Abstract: | AIM: To explore the effect of recombinamt rat CC16 protein (rCC16) on LPS-induced expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-8 in the rat tracheal epithelial (RTE) cells.METHODS: The RTE cells were incubated with rCC16 at concentrations of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/L in serum-free media for 2 h prior to LPS (0.1 mg/L) treatment for further 24 h. The cells were harvested for assessing the mRNA levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 by RT-qPCR. The cell culture supernatants were collected for analyzing the protein levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 by ELISA. In addition, the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65 was tested by Western blot.RESULTS: rCC16 inhibited LPS-induced IL-6 and IL-8 expression at both mRNA and protein levels in the RTE cells in a concentration-dependent (0~2 mg/L) manner, as demonstrated by RT-qPCR and ELISA. However, no concentration-dependent manner between the dose of rCC16 and TNF-α expression was observed, and rCC16 inhibited LPS-induced TNF-α expression at lower concentration (0.5 mg/L). rCC16 concentration-dependently inhibited the effects of LPS on the level of nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65.CONCLUSION: rCC16 suppresses LPS-mediated TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 production through inactivation of NF-κB activity in RTE cells.KEY WORDS] CC16 protein; Airway inflammation; LPS; Inflammatory mediators; Nuclear factor-κB |
