Abstract

Bradykinin (BK), an inflammatory mediator, has been shown to increase the expression of proteins such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) on brain cells and contributes to the pathophysiology of inflammatory responses. However, the mechanisms regulating MMP-9 expression by BK in rat brain astrocytes-1 (RBA-1) remain unclear. Here we report that the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and NF-kappaB pathways participate in the induction of MMP-9 expression induced by BK in RBA cells. Zymographic, Western blotting, and RT-PCR analyses showed that BK increased expression of MMP-9 mRNA and protein in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. BK-induced MMP-9 mRNA and protein expression was inhibited by MEK1/2 inhibitor PD98059, PI3-K inhibitor LY294002, and NF-kappaB inhibitor helenalin. In accordance with these findings, BK-induced phosphorylation of p42/p44 MAPK and Akt and activation of NF-kappaB was attenuated by prior treatment with PD98059, LY294002, and helenalin, respectively. The effects of BK on MMP-9 expression and p42/p44 MAPK and Akt phosphorylation were inhibited by B(2) receptor antagonist Hoe 140, indicating the involvement of B(2) receptors revealed by [(3)H]-BK binding assay. Furthermore, BK-stimulated transl...Continue Reading

Astrocytes & Neurodegeneration

Astrocytes are important for the health and function of the central nervous system. When these cells stop functioning properly, either through gain of function or loss of homeostatic controls, neurodegenerative diseases can occur. Here is the latest research on astrocytes and neurodegeneration.
