Abstract:
:German cockroach extract synergistically regulates tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced interleukin (IL)-8 expression in human airway epithelial cells. The IL-8 promoter contains nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB, activating protein (AP)-1, and NF for IL-6 (NF-IL6) transcription factor binding regions. Because cockroach extract activates extracellular regulated kinase (ERK), a known activator of AP-1 and NF-IL6, we focused on the regulation of these transcription factors. Although TNF-alpha and cockroach extract both increased AP-1 translocation, mutation of the AP-1 site in the context of the wild-type promoter had no effect on cockroach extract-induced synergy. Mutation of the NF-IL6 site in the context of the wild-type IL-8 promoter, or overexpression of a dominant-negative NF-IL6 mutant, each abolished cockroach extract-induced synergy. Cockroach extract induced NF-IL6 translocation and DNA binding, an effect that was further increased in the presence of TNF-alpha. Cockroach extract-induced regulation of NF-IL6 was due to active serine proteases in the extract as well as activation of protease activated receptor (PAR)-2, but not PAR-1. Chemical inhibition of ERK also attenuated cockroach extract-induced NF-IL6-DNA binding. We conclude that proteases in German cockroach extract regulate PAR-2 and ERK to increase NF-IL6 activity and synergistically regulate TNF-alpha-induced IL-8 promoter activity in human airway epithelium.
