Abstract
Increased iron store in the body may increase the risk of many diseases such as cancer and inflammation. However, the precise pathogenic mechanism of iron has not yet been elucidated. In the present study, the early biological responses of cells to iron treatment were investigated in AP-1 luciferase reporter stably transfected mouse epidermal JB6 cells and primary rat hepatocytes. It was shown that water-soluble iron compounds, such as FeSO4 and Fe2(SO4)3, were more active in inducing AP-1 in JB6 cells than water-insoluble iron compounds, such as Fe2O3 and FeS. Iron stimulated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family members of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) and p38 MAPK but not c-jun NH2 terminal kinases (JNKs), both in JB6 cells and in primary rat hepatocytes, as determined by the phosphorylation assay. Interestingly, the increase in AP-1 luciferase activity by iron was inhibited by the pretreatment of the cells with PD98059, a specific MEK1 inhibitor, and SB202190, a p38 kinase inhibitor. Levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, were increased in JB6 cells by iron in a dose-dependent manner. The increase in IL-6 and its mRNA by iron was also eliminated by the pretreatment of the cells...Continue Reading
