Nerve growth factor inhibits TLR3-induced inflammatory cascades in human corneal epithelial cells.


ABSTRACT: Background:In herpes simplex epithelial keratitis, excessive TLR3-induced cellular responses after virus infection evoke inflammatory cascades that might be destructive to the host cornea. Nerve growth factor (NGF), a pluripotent neurotrophic factor with immune regulatory effect, was proved to be effective in Herpes simplex keratitis (HSK) treatment, although the detailed mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the effects of NGF on modulating inflammatory responses triggered by TLR3 activation in human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs) in vitro. Methods:HCECs were stimulated with TLR3 agonist, poly(I:C), in the absence or presence of NGF. Cell viability and cytotoxicity were measured by a CCK-8 assay and LDH release assay, respectively. The activation of NF-?B signaling pathway was examined using immunofluorescence staining and western blotting. Levels of proinflammatory cytokines were determined by ELISA or RT-qPCR. ROS generation and 8-OHdG positive cells were examined by a fluorometric analysis. Results:It was shown that NGF significantly inhibited the generation of proinflammatory cytokines in HCECs triggered by TLR3 activation (P?
