Methods: The glomerular mesangial cells of rat were cultured and treated with IL-1β with or without preincubation with LXA4 at different concentrations. The amount of IL-6 in the supernatant of cells was analyzed by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The expressions of mRNA of IL-6 were determined by RT-PCR. The expressions of Src homology 2( SH2 ) containing protein-tyrosine phosphatase 2(Shp-2) were assessed by immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting. Activities of DNA-binding of nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-κB) were measured by electrophoretic mobility shift assay(EMSA). Results:IL-1β- snulated secretion of protein and expression of mRNA of IL-6 in mesangial cells were inhibited by LXA4 in a dose-dependent manner. LXA4 antagonizes the phosphorylation of Shp-2 and activities of NF-κB induced by IL-1β Conclusion: LXA4 antagonists IL-1β-induced synthesis of IL-6 in glomerular mesangial cellsthrough the mechanism of Shp-2/NF-κB pathway-dependent signal transduction.展开更多

The molecular mechanism of Lipoxin A4 (LXA4) on corneal collagen degradation in three dimensions was investigated. ·METHODS:Rabbit corneal fibroblasts were harvested and suspended in serum -free MEM. Type I collagen, DMEM, collagen reconstitution buffer and corneal fibroblast suspension were mixed on ice. The resultant mixture solidified in an incubator, after which test reagents and plasminogen was overlaid and the cultures were returned to the incubator. The supernatants from collagen gel incubations were collected and the amount of hydroxyproline in the hydrolysate was measured. Immunoblot analysis of MMP-1,-3 and TMMP-1,-2 was performed. MMP-2, -9 was detected by the method of Gelatin zymography. Cytotoxicity assay was measured. RESULTS:LXA4 inhibited corneal collagen degradation in a dose and time manner. LXA4 inhibited the IL -1β induced increases in the pro-MMP-1, -2, -3, -9 and active MMP -1,-2,-3,-9 in a concentration dependent manner. LXA4 also inhibited the IL-1β induced increases in TIMP-1, -2. CONCLUSION:As a potent anti-inflammation reagent, LXA4 can inhibit corneal collagen degradation induced by IL-1β in corneal fibroblasts thus inhibiting corneal dissolving pathology process.展开更多

In the present study, we aimed to study the effect of LXA4 on the inflammatory cytokines production induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS) and the possible mechanism in normal human epidermal keratinocytes(NHEKs). NHEKs were isolated and cultured. The expression of toll-like receptor 4(TLR4), LXA4 receptor(ALXR) and aryl hydrocarbon receptor(Ah R) in NHEKs was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR). The m RNA and protein levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α) and interleukin-1β(IL-1β) were determined in NHEKs stimulated by LPS(10 μg/m L) with or without preincubation with LXA4(100 nmol/L) for 30 min by real-time quantitative PCR(real-time q PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), respectively. The expression levels of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6(TRAF6) and suppressors of cytokine signaling 2(SOCS2) m RNAs and proteins, and nuclear translocation of NF-k B-p65 were measured by real-time q PCR and Western blotting, respectively. The results showed that NHEKs expressed TLR4, ALXR and Ah R. LXA4 significantly inhibited the m RNA and protein expression levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and TRAF6 induced by LPS in NHEKs, and LXA4 obviously increased the expression of SOCS2 at m RNA and protein levels. The nuclear NF-k B-p65 protein expression induced by LPS was inhibited after preincubation with LXA4 in NHEKs. It was concluded that LXA4 inhibits the LPS-induced production of TNF-α and IL-1β in NHEKs by up-regulating SOCS2 and down-regulating TRAF6.展开更多
