Periodontitis is associated with development of diabetes mellitus. Although lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), a major pathogen of periodontitis, may lead the progression of diabetes complications, the precise mechanisms are unclear. We, therefore, investigated the effects of β‐carotene on production of Pg LPS‐induced inflammatory cytokines in human monocytes cultured high glucose (HG) condition. THP‐1 cells were cultured under 5.5 mM or 25 mM glucose conditions, and cells were stimulated with Pg LPS. To investigate the productivity of TNF‐α, IL‐6, and MCP‐1, cell supernatants were collected for ELISA. To examine the effects of NF‐kB signals on cytokine production, Bay11‐7082 was used. HG enhanced Pg LPS‐induced production of TNF‐α, IL‐6, and MCP‐1 via NF‐kB signals in THP‐1. β‐carotene suppressed the enhancement of the Pg LPS‐induced cytokine production in THP‐1 via NF‐κB inactivation. Our results suggest that β‐carotene might be a potential anti‐inflammatory nutrient for circulating Pg LPS‐mediated cytokine production in diabetic patients with periodontitis. 相似文献

This study aimed to examine miR‐140 expression in clinical samples from tuberculosis (TB) patients and to explore the molecular mechanisms of miR‐140 in host‐bacterial interactions during Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M tb) infections. The miR‐140 expression and relevant mRNA expression were detected by quantitative real‐time PCR (qRT‐PCR); the protein expression levels were analysed by ELISA and western blot; M tb survival was measured by colony formation unit assay; potential interactions between miR‐140 and the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of tumour necrosis factor receptor‐associated factor 6 (TRAF6) was confirmed by luciferase reporter assay. MiR‐140 was up‐regulated in the human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from TB patients and in THP‐1 and U937 cells with M tb infection. Overexpression of miR‐140 promoted M tb survival; on the other hand, miR‐140 knockdown attenuated M tb survival. The pro‐inflammatory cytokines including interleukin 6, tumour necrosis‐α, interleukin‐1β and interferon‐γ were enhanced by M tb infection in THP‐1 and U937 cells. MiR‐140 overexpression reduced these pro‐inflammatory cytokines levels in THP‐1 and U937 cells with M tb infection; while knockdown of miR‐140 exerted the opposite actions. TRAF6 was identified to be a downstream target of miR‐140 and was negatively modulated by miR‐140. TRAF6 overexpression increased the pro‐inflammatory cytokines levels and partially restored the suppressive effects of miR‐140 overexpression on pro‐inflammatory cytokines levels in THP‐1 and U937 cells with M tb infection. In conclusion, our results implied that miR‐140 promoted M tb survival and reduced the pro‐inflammatory cytokines levels in macrophages with M tb infection partially via modulating TRAF6 expression. 相似文献

Interleukin (IL)‐1β plays an important role in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The production of IL‐1β is dependent upon caspase‐1‐containing multiprotein complexes called inflammasomes and IL‐1R1/MyD88/NF‐κB pathway. In this study, we explored whether a potential anti‐fibrotic agent fluorofenidone (FD) exerts its anti‐inflammatory and anti‐fibrotic effects through suppressing activation of NACHT, LRR and PYD domains‐containing protein 3 (NALP3) inflammasome and the IL‐1β/IL‐1R1/MyD88/NF‐κB pathway in vivo and in vitro. Male C57BL/6J mice were intratracheally injected with Bleomycin (BLM) or saline. Fluorofenidone was administered throughout the course of the experiment. Lung tissue sections were stained with haemotoxylin and eosin and Masson's trichrome. Cytokines were measured by ELISA, and α‐smooth muscle actin (α‐SMA), fibronectin, collagen I, caspase‐1, IL‐1R1, MyD88 were measured by Western blot and/or RT‐PCR. The human actue monocytic leukaemia cell line (THP‐1) were incubated with monosodium urate (MSU), with or without FD pre‐treatment. The expression of caspase‐1, IL‐1β, NALP3, apoptosis‐associated speck‐like protein containing (ASC) and pro‐caspase‐1 were measured by Western blot, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation was detected using the Flow Cytometry, and the interaction of NALP3 inflammasome‐associated molecules were measured by Co‐immunoprecipitation. RLE‐6TN (rat lung epithelial‐T‐antigen negative) cells were incubated with IL‐1β, with or without FD pre‐treatment. The expression of nuclear protein p65 was measured by Western blot. Results showed that FD markedly reduced the expressions of IL‐1β, IL‐6, monocyte chemotactic protein‐1 (MCP‐1), myeloperoxidase (MPO), α‐SMA, fibronectin, collagen I, caspase‐1, IL‐1R1 and MyD88 in mice lung tissues. And FD inhibited MSU‐induced the accumulation of ROS, blocked the interaction of NALP3 inflammasome‐associated molecules, decreased the level of caspase‐1 and IL‐1β in THP‐1 cells. Besides, FD inhibited IL‐1β‐induced the expression of nuclear protein p65. This study demonstrated that FD, attenuates BLM‐induced pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis in mice via inhibiting the activation of NALP3 inflammasome and the IL‐1β/IL‐1R1/MyD88/ NF‐κB pathway. 相似文献

Human leukemic THP‐1 promonocytes are widely used as a model for peripheral blood monocytes. However, superoxide production during respiratory burst (RB) of non‐differentiated THP‐1 (nd‐THP‐1) cells is very low. Here we present a rapid and low‐cost method for measuring the chemiluminescence (CL) of opsonized zymosan (OZ) induced RB which allows detection of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced priming of nd‐THP‐1 cells on the basis of CL reaction kinetics. Maximum CL intensity obtained was 2.20 ± 0.25 and 1.30 ± 0.11 relative light units, while CL peak time was achieved at 18.1 ± 2.6 and 28.7 ± 1.3 min in primed and non‐primed cells, respectively. The priming of nd‐THP‐1 cells with LPS evoked typical TNF‐α and IL‐6 production. We tested the effects of bovine lactoferrin and protein fractions from Lactobacillus helveticus BGRA43 fermented milk for potential anti‐inflammatory effects on LPS primed nd‐THP‐1 cells. Four fractions were found to inhibit the OZ‐induced CL in a dose‐dependent manner (IC50 3–30 µg/mL), while lactoferrin inhibited CL to a lesser extent (IC50 270 µg/mL). These results suggest that measuring CL response of nd‐THP‐1 cells can serve as a method for screening anti‐inflammatory compounds which could be used in reducing the risk of phagocyte‐mediated inflammatory diseases.

Background
A combination of tissue engineering methods employing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) together with gene transfer takes advantage of innovative strategies and highlights a new approach for targeting osteoarthritis (OA) and other cartilage defects. Furthermore, the development of systems allowing tunable transgene expression as regulated by natural disease‐induced substances is highly desirable.Methods
Bone marrow‐derived equine MSCs were transduced with a lentiviral vector expressing interleukin‐1 receptor antagonist (IL‐1Ra) gene under the control of an inducible nuclear factor‐kappa B‐responsive promoter and IL‐1Ra production upon pro‐inflammatory cytokine stimulation [tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α, interleukin (IL)‐1β] was analysed. To assess the biological activity of the IL‐1Ra protein that was produced and the therapeutic effect of IL‐1Ra‐expressing MSCs (MSC/IL‐1Ra), cytokine‐based two‐ and three‐dimensional in vitro models of osteoarthritis using equine chondrocytes were established and quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis was used to measure the gene expression of aggrecan, collagen IIA1, interleukin‐1β, interleukin‐6, interleukin‐8, matrix metalloproteinase‐1 and matrix metalloproteinase‐13.Results
A dose‐dependent increase in IL‐1Ra expression was found in MSC/IL‐1Ra cells upon TNFα administration, whereas stimulation using IL‐1β did not lead to IL‐1Ra production above the basal level observed in nonstimulated cells as a result of the existing feedback loop. Repeated cycles of induction allowed on/off modulation of transgene expression. In vitro analyses revealed that IL‐1Ra protein present in the conditioned medium from MSC/IL‐1Ra cells blocks OA onset in cytokine‐treated equine chondrocytes and co‐cultivation of MSC/IL‐1Ra cells with osteoarthritic spheroids alleviates the severity of the osteoarthritic changes.Conclusions
Thus, pro‐inflammatory cytokine induced IL‐1Ra protein expression from genetically modified MSCs might represent a promising strategy for osteoarthritis treatment. 相似文献6.
Deficiency in neutrophils (neutropenia) caused by mutations in neutrophil elastase (NE, ELA2) has been extensively investigated. Monocytes and neutrophils are derived from a common myeloid progenitor; therefore, ELA2 mutations can also influence monocyte development. These effects have not been well described. In this study, we used the human monocytic THP‐1, to carry the human wild‐type and G185R mutant ELA2 gene. Growth, death, differentiation and BiP expression were evaluated in the two stable cell lines and in the wild‐type THP‐1 cells. Exogenous wild‐type ELA2 markedly increased THP‐1 differentiation, whereas G185R ELA2 was incompetent to promote THP‐1 differentiation in response to all‐trans retinoic acid (ATRA). Indeed, during differentiation induced by ATRA, G185R cell line showed significant cell death. Also, up‐regulated BiP expression accompanied cell death in the G185R cells, suggesting that the overexpression of G185R elastase increases apoptosis through an unfolded protein response. The G185R cells treated with lithium chloride (LiCl; a Wnt signalling activator) displayed higher BiP expression but similar cell viability compared with THP1 and HNEwt/THP1 cells treated with LiCl. This suggested that Wnt signalling might increase cellular tolerance to endoplasmic reticulum stress, enabling mutant monocyte survival. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Patients suffering from diabetes mellitus (DM) are at a severe risk of atherothrombosis. Early growth response (Egr)‐1 is well characterized as a central mediator in vascular pathophysiology. We tested whether valsartan independent of Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1R) can reduce tissue factor (TF) and toll‐like receptor (TLR)‐2 and ‐4 by regulating Egr‐1 in THP‐1 cells and aorta in streptozotocin‐induced diabetic mice. High glucose (HG, 15 mM) increased expressions of Egr‐1, TF, TLR‐2 and ‐4 which were significantly reduced by valsartan. HG increased Egr‐1 expression by activation of PKC and ERK1/2 in THP‐1 cells. Valsartan increased AMPK phosphorylation in a concentration and time‐dependent manner via activation of LKB1. Valsartan inhibited Egr‐1 without activation of PKC or ERK1/2. The reduced expression of Egr‐1 by valsartan was reversed by either silencing Egr‐1, or compound C, or DN‐AMPK‐transfected cells. Valsartan inhibited binding of NF‐κB and Egr‐1 to TF promoter in HG condition. Furthermore, valsartan reduced inflammatory cytokine (TNF‐α, IL‐6 and IL‐1β) production and NF‐κB activity in HG‐activated THP‐1 cells. Interestingly, these effects of valsartan were not affected by either silencing AT1R in THP‐1 cells or CHO cells, which were devoid of AT1R. Importantly, administration of valsartan (20 mg/kg, i.p) for 8 weeks significantly reduced plasma TF activity, expression of Egr‐1, TLR‐2, ‐4 and TF in thoracic aorta and improved glucose tolerance of streptozotocin‐induced diabetic mice. Taken together, we concluded that valsartan may reduce atherothrombosis in diabetic conditions through AMPK/Egr‐1 regulation. 相似文献

We investigated the interplay occurring between pathogens in the course of dual infections, using an in vitro model in which the THP‐1 monocytic cell line is first infected with HSV‐1 and then exposed to Ca or Cn. These three pathogens share some pathogenic features: they cause opportunistic infections, target macrophages and are neurotropic. Here, we show that HSV‐1‐infected THP‐1 cells exhibited augmented phagocytosis against the two opportunistic fungi but reduced capability to counteract fungal infection: the better ingestion by monocytes was followed by facilitated fungal survival and replication. Reduced IL‐12 production was also observed. Cytofluorimetric analysis showed that HSV‐1‐infected monocytes exhibit: (i) downregulated TLR‐2 and TLR‐4, critical structures in fungal recognition; (ii) reduced expression of CD38 and CD69, known to be important markers of monocyte activation; and (iii) enhanced expression of apoptosis and necrosis markers, in the absence of altered cell proliferation. Overall, these findings imply that HSV‐1 infection prevents monocyte activation, thus leading to a significant dysfunction of the monocyte‐mediated anti‐Candida response; HSV‐1 induced apoptosis and necrosis of monocytes further contribute to this impairment. 相似文献

Tripalmitoyl‐S‐glycero‐Cys‐(Lys) 4 (Pam3CSK4) interacted with TLR2 induces inflammatory responses through the mitogen‐activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and nuclear factor‐κB (NF‐κB) signal pathway. Rapamycin can suppress TLR‐induced inflammatory responses; however, the detailed molecular mechanism is not fully understood. Here, the mechanism by which rapamycin suppresses TLR2‐induced inflammatory responses was investigated. It was found that Pam3CSK4‐induced pro‐inflammatory cytokines were significantly down‐regulated at both the mRNA and protein levels in THP‐1 cells pre‐treated with various concentrations of rapamycin. Inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase/protein kinase‐B (PI3K/AKT) signaling did not suppress the expression of pro‐inflammatory cytokines, indicating that the immunosuppression mediated by rapamycin in THP1 cells is independent of the PI3K/AKT pathway. RT‐PCR showed that Erk and NF‐κB signal pathways are related to the production of pro‐inflammatory cytokines. Inhibition of Erk or NF‐κB signaling significantly down‐regulated production of pro‐inflammatory cytokines. Additionally, western blot showed that pre‐treatment of THP‐1 cells with rapamycin down‐regulates MAPKs and NF‐κB signaling induced by Pam3CSK4 stimulation, suggesting that rapamycin suppresses Pam3CSK4‐induced pro‐inflammatory cytokines via inhibition of TLR2 signaling. It was concluded that rapamycin suppresses TLR2‐induced inflammatory responses by down‐regulation of Erk and NF‐κB signaling. 相似文献

Ghrelin is a physiological‐active peptide with growth hormone‐releasing activity, orexigenic activity, etc. In addition, the recent study has also suggested that ghrelin possesses the pathophysiological abilities related with type 2 diabetes. However, the ghrelin‐direct‐effects implicated in type 2 diabetes on peripheral tissues have been still unclear, whereas its actions on the central nervous system (CNS) appear to induce the development of diabetes. Thus, to assess its peripheral effects correlated with diabetes, we investigated the regulatory mechanisms about adipokines, which play a central role in inducing peripheral insulin resistance, secreted from mature 3T3‐L1 adipocytes stimulated with ghrelin in vitro . The stimulation with 50 nmol/L ghrelin for 24 h resulted in the significant 1.9‐fold increase on vascular endothelial growth factor‐120 (VEGF120) releases (p < 0.01) and the 1.7‐fold on monocyte chemoattractant protein‐1 (MCP‐1) (p < 0.01) from 3T3‐L1 adipocytes, respectively, while ghrelin failed to enhance tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α), interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β), IL‐6, IL‐10 and adiponectin secretions. In addition, Akt phosphorylation on Ser473 and c‐Jun NH2‐terminal protein kinase (JNK) phosphorylation on Thr183/Tyr185 were markedly enhanced 1.4‐fold (p < 0.01) and 1.6‐fold (p < 0.01) in the ghrelin‐stimulated adipocytes, respectively. Furthermore, the treatment with LY294002 (50 μmol/L) and Wortmannin (10nmol/L), inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase (PI3K), significantly decreased the amplified VEGF120 secretion by 29% (p < 0.01) and 28% (p < 0.01) relative to the cells stimulated by ghrelin alone, respectively, whereas these inhibitors had no effects on increased MCP‐1 release. On the other hand, JNK inhibitor SP600125 (10 μmol/L) clearly reduced the increased MCP‐1, but not VEGF120, release by 35% relative to the only ghrelin‐stimulated cells (p < 0.01). In conclusion, ghrelin can enhance the secretions of proinflammatory adipokines, VEGF120 and MCP‐1, but fails to affect IL‐10 and adiponectin which are considered to be anti‐inflammatory adipokines. Moreover, this augmented VEGF120 release is invited through the activation of PI3K pathways and the MCP‐1 is through JNK pathways. Consequently, our results strongly suggest that ghrelin can induce the development of diabetes via its direct‐action in peripheral tissues as well as via in CNS. J. Cell.

Bovine mastitis is the most common disease in dairy cattle. Bacterial infections are the main cause of mastitis. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a major structural component of the cell wall of Escherichia coli, is a good inducer used to replicate inflammation models. 8‐Methoxypsoralen (8‐MOP), a formerly considered photosensitizing agent, has been used in immunotherapy. This study investigated the protective effects of 8‐MOP on LPS‐induced inflammatory injury in bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs). LPS treatment (50 μg/mL for 12 hr) caused a decrease in cell viability, morphological damage, and cell apoptosis. Pretreatment with 8‐MOP at concentrations of 25 and 50 μg/ml significantly attenuated LPS‐induced inflammation in BMECs. qRT‐PCR analysis revealed that the messenger RNA expression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokine (interleukin‐1β [IL‐1β], IL‐6, tumor necrosis factor‐α, and IL‐8) was suppressed by 8‐MOP in LPS‐stimulated BMECs. Western blot analysis showed that 8‐MOP could also reduce the protein levels of cyclooxygenase‐2 and promote the translocation of high‐mobility group box 1 from the nucleus to cytoplasm. Furthermore, the anti‐inflammatory property of 8‐MOP was mediated by inhibiting nuclear factor kappa‐light‐chain‐enhancer of activated B cells activation and STAT1 phosphorylation. Taken together, 8‐MOP could protect cells from inflammatory injury induced by LPS, and may be a potential agent against bovine mastitis. 相似文献

Peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptors (PPARs) play a major role in metabolism and inflammatory control. Exercise can modulate PPAR expression in skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, and macrophages. Little is known about the effects of PPAR‐α in metabolic profile and cytokine secretion after acute exercise in macrophages. In this context, the aim of this study was to understand the influence of PPAR‐α on exercise‐mediated immune metabolic parameters in peritoneal macrophages. Mice C57BL/6 (WT) and PPAR‐α knockout (KO) were examined in non‐exercising control (n = 4) or 24 hours after acute moderate exercise (n = 8). Metabolic parameters (glucose, non‐esterified fatty acids, total cholesterol [TC], and triacylglycerol [TG]) were assessed in serum. Cytokine concentrations (IL‐1β, IL‐6, IL‐10, TNF‐α, and MCP‐1) were measured from peritoneal macrophages cultured or not with LPS (2.5 μg/mL) and Rosiglitazone (1 μM). Exercised KO mice exhibited low glucose concentration and higher TC and TG in serum. At baseline, no difference in cytokine production between the genotypes was observed. However, IL‐1β was significantly higher in KO mice after LPS stimulus. IL‐6 and IL‐1β had increased concentrations in KO compared with WT, even after exercise. MCP‐1 was not restored in exercised KO LPS group. Rosiglitazone was not able to reduce proinflammatory cytokine production in KO mice at baseline level or associated with exercise. Acute exercise did not alter mRNA expression in WT mice. Conclusion: PPAR‐α seems to be needed for metabolic glucose homeostasis and anti‐inflammatory effect of acute exercise. Its absence may induce over‐expression of pro‐inflammatory cytokines in LPS stimulus. Moreover, moderate exercise or PPAR‐γ agonist did not reverse this response. 相似文献

Gastrokine 1 (GKN1) plays an important role in the gastric mucosal defense mechanism and also acts as a functional gastric tumor suppressor. In this study, we examined the effect of GKN1 on the expression of inflammatory mediators, including NF‐κB, COX‐2, and cytokines in GKN1‐transfected AGS cells and shGKN1‐transfected HFE‐145 cells. Lymphocyte migration and cell viability were also analyzed after treatment with GKN1 and inflammatory cytokines in AGS cells by transwell chemotaxis and an MTT assay, respectively. In GKN1‐transfected AGS cells, we observed inactivation and reduced expression of NF‐κB and COX‐2, whereas shGKN1‐transfected HFE‐145 cells showed activation and increased expression of NF‐κB and COX‐2. GKN1 expression induced production of inflammatory cytokines including IL‐8 and ‐17A, but decreased expression of IL‐6 and ‐10. We also found IL‐17A expression in 9 (13.6%) out of 166 gastric cancer tissues and its expression was closely associated with GKN1 expression. GKN1 also acted as a chemoattractant for the migration of Jurkat T cells and peripheral B lymphocytes in the transwell assay. In addition, GKN1 significantly reduced cell viability in both AGS and HFE‐145 cells. These data suggest that the GKN1 gene may inhibit progression of gastric epithelial cells to cancer cells by regulating NF‐κB signaling pathway and cytokine expression. J. Cell.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease induced by Type 2 helper T cells and eosinophils. Vascular cell adhesion molecule‐1 (VCAM‐1) has been implicated in recruiting eosinophils and lymphocytes to pathological sites in asthma as a regulatory receptor. Accordingly, monoclonal antibody (mAb) against VCAM‐1 may attenuate allergic inflammation and pathophysiological features of asthma. We attempted to evaluate whether a recently developed human anti‐VCAM‐1 mAb can inhibit the pathophysiological features of asthma in a murine asthma model induced by ovalbumin (OVA). Leucocyte adhesion inhibition assay was performed to evaluate the in vitro blocking activity of human anti‐VCAM‐1 mAb. OVA‐sensitized BALB/c mice were treated with human anti‐VCAM‐1 mAb or isotype control Ab before intranasal OVA challenge. We evaluated airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid analysis, measured inflammatory cytokines and examined histopathological features. The human anti‐VCAM‐1 mAb bound to human and mouse VCAM‐1 molecules and inhibited adhesion of human leucocytes in vitro. AHR and inflammatory cell counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were reduced in mice treated with human anti‐VCAM‐1 mAb as compared with a control Ab. The levels of interleukin (IL)‐5 and IL‐13, as well as transforming growth factor‐β, in lung tissue were decreased in treated mice. Human anti‐VCAM‐1 mAb reduced goblet cell hyperplasia and peribronchial fibrosis. In vivo VCAM‐1 expression decreased in the treated group. In conclusion, human anti‐VCAM‐1 mAb attenuated allergic inflammation and the pathophysiological features of asthma in OVA‐induced murine asthma model. The results suggested that human anti‐VCAM‐1 mAb could potentially be used as an additional anti‐asthma therapeutic medicine. 相似文献

Inflammation is a complex process involving cytokine production to regulate host defense cascades. In contrast to the therapeutic significance of acute inflammation, a pathogenic impact of chronic inflammation on cancer development has been proposed. Upregulation of inflammatory cytokines, such as IL‐1β and IL‐8, has been noted in prostate cancer patients and IL‐8 has been shown to promote prostate cancer cell proliferation and migration; however, it is not clear whether IL‐1β regulates IL‐8 expression in prostate cancer cells. Glucosamine is widely regarded as an anti‐inflammatory agent and thus we hypothesized that if IL‐1β activated IL‐8 production in prostate cancer cells, then glucosamine ought to blunt such an effect. Three prostate cancer cell lines, DU‐145, PC‐3, and LNCaP, were used to evaluate the effects of IL‐1β and glucosamine on IL‐8 expression using ELISA and RT‐PCR analyses. IL‐1β elevated IL‐8 mRNA expression and subsequent IL‐8 secretion. Glucosamine significantly inhibited IL‐1β‐induced IL‐8 secretion. IL‐8 appeared to induce LNCaP cell proliferation by MTT assay; involvement of IL‐8 in IL‐1β‐dependent PC‐3 cell migration was demonstrated by wound‐healing and transwell migration assays. Inhibitors of MAPKs and NFκB were used to pinpoint MAPKs but not NFκB being involved in IL‐1β‐mediated IL‐8 production. IL‐1β‐provoked phosphorylation of all MAPKs was notably suppressed by glucosamine. We suggest that IL‐1β can activate the MAPK pathways resulting in an induction of IL‐8 production, which promotes prostate cancer cell proliferation and migration. In this context, glucosamine appears to inhibit IL‐1β‐mediated activation of MAPKs and therefore reduces IL‐8 production; this, in turn, attenuates cell proliferation/migration. J. Cell.

Chemoresistance is a critical challenge in the clinical treatment of triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC). It has been well documented that inflammatory mediators from tumor microenvironment are involved in the pathogenesis of TNBC and might be related to chemoresistance of cancer cells. In this study, the contribution of interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), one of the principal oncogenic molecules, in chemoresistance of a TNBC cell line MDA‐MB‐231 was first investigated. The results showed that IL‐6 treatment could induce upregulation of HIF‐1α via the activation of STAT3 in MDA‐MB‐231 cells, which consequently contributed to its effect against chemotherapeutic drug‐induced cytotoxicity and cell apoptosis. However, knockdown of HIF‐1α attenuated such effect via affecting the expressions of apoptosis‐related molecules as Bax and Bcl‐2 and drug transporters as P‐gp and MRP1. This study indicated that targeting at IL‐6/HIF‐1α signaling pathway might be an effective strategy to overcome chemoresistance in TNBC therapy. 相似文献
