AIM: To explore the effect of recombinamt rat CC16 protein (rCC16) on LPS-induced expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-8 in the rat tracheal epithelial (RTE) cells.METHODS: The RTE cells were incubated with rCC16 at concentrations of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/L in serum-free media for 2 h prior to LPS (0.1 mg/L) treatment for further 24 h. The cells were harvested for assessing the mRNA levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 by RT-qPCR. The cell culture supernatants were collected for analyzing the protein levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 by ELISA. In addition, the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65 was tested by Western blot.RESULTS: rCC16 inhibited LPS-induced IL-6 and IL-8 expression at both mRNA and protein levels in the RTE cells in a concentration-dependent (0~2 mg/L) manner, as demonstrated by RT-qPCR and ELISA. However, no concentration-dependent manner between the dose of rCC16 and TNF-α expression was observed, and rCC16 inhibited LPS-induced TNF-α expression at lower concentration (0.5 mg/L). rCC16 concentration-dependently inhibited the effects of LPS on the level of nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65.CONCLUSION: rCC16 suppresses LPS-mediated TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 production through inactivation of NF-κB activity in RTE cells.[KEY WORDS] CC16 protein; Airway inflammation; LPS; Inflammatory mediators; Nuclear factor-κB 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of NOD8 on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced releases of nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in RAW264.7 cells. METHODS: The plasmids of pEGFP-C2 and pEGFP-NOD8 were transfected into RAW264.7 cells respectively. The transfected and non-transfected cells were stimulated by LPS for 0, 6, 12 and 24 h. NO production was evaluated by Griess reagent assay, and the levels of IL-1β and TNF-α were measured by ELISA. The protein expression of NOD8 and the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) p65 subunit were detected by Western blotting. The level of activated caspase-1 was determined by fluorimetric method. RESULTS: Compared with pEGFP-C2 group, the protein expression of NOD8 was significantly elevated in pEGFP-NOD8+LPS group. The releases of NO, IL-1β and TNF-α were obviously increased after RAW264.7 cells were treated with LPS for 6 h, 12 h and 24 h, and while the secretion of NO was significantly reduced in the cells transfected with pEGFP-NOD8 and induced by LPS for 12 h and 24 h, and the release of IL-1β was also significantly reduced at 6 h, 12 h and 24 h. However, no significant difference of TNF-α release was observed between pEGFP-C2+LPS group and pEGFP-NOD8+LPS group. The activation of caspase-1 in RAW264.7 cells stimulated with LPS for 6 h, 12 h and 24 h was markedly increased, and the expression of NF-κB p65 subunit in the cytoplasm was significantly decreased, indicating that p65 nuclear translocation was increased. In addition, the activation of caspase-1 and the nuclear translocation of p65 were significantly inhibited in pEGFP-NOD8+LPS group. CONCLUSION: NOD8 suppresses the releases of LPS-induced NO and IL-1β in RAW264.7 cells by inhibiting the activation of caspase-1 and NF-κB. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of artemisinin on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced intestinal epithelial barrier damage in IEC-6 cells and its molecular mechanism. METHODS: Cultured IEC-6 cells were divided to 5 groups: control group, LPS(100 mg/L) group and LPS+Artemisinin(30, 50 and 100 μmol/L) groups. The cytotoxicity was detected by MTT assay. The releases of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in the IEC-6 cells were measured by ELISA. The transepithelial electrical resistance(TER) was detected by electrical resistance tester, and the horseradish peroxidase(HRP) flux permeability were analyzed by a microplate reader. The expression of tight junction proteins, ZO-1, claudin-1 and occludin, and the expression of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB at mRNA and protein levels were determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot. RESULTS: Artemisinin alone(up to 100 μmol/L) or in combination with LPS(100 mg/L) was not toxic to IEC-6 cells. Compared with control group, the releases of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in the culture supernatant of IEC-6 cells significantly increased after treatment with LPS. The expression of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB was activated by LPS. LPS down-regulated the protein expression of ZO-1, claudin-1 and occludin. However, artemisinin treatment decreased the releases of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in the culture supernatant of IEC-6 cells. The expression of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB at mRNA and protein levels was gradually reduced after treatment with artemisinin. In addition, artemisinin upregulated the protein expression of ZO-1, claudin-1 and occludin significantly(P<0.01) in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSION: Artemisinin attenuates LPS-induced intestinal epithelial barrier damage by inhibiting TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB activation in the IEC-6 cells. 相似文献

ATM: To investigate the effects of Huaiyu decoctum on the serum concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 in rats after anorectal operation. METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats (n=40) were randomly divided into 4 groups:normal group, model group, low-dose Huaiyu decoctum group and high-dose Huaiyu decoctum group. The concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 in the rat serum were measured by ELISA. The pathologic changes of the anorectal tissues were observed under microscope with HE staining. The protein expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and NF-κB was determined by Western blotting. RESULTS: After Huaiyu decoctum administration, TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations in the serum were significantly decreased, and IL-10 concentration was increased as compared with model group. Moreover, Huaiyu decoctum markedly attenuated edema and hyperemia in the rats after anorectal operation. The protein expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and NF-κB in the anorectal tissues was obviously inhibited by Huaiyu decoctum treatment. CONCLUSION: Huaiyu decoctum improves the recovery of anorectal tissues after operation by decreasing the serum concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10, and reducing the protein expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and NF-κB in the anorectal tissues. 相似文献

AIM: To study the effect of NF-κB decoy oligodeoxynucleotides(ODNs) on TLR4 and IL-8 expression in LPS-induced SW480 cells. METHODS: SW480 cells were cultured in vitro and stimulated for 3 h with LPS (10 μg/L). NF-κB decoy oligodeoxynucleotides mediated by lipofectin 2000 were added into the cell culture for 6 h. The supernatants were collected and messured for IL-8 by ELISA. TLR4 mRNA and IL-8 mRNA were examined by RT-PCR, respectively. The results were compared with control group, Scrambled ODNs group and lipofectin 2000 group. RESULTS: After SW480 cells were stimulated by LPS, TLR4 mRNA, IL-8 mRNA and IL-8 expressions were significantly increased, and the difference compared with control group was obvious. After treated with NF-κB decoy oligodeoxynucleotides, TLR4 mRNA, IL-8 mRNA and IL-8 expressions were significantly inhibited. The Scrambled ODNs group and lipofectin 2000 group had no effect on them. CONCLUSION: NF-κB decoy ODNs will become a new gene drug for treating inflammatory bowel disease(IBD). 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of NF-κB decoy oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) on apoptosis in lung cancer cell A549. METHODS: The treatments of lung cancer cells (A549) were divided into three groups: group A (control group); group B (decoy ODN group) and group C (scramble decoy ODN group). FITC-labeled NF-κB decoy ODNs was transfected into A549 with LipofectAMINETM2000. The activation was observed by electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA). The proliferation was observed by growth curve. The apoptosis of cells were observed by flow cytometry and TdT mediated dUTP-biotin Nick End Labeling (TUNEL). The expression of Bcl-2 and Fas were observed by Western blot. RESULTS: After FITC-labeled decoy ODNs was transfected for 1 hour, the decoy ODNs was detected in the nuclei of A549 cells. EMSA performed the depression of the NF-κB binding to the nucleus. The growth curve showed the inhibition of the A549 cell growth and the percentage of apoptosis was increased compare with control group by flow cytometry and TUNEL. The amount of apoptosis inhibitor (Bcl-2) in group A and group C were 2.0 times and 2.1 times more than that in group B, respectively. The level of apoptosis accelerator (Fas) in group B were 2.6 times and 2.3 times more than that in group A and group C, respectively via Western blot. CONCLUSION: The NF-κB decoy ODNs accelerate the apoptosis of lung cancer cell A549 and the mechanism may be due to its inhibiting the expression of Bcl-2 and increasing the level of Fas. 相似文献

AIM：To investigate whether hydrogen sulfide (H2S) attenuates doxorubicin (DOX)-induced inflammation and cytotoxicity in rat cardiomyocytes (H9c2 cells) by modulating nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) pathway. METHODS：The expression of NF-κB p65 was measured by western blotting. The secretion levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Cell viability was detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Hoechst 33258 nuclear staining was used to detect the morphological changes and number of apoptotic cells. RESULTS：Treatment of H9c2 cells with 5 μmol/L DOX significantly up-regulated the expression level of phosphorylated NF-κB p65 (p-p65), and induced inflammation and cytotoxicity, as evidenced by increases in secretion levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α and number of apoptotic cells as well as a decrease in cell viability. Pretreatment of H9c2 cells with 400 μmol/L NaHS (a donor of H2S) for 30 min markedly depressed the up-regulation of p-p65 expression induced by DOX. In addition, NaHS pretreatment also reduced DOX-induced inflammatory response and injury, leading to decreases in IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α secretion and number of apoptotic cells as well as an increase in cell viability. Similar to the effect of NaHS, pretreatment with 100 μmol/L pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), an inhibitor of NF-κB, also blocked DOX-induced cardiac inflammation and cytotoxicity. Co-administration of IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) and DOX reduced DOX-induced activation of NF-κB and cytotoxicity in H9c2 cells. CONCLUSION：During the DOX-induced cardiomyocyte inflammation, there is positive interaction between NF-κB pathway and IL-1β. H2S may protect cardiomyocytes against DOX-induced inflammatory response and cytotoxicity by inhibiting NF-κB pathway. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect and potential mechanism of microRNA-181a (miR-181a) on cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-induced the productions of pro-inflammatory factors and the expression of collagen IV, fibronectin and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs). METHODS: CSE-induced miR-181a expression was detected by RT-qPCR in the HBECs. After tansfected with miR-181a mimic, the releases of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6 and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) were measured by ELISA, the protein expression of collagen IV, fibronectin and α-SMA was determined by Western blot. The activation of NF-κB/TGF-β1/Smad3 pathway was also evaluated by Western blot. RESULTS: CSE increased the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and TGF-β1 and the expression of collagen IV, fibronectin and α-SMA, and decreased the expression of miR-181a in the HBECs (P<0.05). However, transfected with miR-181a mimic partially prevented the releases of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and TGF-β1, and inhibited the expression of collagen IV, fibronectin and α-SMA (P<0.05). Additionally, the activation of NF-κB/TGF-β1/Smad3 evoked by CSE was attenuated after transfected with miR-181a mimic. CONCLUSION: Up-regulation of miR-181a prevents the releases of CSE-induced pro-inflammatory factors and expression of collagen IV, fibronectin and α-SMA in the HBECs, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of NF-κB/TGF-β1/Smad3 pathway. 相似文献

AIM: To explore the effects of sodium ferulate (SF) on function of macrophages in colonic tissue of the colitis rats in vivo. METHODS: The immunological colitis model of rats was produced. SF was used intracolonically for 21 days. The contents of malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), interleukin-1 (IL-1), TNF-α, myelopexoxidase (MPO), and the expression level of NF-κB p65 in colonic tissue of the rats were detected. RESULTS: SF (200,400,800 mg/kg) decreased the elevated contents of MDA, NO, PGE2, the activity of IL-1, TNF-α, MPO, and the expression level of NF-κB p65, while increased the reduced activity of SOD in colonic tissue of the colitis rats in a dose-depended manner. CONCLUSION: SF restrained the activity of activated colonic macrophages and relieved the colonic inflammation reaction in vivo in colitis rats, which may be related to the suppression of NF-κB activation. 相似文献

AIM:To investigate the role of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) stable expression in myocardial inflammatory injury induced by ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) in rats. METHODS:Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:sham operation (sham) group, I/R group, HIF-1α stabilizer dimethyloxalyl glycine (DMOG)+I/R group and HIF-1α inhibitor YC-1+I/R group. The protein expression of myocardial Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) was determined by Western blot. The mRNA levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-6, TLR4 and NF-κB were detected by real-time PCR. The myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in the myocardial tissues was measured. HE staining was used to observe the infiltration of inflammatory cells. RESULTS:HIF-1α decreased the infiltration of inflammatory cells, the MPO activity, and the mRNA levels of inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in the myocardial tissues. HIF-1α also reduced the expression of TLR4 and NF-κB at mRNA and protein levels (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:The stable expression of HIF-1α has an anti-inflammatory effect on the myocardial tissues after I/R injury in rats. The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of microRNA-132 (miR-132) transfection on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in rat alveolar macrophages. METHODS: The rat alveolar macrophage NR8383 cultured without pyrogen in vitrowere divided into blank control group, negative control group and transfected group. The cells in the 3 groups were transfected with phosphate buffer solution (PBS), Lipofectamine 2000 and synthesized miR-132 mimic respectively. The cell proliferation was detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-132 in the cells. After NR8383 cells were stimulated with LPS for 6 h, the NF-κB DNA-binding activity was measured by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). The expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in NR8383 cells was assayed by Western blotting.RESULTS: After transfection, the expression of miR-132 was significantly higher than that in blank control group and negative control group. The growth of NR8383 cells in transfected group was significantly inhibited compared with blank control group and negative control group (P<0.05). After the cells were stimulated with LPS, the productions of NF-κB, TNF-α and IL-6 in transfected NR8383 cells were decreased compared with blank control group and negative control group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Transfection of alveolar macrophages with miR-132 significantly suppresses the cell growth, and inhibits inflammatory responses induced by LPS. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of taurine on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced myocardial damage in rats. METHODS: Healthy male SD rats (n=30) were randomly divided into control group (CON), LPS model group (LPS) and taurine treatment group (TAU). The rats in CON group and LPS group were intravenously injected with normal saline, and the rats in TAU group were injected with taurine (100 mg/kg). After 2 h, the rats in LPS group and TAU group were intraperitoneally injected with LPS at 10 mg/kg, and the rats in CON group were injected with normal saline. Six hours after injection of LPS, the blood samples were collected for determination of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels. The myocardial tissues were processed for histological examination and the analysis of Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with CON group, LPS significantly reduced SOD activity in the serum and heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) protein expression in the myocardial tissues, increased the serum content of MDA and levels of TNF-α and IL-6. LPS also significantly elevated the levels of TNF-α and IL-6, and up-regulated the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and phosphorylation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) in the myocardial tissues. Taurine pretreatment significantly elevated SOD activity and HO-1 protein expression level, decreased the levels of COX-2, TNF-α, IL-6 and phosphorylated NF-κB. Histological observation showed that taurine reduced inflammatory response in the myocardial tissue. CONCLUSION: Taurine attenuates LPS-induced myocardial damage in rats. The beneficial effects of taurine may be associated with its reduction of p-NF-κB/COX-2 signaling by activation of HO-1/CO. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the role of TLRs/NF-κB pathway in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) rats treated with tripterygium glycosides (TG) + dexamethasone (DX). METHODS: Lewis rats were used in the study and divided into control group, EAE model group, therapy 1 group (EAE rats treated with DX) and therapy 2 group (EAE rats treated with DX+TG). The mean clinical score of the rats was determined. The expression of TLR4 and TLR9 at mRNA and protein levels was detected by the methods of real-time quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. The protein level of NF-κB p65 was also measured. The levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 were assayed by ELISA. RESULTS: The mean clinical scores at 5th, 16th and 20th day were lower in therapy 1 group and therapy 2 group than that in EAE model group. The mean clinical score in therapy 2 group was even lower than that in therapy 1 group. At the 16th day (the peaking period), the mRNA expression of TLR4 and TLR9 in therapy 1 group and therapy 2 group were obviously lower than that in EAE model group. The protein levels of TLR4, TLR9 and NF-κB p65 were also significantly lower in therapy 1 group and therapy 2 group than those in EAE model group at peak stage of EAE. The levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 were lower in therapy1 group and therapy2 group than those in EAE model group. The significant differences of the mean clinical score, the mRNA expression of TLR4 and TLR9, the positive ratio of NF-κB p65 and the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 between therapy 1 group and therapy 2 group were found. The result of orthogonal factorial analysis of variance indicated that the difference of therapeutic effect between DX and DX+TG was significant (F=75.749, P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The TLRs/NF-κB pathway takes part in the pathological process of EAE. TG combined with DX alleviates the symptoms of EAE by suppressing inflammatory and immunological reactions of EAE. 相似文献

AIM: To study the role of amifostine on the formation of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP)-induced abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in C57BL/6J mice and the underlying mechanism. METHODS: RAW246.7 mononuclear macrophage in vitro were divided into control group, DMSO group, BaP group, low dose (1 μmol/L) amfostine treated group, middle dose (5 μmol/L) amfostine treated group and high dose (25μmol/L) amfostine treated group. The influence of BaP on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, MMP-12, TNF-α, NF-κB in the RAW246.7 mononuclear macrophages in vitro was determined by Western blot. Male C57BL/6J mice (8 months old) were divided into control group, model group (AngII+BaP group), low dose (50 mg/kg) amfostine treated group and high dose (100 mg/kg) amfostine treated group. After 6 weeks, the abdominal aorta were isolated. The aortic tissues were subjected to HE and Masson staining. The vascular wall structure, infiltration of macrophage, the expression of MMP-9, MMP-12, TNF-α, NF-κB were evaluated by Western blot and immunochemistry staining. RESULTS: Amifostine attenuated BaP-induced expression of TNF-α, MMP-9, MMP-12, NF-κB in the RAW246.7 mononuclear macrophages (P<0.05). The results of animal experiments showed that the incidence of AAA in high dose amifostine treated group were significantly lower than that in low dose amifostine treated group and model group (P<0.05). Immunohistochemistry staining observation showed that amifostine inhibited the aortic macrophage infiltration more obviously in high amifostine treated group compared with model group and low dose amifostine treated group (P<0.05). Compared with model group and low dose amifostine treated group, the MMP-9, MMP-12, TNF-α and NF-κB expression of abdominal aorta in high amifostine treated group was reduced significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Amifostine inhibits BaP-induced activation of macrophages, and also prevents the formation of abdominal aortic aneurysm in C57BL/6J mice induced by BaP by inhibition of the NF-κB pathway, macrophage infiltration and the expression of TNF-α and MMPs. 相似文献

AIM:To observe the effects of angiopoietin 4 (Ang-4) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced injury of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). METHODS:The EnVision immunohistochemical method was used to identify the HUVECs. After pre-treated with different doses of Ang-4 for 0.5 h, HUVECs was exposed to LPS at concentration of 10 mg/L for 24 h. The cell viability was evaluated by MTT assay. The content of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in the supernatant and the concentrations of intracellular and supernatant von Willebrand factor (vWF) were detected by ELISA. The mRNA levels of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), NF-κB p65 and TNF-α were determined by real-time PCR. RESULTS:Factor Ⅷ in the cytoplasm was positive in the HUVECs.Compared with normal group, LPS reduced the cell viability (P<0.01), and significantly increased the secretion of TNF-α and vWF (P<0.01). The mRNA expression of TLR4, NF-κB p65 and TNF-α also increased (P<0.01). Ang-4 at concentration of 100 μg/L enhanced the cell viability (P<0.01), reduced the content of vWF and TNF-α, and inhibited the LPS-induced increases in the mRNA levels of TLR4, NF-κB p65 and TNF-α (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Ang-4 antagonizes LPS-induced damage in HUVECs by inhibiting TLR4-NF-κB p65-TNF-α signaling pathways. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the role of TNF-α and NF-κB in the mechanism of neuropathic pain due to chronically compressed dorsal root ganglion (CCD).METHODS: Based on the CCD model, von Frey filaments were used to quantify behavior test. The expression changes of TNF-α and NF-κB were determined by Western blotting, and the correlation between the expression of TNF-α and the 50% paw withdrawal threshold was also analyzed. Moreover, the location of TNF-α in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) was observed with immunofluorescence double staining.RESULTS: We found 50% paw withdrawal threshold of CCD decreased at the first day after operation. The mechanical allodynia was the most obvious at postoperative 7~14 d and lasted longer than 35 d. The expression of TNF-α and NF-κB increased significantly in DRG after operation (P<0.01), especially at 7~14 d, and then restored gradually. Moreover, there was a correlation between the protein expression of TNF-α and the changes of neuropathic behavior (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: TNF-α and NF-κB are involved in the mechanism of mechanical allodynia after chronically compressed DRG. 相似文献
