چکیده

Adenosine A(2A)R and TLR agonists synergize to induce an "angiogenic switch" in macrophages, down-regulating TNF-alpha and up-regulating VEGF expression. This switch involves transcriptional regulation of VEGF by HIF-1, transcriptional induction of HIF-1alpha by LPS (TLR4 agonist), and A(2A)R-dependent post-transcriptional regulation of HIF-1alpha stability. Murine HIF-1alpha is expressed as two mRNA isoforms: HIF-1alphaI.1 and -I.2, which contain alternative first exons and promoters. HIF-1alphaI.2 is expressed ubiquitously, and HIF-1alphaI.1 is tissue-specific. We investigated the regulation of these isoforms in macrophages by TLR4 and A(2A)R agonists. HIF-1alphaI.1 is induced strongly compared with HIF-1alphaI.2 upon costimulation with LPS and A(2A)R agonists (NECA or CGS21680). In unstimulated cells, the I.1 isoform constituted approximately 4% of HIF-1alpha transcripts; in LPS and NECA- or CGS21680-treated macrophages, this level was approximately 15%, indicating a substantial contribution of HIF-1alphaI.1 to total HIF-1alpha expression. The promoters of both isoforms were induced by LPS but not enhanced further by NECA, suggesting A(2A)R-mediated post-transcriptional regulation. LPS/NECA-induced expression of HIF-1alphaI.1 was down-regulated by Bay 11-7085 (NF-kappaB inhibitor) and ZM241385 (A(2A)R antagonist). Although VEGF and IL-10 expression by HIF-1alphaI.1-/- macrophages was equivalent to that of wild-type macrophages, TNF-alpha, MIP-1alpha, IL-6, IL-12p40, and IL-1beta expression was significantly greater, suggesting a role for HIF-1alphaI.1 in modulating expression of these cytokines. A(2A)R expression in unstimulated macrophages was low but was induced rapidly by LPS in a NF-kappaB-dependent manner. LPS-induced expression of A(2A)Rs and HIF-1alpha and A(2A)R-dependent HIF-1alpha mRNA and protein stabilization provide mechanisms for the synergistic effects of LPS and A(2A)R agonists on macrophage VEGF expression.

Synergistic up-regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in macrophages by adenosine A2A receptor agonists and endotoxin involves transcriptional regulation via the hypoxia response element in the VEGF promoter.

Macrophages are an important source of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) agonists with Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2, 4, 7, and 9 agonists synergistically induce macrophage VEGF expression. We show here using VEGF promoter-luciferase reporter constructs that the TLR4 agonist Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the A2AR agonists NECA and CGS21680 syn...

Synergistic up-regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor expression in murine macrophages by adenosine A(2A) receptor agonists and endotoxin.

Under normoxic conditions, macrophages from C57BL mice produce low levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Hypoxia stimulates VEGF expression by approximately 500%; interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) with endotoxin [lipopolysaccharide (LPS)] also stimulates VEGF expression by approximately 50 to 150% in an inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)-dependent manner. Treatment of normoxic mac...

Differential activation and antagonistic function of HIF-{alpha} isoforms in macrophages are essential for NO homeostasis.

Hypoxic response and inflammation both involve the action of the hypoxia-inducible transcription factors HIF-1alpha and HIF-2alpha. Previous studies have revealed that both HIF-alpha proteins are in a number of aspects similarly regulated post-translationally. However, the functional interrelationship of these two isoforms remains largely unclear. The polarization of macrophages controls functi...

Up-regulation of TLR2 and TLR4 in high mobility group Box1-stimulated macrophages in pulpitis patients

Objective(s): High Mobility Group Box1 (HMGB1) is a nonhistone, DNA-binding protein that serves a crucial role in regulating gene transcription and is involved in a variety of proinflammatory, extracellular activities. The aim of this study was to explore whether HMGB1 stimulation can up-regulate the expression of Toll-like Receptor 2 (TLR2) and Toll-like Receptor 4 (TLR4) on macrophages from p...
