Dihydrorotenone (DHR) Induces Apoptosis of Human Plasma Cells. DHR Induces Loss of the Mitochondrial Membrane Potential in Human Plasma Cells.
Dihydrorotenone (DHR) Induces Unfolded Protein Response and Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Human Plasma Cells.
DHR Activates p38 but not the c-Jun N-terminal Kinase in Human Plasma Cells.
The p38 MAP Kinase Contributes to DHR-induced Human Plasma Cell Apoptosis.[1]
Dihydrorotenone (DHR) is a natural pesticide widely used in farming industry, such as organic produces. DHR is a potent mitochondrial inhibitor and probably induces Parkinsonian syndrome, however, it is not known whether DHR is toxic to other systems. In the present study, we evaluated the cytotoxicity of DHR on human plasma cells. As predicted, DHR impaired mitochondrial function by decreasing mitochondrial membrane potential in plasma cells. Because mito-dysfunction leads to unfolded protein response (UPR) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, we examined the signature proteins in ER stress, including GRP78, ATF4, and CHOP. After DHR treatment, these proteins were significantly upregulated. It is reported that activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases p38 and JNK are involved in endoplasmic reticulum stress. However, in the subsequent study, DHR was found to activate p38 but not the JNK signaling. When pre-treated with p38 inhibitor SB203580, activation of p38 and cell apoptosis induced by DHR was partially blocked. Thus, we found that DHR induced human plasma cell death by activating the p38 but not the JNK signaling pathway. Because plasma cells are very important in the immune system, this study provided a new insight in the safety evaluation of DHR application.[1] |

Measurement of Mitochondrial Membrane Potential[1]
LP1 cells were treated with Dihydrorotenone (DHR) for 0, 10 or 20 µM for 24 h, or 10 µM for 0.5 to 24 h. Cells were then washed in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and incubated with 25 nM tetramethylrhodamine methyl ester or co-incubated with 25 nM TMRM and 20 µg/ml Annexin V-FITC in IMDM for 15 min at 37°C. The TMRM and Annexin V-FITC fluorescence were analyzed by flow cytometry. |

Analysis of Apoptotic Cells by Flow Cytometry[1]
Plasma cell lines LP1, KMS11, OPM2, and U266 were plated in 24-well plates, and treated with Dihydrorotenone (DHR) for 24 h followed by staining with Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate (Annexin V-FITC) and propidium iodide according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Cells were then incubated for 10 min in dark before being subject to analysis on a flow cytometer as reported previously. To analyze whether caspase activation is involved in Dihydrorotenone (DHR)-induced plasma cell apoptosis, KMS11 and LP1 cells were treated in the presence of pan-caspase inhibitor, followed by evaluation on caspase-3 activation by Western blotting and plasma cell apoptosis by Annexin V/PI double staining and flow cytometry. |

| Additional Infomation |
In summary, this study demonstrated that DHR exposure leads to human plasma cell death in association with mitochondrial dysfunction, ER stress and p38 signaling. Because plasma cells are an important component of the immune system, the present study suggested that DHR probably interferes with the immune system. With the emerging need of the organic produces, exposure to DHR is also increasing, therefore, safety assessment of DHR and other rotenoids should be cautious.[1]
