Previous studies have shown that single immunoglobulin IL-1 receptor-related molecule (SIGIRR) is a negative regulator of Toll-Interleukin-1 receptor signaling. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanism of the negatively regulatory effect of SIGIRR remains unknown. Using a yeast two-hybrid screen, we identified paralemmin-3 (PALM3) as a novel binding protein of SIGIRR. This interaction of SIGIRR with PALM3 was confirmed by coimmunoprecipitation in mammalian cells. In addition, the PALM3 mRNA expression was upregulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulation in a human alveolar epithelial cell line (A549 cells). Furthermore, silencing PALM3 by RNA interference inhibited the release of inflammatory cytokines in A549 cells after LPS-stimulation. These results suggest that PALM3 may function as an adaptor in the LPS- Toll-like receptor 4 signaling and the interaction of SIGIRR with PALM3 may partly account for the mechanism of the negatively regulatory effect of SIGIRR. 相似文献

HSP27 is a member of the small HSP family which has been linked to different signaling pathways regulating critical cellular functions. But the role of HSP27 in LPS-induced inflammatory signaling pathways is still unclear. In the present study, both overexpression and RNA interference experiments indicated that HSP27 increased LPS-induced expression of iNOS and COX-2 and release of NO/PGE2 through enhancing NF-κB but not MAPK activation. The effects of HSP27 on LPS-induced iNOS/COX-2 expression and relative signaling cascade were closely related with the phosphorylation of HSP27. Further studies have shown that HSP27-regulated LPS-induced activation of NF-κB by interacting with TRAF6 and increasing the association of TRAF6-IKKγ. This could be a probable mechanism by which HSP27 modulates LPS-induce inflammatory signaling pathways. Thus, HSP27 may play a potential role in regulating inflammatory responses in immunologic system. 相似文献

An effective method for controlling brain damage and neurodegeneration caused by inflammation remains elusive. Down-expression of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory cytokines resulting in endotoxin tolerance is reported as an alternative anti-infection treatment. Nonetheless, because the dosage and action site are hard to control, endotoxin tolerance caused by low-dose LPS injection in brain tissue may induce side effects. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that static magnetic fields (SMF) stimulate endotoxin tolerance in brain tissue. In this study, survival rate and pathological changes in brain tissues of LPS-challenged mice were examined with and without SMF treatment. In addition, the effects of SMF exposure on growth rate and cytokine expression of LPS-challenged BV-2 microglia cells were monitored. Our results showed that SMF pre-exposure had positive effects on the survival rate and histological outcomes of LPS-treated mice. Furthermore, SMF exposure significantly decreased IL-6 expression in BV-2 cells (p?0.05) by a phenomenon similar to endotoxin tolerance. We suggest that SMF has potential as an alternative simulation source for controlling LPS-induced excess neuro-inflammatory response. 相似文献

Surfactant protein A (SP-A) functions in homeostasis of lung surfactant and in innate immunity. SP-A is secreted by the fetal lung into amniotic fluid. Additionally it has been detected in gestational tissues. We propose that SP-A influences intrauterine inflammation that is commonly associated with preterm birth, the main underlying cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity. We used our previously established mouse model of LPS-induced preterm birth of live-born pups to investigate the role of SP-A in preterm birth. Mice overexpressing rat SP-A (rSP-A) under the control of human SP-C promoter were used. Cytokine concentrations in maternal and fetal serum and in amniotic fluid and mRNA levels of several inflammatory mediators in lungs and in intrauterine tissues were quantified using Cytometric Bead Array and RNase Protection Assay, respectively. Higher levels of SP-A mRNA were observed in fetal lungs and intrauterine tissues of rSP-A mice compared with wild-type. Using Western blot we detected excess of SP-A protein in fetal lung and in amniotic fluid of rSP-A animals. Despite some differences in the basal levels of TNF-α and IL-10 between rSP-A and wild-type animals, there were no differences in the duration of pregnancy. However, the levels of TNF-α, IL-10 and some other inflammatory mediators in intrauterine tissues and in amniotic fluid differed significantly between the mouse lines after maternal LPS given at 17 dpc. We conclude that SP-A modulates the levels of intrauterine inflammatory mediators involved in preterm birth and may contribute to inflammatory processes related to spontaneous preterm labor. 相似文献

Interleukin-1 (IL-1) regulation of tPA in hepatocytes was studied in mouse hepatocyte line AML12. IL-1 induced transient accumulation of tPA mRNA as high as threefold by 2 h after the start of treatment. The cytokine also induced the mRNA for serum amyloid A, a typical acute-phase protein in mice, with more sustained kinetics in a time-dependent manner. In contrast to the induction of mRNA, tPA activity and protein levels in the harvested medium were dramatically diminished by IL-1. IL-1 stimulated the uptake of (125)I-tPA by AML 12. This uptake was inhibited by 39-kDa receptor-associated protein (RAP), but not by the sugar mannan. These results revealed that low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP), which is known to be a receptor for tPA and to be blocked by RAP, was up-regulated by IL-1. We also demonstrated, for the first time, that IL-1 transiently increased the mRNA level of LRP threefold by 30 min after the start of IL-1 treatment of AML 12. The receptor-mediated endocytosis of tPA by hepatocytes may thus play a crucial role in the down-regulation of fibrinolysis during the acute-phase response. 相似文献

AimExposure of macrophages to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces oxidative and inflammatory stresses, which cause cell damage. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties have been attributed to the nitrone spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO), commonly used in free radical analysis, but these aspects of DMPO have been little explored. In this study, we sought to establish the anti-inflammatory activity of DMPO, presumably by removing free radicals which otherwise help activate inflammatory response and damage cells.Main methodsRAW 264.7 macrophages were treated with LPS and/or DMPO for different time points, cell damage, production of inflammatory mediators, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression, NF-κB p65 activation, phosphorylation of MAPKs and Akt, and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were determined.Key findingsAfter cells were treated with LPS and/or DMPO for 24 h, DMPO reduced the LPS-induced inflammatory response as indicated by downregulated iNOS expression and production of inflammatory mediators. Accordingly, DMPO protected cells from LPS-induced cytotoxicity. In order to understand the mechanistic basis of these DMPO effects, the NF-κB p65 activation and the phosphorylation of MAPKs and Akt were examined. We found, by assaying cells treated with LPS and/or DMPO for 15–60 min, that DMPO inhibited the phosphorylation of MAPKs, Akt, and IκBα, and reduced the NF-κB p65 translocation. Furthermore, we demonstrated that DMPO inhibited LPS-induced ROS production.SignificanceDMPO showed the anti-inflammatory activity and attenuated LPS-induced cell damage, most likely by reducing ROS production and thus preventing the subsequent inflammatory activation and damage. 相似文献

Chronic activation of microglial cells endangers neuronal survival through the release of various proinflammatory and neurotoxic factors. Paeoniflorin (PF), a water-soluble monoterpene glycoside found in the root of Paeonia lactiflora Pall, has a wide range of pharmacological functions, such as anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer effects. Neuroprotective potential of PF has also been demonstrated in animal models of neuropathologies. Here, we have examined the efficacy of PF in the repression of inflammation-induced neurotoxicity and microglial inflammatory response. In organotypic hippocampal slice cultures, PF significantly blocked lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced hippocampal cell death and productions of nitric oxide (NO) and interleukin (IL)-1β. PF also inhibited the LPS-stimulated productions of NO, tumor necrosis factor-α, and IL-1β from primary microglial cells. These results suggest that PF possesses neuroprotective activity by reducing the production of proinflammatory factors from activated microglial cells. 相似文献

The intent of this study was to evaluate the active defense reaction of mouse mammary epithelial cells and the cytoprotective and anti-inflammatory properties of taurine to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced disfunction in mouse mammary epithelial cells. (1) Primary cultured mouse mammary epithelial cells were stimulated with LPS for 24 h (final concentration=0, 5, 10, 20 μg/mL). Western blotting demonstrated a significant decrease in the secretion of β-casein in the 20 μg/mL LPS treatment group (P<0.05), while nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), lactoferrin (LF) and N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAGase) were all significantly increased following LPS treatment (P<0.01). Furthermore, cell survival was significantly inhibited after treatment with 20 μg/mL LPS; however, neither 5 μg/mL nor 10 μg/mL LPS had any effect on cell survival. Therefore, a level of 10 μg/mL LPS was selected to test the protective effect of taurine on mouse mammary epithelial cells. (2) Primary cultured mouse mammary epithelial cells were treated with 0, 5, 15 or 45 mmol/L taurine for 3 h, followed by 10 μg/mL LPS for 24 h. Taurine significantly attenuated the LPS-induced increase in NAGase activity, NO concentrations and the level of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and LF. Taurine at 45 mmol/L markedly increased β-casein secretion in response to LPS-induced disfunction. This study demonstrated that the addition of taurine to a culture medium significantly inhibited the LPS-induced release of inflammatory factors and increased β-casein secretion from mammary epithelial cells, thereby providing a possible explanation for the protective effect proposed for taurine in the prevention of LPS-induced disfunction in mammary epithelial cells. 相似文献

Upon LPS exposure, mononuclear phagocytes produce TNF-alpha and IL-10, two cytokines with pro- and anti-inflammatory activities, respectively. We previously described that murine resident alveolar macrophages, which play a central role in the immunosurveillance of the lung alveoli, do not synthesize IL-10 in vivo or in vitro when exposed to LPS. In the present report we demonstrate that during lung inflammation induced by the intranasal administration of LPS, bronchoalveolar cells collected between days 3 and 5 are able to synthesize IL-10 when exposed to LPS. We also show that depletion of resident alveolar macrophages by an intratracheal instillation of liposome-encapsulated clodronate is followed by subsequent replenishment of the airspaces by mononuclear phagocytes. This is accompanied by the transient competence of cells for IL-10 production. The cell capacity to produce IL-10 is evident up to 3 days and then decreases. This led us to hypothesize that the alveolar environment contains a down-regulator of LPS-induced IL-10 synthesis by recently emigrating mononuclear phagocytes. We show that the surfactant protein A, an airspace protein that has known immunomodulatory activities, dramatically inhibits LPS-induced IL-10 formation by bone marrow-derived macrophages. These data show a difference between resident and inflammatory macrophages with respect to IL-10 synthesis. Moreover, this study highlights for the first time the inhibitory role of surfactant protein A in the anti-inflammatory activity of macrophages through inhibition of IL-10 production. 相似文献

In the present study, we examined the role of Staphylococcus aureus protein A (SpA) in inducing inflammatory response in human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs). Exposure of HCECs to SpA induces rapid NF-kappaB activation and secretion of proinflammatory cytokine/chemokines (TNF-alpha and IL-8) in both concentration and time-dependent manner. Challenge of HCECs with live SpA(-/-) mutant S. aureus strains resulted in significantly reduced production of the cytokines when compared to the wild-type S. aureus strain. SpA also elicited the activation of MAP Kinases P38, ERK, but not JNK, in HCECs. SpA-induced production of proinflammatory cytokine were completely blocked by the NF-kappaB and p38 inhibitors and partially inhibited by the Jnk inhibitor. Pretreatment with anti-TLR2 neutralizing antibody had no effect on SpA-induced inflammatory response in HCECs, suggesting that this response is independent of TLR2 signaling. Moreover, unlike TLR2 ligands, SpA failed to induce the expression of antimicrobial peptides (hBD2 and LL-37) in HCECs. These studies indicate that SpA is a S. aureus virulence factor that stimulates HCEC inflammatory response through a pathway distinct from TLR2 in HCECs. 相似文献

Inflammatory responses are complex events occurring when the host immune system fights against invading pathogens, which are double-edged swords requiring appropriate control. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), emerging as a new layer of gene-regulation mechanism, have been reported to have crucial effects on inflammation. In the current study, we identified miR-34a, previously known for its potent tumor suppressive role, to be a novel inflammation regulator. We found that the expression of miR-34a was downregulated in macrophages after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. MiR-34a mimics decreased, while the inhibition of miR-34a increased, the expression of inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in LPS treated RAW264.7 cells. Bioinformatics predictions revealed a potential binding site of miR-34a in 3' untranslated region (UTR) of Notch1 and it was further confirmed by luciferase assay. Moreover, both the mRNA and protein level of Notch1 were downregulated by miR-34a in RAW264.7. Subsequently, knockdown of Notch1 with either genetic or pharmacological inhibition exhibited similar effects as miR-34a mimics on LPS-induced macrophage inflammatory response. Furthermore, the NF-κB activation induced by LPS was also significantly suppressed by miR-34a. These results together identify, for the first time, miR-34a as a negative regulator in LPS-induced inflammation at least partially by targeting Notch1. Besides extending the knowledge of miR-34a from tumor suppressor to inflammation regulator, this study also provides an implication that compounds which can enhance miR-34a expression or miR-34a itself may hold a promise in anti-inflammatory drugs development. 相似文献

Madecassoside (MA), a triterpenoid product isolated from Centella asiatica, has been described to exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. The present study was undertaken to determine whether madecassoside (MA) is efficacious against collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in mice and its possible mechanisms. DBA/1J mice were immunized with bovine type II collagen and treated with MA (3, 10 and 30 mg/kg d, i.g.) from days 21 to 42 after immunization. Arthritis was evaluated by hind paw swelling, polyarthritis index, and histological examination. In vitro proliferation of spleen cells was examined using 3-[4,5-dimethylthylthiazol-2-yl]-2, 5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromide (MTT) assay. Plasma levels of cytokines tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10) and the expression of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in synovial tissues were also determined. The results showed that comparing with untreated CIA mice, treated with MA dose-dependently suppressed the clinical arthritis score and joints tissues pathological damage, reduced the proliferation of spleen cells, plasma levels of TNF-α and IL-6, synovial tissues PGE2 production and COX-2 protein expression, however, the expression of COX-1 in symovial tissues did not change and the plasma levels of IL-10 were increased. These results suggest that MA can effectively alleviate inflammatory response on CIA, and anti-inflammatory effects of MA can be attributed, at least partially, to the inhibition of pro-inflammatory mediators, including COX-2 expression, PGE2 production, TNF-α and IL-6 levels and the up-regulation anti-inflammatory molecule IL-10. 相似文献

IL-1 is of utmost importance in the host response to immunological challenges. We identified and functionally characterized two novel IL-1 ligands termed IL-1delta and IL-1epsilon. Northern blot analyses show that these IL-1s are highly abundant in embryonic tissue and tissues containing epithelial cells (i.e., skin, lung, and stomach). In extension, quantitative real-time PCR revealed that of human skin-derived cells, only keratinocytes but not fibroblasts, endothelial cells, or melanocytes express IL-1delta and epsilon. Levels of keratinocyte IL-1delta are approximately 10-fold higher than those of IL-1epsilon. In vitro stimulation of keratinocytes with IL-1beta/TNF-alpha significantly up-regulates the expression of IL-1epsilon mRNA, and to a lesser extent of IL-1delta mRNA. In NF-kappaB-luciferase reporter assays, we demonstrated that IL-1delta and epsilon proteins do not initiate a functional response via classical IL-1R pairs, which confer responsiveness to IL-1alpha and beta or IL-18. However, IL-1epsilon activates NF-kappaB through the orphan IL-1R-related protein 2 (IL-1Rrp2), whereas IL-1delta, which shows striking homology to IL-1 receptor antagonist, specifically and potently inhibits this IL-1epsilon response. In lesional psoriasis skin, characterized by chronic cutaneous inflammation, the mRNA expression of both IL-1 ligands as well as IL-1Rrp2 are increased relative to normal healthy skin. In total, IL-1delta and epsilon and IL-1Rrp2 may constitute an independent signaling system, analogous to IL-1alphabeta/receptor agonist and IL-1R1, that is present in epithelial barriers of our body and takes part in local inflammatory responses. 相似文献

v-Src transforms fibroblasts in vitro and causes tumor formation in the animal by tyrosine phosphorylation of critical cellular substrates. Exactly how v-Src interacts with these substrates remains unknown. One of its substrates, the adaptor protein Shc, is thought to play a crucial role during cellular transformation by v-Src by linking v-Src to Ras. We used Shc proteins with mutations in either the phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) or Src homology 2 domain to determine that phosphorylation of Shc in v-Src-expressing cells depends on the presence of a functional PTB domain. We purified a 100-kDa Shc PTB-binding protein from Src-transformed cells that was identified as the beta chain of the low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein LRP1. LRP1 acts as an import receptor for a variety of proteins and is involved in clearance of the beta-amyloid precursor protein. This study shows that LRP1 is tyrosine-phosphorylated in v-Src-transformed cells and that tyrosine-phosphorylated LRP1 binds in vivo and in vitro to Shc. The association between Shc and LRP1 may provide a mechanism for recruitment of Shc to the plasma membrane where it is phosphorylated by v-Src. It is at the membrane that Shc is thought to be involved in Ras activation. These observations further suggest that LRP1 could function as a signaling receptor and may provide new avenues to investigate its possible role during embryonal development and the onset of Alzheimer's disease. 相似文献
