Macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha (MIP-1alpha) and MIP-1beta are known for their chemotactic and proinflammatory effects on monocytes/macrophages which have a cysteinyl leukotriene 1 (CysLT(1)) receptor.
We examined MIP-1alpha and MIP-1beta production stimulated by CysLTs (LTC(4), LTD(4), and LTE(4)) in THP-1 cells, a human monocytic leukemia cell line, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Moreover, we examined the inhibitory effect of pranlukast, a CysLT(1) receptor antagonist, and inhibitors of three major mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) on the induction of MIP-1alpha and MIP-1beta production by CysLTs.
ELISA demonstrated that CysLTs induced MIP-1alpha and MIP-1beta production in THP-1 cells and PBMCs. PCR demonstrated that LTD(4) increased MIP-1alpha and MIP-1beta mRNA expressions in THP-1 cells. Pranlukast blocked MIP-1alpha and MIP-1beta production promoted by LTD(4) in THP-1 cells and PBMCs. Moreover, an inhibitor of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) attenuated the induction of MIP-1alpha and MIP-1beta production by LTD(4) in THP-1 cells whereas the inhibitors of c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase or p38 MAPK did not.
CysLTs induce MIP-1alpha and MIP-1beta production mediated by ERK via binding to the CysLT(1) receptor in human monocytes/macrophages.
巨噬细胞炎性蛋白-1α(MIP-1α)和MIP-1β因其对具有半胱氨酰白三烯1(CysLT(1))受体的单核细胞/巨噬细胞的趋化和促炎作用而闻名。
我们检测了半胱氨酰白三烯(LTC(4)、LTD(4)和LTE(4))刺激人单核细胞白血病细胞系THP-1细胞和外周血单个核细胞(PBMCs)产生MIP-1α和MIP-1β的情况。此外,我们检测了半胱氨酰白三烯1(CysLT(1))受体拮抗剂普仑司特以及三种主要的丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPK)抑制剂对由半胱氨酰白三烯诱导的MIP-1α和MIP-1β产生的抑制作用。
酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)表明,半胱氨酰白三烯可诱导THP-1细胞和PBMCs产生MIP-1α和MIP-1β。聚合酶链反应(PCR)表明,LTD(4)可增加THP-1细胞中MIP-1α和MIP-1β的信使核糖核酸(mRNA)表达。普仑司特可阻断LTD(4)在THP-1细胞和PBMCs中促进的MIP-1α和MIP-1β的产生。此外,细胞外信号调节激酶(ERK)抑制剂可减弱LTD(4)在THP-1细胞中诱导的MIP-1α和MIP-1β的产生,而c-Jun氨基末端激酶或p38丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(p38 MAPK)抑制剂则无此作用。
在人单核细胞/巨噬细胞中,半胱氨酰白三烯通过与CysLT(1)受体结合,经ERK介导诱导MIP-1α和MIP-1β的产生。
