Abstract

S100A8 and S100A9 are intracellular calcium-binding proteins produced by myeloid cells that promote neutrophil/monocyte recruitment at inflamed tissues by enhancing attachment to endothelial cells. Although the intracellular functions of these proteins, i.e., myeloid-related proteins (MRP)-8 and MRP-14, are not completely understood, these proteins exhibit prominent extracellular cytokine-like functions and are considered reliable markers of inflammation in diverse diseases. As S100A8 and S100A9 have been reported to be rapidly released in response to components derived from infectious agents, we hypothesized that they play an important role in the modulation of key microbicidal phagocyte functions. In this study, we report for the first time that MRPs are powerful inducers of NO production by murine macrophages (Mphi). This increase in NO production was linked to an increased inducible NO synthase expression both at gene and protein level. This induction was concomitant with an important phosphorylation of SAPK/JNK, but also of MEK and ERK kinases. Upon stimulation with MRPs, NF-kappaB was rapidly translocated to the nucleus (30 min). When Mphi were treated concomitantly with IFN-gamma, another activator of Mphi functions, we ...Continue Reading
