Abstract

Inflammation involves the cooperation of various cells and biologically active molecules. An important intracellular messenger molecule participating in the regulation of the process is cyclic GMP (cGMP), which is synthesized by guanylyl cyclases (GCs). The GC family comprises cytosolic (soluble) and membrane-bound (particulate) enzymes. The aim of this study was to determine whether and how the synthesis of cGMP by various forms of GC affects the expression of inflammatory cytokines depending on the activity of the transcription factors NF-κB (nuclear factor-κB) and AP-1 (activator protein-1). We established that in rat peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), synthesis of cGMP was elevated by sodium nitroprusside (SNP), the activator of soluble GC, and by atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), the activators of particulate GC-A and GC-B, respectively. Stimulation of various GCs differently affected the expressions of the cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in control cells and in cells activated by bacterial endotoxin (LPS). In control PBMCs their expression was elevated by stimulation of soluble, but not particulate, GC. SNP caused an increase in NF-κB activity, but had no influence on the act...Continue Reading

Anti-inflammatory Treatments

A drug or substance that reduces inflammation (redness, swelling, and pain) in the body. Anti-inflammatory agents block certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and swelling. Discover the latest research on anti-inflammatory treatments here
