Abstract

Peptidoglycan (PG) is found in atheromatous lesions of arteries, where monocytes/macrophages express inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha ($TNF-{\alpha}$). This study investigated the effects of PG on $TNF-{\alpha}$ expression and examined possible cellular factors involved in $TNF-{\alpha}$ upregulation. The overall aim was to identify the molecular mechanisms underlying inflammatory responses to bacterial pathogen-associated molecular patterns in the artery. Exposure of human THP-1 monocytic cells to PG enhanced the secretion of $TNF-{\alpha}$ and induced its gene transcription. Inhibition of TLR-2/4 with OxPAPC significantly inhibited $TNF-{\alpha}$ gene expression, whereas inhibition of LPS by polymyxin B did not. The PG-induced expression of $TNF-{\alpha}$ was also significantly suppressed by pharmacological inhibitors that modulate activities of cellular signaling molecules; for example, U0126 (an ERK inhibitor), SB202190 (a p38 MAPK inhibitor), and SP6001250 (a JNK inhibitor) significantly attenuated PG-induced transcription of $TNF-{\alpha}$ and secretion of its gene product. $TNF-{\alpha}$ expression was also inhibited by rapamycin (an mTOR inhibitor), LY294002 (a PI3K inhibitor), and Akt inhibitor IV (an Akt inhibitor). ROS-regulating compounds, like NAC and DPI, also significantly attenuated $TNF{\alpha}$ expression induced by PG. These results suggest that PG induces $TNF-{\alpha}$ expression in monocytes/macrophages by multiple molecules, including TLR-2, PI3K, Akt, mTOR, MAPKs, and ROS.

본 연구에서는 펩티도글리칸이 단핵세포의 $TNF-{\alpha}$ 발현에 미치는 영향을 조사하였고, 또한 펩티도글리칸에 의한 $TNF-{\alpha}$ 발현에 관련된 세포의 요소들을 연구하였다. 사람의 단핵세포주인 THP-1 세포를 펩티도글리칸에 노출시키는 경우 $TNF-{\alpha}$ 분비 증가뿐만 아니라 $TNF-{\alpha}$ 유전자 전사를 유도하는 결과를 가져왔다. TLR-2/4의 억제제인 OxPAPC은 펩티도글리칸에 의한 $TNF-{\alpha}$의 발현을 저해하였다. 그리고 U0126, SB202190, SP6001250, LY294002, Akti IV, rapamycin, NAC, DPI 같은 약리학적 저해제 또한 $TNF-{\alpha}$ 발현을 유전자/단백질 수준에서 상당히 약화시켰다. 그러나 polymyxin B는 $TNF-{\alpha}$ 발현에 영향을 주지않았다. 따라서 펩티도글리칸이 TLR-2, PI3K, Akt, mTOR, MAPKs, ROS 등을 통하여 단핵세포의 $TNF-{\alpha}$ 발현을 증가시킴을 확인하였다.
