Popis: Kinin B 1 receptors are induced by various inflammatory mediators. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of the CXC chemokine IL-8 on kinin B 1 receptor expression in IMR-90 cells, by performing binding studies and Northern blot analysis of B 1 receptor mRNA levels. We demonstrated here that the density of the kinin B 1 receptors could be increased by the chemokine IL-8 in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. IL-8 also increased the kinin B 1 receptor mRNA level in IMR-90 cells. IL-8-induced B 1 receptor expression could be totally abolished by pretreatment with the metabolic inhibitors. Furthermore, expression was markedly reduced by antibodies to human IL-1β. In conclusion, IL-8 increased the expression of kinin B 1 receptors in IMR-90 cells and this effect is likely to be secondary to the production of IL-1β.
