IL-17 is a newly described, T cell-derived cytokine with ill-defined physiologic properties. As such, we examined the release of proinflammatory mediators by human macrophages in response to recombinant human (rh) IL-17. IL-1beta and TNF-alpha expression and synthesis were up-regulated by rhIL-17 in a dose (ED50 was 50 +/- 9 ng/ml)- and time-dependent fashion, with cytokine accumulation reaching a zenith after 9 h. Release of IL-6, PGE2, IL-10, IL-12, IL-1R antagonist, and stromelysin was also stimulated by rhIL-17. IL-1beta and TNF-alpha mRNA expression levels were controlled by rhIL-17 in a complex manner with an initial 30-min inhibitory phase, and then up-regulation beginning at 1 h and reaching a plateau at about 3 h. The latter expression pattern closely mirrored the nuclear accumulation of the transcription factor nuclear factor-kappaB. cAMP mimetics isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX), forskolin, PGE2, and cholera toxin reversed rhIL-17-induced release of TNF-alpha, but had no consistent effect on induced IL-1beta synthesis. Induced release of TNF-alpha was also inhibited by serine/threonine protein kinase inhibitors KT-5720 (protein kinase A) and Calphostin C (protein kinase C), mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase inhibitor PD098059, and a nonspecific tyrosine kinase inhibitor, genistein. Calphostin C alone abrogated the rhIL-17-induced release of IL-1beta. The antiinflammatory cytokines IL-4 (p < 0.01) and IL-10 (p < 0.02) completely reversed rhIL-17-stimulated IL-1beta release, while IL-13 and TGF-beta2 were partially effective (59 and 43% diminution, respectively). IL-10 exerted a significant suppressive effect on IL-17-induced TNF-alpha release (99%, p < 0.02), while the inhibitory effects of IL-4, IL-13, and TGF-beta2 on TNF-alpha secretion were partial (48, 10, and 23%, respectively). The data suggest a pivotal role for IL-17 in initiating and/or sustaining an inflammatory response.
白细胞介素-17(IL-17)是一种新发现的、由T细胞产生的细胞因子,其生理特性尚不明确。因此,我们检测了重组人(rh)IL-17刺激下人巨噬细胞促炎介质的释放情况。rhIL-17以剂量(半数有效剂量为50±9 ng/ml)和时间依赖性方式上调白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)和肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)的表达及合成,细胞因子积累在9小时后达到峰值。rhIL-17还刺激了IL-6、前列腺素E2(PGE2)、IL-10、IL-12、IL-1受体拮抗剂和基质溶解素的释放。rhIL-17以复杂的方式控制IL-1β和TNF-α mRNA表达水平,最初有30分钟的抑制期,然后在1小时开始上调,约3小时达到平台期。后一种表达模式与转录因子核因子-κB的核内积累密切相关。环磷酸腺苷(cAMP)模拟物异丁基-1-甲基黄嘌呤(IBMX)、福斯可林、PGE2和霍乱毒素可逆转rhIL-17诱导的TNF-α释放,但对诱导的IL-1β合成没有一致的影响。丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶抑制剂KT-5720(蛋白激酶A)、钙泊三醇(蛋白激酶C)、丝裂原活化蛋白激酶激酶抑制剂PD098059和一种非特异性酪氨酸激酶抑制剂染料木黄酮也可抑制诱导的TNF-α释放。单独使用钙泊三醇可消除rhIL-17诱导的IL-1β释放。抗炎细胞因子IL-4(p<0.01)和IL-10(p<0.02)可完全逆转rhIL-17刺激的IL-1β释放,而IL-13和转化生长因子-β2(TGF-β2)部分有效(分别减少59%和43%)。IL-10对IL-17诱导的TNF-α释放有显著抑制作用(99%,p<0.02),而IL-4、IL-13和TGF-β2对TNF-α分泌的抑制作用是部分性的(分别为48%、10%和23%)。这些数据表明IL-17在启动和/或维持炎症反应中起关键作用。
