MAP3K8 is a potential therapeutic target in airway epithelial inflammation.
Background: We have previously discovered clusters of sequentially negative and positive modulators of acute inflammation during cytokine stimulation in epithelial cells and identified potential targets for therapy within these clusters. MAP3K8 is a druggable kinase that we found to be a hub of a principal interaction network. We describe here the results of MAP3K8 knockdown in the A549 lung cancer cell line, the BEAS-2B epithelial cell line and normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells following IL-1β stimulation. We analysed signalling transduction and global gene expression after IL-1β stimulation with and without MAP3K8 knockdown, quantifying levels of the inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-8 and RANTES levels by qPCRs and/or by ELISAs. We also examined potential small molecule inhibitors for MAP3K8 in the same models.
Results: IL-1β significantly and consistently increased MAP3K8 expression after 2 h in A549, BEAS-2B and NHBE cells. Phosphorylation of MAP3K8 occurred at 20 min after IL-1β stimulation and MAP3K8 protein was degraded at 30 min. MAP3K8 knockdown significantly reduced IL-6, IL-8 levels after IL-1β stimulation and yielded a 10-fold enhancement of the anti-inflammatory effects of dexamethasone. Phosphorylation of ERK1/2 (P-ERK1/2) and phosphorylation of SAPK/JNK (P-SAPK/JNK) decreased at 30 min after IL-1β stimulation with MAP3K8 knockdown. The combination of dexamethasone and MAP3K8 knockdown resulted in greater inhibition of phosphorylated ERK1/2 and SAPK/JNK. Nineteen genes including MMP1, MMP3, MMP10, ITGB8, LAMC2 and PLAT (P corrected < 0.01 respectively) demonstrated a distinct altered temporal response to IL-1β following suppression of MAP3K8. However, putative MAP3K8 inhibitors including Tpl2-1, Tpl2-2 and GSK2222867A only showed inhibition of IL-6 and IL-8 production at a high dose.
Conclusions: These results confirm that MAP3K8 is a key mediator of the early inflammatory response and that it is a potential target in inflammatory diseases. However, current tool compounds do not effectively inhibit its effects.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Inflammation welcomes research submissions on all aspects of inflammation.
The five classical symptoms of inflammation, namely redness (rubor), swelling (tumour), heat (calor), pain (dolor) and loss of function (functio laesa), are only part of the story. The term inflammation is taken to include the full range of underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms involved, not only in the production of the inflammatory responses but, more importantly in clinical terms, in the healing process as well. Thus the journal covers molecular, cellular, animal and clinical studies, and related aspects of pharmacology, such as anti-inflammatory drug development, trials and therapeutic developments. It also considers publication of negative findings.
Journal of Inflammation aims to become the leading online journal on inflammation and, as online journals replace printed ones over the next decade, the main open access inflammation journal. Open access guarantees a larger audience, and thus impact, than any restricted access equivalent, and increasingly so, as the escalating costs of printed journals puts them outside University budgets. The unrestricted access to research findings in inflammation aids in promoting dynamic and productive dialogue between industrial and academic members of the inflammation research community, which plays such an important part in the development of future generations of anti-inflammatory therapies.
