Synergy between adiponectin and interleukin-1? on the expression of interleukin-6, interleukin-8, and cyclooxygenase-2 in fibroblast-like synoviocytes.

ABSTRACT: To determine whether adiponectin may have synergistic effects in combination with the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-1? regarding the production of proinflammatory mediators during arthritic joint inflammation, synovial cells from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients were treated with adiponectin, IL-1?, and their combination for 24 h. Culture supernatant was collected and analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for levels of IL-6, IL-8, prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Adiponectin-mediated intracellular signaling pathways were investigated to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying their synergy. The association of proinflammatory mediators with adiponectin was investigated in the synovial fluid of arthritis patients. Adiponectin functioned synergistically with IL-1? to activate IL-6, IL-8, and PGE2 expression in RA fibroblast-like synoviocytes; Levels of VEGF, MMP-1, and MMP-13 were not synergistically stimulated. Adiponectin and IL-1? each increased the expression of both adiponectin receptor 1 and IL-1 receptor 1. However, adiponectin and IL-1? did not synergistically support the degradation of I?B-? or the nuclear translocation of NF-?B. Synergistically increased gene expression was significantly inhibited by MG132, an NF-?B inhibitor. Supporting the in vitro results, IL-6 and IL-8 levels were positively associated with adiponectin in synovial joint fluid from patients with RA, but not osteoarthritis (OA). In conclusion, adiponectin and IL-1? may synergistically stimulate the production of proinflammatory mediators through unknown signaling pathways during arthritic joint inflammation. Adiponectin may be more important to the pathogenesis of RA than previously thought.

Project description:The expression of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), the major regulator of neutrophil maturation, by human fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) can be stimulated by the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β). G-CSF is known to contribute to the pathologic processes of destructive arthritis, but the induction mechanism remains unknown. The aims of this study were to identify the signaling pathways involved in IL-1β-stimulated G-CSF production and to determine whether this process was inhibited by aciculatin (8-((2R,4S,5S,6R)-tetrahydro-4,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-yl)-5-hydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-7-methoxy-4H-chromen-4-one), the major bioactive component of Chrysopogon aciculatus. IL-1β-induced cytokine expression was evaluated by measuring mRNA and protein levels by RT-PCR, ELISA, and Milliplex® assay. Whether aciculatin inhibited IL-1β-stimulated G-CSF expression, and if so, how, were evaluated using western blot assay, an electrophoretic mobility shift assay, and a reporter gene assay. Neutrophil differentiation was determined by Wright-Giemsa staining and flow cytometry. Aciculatin markedly inhibited G-CSF expression induced by IL-1β (10 ng/mL) in a concentration-dependent manner (1-10 µM). In clarifying the mechanisms involved, aciculatin was found to inhibit the IL-1β-induced activation of the IκB kinase (IKK)/IκB/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways by suppressing the DNA binding activity of the transcription factors NF-κB and activator protein (AP)-1. Furthermore, aciculatin significantly inhibited the G-CSF-mediated phosphorylation of Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) and Akt and neutrophil differentiation from precursor cells. Our results show that aciculatin inhibits IL-1β-stimulated G-CSF expression and the subsequent neutrophil differentiation, suggesting that it might have therapeutic potential for inflammatory arthritis.

Project description:High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is an important downstream product of pyroptosis in macrophages, and it serves a vital role in numerous inflammatory diseases. Previous studies have reported that HMGB1 is released by fibroblast?like synoviocytes (FLSs) that are activated by inflammatory cytokines in knee osteoarthritis (KOA); however, the mechanism via which FLS promotes HMGB1 secretion in KOA remains unknown. According to our previous study, pyroptosis occurs in FLSs of patients with KOA and is mediated by Nod?like receptor protein (NLRP)1 or NLRP3 inflammasomes. However, the specific relationship between HMGB1 secretion and FLS pyroptosis requires further investigation. In the present study, the association between HMGB1 secretion and FLS pyroptosis was investigated in vitro and in vivo. In this study, western blotting, ELISA and reverse transcription?quantitative PCR were used to measure expression levels of proteins and mRNA. Caspase?1 activity assay and Hoechst 33342/PI double staining were used to observe the pyroptosis of FLSs. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to observe the destruction of cartilage in KOA. Increased expression levels of pyroptosis?related proteins and HMGB1 in the synovium of rat anterior cruciate ligament transection?induced KOA models were identified, and these changes were significantly mitigated via the intra?articular injection of a caspase?1 inhibitor. In vitro, FLSs were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) + ATP to induce pyroptosis, and HMGB1 secretion was subsequently measured. LPS + ATP significantly increased the expression levels of pyroptosis?related proteins and HMGB1 in FLSs, and these effects were significantly mitigated by small interfering RNAs targeting NLRP1, NLRP3, apoptosis?associated speck?like protein with a caspase?recruitment domain or caspase?1. Therefore, the present results indicated that NLRP1/NLRP3 inflammasome?mediated and caspase?1?dependent FLS pyroptosis increased HMGB1 secretion in KOA. These findings may provide a therapeutic strategy to decrease synovial inflammatory responses during KOA progression.

Project description:IntroductionInflammation within the tumour microenvironment correlates with increased invasiveness and poor prognosis in many types of cancer, including breast cancer. We have previously demonstrated that activation of a mouse mammary tumour virus (MMTV)-driven inducible fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (iFGFR1) transgene in mammary epithelial cells results in an inflammatory response characterised by induction of inflammatory genes in the mammary gland. Specifically, we have observed increased levels of IL-1beta expression in the mammary gland following activation of iFGFR1 and have used the iFGFR1 model to elucidate the function of IL-1beta in promoting iFGFR1-induced mammary lesions.MethodsTo determine the functional consequences of IL-1beta induction during FGFR1-induced mammary tumourigenesis, the effects of IL-1beta inhibition on the formation of epithelial hyperplasias were examined using the MMTV-iFGFR1 transgenic mouse model. Further studies used a combination of the HC-11 mammary epithelial cell line that stably expresses iFGFR1 and the MMTV-iFGFR1 transgenic mice to further define the mechanisms of IL-1beta function.ResultsInhibition of IL-1beta activity in vivo resulted in reduced iFGFR1-induced epithelial proliferation and formation of hyperplastic structures. Further studies demonstrated that treatment of mammary epithelial cells with IL-1beta-induced expression of cyclooxygenase (Cox)-2 both in vitro and in vivo. Finally, inhibition of Cox-2 prior to activation of iFGFR1 in the transgenic mice also resulted in decreased iFGFR1-induced formation of hyperplastic structures.ConclusionsThe results from these studies indicate that targeting the inflammatory cytokine IL-1beta partially inhibits iFGFR1-induced formation of early-stage mammary lesions, in part through induction of Cox-2. These findings demonstrate that activation of a growth factor receptor in mammary epithelial cells results in increased expression of inflammatory mediators, which cooperate to promote the initiation of hyperplastic lesions in the mammary gland.
