Specialized Pro-Resolving Mediators Do Not Inhibit the Synthesis of Inflammatory Mediators Induced by Tumor Necrosis Factor-α in Synovial Fibroblasts
Background : Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, a proinflammatory cytokine, is involved in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The omega-3 unsaturated fatty acid-derived metabolites resolvin (Rv) D1, RvE1, and maresin-1 (MaR1) have been reported as anti-inflammatory lipid mediators and are known as specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs). In this study, we aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of SPMs on TNF-α-induced responses in synovial fibroblasts. Methods: We investigated the effects of SPMs on gene expression and/or production of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1), interleukin (IL)-6, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3, which are involved in TNF-α-induced synovitis in RA or OA synovial fibroblasts, by quantitative real-time PCR. We also investigated the effects of SPMs on the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway by western blotting. Anti-inflammatory effects of SPMs were evaluated by applying SPMs to cultured synovial fibroblasts, followed by TNF-α stimulation. Results: The induction of COX-2, mPGES-1, IL-6, and MMP-3 by TNF-α in synovial fibroblasts was not suppressed by omega 3-derived SPMs regardless of their origin such as RA or OA. SPMs had no effect on lipid mediator receptor gene expression induce by TNF-α and did not inhibit the TNF-α-activated MAPK signaling pathway. The production of COX-2 and IL-6 protein was significantly decreased by p38 inhibitor. Conclusion: Despite reports on the anti-inflammatory effect of omega 3-derived SPMs, its anti-inflammatory effect on TNF-α-induced responses was not observed in synovial fibroblasts. The reason may be that SPMs have no suppressive effect on p38 activation, which plays an important role in the production of inflammatory cytokines in synovial fibroblasts.journal articl

Stereocontrolled Synthesis of Heterocyclic C-Nucleosides. Protecting Group Effect and Molecular Modeling Studies
We report herein a short stereocontrolled synthesis of heterocyclic C-nucleosides (indole, imidazole,
benzimidazole, and 6-iodobenzimidazole). First, condensation of 2-lithiated heterocycles 2−5 with
5-(tert-butyldiphenylsilyl)-2,3-O-isopropylidene-d-γ-ribonolactone (1) afforded the hemiacetals 6−9
in good yields. Then, borohydride reduction (NaBH4) of the protected hemiacetals proceeded
stereoselectively to give predominantly the S diols 10−13, which upon Mitsunobu cyclization
afforded the α-C-nucleosides 14−17. In contrast, the same PPh3/DEAD treatment of the 1:1
diastereomeric mixture of the free heterocyclic diols 10d and 11d gave exclusively the β-anomers
14dβ and 15dβ, respectively, by a stereocontrolled process. The mechanisms of these stereocontrolled
steps are discussed with the support of molecular modeling studies

Synthesis, Incorporation into Triplex-Forming Oligonucleotide, and Binding Properties of a Novel 2‘-Deoxy-<i>C</i>-Nucleoside Featuring a 6-(Thiazolyl-5)benzimidazole Nucleobase
6-(Thiazolyl-5)benzimidazole (Bt) was designed as a novel nucleobase for the specific recognition of an inverted A·T base pair in a triple helix
motif. It was successfully incorporated into an 18-mer triplex-forming oligonucleotide (TFO) using the 2‘-deoxy-C-nucleoside phosphoramidite
16. The triple helix binding properties of the modified TFO were examined by means of thermal denaturation experiments targeting an
oligopyrimidine·oligopurine 26-mer DNA duplex containing an A·T base pair inversion
