We examined the signaling mechanisms involved in δ-opioid-receptor agonist, SNC-121-mediated attenuation of TNF-α-induced matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) secretion from human optic nerve head (ONH) astrocytes.
Human ONH astrocytes were treated with SNC-121 (1 μmol/L) for 15 minutes followed by TNF-α (25 ng/mL) treatment for 6 or 24 hours. Cells were pretreated with inhibitors of p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase (SB-203580) or NF-κB (Helenalin) prior to TNF-α treatment. Changes in phosphorylation and expression of p38 MAP kinase, IκBα, NF-κB, and MMP-2 were measured by Western blotting. Translocation of NF-κB was determined by immunocytochemistry.
TNF-α treatment increased MMP-2 secretion from ONH astrocytes to 236% ± 17% and 142% ± 8% at 6 and 24 hours, respectively; while SNC-121 treatment reduced MMP-2 secretion to 149% ± 11% and 108% ± 7% at 6 and 24 hours, respectively. The SNC-121-mediated inhibitory response was blocked by the δ-opioid-receptor antagonist naltrindole. TNF-α treatment resulted in a sustained phosphorylation of p38 MAP kinase up to 24 hours (226% ± 15% over control levels), which was reduced to 150% ± 20% by SNC-121 treatment. TNF-α treatment increased the expression of NF-κB to 179% ± 21% and 139% ± 6% at 6 and 24 hours, respectively, which was significantly blocked by SNC-121 treatment. Furthermore, TNF-α-induced MMP-2 secretion was blocked by 100% and 78% in the presence of SB-203580 and Helenalin, respectively.
Evidence is provided that SNC-121 attenuated TNF-α-induced MMP-2 secretion from ONH astrocytes. Data also supported the idea that p38 MAP kinase and NF-κB played central roles in TNF-α-induced MMP-2 secretion, and both were negatively regulated by SNC-121.
我们研究了 δ 阿片受体激动剂 SNC-121 抑制 TNF-α 诱导的人视神经头(ONH)星形胶质细胞基质金属蛋白酶-2(MMP-2)分泌所涉及的信号转导机制。
用 SNC-121(1 μmol/L)处理人 ONH 星形胶质细胞 15 分钟,然后用 TNF-α(25ng/mL)处理 6 或 24 小时。用 p38 丝裂原活化蛋白(MAP)激酶(SB-203580)或 NF-κB(Helenalin)抑制剂预处理细胞,然后用 TNF-α 处理。通过 Western 印迹法测定 p38 MAP 激酶、IκBα、NF-κB 和 MMP-2 的磷酸化和表达变化。通过免疫细胞化学测定 NF-κB 的易位。
TNF-α 处理使 ONH 星形胶质细胞的 MMP-2 分泌分别增加至 236%±17%和 142%±8%,分别在 6 和 24 小时;而 SNC-121 处理使 MMP-2 分泌分别减少至 149%±11%和 108%±7%,分别在 6 和 24 小时。δ 阿片受体拮抗剂纳曲吲哚阻断 SNC-121 介导的抑制反应。TNF-α 处理导致 p38 MAP 激酶的磷酸化持续至 24 小时(与对照水平相比增加 226%±15%),而 SNC-121 处理则减少至 150%±20%。TNF-α 处理使 NF-κB 的表达分别增加至 179%±21%和 139%±6%,分别在 6 和 24 小时,而 SNC-121 处理则显著阻断 NF-κB 的表达。此外,在存在 SB-203580 和 Helenalin 的情况下,TNF-α 诱导的 MMP-2 分泌分别被阻断 100%和 78%。
证据表明,SNC-121 减轻了 TNF-α 诱导的 ONH 星形胶质细胞 MMP-2 分泌。数据还支持 p38 MAP 激酶和 NF-κB 在 TNF-α 诱导的 MMP-2 分泌中起核心作用的观点,并且两者均受 SNC-121 的负调控。
