| Abstract | Thymoquinone (TQ) derived from the nutraceutical black cumin oil has been reported to be a novel agonist of Neu4 sialidase activity in live cells (Glycoconj J DOI 10.1007/s10719-010-9281-6). The activation of Neu4 sialidase on the cell surface by TQ was found to involve GPCR-signaling via membrane targeting of Gαi subunit proteins and matrix metalloproteinase-9 activation. Contrary to other reports, TQ had no anti-inflammatory effects in vitro. Here, we show that MyD88/TLR4 complex formation and subsequent NFκB activation are induced by the Neu4 activity associated with TQ-stimulated live primary bone marrow (BM) macrophage cells from WT and Neu1-deficient mice, HEK-TLR4/MD2 cells and BMC-2 macrophage cell line but not with primary macrophage cells from Neu4-knockout mice. Tamiflu (oseltamivir phosphate), pertussis toxin (PTX), a specific inhibitor of Gαi proteins of G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) and the broad range inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) galardin applied to live primary BM macrophage cells completely block TQ-induced MyD88/TLR4 complex formation. Using immunocytochemistry and western blot analyses, Tamiflu, galardin and PTX inhibit NFκB activation induced by Neu4 activity associated with TQ-stimulated BMC-2 cells, HEK-TLR4/MD2 cells and primary BM macrophages from WT mice. EMSA analyses on HEK-TLR4/MD2 nuclear cell extracts confirm the nuclear localization and DNA binding of TQ-induced NFκB activation in a biphasic manner within 30 min. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments reveal for the first time that MMP-9 may be an important intermediate link in the TQ-induced Neu4 activity circuitously targeting TLR4 receptors. Central to this process is that Neu4 forms a complex with MMP-9, which is already bound to TLR4 receptors. Fluorescence spectrophotometer analyses of live CD14-THP1 cells treated with TQ show Neu4 sialidase activity over 5 min. Using flow cytometry analyses, CD14-THP1 cells treated with TQ express stable protein levels of Neu4, TLR4 and MMP9 on the cell surface over 30 min except for a marked diminution of MMP9 at 15 min. Using cytokine array profiling analyses of serum, Neu4-knockout mice respond poorly to TQ in producing pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines after 5-h treatment compared to the wild-type or hypomorphic cathepsin A mice with a secondary 90% Neu1 deficient mice. Our findings establish an unprecedented signaling paradigm for TQ-induced Neu4 sialidase activity. It signifies that MMP-9 forms an important molecular signaling platform in complex with TLR4 receptors at the ectodomain and acts as the intermediate link for TQ-induced Neu4 sialidase in generating a functional receptor with subsequent NFκB activation and pro-inflammatory cytokine production in vivo. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
