Abstract: | We previously reported that uniaxial continuous stretch in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) induced interleukin-6 (IL-6) secretion via IB kinase (IKK)/nuclear factor-B (NF-B) activation. The aim of the present study was to clarify the upstream signaling mechanism responsible for this phenomenon. Stretch-induced IKK activation and IL-6 secretion were inhibited by application of 51 integrin-inhibitory peptide (GRGDNP), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor (LY-294002), phospholipase C- inhibitor (U-73122), or protein kinase C inhibitor (H7). Although depletion of intra- or extracellular Ca2+ pool using thapsigargin (TG) or EGTA, respectively, showed little effect, a TG-EGTA mixture significantly inhibited stretch-induced IKK activation and IL-6 secretion. An increase in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) upon continuous stretch was observed even in the presence of TG, EGTA, or GRGDNP, but not in a solution containing the TG-EGTA mixture, indicating that both integrin activation and [Ca2+]i rise are crucial factors for stretch-induced IKK activation and after IL-6 secretion in HUVECs. Furthermore, while PKC activity was inhibited by the TG-EGTA mixture, GRGDNP, LY-294002, or U-73122, PLC- activity was retarded by GRGDNP or LY-294002. These results indicate that continuous stretch-induced IL-6 secretion in HUVECs depends on outside-in signaling via integrins followed by a PI3-K-PLC--PKC-IKK-NF-B signaling cascade. Another crucial factor, [Ca2+]i increase, may at least be required to activate PKC needed for NF-B activation. nuclear factor-B; phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase; phospholipase C-; protein kinase C; intracellular Ca2+ concentration |
