Popis: | Emerging evidence has shown that interleukin (IL)-17A is implicated in the pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis (AR). Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) orchestrates the immune response toward a Th2 phenotype. Although increased TSLP is found in AR, the contribution of IL-17A in TSLP production by nasal fibroblasts is not well understood. We aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of IL-17A on TSLP production by human nasal fibroblasts (HNFs) from AR patients. HNFs from AR patients were cultured and stimulated with IL-17A in the absence or presence of a Janus kinase (JAK) 2 or JAK1/3 inhibitor. Western blotting was used to assay phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (p-STAT3) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) p65 in HNFs. The TSLP expression in the cells and culture supernatants was evaluated by real-time polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunoassay. Stimulation with IL-17A induced STAT3 phosphorylation, which was inhibited by the pretreatment with JAK2 inhibitor AZD1480 or JAK1/3 inhibitor tofacitinib. IL-17A promoted the nuclear translocation of NF-κBp65 protein, leading to increased TSLP production, while the pre-incubation with AZD1480 prior to IL-17A attenuated these effects. However, the pre-incubation with tofacitinib before IL-17A stimulation had no impact on the expression of NF-κBp65 and TSLP. IL-17A up-regulated TSLP production by HNFs through JAK2/NF-κB pathway. Although IL-17A induced STAT3 activation through JAK1/2/3, IL-17A-mediated TSLP expression was not dependent on STAT3 signaling. These observations would provide mechanistic insight into therapeutic strategies to improve the immune and inflammation associated with Th17A in the management of AR. |
