Among a panel of 21 cytokines (IL-1alpha, -1beta, -2-13, and -15-18; interferon-gamma; granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor; and tumor necrosis factor alpha), we have recently observed that IL-17A is the most potent inducer for human beta-defensin 2 (hBD-2) in conducting airway epithelial cells (Kao, C. Y., Chen, Y., Thai, P., Wachi, S., Huang, F., Kim, C., Harper, R. W., and Wu, R. (2004) J. Immunol. 173, 3482-3491). The molecular basis of this regulation is not known. In this study, we demonstrated a coordinated degradation of inhibitory kappaB(IkappaB)-alpha followed by a nuclear translocation of p50 and p65 NF-kappaB subunits and their binding to NF-kappaB sites of hBD-2 promoter region. With site-directed mutagenesis, we demonstrated the requirement of two proximal NF-kappaB binding sites (pkappaB1, -205 to -186; pkappaB2, -596 to -572) but not the distal site (dkappaB, -2193 to -2182) in supporting IL-17A-induced hBD-2 promoter activity. These results are consistent with the data of the chromatin immunoprecipitation assay, which showed enhanced p50 binding to these pkappaB sites but not the dkappaB site in cells after IL-17A treatment. We also found that the NF-kappaB binding cofactor, IkappaB-zeta, was up-regulated by IL-17A, and the knockdown of IkappaB-zeta significantly diminished the IL-17A-induced hBD-2 expression. This is the first demonstration of the involvement of two proximal NF-kappaB sites and IkappaB-zeta in the regulation of hBD-2 by IL-17A, two important genes responsible for host defense. 相似文献

Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin is up-regulated in human epithelial cells by IL-1 beta, but not by TNF-alpha 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14

Synthesis of the antimicrobial protein neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) increases dramatically in bronchial epithelial cells and alveolear type II pneumocytes during lung inflammation. IL-1beta induces a >10-fold up-regulation of NGAL expression in the type II pneumocyte-derived cell line A549 cells, whereas TNF-alpha, IL-6, and LPS had no effect. Similar IL-1beta selectivity was demonstrated in primary bronchial epithelial cells and epidermal keratinocytes and for an NGAL promoter fragment transfected into A549 cells. By deletion and substitution analysis of the NGAL promoter, a 40-bp region containing an NF-kappaB consensus site was found to control the IL-1beta-specific up-regulation. Involvement of the NF-kappaB site was demonstrated by site-directed mutagenesis, by transfection with a dominant-negative inhibitor of the NF-kappaB pathway, and by EMSA. TNF-alpha activation of NF-kappaB, in contrast, did not increase NGAL synthesis, even though induced binding of NF-kappaB to the NGAL promoter was observed in vitro. IL-1beta specificity was not contained within the NF-kappaB site of the NGAL promoter, as determined by exchanging the NGAL promoter's NF-kappaB-binding sequence with that of the IL-8 promoter or with the NF-kappaB consensus sequence and by testing the NF-kappaB-binding sequence of the NGAL promoter against the heterologous SV40 promoter. Selectivity for the IL-1 pathway was substantiated by demonstrating that NGAL promoter activity could be induced by LPS stimulation of A549 cells transiently expressing Toll-like receptor 4, which use the same intracellular signaling pathway as the IL-1R. Together, this demonstrates a selective up-regulation of NGAL by the IL-1 pathway. 相似文献

IL-9 is a Th2 cytokine that exerts pleiotropic activities on T cells, B cells, mast cells, hematopoietic progenitors, and lung epithelial cells, but no effect of this cytokine has been reported so far on mononuclear phagocytes. Human blood monocytes preincubated with IL-9 for 24 h before LPS or PMA stimulation exhibited a decreased oxidative burst, even in the presence of IFN-gamma. The inhibitory effect of IL-9 was specifically abolished by anti-hIL-9R mAb, and the presence of IL-9 receptors was demonstrated on human blood monocytes by FACS. IL-9 also down-regulated TNF-alpha and IL-10 release by LPS-stimulated monocytes. In addition, IL-9 strongly up-regulated the production of TGF-beta1 by LPS-stimulated monocytes. The suppressive effect of IL-9 on the respiratory burst and TNF-alpha production in LPS-stimulated monocytes was significantly inhibited by anti-TGF-beta1, but not by anti-IL-10Rbeta mAb. Furthermore, IL-9 inhibited LPS-induced activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 mitogen-activated protein kinases in monocytes through a TGF-beta-mediated induction of protein phosphatase activity. In contrast, IL-4, which exerts a similar inhibitory effect on the oxidative burst and TNF-alpha release by monocytes, acts primarily through a down-regulation of LPS receptors. Thus, IL-9 deactivates LPS-stimulated blood mononuclear phagocytes, and the mechanism of inhibition involves the potentiation of TGF-beta1 production and extracellular signal-regulated kinase inhibition. These findings highlight a new target cell for IL-9 and may account for the beneficial activity of IL-9 in animal models of exaggerated inflammatory response. 相似文献

Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated immune responses, including activation of monocytes, macrophages, and endothelial cells, play an important role in the pathogenesis of Gram-negative bacteria-induced sepsis syndrome. Activation of NF-kappaB is thought to be required for cytokine release from LPS-responsive cells, a critical step for endotoxic effects. Here we investigated the role and involvement of interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) signal transducer molecules in LPS signaling in human dermal microvessel endothelial cells (HDMEC) and THP-1 monocytic cells. LPS stimulation of HDMEC and THP-1 cells initiated an IL-1 receptor-like NF-kappaB signaling cascade. In transient cotransfection experiments, dominant negative mutants of the IL-1 signaling pathway, including MyD88, IRAK, IRAK2, and TRAF6 inhibited both IL-1- and LPS-induced NF-kappaB-luciferase activity. LPS-induced NF-kappaB activation was not inhibited by a dominant negative mutant of TRAF2 that is involved in TNF signaling. LPS-induced activation of NF-kappaB-responsive reporter gene was not inhibited by IL-1 receptor antagonist. TLR2 and TLR4 were expressed on the cell surface of HDMEC and THP-1 cells. These findings suggest that a signal transduction molecule in the LPS receptor complex may belong to the IL-1 receptor/toll-like receptor (TLR) super family, and the LPS signaling cascade uses an analogous molecular framework for signaling as IL-1 in mononuclear phagocytes and endothelial cells. 相似文献

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) increases the production of interleukin-12 (IL-12) from mouse macrophages via a kappaB site within the IL-12 p40 promoter. In this study, we found that oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL) inhibited this LPS-stimulated production of IL-12 in a dose-dependent manner while native LDL did not. OxLDL inhibited p40 promoter activation in monocytic RAW264.7 cells transiently transfected with p40 promoter/reporter constructs, and the repressive effect mapped to a region in the p40 promoter containing a binding site for nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) (p40-kappaB). Activation of macrophages by LPS in the presence of oxLDL resulted in markedly reduced binding to the kappaB site, as demonstrated by the electrophoretic mobility shift assays. In contrast, native LDL did not inhibit the IL-12 p40 promoter activation and NF-kappaB binding to the kappaB sites, suggesting that oxidative modification of LDL was crucial for the inhibition of NF-kappaB-mediated IL-12 production. 9-Hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid, a major oxidized lipid component of oxLDL, significantly inhibited IL-12 production in LPS-stimulated mouse macrophages and also suppressed NF-kappaB-mediated activation in IL-12 p40 promoter. The NF-kappaB components p50 and p65 directly bound peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma) in vitro. In cotransfections of CV-1 and HeLa cells, PPAR-gamma inhibited the NF-kappaB transactivation in an oxLDL-dependent manner. From these results, we propose that oxLDL-mediated suppression of the IL-12 production from LPS-activated mouse macrophages may, at least in part, involve both inhibition of the NF-kappaB-DNA interactions and physical interactions between NF-kappaB and PPAR-gamma. 相似文献

Astaxanthin, a carotenoid without vitamin A activity, has shown anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities; however, its molecular action and mechanism have not been elucidated. We examined in vitro and in vivo regulatory function of astaxanthin on production of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) as well as expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta). Astaxanthin inhibited the expression or formation production of these proinflammatory mediators and cytokines in both lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells and primary macrophages. Astaxanthin also suppressed the serum levels of NO, PGE2, TNF-alpha, and IL-1beta in LPS-administrated mice, and inhibited NF-kappaB activation as well as iNOS promoter activity in RAW264.7 cells stimulated with LPS. This compound directly inhibited the intracellular accumulation of reactive oxygen species in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells as well as H2O2-induced NF-kappaB activation and iNOS expression. Moreover, astaxanthin blocked nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB p65 subunit and I(kappa)B(alpha) degradation, which correlated with its inhibitory effect on I(kappa)B kinase (IKK) activity. These results suggest that astaxanthin, probably due to its antioxidant activity, inhibits the production of inflammatory mediators by blocking NF-kappaB activation and as a consequent suppression of IKK activity and I(kappa)B-alpha degradation. 相似文献

We have been interested in elucidating how simultaneous stimuli modulate inflammation-related signal transduction pathways in lung parenchymal cells. We previously demonstrated that exposing respiratory epithelial cells to 95% oxygen (hyperoxia) synergistically increased tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-mediated activation of NF-kappaB and NF-kappaB-dependent gene expression by a mechanism involving increased activation of IkappaB kinase (IKK). Because the signal transduction mechanisms induced by IL-1beta are distinct to that of TNF-alpha, herein we sought to determine whether hyperoxia modulates IL-1beta-dependent signal transduction. In A549 cells, simultaneous treatment with hyperoxia and IL-1beta caused increased activation of IKK, prolonged the degradation of IkappaBalpha, and prolonged the nuclear translocation and DNA binding of NF-kappaB compared with cells treated with IL-1beta alone in room air. Hyperoxia did not affect IL-1beta-dependent degradation of the interleukin receptor-associated kinase differently from treatment with IL-beta alone. In contrast to the effects on the IKK/IkappaBalpha/NF-kappaB pathway, simultaneous treatment with hyperoxia and IL-1beta did not augment NF-kappaB-dependent gene expression compared with treatment with IL-1beta alone. Similar observations were made in a different human respiratory epithelial cell line, BEAS-2B cells. In addition, simultaneous treatment with hyperoxia and IL-1beta caused hyperphosphorlyation of the NF-kappaB p65 subunit compared with treatment with IL-1beta alone. In summary, concomitant treatment of A549 cells with hyperoxia and IL-1beta augments activation of IKK, prolongs degradation of IkappaBalpha, and prolongs nuclear translocation and DNA binding of NF-kappaB. This activation, however, is not coupled to increased expression of NF-kappaB-dependent genes, and the mechanism of this decoupling is not related to decreased phosphorylation of p65. 相似文献

The cytokines interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) are released by mononuclear phagocytes in vitro after stimulation with mycobacteria and are considered to mediate pathophysiologic events, including granuloma formation and systemic symptoms. We demonstrated that the Mycobacterium tuberculosis cell wall component lipoarabinomannan (LAM) is a very potent inducer of IL-1 beta gene expression in human monocytes and investigated the mechanism of this effect. We localized the LAM-, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-, and TNF-alpha-inducible promoter activity to a -131/+15 (positions -131 to +15) DNA fragment of the IL-1 beta gene by deletion analysis and chloramphenicol acetyltransferase assay. Within this DNA fragment, there were two novel 9-bp motifs (-90/-82 and -40/-32) with high homology to the nuclear factor-IL6 (NF-IL6) binding site. Site-directed mutagenesis demonstrated that the two NF-IL-6 motifs could be independently activated by LAM, LPS, or TNF-alpha and that they acted in an orientation-independent manner. DNA mobility shift assay revealed specific binding of nuclear protein(s) from LAM-, LPS-, or TNF-alpha-stimulated THP-1 cells to the NF-IL6 motifs. We conclude that the two NF-IL6 sites mediate induction of IL-1 beta in response to the stimuli LAM, LPS, and TNF-alpha. 相似文献

Intensive use of corticosteroids may be accompanied by increased susceptibility to infections; hence, we investigated the effects of dexamethasone on the expression of antimicrobial peptides, termed human beta-defensins (hBD), by cultured bronchial epithelial cells and mononuclear phagocytes. The results revealed that dexamethasone inhibited the (stimulated) expression of mRNA for hBD-3, but not hBD-1 and hBD-2 by these epithelial cells. Dexamethasone did not affect the (stimulated) mRNA expression of hBD-1 and hBD-2 by mononuclear phagocytes, whereas these cells did not express hBD-3 mRNA. 相似文献

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is associated with severe neutrophilic airway inflammation. We showed that moxifloxacin (MXF) inhibits IL-8 and MAPK activation in monocytic and respiratory epithelial cells. Azithromycin (AZM) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) are used clinically in CF. Thus we now examined effects of MXF, CIP, and AZM directly on CF cells. IB3, a CF bronchial cell line, and corrected C38 cells were treated with TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, or LPS with or without 5-50 microg/ml MXF, CIP, or AZM. IL-6 and IL-8 secretion (ELISA), MAPKs ERK1/2, JNK, p38, and p65 NF-kappaB (Western blot) activation were measured. Baseline IL-6 was sixfold higher in IB3 than C38 cells but IL-8 was similar. TNF-alpha and IL-1beta increased IL-6 and IL-8 12- to 67-fold with higher levels in IB3 than C38 cells post-TNF-alpha (P < 0.05). Levels were unchanged following LPS. Baseline phosphorylated form of ERK1/2 (p-ERK1/2), JNK, and NF-kappaB p65 were higher in IB3 than C38 cells (5-, 1.4-, and 1.4-fold), and following TNF-alpha increased, as did the p-p38, by 1.6- to 2-fold. MXF (5-50 microg/ml) and CIP (50 microg/ml), but not AZM, suppressed IL-6 and IL-8 secretion by up to 69%. MXF inhibited TNF-alpha-stimulated MAPKs ERK1/2, 46-kDa JNK, and NF-kappaB up to 60%, 40%, and 40%, respectively. In contrast, MXF did not inhibit p38 activation, implying a highly selective pretranslational effect. In conclusion, TNF-alpha and IL-1beta induce an exaggerated inflammatory response in CF airway cells, inhibited by MXF more than by CIP or AZM. Clinical trials are recommended to assess efficacy in CF and other chronic lung diseases. 相似文献

The immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects of thalidomide are associated with inhibition of TNF-alpha levels. However, the mechanism by which thalidomide reduces TNF-alpha production remains elusive. NF-kappaB is known to play a central role in regulating inflammatory responses in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We tested whether thalidomide acts through inhibiting NF-kappaB activity. HT-29 cells were stimulated with LPS (1 microg/ml) alone, or after pretreatment with thalidomide (100 microg/ml), and NF-kappaB activity was determined by gel mobility shift assays. RT-PCR was used to measure expression of the proinflammatory cytokine genes TNF-alpha, IL-1beta and IL-8. The level of TNF-alpha mRNA was also analyzed by real-time quantitative RT-PCR, and TNF-alpha protein was measured by ELISA. Thalidomide pretreatment did not affect NF-kappaB activity in HT-29 cells stimulated with LPS but production of TNF-alpha was depressed. Thalidomide was found to accelerate the degradation of TNF-alpha mRNA, but had little effect on IL-1beta or IL-8. These observations suggest that the immunomodulatory effect of thalidomide in colonic epithelial cells is associated with inhibition of TNF-alpha. However, it does not act by inhibiting NF-kappaB but rather by inducing degradation of TNF-alpha mRNA. 相似文献
