Proteinase inhibitor 9 (PI-9) inhibits caspase-1 (interleukin (IL)-1beta-converting enzyme) and granzyme B, thereby regulating production of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1beta and susceptibility to granzyme B-induced apoptosis. We show that cellular PI-9 mRNA and protein are induced by IL-1beta, lipopolysaccharide, and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. We identified functional imperfect nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) sites at -135 and -88 and a consensus activator protein-1 (AP-1) site at -308 in the PI-9 promoter region. Using transient transfections in HepG2 cells to assay PI-9 promoter mutations, we find that mutational ablation of the AP-1 site or of either NF-kappaB site reduces IL-1beta-induced expression of PI-9 by approximately 60%. Mutational ablation of the two NF-kappaB sites and of the AP-1 site nearly abolishes both basal and IL-1beta-induced expression of PI-9. Nuclear extracts from IL-1beta-treated HepG2 cells exhibited strong, IL-1beta-inducible binding to the NF-kappaB sites and to the AP-1 site. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays show that after IL-1beta treatment c-Jun/c-Fos and JunD bind to the AP-1 site, whereas the p50/p65 heterodimer binds to the two NF-kappaB sites. Estrogens induce PI-9, but induction of PI-9 by estrogens and IL-1beta is not synergistic. In transiently transfected, estrogen receptor-positive HepG2ER7 cells, estrogens do not interfere with IL-1beta induction, whereas IL-1beta exhibits dose-dependent repression of estrogen-inducible PI-9 expression. Our surprising finding that the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1beta strongly induces PI-9 suggests a novel mechanism for regulating inflammation and apoptosis through a negative feedback loop controlling expression of the anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic protein, PI-9. 相似文献

IL-1beta is a prototypical proinflammatory cytokine that plays a central role in the intestinal inflammation amplification cascade. Recent studies have indicated that a TNF-alpha- and IFN-gamma-induced increase in intestinal epithelial paracellular permeability may be an important mechanism contributing to intestinal inflammation. Despite its central role in promoting intestinal inflammation, the role of IL-1beta on intestinal epithelial tight junction (TJ) barrier function remains unclear. The major aims of this study were to determine the effect of IL-1beta on intestinal epithelial TJ permeability and to elucidate the mechanisms involved in this process, using a well-established in vitro intestinal epithelial model system consisting of filter-grown Caco-2 intestinal epithelial monolayers. IL-1beta (0-100 ng/ml) produced a concentration- and time-dependent decrease in Caco-2 transepithelial resistance. Conversely, IL-1beta caused a progressive time-dependent increase in transepithelial permeability to paracellular marker inulin. IL-1beta-induced increase in Caco-2 TJ permeability was accompanied by a rapid activation of NF-kappaB. NF-kappaB inhibitors, pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate and curcumin, prevented the IL-1beta-induced increase in Caco-2 TJ permeability. To further confirm the role of NF-kappaB in the IL-1beta-induced increase in Caco-2 TJ permeability, NF-kappaB p65 expression was silenced by small interfering RNA transfection. NF-kappaB p65 depletion completely inhibited the IL-1beta-induced increase in Caco-2 TJ permeability. IL-1beta did not induce apoptosis in the Caco-2 cell. In conclusion, our findings show for the first time that IL-1beta at physiologically relevant concentrations causes an increase in intestinal epithelial TJ permeability. The IL-1beta-induced increase in Caco-2 TJ permeability was mediated in part by the activation of NF-kappaB pathways but not apoptosis. 相似文献
