC-SOD expression is correlated with the ability of the cAMP analogue to induce cAMP-dependent differentiation in C6. The increase in EC-SOD mRNA and in secreted activity depended on the concentration of the cAMP analogues and on the cultivation time. Twenty-four hours after addition of 0.5 mM N6, O'2-dibutyryl cAMP (dbcAMP) or N6-monobutyryl cAMP (N6-mbcAMP) EC-SOD mRNA expression increased approximately twofold, while stimulation for 68 h with 0.5 mM N6-mbcAMP or 1 mM 8-Chloro cAMP (ClcAMP) and 1 mM dbcAMP enhanced the mean secreted activity/cell three- and fivefold, respectively. O'2-monobutyryl cAMP (O'2-mbcAMP) did not affect EC-SOD synthesis. The enhancement in EC-SOD activity did not require activation of protein kinase A. ATP, TGF-beta, IFN-gamma, and LPS did not affect EC-SOD synthesis. The presented data point to a cAMP-dependent pathway for the enhanced expression of EC-SOD by glial cells in brain.
