چکیده
Interleukin (IL)-32 is a recently described proinflammatory cytokine, characterized by the induction of nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB activation. We studied IL-32alpha expression in human pancreatic periacinar myofibroblasts, which play important roles in the regulation of extracellular matrix metabolism and inflammatory responses in the pancreas. IL-32alpha protein expression was evaluated by Western blot analyses, and IL-32alpha mRNA expression was analyzed by Northern blot and real-time PCR analyses. IL-32alpha mRNA was weakly expressed without a stimulus, and its expression was markedly enhanced by IL-1beta, IFN-gamma, and TNF-alpha. IL-1beta, IFN-gamma, and TNF-alpha enhanced intracellular accumulation of IL-32alpha protein, but IL-32alpha was not detected in supernatants. Each cytokine dose and time dependently induced IL-32alpha mRNA expression. An inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (LY294002) significantly suppressed IL-1beta-, IFN-gamma-, and TNF-alpha-induced IL-32alpha mRNA expression, although MAPK inhibitors had no effect. Akt activation in response to these cytokines was confirmed by Western blot. Furthermore, LY294002 suppressed both IL-1beta- and TNF-alpha-induced NF-kappaB activation and IL-1beta-, TNF-alpha-, and IFN-gamma-induced activated protein-1 (AP-1) activation. Blockade of NF-kappaB and AP-1 activation by an adenovirus expressing a stable mutant form of IkappaBalpha and a dominant negative mutant of c-Jun markedly suppressed IL-1beta-, IFN-gamma-, and/or TNF-alpha-induced IL-32alpha mRNA expression. Human pancreatic periacinar myofibroblasts expressed IL-32alpha in response to IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, and IFN-gamma. IL-32alpha mRNA expression is dependent on interactions between the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt-pathway and the NF-kappaB/AP-1 system.

Salvianolic acid B improves insulin secretion from interleukin 1β-treated rat pancreatic islets: The role of PI3K-Akt signaling
Background and Objective: Oxidative stress induced by proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β plays a major role in β-cell destruction in diabetes type 1. Salvianolic acid B (Sal B) is a polyphenolic compound with antioxidant and protective effects. Thus, objective of this study was to assess the protection exerted by Sal B on isolated rat islets exposed to IL-1β and to investigate an underlyin...
متن کاملInterleukin-32α expression in human colonic subepithelial myofibroblasts.
Interleukin (IL)-32 is a recently described proinflammatory cytokine, characterized by induction of nuclear factor (NF)-κB activation. We studied IL-32α expression in human colonic subepithelial myofibroblasts (SEMFs). Colonic SEMFs were isolated from normal human colon tissue. IL-32α protein expression was evaluated by Western blot analyses, and IL-32α mRNA expression was analyzed by real-time...
متن کاملSynergistic collagenase expression and cartilage collagenolysis are phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt signaling-dependent.
The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway has emerged as a major regulator of cellular functions and has been implicated in several pathologies involving remodeling of extracellular matrix (ECM). The end stage of inflammatory joint diseases is characterized by excessive ECM catabolism, and in this study we assess the role of PI3K signaling in the induction of collagenolytic mat...
متن کاملEupafolin ameliorates lipopolysaccharide-induced cardiomyocyte autophagy via PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway
Objective(s): Eupafolin, a major active component of Eupatorium perfoliatum L., has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is responsible for myocardial depression. A line of evidences revealed that LPS induces autophagy in cardiomyocytes injury. This study aims to evaluate the effects of eupafolin on LPS-induced cardiomyocyte autophagy...
