Excessive inflammation in bovine mammary endothelial cells (BMEC) due to mastitis leads to disease progression and eventual culling of cattle. Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), a mitochondrial deacetylase, downregulates pro-inflammatory cytokines in BMEC exposed to high concentrations of nonesterified fatty acids by blunting nuclear factor-κB (NFκB) signaling. In nonruminants, SIRT3 is under the control of PGC1α, a transcriptional cofactor. Specific aims were to study (1) the effect of SIRT3 on inflammatory responses of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged bovine mammary epithelial cells (bovine mammary alveolar cells-T, MAC-T) models, and (2) the role of PGC1α in the attenuation of NFκB signaling via SIRT3. To address these objectives, first, MAC-T cells were incubated in triplicate with 0, 50, 100, 150, or 200 μg/mL LPS (derived from Escherichia coli O55:B5) for 12 h with or without a 2-h incubation of the NFκB inhibitor ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC, 10 μM). Second, SIRT3 was overexpressed using adenoviral expression (Ad-SIRT3) at different multiplicity of infection (MOI) for 6 h followed by a 12 h incubation with 150 μg/mL LPS. Third, cells were treated with the PGC1α agonist ZLN005 (10 μg/mL) for 24 h and then challenged with 150 μg/mL LPS for 12 h. Fourth, cells were initially treated with the PGC1α inhibitor SR-18292 (100 μM) for 6 h followed by a 6-h culture with or without 50 MOI Ad-SIRT3 and a challenge with 150 μg/mL LPS for 12 h. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA with subsequent Bonferroni correction. Linear and quadratic contrasts were used to determine dose-responses to LPS. There were linear and quadratic effects of LPS dosage on cell viability. Incubation with 150 and 200 μg/mL LPS for 12 h decreased cell viability to 78.6 and 34.9%, respectively. Compared with controls, expression of IL1B, IL6, and TNFA was upregulated by 5.2-, 5.9-, and 2.7-fold with 150 μg/mL LPS; concentrations of IL-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in cell medium also increased. Compared with the LPS group, LPS+APDC increased cell viability and reversed the upregulation of IL1B, IL6, and TNFA expression. However, mRNA and protein abundance of SIRT3 decreased linearly with increasing LPS dose. Ad-SIRT3 infection (50 MOI) reduced IL1B, IL6, and TNFA expression and also their concentrations in cell medium, and decreased pNFκB P65/NFκB P65 ratio and nuclear abundance of NFκB P65. The PGC1α agonist increased SIRT3 expression, whereas it decreased cytokine expression, pNFκB P65/NFκB P65 ratio, and prevented NFκB P65 nuclear translocation. Contrary to the agonist, the PGC1α inhibitor had opposite effects, and elevated the concentrations of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in cell medium. Overall, data suggested that SIRT3 activity could attenuate LPS-induced inflammatory responses in mammary cells via alterations in the PGC1α-NFκB pathway. As such, there may be potential benefits for targeting SIRT3 in vivo to help prevent or alleviate negative effects of mastitis.
由于乳腺炎导致牛乳腺内皮细胞(BMEC)过度炎症,导致疾病进展和最终淘汰牛。Sirtuin 3(SIRT3)是一种线粒体脱乙酰酶,通过使核因子-κB(NFκB)信号失活,下调暴露于高浓度非酯化脂肪酸的 BMEC 中的促炎细胞因子。在非反刍动物中,SIRT3 受 PGC1α 的控制,PGC1α 是一种转录共因子。具体目标是研究(1)SIRT3 对脂多糖(LPS)刺激的牛乳腺上皮细胞(牛乳腺肺泡细胞-T,MAC-T)模型炎症反应的影响,和(2)PGC1α 通过 SIRT3 衰减 NFκB 信号的作用。为了实现这些目标,首先,将 MAC-T 细胞在三复孔中分别与 0、50、100、150 或 200 μg/mL LPS(源自大肠杆菌 O55:B5)孵育 12 小时,同时或不使用 NFκB 抑制剂铵吡啶二硫代氨基甲酸盐(APDC,10 μM)孵育 2 小时。其次,使用腺病毒表达(Ad-SIRT3)以不同的感染复数(MOI)将 SIRT3 过表达 6 小时,然后用 150 μg/mL LPS 孵育 12 小时。第三,用 PGC1α 激动剂 ZLN005(10 μg/mL)处理细胞 24 小时,然后用 150 μg/mL LPS 刺激 12 小时。第四,细胞最初用 PGC1α 抑制剂 SR-18292(100 μM)处理 6 小时,然后用或不用 50 MOI Ad-SIRT3 培养 6 小时,并在 150 μg/mL LPS 刺激 12 小时。使用单因素方差分析和随后的 Bonferroni 校正分析数据。使用线性和二次对比来确定 LPS 的剂量反应。LPS 剂量对细胞活力有线性和二次影响。孵育 150 和 200 μg/mL LPS 12 小时,细胞活力分别降至 78.6%和 34.9%。与对照组相比,用 150 μg/mL LPS 处理后,IL1B、IL6 和 TNFA 的表达分别上调了 5.2、5.9 和 2.7 倍;细胞培养基中 IL-1β、IL-6 和肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)的浓度也增加了。与 LPS 组相比,LPS+APDC 增加了细胞活力并逆转了 IL1B、IL6 和 TNFA 表达的上调。然而,随着 LPS 剂量的增加,SIRT3 的 mRNA 和蛋白丰度呈线性下降。Ad-SIRT3 感染(50 MOI)降低了 IL1B、IL6 和 TNFA 的表达及其在细胞培养基中的浓度,并降低了 pNFκB P65/NFκB P65 比值和 NFκB P65 的核丰度。PGC1α 激动剂增加了 SIRT3 的表达,同时降低了细胞因子的表达、pNFκB P65/NFκB P65 比值,并阻止了 NFκB P65 的核转位。与激动剂相反,PGC1α 抑制剂具有相反的作用,并提高了细胞培养基中 IL-1β、IL-6 和 TNF-α 的浓度。总体而言,数据表明,SIRT3 活性可以通过改变 PGC1α-NFκB 途径来减轻乳腺炎引起的乳腺细胞炎症反应。因此,在体内靶向 SIRT3 可能有助于预防或减轻乳腺炎的负面影响。
