<p class="Abstract">A drimane type sesquiterpenoids, sulphureuine B was isolated from the edible mushroom <em>Laetiporus sulphureus</em> and its antiproliferative properties were investigated using U-87MG glioma cells. It was observed that sulphu-reuine B-induced apoptosis in U-87MG cells and the mechanisms involved are endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial and death receptor mediated pathways. Endoplasmic reticulum stress was identified from the results of enormous cytoplasmic vacuolation, CHOP elevation and caspase-12 cleavage. Further, we found that treatment of sulphureuine B-induced PERK, IRE1α, and ATF6α activations. In addition, sulphureuine B-induced Bcl-2 down-regulation, cleavage of PARP, and caspase-8 activation were also affected. All these experimental results clearly revealed that sulphureuine B-induced apoptosis mediated through endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial, and death receptor signaling pathways.</p><p> </p>

Obesity has developed into a considerable health problem in the whole world. Escherichia coli (E. coli) can cause nosocomial pneumonia and induce cell apoptosis during injury and infection. Normal (lean) and diet-induced obesity mice (DIO, fed with high-fat diet) were chosen to perform nasal instillation with E. coli to establish a nonfatal acute pneumonia model. At 0 h, 12 h, 24 h, and 72 h postinfection, lung tissues were obtained to measure cell apoptosis. As shown in this study, both lean and DIO mice exhibited histopathological lesions of acute pneumonia and increased cell apoptosis in the lung infected with E. coli. Interestingly, the relative mRNA and protein expressions associated with either endoplasmic reticulum stress or death receptor apoptotic pathway were all dramatically increased in the DIO mice after infection, while only significant upregulation of death receptor apoptotic pathway in the lean mice at 72 h. These results indicated that the DIO mice executed excess cell apoptosis in the nonfatal acute pneumonia induced by E. coli infection through endoplasmic reticulum stress and death receptor apoptotic pathway.

Polycystic kidney diseases (PKDs) are genetic diseases characterized by renal cyst formation with increased cell proliferation, apoptosis, and transition to a secretory phenotype at the expense of terminal differentiation. Despite recent progress in understanding PKD pathogenesis and the emergence of potential therapies, the key molecular mechanisms promoting cystogenesis are not well understood. Here, we demonstrate that mechanisms including endoplasmic reticulum stress, oxidative damage, and compromised mitochondrial function all contribute to nephronophthisis-associated PKD. Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is emerging as a critical mediator of these cellular processes. Therefore, we reasoned that pharmacological targeting of CaMKII may translate into effective inhibition of PKD in jck mice. Our data demonstrate that CaMKII is activated within cystic kidney epithelia in jck mice. Blockade of CaMKII with a selective inhibitor results in effective inhibition of PKD in jck mice. Mechanistic experiments in vitro and in vivo demonstrated that CaMKII inhibition relieves endoplasmic reticulum stress and oxidative damage and improves mitochondrial integrity and membrane potential. Taken together, our data support CaMKII inhibition as a new and effective therapeutic avenue for the treatment of cystic diseases.
