expression of ip-10 chemokine is regulated by pro-inflammatory cytokines in cultured hepatocytes

چکیده
chemokines are classified in four distinct groups as cxc, cc, cx3c and c, depending on the presence or absence of a motif called elr (arg-leu-glu) before the first cysteine residue in their structure. cxc chemokines are also subdivided into elr + and elr - . increasing evidence has indicated the existence of a chemokine network in the liver which is involved in both physiological responses and, under certain circumstances, pathological and repair processes following hepatic injury. the cxc chemokines play a major role in both these processes, and much attention has been focused on their therapeutic applications to liver disease. the aim of this study was to examine the response of cultured hepatocytes to exogenous inflammatory cytokines (tnf-a and ifn-g) regarding expression of ip-10 and growth regulatory oncogen (gro) chemokines. in this study we employed western and northern analysis to measure chemokines at the level of protein and mrna by hepatocytes in response to pro-inflammatory cytokines. we found that, the pro-inflammatory cytokines, tnf-a and ifn-g, selectively stimulated expression of ip-10 but were without effect on gro. this confirms a potential direct involvement of these cytokines in chemokine production by hepatocytes. thus, ifn-g and tnf-a may play a role in hepatic injury and inflammation and produce some of their biological effects by localized induction of chemokines by hepatocytes. given the similarity to an acute phase response, we were able to show that ifn-g and tnf-a mimicked the effects of cell isolation and culture on induction of ip-10 expression. further, evidence for linkages between ifn-g and tnf-a and liver injuries is seen in hepatitis c and hepatitis b in which increased levels of tnf-a and its soluble receptor were reported.

متن کاملHyaluronidase expression and activity is regulated by pro-inflammatory cytokines in human airway epithelial cells.
Hyaluronan (HA) is present at the apical surface of airway epithelium as a high-molecular-weight polymer. Since HA depolymerization initiates a cascade of events that results in kinin generation and growth factor processing, in the present work we used primary cultures of human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells grown at the air-liquid interface (ALI) to assess hyaluronidase (Hyal) activity by HA...

OBJECTIVE To examine the expression of chemokine IP-10/Mob-1 of hepatocytes in responses to the stress imposed during isolation by collagenase perfusion. METHODS This study was performed in the Faculty of Life Sciences University of Manchester during 2001-2005. We employed western and northern blotting analysis to detect IP-10/Mob-1 in isolated and cultured hepatocytes in response to isolatio...
متن کاملZinc transporter gene expression is regulated by pro-inflammatory cytokines: a potential role for zinc transporters in beta-cell apoptosis?
BACKGROUND Beta-cells are extremely rich in zinc and zinc homeostasis is regulated by zinc transporter proteins. beta-cells are sensitive to cytokines, interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) has been associated with beta-cell dysfunction and -death in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. This study explores the regulation of zinc transporters following cytokine exposure. METHODS The effects of cytokines IL...
متن کاملExpression of Regulated Oncogen-Alpha by Primary Hepatocytes Following Isolation and Heat Shock Stimulation
High levels of regulated oncogen-alpha (GRO-a) expression have been observed in the liver. GRO-a stimulates proliferation of epithelial cells and induction of rolling and extravascular migration of neutrophils and mononuclear cells. Given the above observations, this chemokine was chosen to be analyzed in freshly isolated and cultured hepatocytes. In this study, hepatocytes (2×106 cell/ml) were...
متن کاملDifferential regulation of nitric oxide synthase mRNA expression by lipopolysaccharide and pro-inflammatory cytokines in fetal hepatocytes treated with cycloheximide.
The effect of cycloheximide (CHX) on the mRNA expression of the cytokine-inducible, calcium-independent nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was investigated in fetal hepatocytes stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or pro-inflammatory cytokines. In the presence of CHX the LPS-dependent iNOS mRNA levels were reduced, whereas the response to pro-inflammatory cytokines was enhanced. Because iNOS tran...
