substance p potentiates tgf-1 production in lung epithelial cell lines
نویسندگان
چکیده
transforming growth factor-beta (tgf-β) is one of the most important cytokines implicated in growth, differentiation, repair and also the pathogenesis of the lung fibrosis by its stimulatory effect on extracellular matrix deposition. pulmonary epithelial cells are considered as a source of tgf-β in lung. substance p (sp), as a neuroimmunomodulator has elevated levels in inflamed airways and although it has significant role in the pathogenesis of the lung fibrosis, but its effect on transforming growth factor -beta (tgf-β) production of the lung epithelial cells (and so its regulatory potential) remains unclear. in this study tgf-1 levels in supernatants of the normal (beas-2b) and cancerous (a549) lung epithelial cell line cultures at the presence of various concentrations of sp were examined and mtt assay was performed to evaluate cells viability. we have observed that sp (without any other stimulator) significantly augments tgf-β production of both beas and a54 cells and this effect is inhibited by nk1-receptor antagonist (cp-96345). we have also observed that the viability of cells did not significantly affect at the presence of sp. it can be concluded that sp can directly modulate the release of tgf-β from human bronchial epithelial cell line and thereby participates in various lung functions or pathologic conditions.

متن کاملTRIP-1 regulates TGF-β1-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition of human lung epithelial cell line A549.
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a process by which epithelial cells undergo conversion to a mesenchymal phenotype contributing to wound repair by fibrosis and to cancer cell acquisition of invasive ability. Recently, we showed that type II TGF-β receptor interacting protein-1 (TRIP-1), a protein identified as a phosphorylation target of the TGF-β type II receptor kinase and as a func...

Objectives Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is among the most common cancers worldwide. This study aimed to assess the expression of CK8 and CK17 by OSCC cell lines in Iranian patients. Methods This observational study was conducted on three OSCC cell lines with a minimum of 45 passages. Cells isolated from three patients with OSCC were cultured and passaged. Expression of CK8 and CK17 epi...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) patients suffer from chronic airway inflammation with excessive neutrophil infiltration. Migration of neutrophils to the lung requires chemokine and cytokine signaling as well as cell adhesion molecules, such as intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), which plays an important role in mediating adhesive interactions between effector and target cells in the immune system....
متن کاملMast cell production of TNF-alpha induced by substance P evidence for a modulatory role of substance P-antagonists.
Unregulated increasing of Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) could be pathogenic in inflammatory diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory role of the Substance P-antagonists (SPAs) through the inhibition of histamine release (HR) and TNF-alpha production from mast cell. Rat peritoneal mast cells (PMC) stimulated with Substance P (SP), in the presence of SPAs...
