摘要
MCP-1 is expressed in a variety of cell types including vascular endothelial cells following induction by different stimuli such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. Although TNF-alpha stimulates MCP-1 expression and secretion, the mechanism by which TNF-alpha stimulates expression of the MCP-1 gene is not known. In this study, we examine the involvement of the phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase (PI3-kinase)-Akt/PKB pathway. Exposure of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) to TNF-alpha elicited the rapid phosphorylation of Akt/PKB. In HUVECs, wortmannin, a PI3-kinase inhibitor, inhibits TNF-alpha-mediated MCP-1 secretion at a dose dependent manner. Constitutively active form of Akt/PKB induces transcription of the MCP-1 gene, and cotransfection of dominant negative Akt/PKB suppressed the activation of the MCP-1 promoter induced by TNF-alpha. These findings show that Akt/PKB participates in the TNF-alpha induction of MCP-1 gene transcription in endothelial cells. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
