Abstract

S100A8/A9, a heterodimer of the two calcium-binding proteins S100A8 and S100A9, has emerged as an important proinflammatory mediator in acute and chronic inflammation. However, whether S100A8/A9 is implicated in microglial‑induced neuroinflammatory response remains unclear. Here, we found that S100A8/A9 significantly increased the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines inclu-ding tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in cultured BV-2 microglial cells. Inhibition of the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) with C225 and a RAGE-blocking antibody, respectively significantly reduced the secretion of TNF-α and IL-6 from S100A8/A9-stimulated BV-2 microglial cells. Furthermore, S100A8/A9 markedly enhanced the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 and the DNA-binding activities of NF-κB in BV-2 microglial cells, and suppression of ERK and JNK/MAPK signaling pathways by PD98059 or SP600125 significantly inhibited NF-κB activity and the release of TNF-α and IL-6 in the S100A8/A9-treated BV-2 microglial cells. Our data also showed that inhibition of NF-κB with pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) significantly reduced the secretion of TNF-α and IL-6 from BV-2 microglial cells treated with S100A8/A9. Taken together, our data suggest that S100A8/A9 acts directly on BV-2 microglial cells via binding to TLR4 and RAGE on the membrane and then stimulates the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines through ERK and JNK-mediated NF-κB activity in BV-2 microglial cells. Targeting S100A8/A9 may provide a novel therapeutic strategy in microglial-induced neuroinflammatory diseases.

Effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (1 µg/ml) and S100A8/A9 (0.01–1.0 µM) on the production of (A) tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and (B) interleukin-6 (IL-6) in BV-2 microglial cells. TNF-α and IL-6 levels were determined by ELISA after 12 h of incubation. (C) Polymyxin B (25 µg/ml) had no inhibitory effect on S100A8/A9-induced TNF-α expression in BV-2 cells, whereas the effects of LPS were efficiently blocked. TNF-α levels were determined after 12 h of stimulation by ELISA. Each value represents the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001 compared with the control; ##P<0.01 and ###P<0.001 compared with 0.1 nM S100A8/A9.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
