Popis: | Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) are an important part of the innate immune defense in the central nervous system (CNS). The expression of the AMP psoriasin (S100A7) is up-regulated during bacterial meningitis. However, the exact mechanisms induced by psoriasin to modulate glial cell activity are not yet fully understood. Our hypothesis is that psoriasin induced pro and anti-inflammatory signaling pathways as well as regenerative factors to contribute in total to a balanced immune response. Therefore, we used psoriasin stimulated glial cells and analyzed the translocation of the pro-inflammatory transcription factor nuclear factor ‘kappa-light-chain-enhancer’ of activated B-cells (NFκB) in murine glial cells and the expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators by real time RT-PCR, ELISA technique and Western blotting. Furthermore, the relationship between psoriasin and the anti-oxidative stress transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) was investigated. Stimulation with psoriasin enhanced NFκB translocation and increased the expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF- α) but also neurotrophin expression. Evidence for functional interactions between psoriasin and Nrf2 were detected in form of increased antioxidant response element (ARE) activity and induction of Nrf2/ARE-dependent heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) expression in psoriasin-treated microglia and astrocytes. The results illustrate the ability of psoriasin to induce immunological functions in glia cells where psoriasin exerts divergent effects on the innate immune response.
