Swainsonine Triggers Paraptosis via ER Stress and MAPK Signaling Pathway in Rat Primary Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells
Paper Abstract
Swainsonine (SW), an indolizidine alkaloid extracted from locoweeds, was shown toxic effects in multiple studies, but the underlying action mechanism remains unclear. SW is known to cause autophagy and apoptosis, but there has been no report on paraptosis mediated cell death. Here, we showed that SW induced rat primary renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) death accompanied by vacuolation in vitro. The fluorescence with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Tracker Red and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results indicated that the vacuoles were of ER origin, typical of paraptosis. The level of ER stress markers, such as polyubiquitinated proteins, Bip, CHOP and cytoplasmic concentration of Ca2+ have drastically increased. Interestingly, autophagy inhibitor could not interrupt but enhanced the induction of cytoplasmic vacuolization. Furthermore, MAPK pathways were activated by SW and inhibitors of ERK and JNK pathways could prevent the formation of cytoplasmic vacuolization. In this study, we confirmed that SW induced cell paraptosis through ER stress and MAPK signaling pathway, thus further laying a theoretical foundation for the study of SW toxicity mechanism.
