Nucleotide receptor P2RX7 stimulation enhances LPS-induced interferon-β production in murine macrophages.

چکیده
Stimulation of P2RX(7) with extracellular ATP potentiates numerous LPS-induced proinflammatory events, including cytokine induction in macrophages, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this process are not well defined. Although P2RX(7) ligation has been proposed to activate several transcription factors, many of the LPS-induced mediators affected by P2RX(7) activation are not induced by P2RX(7) agonists alone, suggesting a complementary role for P2RX(7) in transcriptional regulation. Type I IFN production, whose expression is tightly controlled by multiple transcription factors that form an enhanceosome, is critical for resistance against LPS-containing bacteria. The effect of purinergic receptor signaling on LPS-dependent type I IFN is unknown and would be of great relevance to a diverse array of inflammatory conditions. The present study demonstrates that stimulation of macrophages with P2RX(7) agonists substantially enhances LPS-induced IFN-β expression, and this enhancement is ablated in macrophages that do not express functional P2RX(7) or when the MAPK MEK1/2 pathways are inhibited. Potentiation of LPS-induced IFN-β expression following P2RX(7) stimulation is likely transcriptionally regulated, as this enhancement is observed at the IFN-β promoter level. Furthermore, P2RX(7) stimulation is able to increase the phosphorylation and subsequent IFN-β promoter occupancy of IRF-3, a transcription factor that is critical for IFN-β transcription by TLR agonists. This newly discovered role for P2RX(7) in IFN regulation may have implications in antimicrobial defense, which has been linked to P2RX(7) activation in other studies.

IFN-gamma enhances production of nitric oxide from macrophages via a mechanism that depends on nucleotide oligomerization domain-2.
Pattern recognition receptors are central to the responsiveness of various eukaryotic cell types when they encounter pathogen-associated molecular patterns. IFN-gamma is a cytokine that is elevated in humans and other animals with bacterial infection and enhances the LPS-induced production of antibacterial mediators by macrophages. Mice lacking the pattern recognition receptor, TLR4, respond ve...

Objective(s) Previous studies have demonstrated that the nitric oxide (NO) dependent death of murine peritoneal macrophages activated in vitro with IFN-g and LPS is mediated through apoptosis. In the present study, we investigated the synergistic effect of LPS, IFN-g and iron on NO production and apoptosis. Materials and Methods After determination of iron cytotoxicity, the peritoneal macrop...

Recognition of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by innate immune system is mediated by the cluster of differentiation 14/Toll-like receptor 4/myeloid differentiation protein 2 (MD-2) complex. In this study, we investigated the modulatory effect of gedunin, a limonoid from species of the Meliaceae family described as a heat shock protein Hsp90 inhibitor, on LPS-induced response in immortalized...

Murine peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) pre-exposed to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) show augmented nitric oxide (NO) production by LPS restimulation, in contrast to LPS tolerance with reduced production of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Significant amounts of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) were detected in the PEC cultures on LPS stimulation, and anti-IFN-ga...
متن کاملTumor necrosis factor-alpha from macrophages enhances LPS-induced clara cell expression of keratinocyte-derived chemokine.
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha is a cytokine produced by alveolar macrophages in response to LPS in the lung. Clara cells are bronchiolar epithelial cells that produce a variety of proinflammatory cytokines in response to LPS but not to TNF-alpha. In this study, we examined whether TNF-alpha affects Clara cell cytokine production in the setting of LPS stimulation. Using a transformed murine ...
