Differential inflammatory activation of IL-6 (−/−) astrocytes
چکیده انگلیسی
IL-6 is a major immunomodulatory cytokine with neuroprotective activity. The absence of interleukin-6 (IL-6) results in increased vulnerability of dopaminergic neurons to the neurotoxicant, MPTP, and a compromised reactive microgliosis. To determine how astrogliosis may contribute to nigrostriatal degeneration in IL-6 (−/−) mice, the inflammatory profiles of astrocytes of IL-6 genotype were compared. Fourteen cytokines and four chemokines were simultaneously assayed in the supernatants of LPS-stimulated primary astrocyte cultures. In a time course of 6, 18 and 48 h and LPS stimulations of 0, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 ng/ml, IL-6 (−/−) astrocytes secreted significantly greater amounts of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1α, IL-1β and TNFα than did IL-6 (+/+) cells. Elevated levels of IL-10 and IL-12p40 were only detected at 48 h post-stimulation with greater IL-10 in IL-6 (−/−) supernatants and greater IL-12p40 in IL-6 (+/+) supernatants. IL-6 (+/+) astrocytes produced more G-CSF and GM-CSF when compared with IL-6 (−/−) astrocytes. Chemokine levels were greater in supernatants of IL-6 (+/+) astrocytes than IL-6 (−/−) cells prior to 48 h post-stimulation. At that time, higher levels of MIP-1α were maintained in IL-6 (+/+) supernatant, while similar levels of MCP-1 in supernatants of both IL-6 (+/+) and IL-6 (−/−) cells were measured. Additionally, LPS (100 ng/ml) resulted in greater levels of KC and Rantes in IL-6 (−/−) astrocyte supernatants compared with IL-6 (+/+) supernatants at that time. These results suggest that the autocrine modulatory activities of IL-6 affect multiple cytokine secretory pathways, which could participate in neurodegenerative processes.
