Prolactin decreases LPS-induced inflammatory cytokines by inhibiting TLR-4/NF?B signaling in the human placenta.

ABSTRACT: Prolactin (PRL) plays an important role in trophoblast growth, placental angiogenesis and immunomodulation within the feto-maternal interface, where different cell types secrete PRL and express its receptor. During pregnancy, inflammatory signalling is a deleterious event that has been associated with poor fetal outcomes. The placenta is highly responsive to the inflammatory stimulus; however, the actions of PRL in placental immunity and inflammation remain largely unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate PRL effects on the TLR4/NFkB signalling cascade and associated inflammatory targets in cultured explants from healthy term human placentas. An in utero inflammatory scenario was mimicked using lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from Escherichia coli. PRL significantly reduced LPS-dependent TNF-?, IL-1? and IL-6 secretion and intracellular levels. Mechanistically, PRL prevented LPS-mediated upregulation of TLR-4 expression and NF?B phosphorylation. In conclusion, PRL limited inflammatory responses to LPS in the human placenta, suggesting that this hormone could be critical in inhibiting exacerbated immune responses to infections that could threaten pregnancy outcome. This is the first evidence of a mechanism for anti-inflammatory activity of PRL in the human placenta, acting as a negative regulator of TLR-4/NFkB signaling.

Project description:Inflammatory response plays a bidirectional regulatory role in myocardial infarction (MI). TLR signaling pathway plays an important role in the development of inflammation. Additionally, we discovered that CCRR is an anti-arrhythmic lncRNA in a prior work. Here we show, it is decreased in mice with 3-day MI followed by a sharp increase of pro-inflammatory cytokines and activation of the TLR pathway. Overexpression of CCRR could effectively inhibit the inflammatory response, reduce the infarct area, and improve cardiac function. And also reduced hypoxia-induced inflammation in cardiomyocytes and macrophages induced by IFN and LPS. It produced a similar protective effect in cardiomyocytes co-cultured with macrophages. Through microarray analysis, RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation analysis, and other related experiments verification, TLR2 and TLR4 may be as potential targets of CCRR after MI. Our findings provide the evidence that lncRNA CCRR plays a key cardioprotective role against MI injury by targeting the TLR signaling pathway. nflammatory response plays a bidirectional regulatory role in myocardial infarction (MI).
