چکیده
UNLABELLED It has been reported that, in patients with acute myocardial infarction or congestive heart failure, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) plays an important role in the development of inflammatory responses and that the level of MCP-1 is correlated with the severity of the disease. We conducted this study to investigate the effects of dobutamine and dopamine on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced MCP-1 production in human monocytic THP-1 cells. Monocytes were incubated in vitro with LPS for 16 h at 37 degrees C in the presence or absence of dobutamine or dopamine. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to examine the effect of dobutamine on MCP-1 synthesis, with the MCP-1 messenger RNA expression examined by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Dobutamine inhibited LPS-induced production of MCP-1, as well as messenger RNA expression, in a dose-dependent manner, whereas dopamine had no significant effect. Furthermore, we demonstrated that dobutamine suppressed MCP-1-induced chemotaxis and peak [Ca(2+)](i) in monocytic THP-1 cells. These findings suggest that dobutamine may modulate monocyte activation, such as chemotaxis and [Ca(2+)](i), as well as MCP-1 production, during therapy for congestive heart failure. IMPLICATIONS Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) plays important roles in the inflammatory processes associated with pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. In this study, dobutamine was found to inhibit lipopolysaccharide-induced MCP-1 production and messenger RNA expression, as well as MCP-1-induced chemotaxis and peak [Ca(2+)](i), in human monocytes.

C-reactive protein promotes monocyte chemoattractant protein-1--mediated chemotaxis through upregulating CC chemokine receptor 2 expression in human monocytes.
BACKGROUND Inflammation plays a crucial role in atherosclerosis. An elevated serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level is a strong marker for future atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. In addition, recent data suggest that CRP may directly promote atherogenesis. In this study, we investigated whether CRP can directly activate human circulating monocytes. METHODS AND RESULTS Incubation of THP-...

Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) has an important influence on monocyte migration into sites of inflammation. Our understanding of the signal transduction pathways involved in the response of monocytes to MCP-1 is quite limited yet potentially significant for understanding and manipulating the inflammatory response. Prior studies have demonstrated a crucial regulatory role for cytosol...

Thalidomide, a psychoactive drug that readily crosses the blood-brain barrier, has been shown to possess immunomodulatory attributes, including the inhibition of cytokine production by monocytes and microglia. In this study, we investigated the effect of thalidomide on chemokine production by human microglial cells. Microglial cells were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide, a key cell-wall compo...

Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) overproduction from inflamed adipose tissue is a major contributor to obesity-related metabolic syndromes. 3T3-L1 embryonic fibroblasts were cultured and differentiated into adipocytes using an established protocol. Adipocytes were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to induce inflammation and thus MCP-1 release. At the same time, varying concentrati...
