| Abstract: | The effects of recombinant murine interleukin (IL)-1beta on gene expression of murine bradykinin B1 receptor (BDKRB1) in MH-S murine alveolar macrophage cell line were evaluated. BDKRB1 mRNA expression in MH-S cells was increased by IL-1beta (1, 3, and 10 ng/ml) in a time-dependent manner, peaking at 3-4 h by 100-1000 fold. IL-1beta (5 ng/ml, 24h) also induced significant binding to 3H]-des-Arg10-kallidin with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 2.95 nM and a maximal binding density (Bmax) of 670 sites/cell. Des-Arg10-kallidin (10 microM), a BDKRB1 agonist, increased intracellular calcium ion (Ca2+]i) in IL-1beta (5 ng/ml, 24 h)-exposed cells, an increase not observed in the cells not exposed to IL-1beta. A significant increase of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha secretion occurred in the IL-1beta (5 ng/ml, 24 h)-exposed cells following addition of des-Arg10-kallidin (the IL-1beta-exposed group: 57. 8 +/- 13.7 vs. the vehicle-exposed group: 16.7 +/- 4.3 pg/ml, p < 0.05 after a 100 nM des-Arg10-kallidin for 8 h), with an optimal effect at 3-100 nM. These data suggest that IL-1beta may up-regulate BDKRB1-mediated functions of alveolar macrophages via an induction of BDKRB1 gene expression. |
