Angiotensin 1-7, but not the thrombin-cleaved osteopontin C-terminal fragment, attenuates osteopontin-mediated macrophage-induced endothelial-cell inflammation.
Inflammation Research : Official Journal of the European Histamine Research Society ... [et Al.] 2018 March
OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN: Evaluating the pro-/anti-inflammatory activity of the C-terminal cleavage product of osteopontin in comparison to angiotensin 1-7.
MATERIAL AND SUBJECTS: Human coronary endothelial cells (hcEC) treated with conditioned media from human U937 macrophages.
TREATMENT: Macrophages were (pre)treated with C-terminal, full-length or N-terminal osteopontin (OPN-C, OPN-FL, OPN-N, respectively), angiotensin II, angiotensin 1-7 or TNF-α. OPN-C modulatory capacity was compared to that of Ang1-7 in inhibiting subsequent Ag II, OPN-FL or OPN-N-induced macrophage-mediated endothelial inflammation.
METHODS: Protein expression of NFκB, IκB, vCAM-1 and iCAM-1 was assessed using western blot. Promotor activation by NFκB was also assessed by dual-luciferase reporter assay.
RESULTS: Conditioned media of macrophages treated with OPN-C induced hcECs' NfκB activation to a lower degree than OPN-FL or OPN-N. Priming of macrophages with angiotensin 1-7 attenuated the endothelial pro-inflammatory effect induced by subsequent exposure of the macrophages to angiotensin II, OPN-FL or OPN-N. This was evidenced by both NfκB activation and vCAM and iCAM expression. In contrast, priming macrophages with OPN-C did not significantly attenuate the subsequent response to the pro-inflammatory cytokines.
CONCLUSIONS: OPN-C induces lower macrophage-induced endothelial inflammation compared to OPN-FL or OPN-N, but unlike angiotensin 1-7, fails to prevent endothelial inflammation induced by subsequent pro-inflammatory macrophage stimulation.
