The purposes were to study the role of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling in matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) expression in A549 cells and to investigate the effects of lentivirus-mediated RNAi targeting of the disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) gene on LPS-induced MMP9 expression. MMP9 expression induced by LPS in A549 cells was significantly increased in a dose- and time-dependent manner (p<0.05). Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) and a TNFR1 blocking peptide (TNFR1BP) significantly inhibited LPS-induced MMP9 expression in A549 cells (p<0.05). TNFR1BP significantly inhibited LPS-induced TNF-α production (p<0.05). Both PDTC and TNFR1BP significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of IκBα and expression of phosphorylation p65 protein in response to LPS (p<0.05), and the level of IκBα in the cytoplasm was significantly increased (p<0.05). Lentivirus mediated RNA interference (RNAi) significantly inhibited ADAM17 expression in A549 cells. Lentivirus-mediated RNAi targeting of ADAM17 significantly inhibited TNF-α production in the supernatants (p<0.05), whereas the level of TNF-α in the cells was increased (p<0.05). Lentiviral ADAM17 RNAi inhibited MMP9 expression, IκBα phosphorylation and the expression of phosphorylation p65 protein in response to LPS (p<0.05). PDTC significantly inhibited the expression of MMP9 and the phosphorylation of IκBα, as well as the expression of phosphorylation p65 protein in response to TNF-α (p<0.05). Lentiviral RNAi targeting of ADAM17 down-regulates LPS-induced MMP9 expression in lung epithelial cells via inhibition of TNF-α/NF-κB signaling.
目的在于研究脂多糖(LPS)诱导的肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)-α/核因子-κB(NF-κB)信号在肺腺癌细胞中基质金属蛋白酶 9(MMP9)表达中的作用,并探讨靶向解整合素金属蛋白酶 17(ADAM17)基因的慢病毒 RNAi 对 LPS 诱导的 MMP9 表达的影响。结果发现,LPS 诱导 A549 细胞 MMP9 表达呈剂量和时间依赖性增加(p<0.05)。吡咯烷二硫代氨基甲酸盐(PDTC)和 TNFR1 阻断肽(TNFR1BP)显著抑制 LPS 诱导的 A549 细胞 MMP9 表达(p<0.05)。TNFR1BP 显著抑制 LPS 诱导的 TNF-α 产生(p<0.05)。PDTC 和 TNFR1BP 均显著抑制 LPS 诱导的 IκBα 磷酸化和磷酸化 p65 蛋白表达(p<0.05),同时细胞质中 IκBα 水平显著升高(p<0.05)。慢病毒介导的 RNA 干扰(RNAi)显著抑制 A549 细胞中 ADAM17 的表达。慢病毒介导的 ADAM17 RNAi 靶向抑制上清液中 TNF-α 的产生(p<0.05),而细胞内 TNF-α 水平升高(p<0.05)。慢病毒 ADAM17 RNAi 抑制 LPS 诱导的 MMP9 表达、IκBα 磷酸化和磷酸化 p65 蛋白表达(p<0.05)。PDTC 显著抑制 TNF-α 诱导的 MMP9 表达、IκBα 磷酸化和磷酸化 p65 蛋白表达(p<0.05)。结论:靶向 ADAM17 的慢病毒 RNAi 通过抑制 TNF-α/NF-κB 信号通路下调 LPS 诱导的肺上皮细胞 MMP9 表达。
