ABSTRACTInflammation plays an important role in pathologic angiogenesis. Receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1) is highly expressed in inflammatory cells and is known to play an important role in the regulation of apoptosis, necroptosis, and inflammation, however its role in angiogenesis remains elusive. Here, we show that RIP1 is abundantly expressed in infiltrating macrophages during angiogenesis, and genetic or pharmacological inhibition of RIP1 kinase activity using kinase-inactive RIP1K45A/K45Amice or necrostatin-1 attenuates angiogenesis in laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV), Matrigel plug angiogenesis, and alkali injury-induced corneal neovascularization in mice. The inhibitory effect on angiogenesis was mediated by caspase activation through a kinase-independent function of RIP1 and RIP3, and simultaneous caspase inhibition with RIP1 kinase inhibition abrogated the effects of RIP1 kinase inhibition on angiogenesisin vivo. Mechanistically, infiltrating macrophages are the key target for RIP1 kinase inhibition to attenuate pathological angiogenesis, and we observed that the inhibition of RIP1 kinase activity is associated with caspase activation in infiltrating macrophages and decreased expression of pro-angiogenic M2-like markers while M1 marker expressions were sustained. Similarly,in vitro, catalytic inhibition of RIP1 down-regulated M2 marker expressions in IL-4-activated bone marrow-derived macrophages, which was blocked by simultaneous caspase inhibition. Taken together, these results suggest a novel, non-necrotic function of RIP1 kinase activity and suggest that RIP1-mediated modulation of macrophage activation may represent a therapeutic target for the control of angiogenesis-related diseases.SignificancePathological angiogenesis has been implicated in diverse pathologies. Infiltrating macrophages, especially those activated to M2-like phenotype are critically important to support angiogenesis. Whereas the role of RIP1 kinase in the regulation of apoptosis, necroptosis, and inflammation have been well established, its role in angiogenesis remains elusive despite being abundantly expressed in angiogenesis-related infiltrating macrophages. This study demonstrated for the first time that RIP1 kinase inhibition attenuates angiogenesis in multiple mouse models of pathological angiogenesisin vivo. Mechanistically, the inhibitory effect on angiogenesis depends on RIP kinase inhibition-mediated caspase activation in infiltrating macrophages that suppresses M2-like polarization, thereby attenuating pathological angiogenesis.

Inflammation plays an important role in pathological angiogenesis. Receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1) is highly expressed in inflammatory cells and is known to play an important role in the regulation of apoptosis, necroptosis, and inflammation; however, a comprehensive description of its role in angiogenesis remains elusive. Here, we show that RIP1 is abundantly expressed in infiltrating macrophages during angiogenesis, and genetic or pharmacological inhibition of RIP1 kinase activity using kinase-inactive RIP1K45A/K45A mice or necrostatin-1 attenuates angiogenesis in laser-induced choroidal neovascularization, Matrigel plug angiogenesis, and alkali injury-induced corneal neovascularization in mice. The inhibitory effect on angiogenesis is mediated by caspase activation through a kinase-independent function of RIP1 and RIP3. Mechanistically, infiltrating macrophages are the key target of RIP1 kinase inhibition to attenuate pathological angiogenesis. Inhibition of RIP1 kinase activity is associated with caspase activation in infiltrating macrophages and decreased expression of proangiogenic M2-like markers but not M1-like markers. Similarly, in vitro, catalytic inhibition of RIP1 down-regulates the expression of M2-like markers in interleukin-4–activated bone marrow-derived macrophages, and this effect is blocked by simultaneous caspase inhibition. Collectively, these results demonstrate a nonnecrotic function of RIP1 kinase activity and suggest that RIP1-mediated modulation of macrophage activation may be a therapeutic target of pathological angiogenesis.

Lymphatic failure is a histopathological feature of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Recent studies show that interaction between platelets and podoplanin on lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) suppresses lymphangiogenesis. We aimed to investigate the role of platelets in the inflammatory process of colitis, which is likely to be through modulation of lymphangiogenesis. Lymphangiogenesis in colonic mucosal specimens from patients with IBD was investigated by studying mRNA expression of lymphangiogenic factors and histologically by examining lymphatic vessel (LV) densities. Involvement of lymphangiogenesis in intestinal inflammation was studied by administering VEGF-receptor 3 (VEGF-R3) inhibitors to the mouse model of colitis using dextran sulfate sodium and evaluating platelet migration to LVs. The inhibitory effect of platelets on lymphangiogenesis was investigated in vivo by administering antiplatelet antibody to the colitis mouse model and in vitro by coculturing platelets with lymphatic endothelial cells. Although mRNA expressions of lymphangiogenic factors such as VEGF-R3 and podoplanin were significantly increased in the inflamed mucosa of patients with IBD compared with those with quiescent mucosa, there was no difference in LV density between them. In the colitis model, VEGF-R3 inhibition resulted in aggravated colitis, decreased lymphatic density, and increased platelet migration to LVs. Administration of an antiplatelet antibody increased LV densities and significantly ameliorated colitis. Coculture with platelets inhibited proliferation of LECs in vitro. Our data suggest that despite elevated lymphangiogenic factors during colonic inflammation, platelet migration to LVs resulted in suppressed lymphangiogenesis, leading to aggravation of colitis by blocking the clearance of inflammatory cells. Modulating the interaction between platelets and LVs could be a new therapeutic means for treating IBD.

Background: Tripterine (TRI), an active monomer in Tripterygium wilfordii, has significant pharmacological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive and anti-tumor activities. TRI may be used to treat allergic diseases because of its characteristics of immunosuppression. Objective: This study aims to explore the anti-allergic effect of TRI. Methods: It was tested in vivo and in vitro in this study. Results : The results showed that TRI could significantly inhibit histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells; the inhibitory effect of TRI on histamine release was stronger than that of other known histamine inhibitors such as disodium cromoglyceride. TRI also significantly inhibited systemic anaphylactic shock induced by compound 48/80 and skin allergy induced by IgE, and inhibited the expression of inflammatory factors secreted by Human Mast Cells (HMC-1) induced by Phorbol 12-Myristate 13- Acetate (PMA) and calcium carrier A23187. In the animal model of allergic rhinitis induced by Ovalbumin (OA), the scores of friction, histamine, IgE, inflammatory factors and inflammatory cells decreased after TRI was administered orally or nasally. Conclusions : TRI, as an active immunoregulatory factor, has great potential in the treatment of mast cell-mediated allergic diseases.

Barbituric Acid Derivatives

SummarySodium pentobarbital (SPB) and three other barbituric acid derivatives were found to inhibit platelet function in vitro. SPB had no effect on the primary response to ADP of platelets in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or washed platelets but inhibited secondary aggregation induced by ADP in human PRP. The drug inhibited both phases of aggregation induced by epinephrine. SPB suppressed aggregation and the release reaction induced by collagen or low concentrations of thrombin, and platelet adherence to collagen-coated glass tubes. The inhibition by SPB of platelet aggregation was readily reversible and isotopically labeled SPB did not become firmly bound to platelets. No inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation induced by ADP, collagen, or thrombin could be detected in PRP obtained from rabbits after induction of SPB-anesthesia.

SummaryThe differences among human, rabbit and guinea-pig platelet adhesiveness as for inhibitions by adenosine, dipyridamole, chlorpromazine and acetylsalicylic acid are described, and the influence of measurement conditions on platelet adhesiveness is also reported. Platelet adhesiveness of human and animal species decreased with an increase of heparin concentrations and an increase of flow rate of blood passing through a glass bead column. Human and rabbit platelet adhesiveness was inhibited in vitro by adenosine, dipyridamole and chlorpromazine, but not by acetylsalicylic acid. On the other hand, guinea-pig platelet adhesiveness was inhibited by the four drugs including acetylsalicylic acid. In in vivo study, adenosine, dipyridamole and chlorpromazine inhibited platelet adhesiveness in rabbits and guinea-pigs. Acetylsalicylic acid showed the inhibitory effect in guinea-pigs, but not in rabbits.

Deep Tissue Injury

Background: Chronic inflammation and lack of angiogenesis are the important pathological mechanisms in deep tissue injury (DTI). Curcumin is a well-known anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent. However, curcumin is unstable under acidic and alkaline conditions, and can be rapidly metabolized and excreted in the bile, which shortens its bioactivity and efficacy. Objective: This study aimed to prepare curcumin-loaded poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles (CPNPs) and to elucidate the protective effects and underlying mechanisms of wound healing in DTI models. Methods: CPNPs were evaluated for particle size, biocompatibility, in vitro drug release and their effect on in vivo wound healing. Results : The results of in vivo wound closure analysis revealed that CPNP treatments significantly improved wound contraction rates (p<0.01) at a faster rate than other three treatment groups. H&E staining revealed that CPNP treatments resulted in complete epithelialization and thick granulation tissue formation, whereas control groups resulted in a lack of compact epithelialization and persistence of inflammatory cells within the wound sites. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis showed that treatment with CPNPs suppressed IL-6 and TNF-α mRNA expression, and up-regulated TGF-β, VEGF-A and IL-10 mRNA expression. Western blot analysis showed up-regulated protein expression of TGF-β, VEGF-A and phosphorylatedSTAT3. Conclusion: Our results showed that CPNPs enhanced wound healing in DTI models, through modulation of the JAK2/STAT3 signalling pathway and subsequent upregulation of pro-healing factors.
