1. Metarhizium anisopliae lipolytic activity plays a pivotal role in Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus infection
Walter O Beys da Silva, Lucélia Santi, Augusto Schrank, Marilene H Vainstein Fungal Biol. 2010 Jan;114(1):10-5. doi: 10.1016/j.mycres.2009.08.003. Epub 2009 Aug 12.
Lipases secreted by Metarhizium anisopliae, an important biological control agent, could potentially be involved in the host infection process. Here, we present the activity profile during the host infection process and the effect of lipase activity inhibitor ebelactone B on infection. The previous treatment of spores with lipase activity inhibitor, ebelactone B, completely inhibited lipolytic activity and prevented the infection of the Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus host. The results herein presented prove, for the first time, the importance of lipase activity in M. anisopliae host infection process. The filamentous fungus Metarhizium anisopliae is one of the most important and studied biological agents for the control of several arthropod pests, including the cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus. Lipases secreted by M. anisopliae could potentially be involved in the host infection process. This work presents the activity profile during the host infection process and the effect of lipase activity inhibitor ebelactone B on infection. During the course of tick exposure to spores (6-120 h) lipase activity increased from 0.03 ± 0.00 U to 0.312 ± 0.068 U using rho NP palmitate as substrate. In zymograms, bands of lipase activity were detected in ticks treated with spores without inhibitor. The previous treatment of spores with lipase activity inhibitor, ebelactone B, completely inhibited lipolytic activity, at all times specified, and prevented the infection of the R. microplus host. Spores treated with the inhibitor did not germinate on the tick, although this effect was not observed in the culture medium. The results herein presented prove, for the first time, the importance of lipase activity in M. anisopliae host infection process.
2. A Novel Category of Anti-Hypertensive Drugs for Treating Salt-Sensitive Hypertension on the Basis of a New Development Concept
Makoto Katori, Masataka Majima Pharmaceuticals (Basel). 2010 Jan 7;3(1):59-109. doi: 10.3390/ph3010059.
Terrestrial animals must conserve water and NaCl to survive dry environments. The kidney reabsorbs 95% of the sodium filtered from the glomeruli before sodium reaches the distal connecting tubules. Excess sodium intake requires the renal kallikrein-kinin system for additional excretion. Renal kallikrein is secreted from the distal connecting tubule cells of the kidney, and its substrates, low molecular kininogen, from the principal cells of the cortical collecting ducts (CD). Formed kinins inhibit reabsorption of NaCl through bradykinin (BK)-B₂ receptors, localized along the CD. Degradation pathway of BK by kinin-destroying enzymes in urine differs completely from that in plasma, so that ACE inhibitors are ineffective. Urinary BK is destroyed mainly by a carboxypeptidase-Y-like exopeptidase (CPY) and partly by a neutral endopeptidase (NEP). Inhibitors of CPY and NEP, ebelactone B and poststatin, respectively, were found. Renal kallikrein secretion is accelerated by potassium and ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel blockers, such as PNU-37883A. Ebelactone B prevents DOCA-salt hypertension in rats. Only high salt intake causes hypertension in animals deficient in BK-B2 receptors, tissue kallikrein, or kininogen. Hypertensive patients, and spontaneously hypertensive rats, excrete less kallikrein than normal subjects, irrespective of races, and become salt-sensitive. Ebelactone B, poststatin, and KATP channel blockers could become novel antihypertensive drugs by increase in urinary kinin levels. Roles of kinin in cardiovascular diseases were discussed.
3. Ebelactone B, an inhibitor of extracellular cathepsin A-type enzyme, suppresses platelet aggregation ex vivo in renovascular hypertensive rats
Halina Ostrowska, Joanna Kalinowska, Ewa Chabielska, Adrian Stankiewicz, Kamil Kruszewski, Wlodzimierz Buczko J Cardiovasc Pharmacol. 2005 Apr;45(4):348-53. doi: 10.1097/01.fjc.0000157441.95354.d6.
The present study was undertaken to investigate whether ebelactone B, an inhibitor of bradykinin and angiotensin I hydrolysis by serine carboxypeptidase Y-like enzymes, could influence platelet aggregation ex vivo in renovascular hypertensive rats (2-kidney, 1-clip Goldblatt model, 2K1C). We found that ebelactone B (5 mg/kg) administrated subcutaneously once a day for 5 days, 5 weeks after the development of hypertension, or a single dose of ebelactone B (0.5 mg/kg) injected intravenously into 2K1C hypertensive rats before the induction of arterial thrombosis, both markedly suppressed collagen-induced platelet aggregation in whole blood. In contrast, inhibition of collagen-induced platelet aggregation was not evident in vitro after pretreatment of the blood with ebelactone B, indicating that ex vivo the antiaggregatory action of this compound can proceed through an indirect mechanism. The injection of ebelactone B did not affect the mean blood pressure of 2K1C hypertensive rats but lowered an elevated extracellular serine carboxypeptidase cathepsin A-like activity. Thus, the data indicate that ebelactone B may be a promising antiaggregatory agent in renovascular hypertension and suggest that 1 of the possible mechanisms through which it exerts this effect may be related to the suppression of cathepsin A-like activity released locally during the development of renovascular hypertension.
