OBJECTIVE
We investigated how diosgenin, a steroidal sapogenin, has anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) effects in human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs).
METHODS
Tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) was assessed by Western blot analysis. Intracellular Ca2+ was measured using Fluo-4 AM. Immunofluorescence staining was performed for a disintegrin and metalloprotease 10 (ADAM10).
RESULTS
Diosgenin (1 ∼ 100 nM) induced ectodomain shedding of TNFR1 within 30 min and attenuated TNF-α-induced intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression. Upon treatment with diosgenin, extracellular Ca2+ entered into the cells via L-type calcium channels, whereas diosgenin-induced ectodomain shedding of TNFR1 was almost completely inhibited by BAPTA-AM (intracellular Ca2+ chelator), verapamil (L-type calcium channel antagonist) and the absence of extracellular Ca2+. Diosgenin caused translocation of ADAM10 to the cell surface, which was mediated by extracellular Ca2+ influx. Depletion of ADAM10 prevented diosgenin-induced ectodomain shedding of TNFR1 and abolished the inhibitory effect of diosgenin on TNF-α-induced ICAM-1 expression. Diosgenin did not induce extracellular Ca2+ influx and ectodomain shedding of TNFR1 in cells depleted of 1,25D3-membrane associated rapid response steroid-binding receptor (1,25D3-MARRS receptor/ERp57).
CONCLUSIONS
Diosgenin elicits L-type calcium channel-mediated extracellular Ca2+ influx, and thereby induces ADAM10-mediated ectodomain shedding of TNFR1. This effect of diosgenin was exerted through 1,25D3-MARRS receptor/ERp57.
