Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is an essential cytokine for the migration of monocytes into vessels, and is also involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. In this study, we investigated the importance of janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and the function of the Akt and glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β) pathway in toll-like receptor (TLR2)-mediated MCP-1 expression. The TLR2 agonist, Pam3CSK4, induced MCP-1 expression in the Raw264.7 cell line. The induction of MCP-1 was seen in the bone marrow-derived macrophages of wild-type mice but not in TLR2 knockout mice. The TLR2-mediated MCP-1 induction was myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88)-independent. By contrast, the inactivation of JAK2 attenuated TLR2-mediated MCP-1 expression. The JAK inhibitor suppressed the phosphorylation of GSK3β as well as Akt by Pam3CSK4 stimulation. While the inactivation of Akt by LY294002 suppressed TLR2-mediated MCP-1 induction, the inactivation of GSK3β by LiCl potentiated TLR2-mediated MCP-1 induction. Furthermore, Akt inhibitor suppressed TLR2-mediated phosphorylation of GSK3β. Taken together, these results suggest that a MyD88-independent pathway exists in TLR2 signaling; the JAK2-Akt-GSK3β pathway is a novel MyD88-independent pathway for MCP-1 induction.

Background: Makino (SP) is one of the important plant origins for the anti-inflammatory Chinese herbal medicine of Siegesbeckiae Herba. The current investigations indicated that the anti-inflammatory effects of SP were associated with the toll-like receptors (TLRs)-mediated nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways.
Methods: Raw 264.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) after acute myocardial infarction (MI) worsens the prognosis of MI patients. Although type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major risk factor of AKI after MI, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we examined the roles of renal Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in the impact of DM on AKI after MI.

The activation of toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) stimulates foam cell formation, which is a key early event in the process of atherosclerosis. In the present study, the role of toll/interleukin-1 receptor-domain-containing adaptor-inducing interferon-β (TRIF) in TLR2-mediated foam cell formation was investigated, and the importance of monocyte chemoattractant protein‑1 (MCP‑1), tissue factor (TF) and lectin‑like oxidized low‑density lipoprotein receptor‑1 (Lox‑1) were examined.

YCG063 is known as an inhibitor of reactive oxygen species (ROS); however, its intracellular mechanisms of action remain poorly understood. In the present study, we investigated the effects of YCG063 on the inflammatory response of Pseudomonas aeruginosa lipopolysaccharide (PA-LPS)‑stimulated human retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE cells). Human adult RPE cells (ARPE‑19) were stimulated with PA-LPS.

Unlabelled: Cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase II (cGKII; PRKG2) phosphorylates a variety of biological targets and has been identified as a gout-susceptible gene. However, the regulatory role of cGKII in triggering gout disease has yet to be clarified. Thus, we plan to explore the specific function of cGKII in macrophages related to gout disease.
