Inhibition of platelet activation suppresses reactive enteric glia and mitigates intestinal barrier dysfunction during sepsis
CONCLUSIONS: The inhibition of platelet activation is related to the suppression of CD40L-CD40-TRAF6 signaling pathway and the reduction of EGCs activation, which promotes intestinal barrier function and survival in sepsis mice. These results might provide a potential therapeutic strategy and a promising target for sepsis.PMID:36401163 | PMC:PMC9673322 | DOI:10.1186/s10020-022-00562-w

Cilostazol inhibits interleukin-1-induced ADAM17 expression through cAMP independent signaling in vascular smooth muscle cells.
Abstract Increased a disintegrin and metalloprotease 17 (ADAM17) expression in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) is implicated in the development of cardiovascular diseases including atherosclerosis and hypertension. Although cilostazol, type phosphodiesterase (PDE?) inhibitor, has recently been found to inhibit VSMC proliferation, the mechanisms remain largely unclear. Here we hypothesized that cilostazol regulates the ADAM17 expression in VSMC. In cultured VSMC, interleukin (IL)-1α and IL-1β significantly increased ADAM17 expression. MEK inhibitor U0126, NF-κB inhibitor BAY-11-7085 and siRNA targeting p65/R...

Cilostazol attenuates murine hepatic ischemia and reperfusion injury via heme oxygenase-dependent activation of mitochondrial biogenesis
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) can cause hepatocellular injury associated with the inflammatory response and mitochondrial dysfunction. We studied the protective effects of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor cilostazol in hepatic I/R and the roles of mitochondria and the Nrf2/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) system. Wild-type, Hmox1–/–, or Nrf2–/– mice were subjected to hepatic I/R in the absence or presence of cilostazol followed by measurements of liver injury. Primary hepatocytes were subjected to cilostazol with the HO-1 inhibitor ZnPP, or Nrf2-specific siRNA, followed by assessment of mitochondrial bio...

Cilostazol Attenuates Murine Hepatic Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury via Heme Oxygenase-Dependent Activation of Mitochondrial Biogenesis.
Abstract Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) can cause hepatocellular injury associated with the inflammatory response and mitochondrial dysfunction. We studied the protective effects of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor cilostazol in hepatic I/R, and the roles of mitochondria, and the Nrf2/ heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) system. Wild type, Hmox1(-/-) or Nrf2(-/-) mice were subjected to hepatic I/R in the absence or presence of cilostazol followed by measurements of liver injury. HepG2 cells were subjected to cilostazol with the HO-1 inhibitor ZnPP, or Nrf2 specific siRNA, followed by assessment of mitochondrial biogenesis....

Induction of heme oxygenase‑1 expression protects articular chondrocytes against cilostazol‑induced cellular senescence.
Abstract Chondrocyte senescence is associated with the aging and degeneration of cartilage, and eventually leads to joint destruction. The aim of this study was to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for the cytoprotective effects of heme oxygenase‑1 (HO‑1) on chondrocytes in cartilage. Chondrocyte senescence was induced using cilostazol and measured using a specific senescence‑associated β‑galactosidase (SA‑β‑gal) staining assay. Cilostazol altered the expression of type Ⅱ collagen and β‑catenin, which are phenotypic markers of the differentiation and dedifferentiation of chondrocytes. Cilo...

Cilostazol induces mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation in C2C12 myotubes.
In this study, we report that cilostazol can elevate complete FAO and decrease both triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation and TAG secretion. This use of cilostazol treatment increases expression of PGC-1α and, subsequently, its target genes, such as ERRα, NOR1, CD36, CPT1, MCAD, and ACO. Expression of these factors is linked to fatty acid β-oxidation but this effect is inhibited by H-89, a specific inhibitor of the PKA/CREB pathway. Importantly, knockdown of PGC-1α using siRNA abolished the effects of cilostazol in fatty acid oxidation (FAO) and TAG metabolism. These findings suggested that the PKA/CREB/PGC-1α pathway pl...

The hypolipidemic effect of cilostazol can be mediated by regulation of hepatic low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) expression
Conclusion: Taken together, our results demonstrated that cilostazol enhances LRP1 expression in liver by activating PPARγ through the PPRE in the LRP1 promoter. Increased hepatic LRP1 may be essential for the reduction of circulating triglycerides brought about by cilostazol.
