T1  - Enhancement of Toll-like receptor3 (TLR3)-induced death signaling by TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK)
T1  - Verstärkung der Toll-like receptor3 (TLR3)-induzierten Todessignalisierung durch TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK)
N2  - Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) is a member of the TNF superfamily (TNFSF) and is as such initially expressed as type II class transmembrane glycoprotein from which a soluble ligand form can be released by proteolytic processing. While the expression of TWEAK has been detected at the mRNA level in various cell lines and cell types, its cell surface expression has so far only been documented for dendritic cells, monocytes and interferon-γ stimulated NK cells. The fibroblast growth factor-inducible-14 (Fn14) is a TRAF2-interacting receptor of the TNF receptor superfamily (TNFRSF) and is the only receptor for TWEAK. The expression of Fn14 is strongly induced in a variety of non-hematopoietic cell types after tissue injury. The TWEAK/Fn14 system induces pleiotropic cellular activities such as induction of proinflammatory genes, stimulation of cellular angiogenesis, proliferation, differentiation, migration and in rare cases induction of apoptosis. On the other side, Toll-like receptor3 (TLR3) is one of DNA- and RNA-sensing pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), plays a crucial role in the first line of defense against virus and invading foreign pathogens and cancer cells. Polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid poly(I:C) is a synthetic analog of dsRNA, binds to TLR3 which acts through the adapter TRIF/TICAM1, leading to cytokine secretion, NF-B activation, IRF3 nuclear translocation, inflammatory response and may also elicit the cell death. TWEAK sensitizes cells for TNFR1-induced apoptosis and necroptosis by limiting the availability of protective TRAF2-cIAP1 and TRAF2-cIAP2 complexes, which interact with the TNFR1-binding proteins TRADD and RIPK1. In accordance with the fact that poly(I:C)-induced signaling also involves these proteins, we found enhanced necroptosis-induction in HaCaT and HeLa-RIPK3 by poly(I:C) in the presence of TWEAK (Figure 24). Analysis of a panel of TRADD, FADD, RIPK1 and caspase-8 knockout cells revealed furthermore similarities and differences in the way how these molecules act in cell death signaling by poly(I:C)/TWEAK and TNF and TRAIL. RIPK1 turned out to be essential for poly(I:C)/TWEAK-induced caspase-8-mediated apoptosis but was dispensable for these responses in TNF and TRAIL signaling. Lack of FADD protein abrogated TRAIL- but not TNF- and poly(I:C)-induced necroptosis. Moreover, we observed that both long and short FLIP rescued HaCaT and HeLa-RIPK3 cells from poly(I:C)-induced apoptosis or necroptosis.
To sum up, our results demonstrate that TWEAK, which is produced by interferon stimulated myeloid cells, controls the induction of apoptosis and necroptosis by the TLR3 ligand poly(I:C) and may thus contribute to cancer or anti-viral immunity treatment.
N2  - Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) ist ein Mitglied der TNF-Superfamilie (TNFSF) und wird als solches anfänglich als Transmembranglykoprotein der Klasse II exprimiert, aus dem eine lösliche Ligandenform durch proteolytische Prozessierung freigesetzt werden kann. Während die Expression von TWEAK auf mRNA-Ebene in verschiedenen Zelllinien und Zelltypen nachgewiesen wurde, konnte ihre Zelloberflächenexpression bisher nur für dendritische Zellen, Monozyten und Interferon-γ-stimulierte NK-Zellen dokumentiert werden.  Fibroblast growth factor-inducible-14 (Fn14) ist ein TRAF2-wechselwirkender Rezeptor der TNF-Rezeptor-Superfamilie (TNFRSF) und der einzige Rezeptor für TWEAK. Die Expression von Fn14 wird nach Gewebeverletzung in einer Vielzahl von nicht hämatopoetischen Zelltypen stark induziert. Das TWEAK / Fn14-System induziert pleiotrope zelluläre Aktivitäten, die von der proinflammatorischen Geninduktion über die Stimulierung der Angiogenese, Proliferation und Zelldifferenzierung bis hin zur Zellmigration und in seltenen Fällen zur Induktion von Apoptose reichen. Auf der anderen Seite spielt der Toll-like Rezeptor3 (TLR3), einer der DNA- and RNA-sensing pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), eine entscheidende Rolle in der ersten Verteidigungslinie gegen Viren und eindringende fremde Krankheitserreger und Krebszellen. Polyinosin-Polycytidylsäure-Poly (I: C) ist ein synthetisches Analogon von dsRNA, das an TLR3 bindet, das über den Adapter TRIF / TICAM1 wirkt und zu Zytokinsekretion, NF-B-Aktivierung, IRF3-Kerntranslokation und Entzündungsreaktion führt der Zelltod.
TWEAK sensibilisiert Zellen für TNFR1-induzierte Apoptose und Nekroptose, indem es die Verfügbarkeit von schützenden TRAF2-cIAP1- und TRAF2-cIAP2-Komplexen begrenzt, die mit den TNFR1-bindenden Proteinen TRADD und RIPK1 interagieren. Entsprechend der Tatsache, dass diese Proteine auch von Poly (I: C) induziert werden, fanden wir eine verstärkte Nekroptose-Induktion in HaCaT und HeLa-RIPK3 durch Poly (I: C) in Gegenwart von TWEAK (Figure 24). Die Analyse eines Panels von TRADD-, FADD-, RIPK1- und Caspase-8-Knockout-Zellen ergab außerdem Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiede in der Art und Weise, wie diese Moleküle bei der Zelltodsignalisierung durch Poly (I: C) / TWEAK und TNF und TRAIL wirken. RIPK1 erwies sich als essentiell für die Poly (I: C) / TWEAK-induzierte Caspase-8-vermittelte Apoptose, war jedoch für diese Reaktionen bei TNF- und TRAIL-Signalen entbehrlich. Das Fehlen von FADD-Protein hob TRAIL-, aber nicht TNF- und Poly (I: C) -induzierte Nekroptose auf. Darüber hinaus beobachteten wir, dass sowohl langes als auch kurzes FLIP HaCaT- und HeLa-RIPK3-Zellen vor Poly (I: C) -induzierter Apoptose oder Nekroptose retteten.
Zusammenfassend zeigen unsere Ergebnisse, dass TWEAK, das von Interferon-stimulierten myeloischen Zellen produziert wird, die Induktion von Apoptose und Nekroptose durch den TLR3-Liganden Poly(I: C) steuert und somit zur Krebsbehandlung oder antiviralen Immunität beitragen kann.

T1  - Bioactive brominated oxindole alkaloids from the Red Sea sponge Callyspongia siphonella
JF  - Marine Drugs
N2  - In the present study, LC-HRESIMS-assisted dereplication along with bioactivity-guided isolation led to targeting two brominated oxindole alkaloids (compounds 1 and 2) which probably play a key role in the previously reported antibacterial, antibiofilm, and cytotoxicity of Callyspongia siphonella crude extracts. Both metabolites showed potent antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) = 8 and 4 µg/mL) and Bacillus subtilis (MIC = 16 and 4 µg/mL), respectively. Furthermore, they displayed moderate biofilm inhibitory activity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (49.32% and 41.76% inhibition, respectively), and moderate in vitro antitrypanosomal activity (13.47 and 10.27 µM, respectively). In addition, they revealed a strong cytotoxic effect toward different human cancer cell lines, supposedly through induction of necrosis. This study sheds light on the possible role of these metabolites (compounds 1 and 2) in keeping fouling organisms away from the sponge outer surface, and the possible applications of these defensive molecules in the development of new anti-infective agents.

T1  - Design, Synthesis, and Anticancer Screening for Repurposed Pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine Derivatives on Four Mammalian Cancer Cell Lines
JF  - Molecules
N2  - The present study reports the synthesis of new purine bioisosteres comprising a pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine scaffold linked to mono-, di-, and trimethoxy benzylidene moieties through hydrazine linkages. First, in silico docking experiments of the synthesized compounds against Bax, Bcl-2, Caspase-3, Ki67, p21, and p53 were performed in a trial to rationalize the observed cytotoxic activity for the tested compounds. The anticancer activity of these compounds was evaluated in vitro against Caco-2, A549, HT1080, and Hela cell lines. Results revealed that two (5 and 7) of the three synthesized compounds (5, 6, and 7) showed high cytotoxic activity against all tested cell lines with IC50 values in the micro molar concentration. Our in vitro results show that there is no significant apoptotic effect for the treatment with the experimental compounds on the viability of cells against A549 cells. Ki67 expression was found to decrease significantly following the treatment of cells with the most promising candidate: drug 7. The overall results indicate that these pyrazolopyrimidine derivatives possess anticancer activity at varying doses. The suggested mechanism of action involves the inhibition of the proliferation of cancer cells.
