Popis: | Endothelial cells play an important role in sensing danger signals and regulating inflammation. Several factors are capable of inducing a proinflammatory response (e.g., LPS, histamine, IFNγ, and bradykinin), and these factors act simultaneously during the natural course of the inflammatory reaction. We have previously shown that the complement protein mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease-1 (MASP-1) also induces a proinflammatory activation of the endothelial cells. Our aim was to investigate the possible cooperation between MASP-1 and other proinflammatory mediators when they are present in low doses. We used HUVECs and measured Ca2+ mobilization, IL-8, E-selectin, VCAM-1 expression, endothelial permeability, and mRNA levels of specific receptors. LPS pretreatment increased the expression of PAR2, a MASP-1 receptor, and furthermore, MASP-1 and LPS enhanced each other’s effects in regulating IL-8, E-selectin, Ca2+ mobilization, and changes in permeability in a variety of ways. Cotreatment of MASP-1 and IFNγ increased the IL-8 expression of HUVECs. MASP-1 induced bradykinin and histamine receptor expression, and consequently, increased Ca2+ mobilization was found. Pretreatment with IFNγ enhanced MASP-1-induced Ca2+ mobilization. Our findings highlight that well-known proinflammatory mediators and MASP-1, even at low effective doses, can strongly synergize to enhance the inflammatory response of endothelial cells. |
