Abstract

Background: Macrophages are one of the most important inflammatory cells in innate immunity.PU.1 is a macrophage-specific transcription factor.Ubiquitins are the ultimate regulator of eukaryotic transcription.The ubiquitination process for PU.1 is unknown.This study investigated the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced activation of PU.1 and its relation to ubiquitins in the macrophages.Methods: Raw264.7 cells, the primary cultured alveolar, pulmonary, and bone marrow derived macrophages were used.The Raw264.7 cells were treated with MG-132, NH 4 Cl, lactacytin and LPS.Nitric oxide and prostaglandin D2 and E2 were measured.Immunoprecipitation and Western blots were used to check ubiquitination of PU.1.Results: The PU.1 ubiquitination increased after LPS (1μg/mL) treatment for 4 hours on Raw264.7 cells.The ubiquitination of PU.1 by LPS was increased by MG-132 or NH 4 Cl pretreatment.Two hours of LPS treatment on macrophages, PU.1 activation was not induced nor increased with the inhibition of proteasomes and/or lysosomes.The ubiquitination of PU.1 was increased in LPS-treated Raw264.7 cells at 12-and at 24 hours.LPS-treated cells increased nitric oxide production, which was diminished by MG-132 or NH 4 Cl.LPS increased the production of PGE2 in the alveolar and peritoneal macrophages of wild type mice; however, PGE2 was blocked or diminished in Rac2 null mice.Pretreatment of lactacystin increased PGE 2 , however it decreased the PGD 2 level in the macrophages derived from the bone marrow of B57/BL6 mice.Conclusion: LPS treatment in the macrophages ubiquitinates PU.1.Ubiquitination of PU.1 may be involved in synthesis of nitric oxide and prostaglandins.

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.
