Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) derived from activated Schwann cells (SCs) plays a critical role as an inflammatory mediator in the peripheral nervous system disease. TNF-alpha could act as an autocrine mediator in SC activation. In this study, we found knockdown Src-suppressed protein kinase C substrate (SSeCKS) expression suppressed TNF-alpha production induced by TNF-alpha, overexpression of SSeCKS could promoted TNF-alpha autocrine in SCs. Such effects might be resulted in SSeCKS promoted p38 and JNK activation in SCs treated by TNF-alpha. Thus present data show that while SCs activation, SSeCKS may plays an important role in the release of inflammatory mediators.
肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)来源于激活的雪旺细胞(SCs),在周围神经系统疾病中作为炎症介质发挥着关键作用。TNF-α可作为SCs激活的自分泌介质。在这项研究中,我们发现Src 抑制蛋白激酶 C 底物(SSeCKS)的敲低表达抑制了 TNF-α诱导的 TNF-α产生,SSeCKS 的过表达可促进 SCs 中 TNF-α的自分泌。这些效应可能是由于 SSeCKS 促进了 TNF-α处理后的 SCs 中 p38 和 JNK 的激活。因此,目前的数据表明,在SCs 激活时,SSeCKS 可能在炎症介质的释放中发挥重要作用。
