The effect of a T cell-specific NF-kappa B inhibitor on in vitro cytokine production and collagen-induced arthritis.

چکیده
NF-kappa B plays a key role in the production of cytokines in inflammatory diseases. The effects of a novel T cell-specific NF-kappa B inhibitor, SP100030, were evaluated in cultured Jurkat cells and in murine collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). Chemical libraries were screened for NF-kappa B-inhibitory activity. SP100030, a compound identified in this process, inhibited NF-kappa B activation in PMA/PHA-activated Jurkat cells by EMSA at a concentration of 1 microM. Jurkat cells and the monocytic cell line THP-1 were transfected with an NF-kappa B promotor/luciferase construct and activated. SP100030 inhibited luciferase production in the Jurkat cells (IC50 = 30 nM). ELISA and RT-PCR confirmed that IL-2, IL-8, and TNF-alpha production by activated Jurkat and other T cell lines were inhibited by SP100030. However, cytokine expression was not blocked by the compound in THP-1 cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, or epithelial cells. Subsequently, DBA/1J mice were immunized with type II collagen. Treatment with SP100030 (10 mg/kg/day i.p. beginning on day 21) significantly decreased arthritis severity from onset of clinical signs to the end of the study on day 34 (arthritis score, 5.6 +/- 1.7 for SP100030 and 9.8 +/- 1.5 for control; p < 0.001). Histologic evaluation demonstrated a trend toward improvement in SP100030-treated animals. EMSA of arthritic mouse ankles in CIA showed that synovial NF-kappa B binding was suppressed in the SP100030-treated mice. SP100030 inhibits NF-kappa B activation in T cells, resulting in reduced NF-kappa B-regulated gene expression and decreased CIA. Its selectivity for T cells could provide potent immunosuppression with less toxicity than other NF-kappa B inhibitors.

IL-4 Can Inhibit IL-17 Production in Collagen Induced Arthritis
Background: IL-4 is a cytokine that induces differentiation of naive helper T cells into Th2 cells. Once activated by IL-4, Th2 cells subsequently produce additional IL-4. Objective: To examine the effect of IL-4 on IL-17 production and its effect in Collagen- Induced Arthritis (CIA) mice. Method: In this study, a chicken collagen-II-induced experimental arthritis (CIA) model was used in DBA/1 ...
متن کاملIL-17 promotes bone erosion in murine collagen-induced arthritis through loss of the receptor activator of NF-kappa B ligand/osteoprotegerin balance.
IL-17 is a T cell-derived proinflammatory cytokine in experimental arthritis and is a stimulator of osteoclastogenesis in vitro. In this study, we report the effects of IL-17 overexpression (AdIL-17) in the knee joint of type II collagen-immunized mice on bone erosion and synovial receptor activator of NF-kappa B ligand (RANKL)/receptor activator of NF-kappa B/osteoprotegerin (OPG) expression. ...
متن کاملMurine Lyme arthritis development mediated by p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase activity.
Borrelia burgdorferi, the Lyme disease agent, causes joint inflammation in an experimental murine model. Inflammation occurs, in part, due to the ability of B. burgdorferi to induce the production of proinflammatory cytokines and a strong CD4(+) T helper type 1 response. The mechanisms by which spirochetes induce these responses are not completely known, although transcription factors, such as ...
