Several chemokines and their receptors are crucial in RA pathogenesis through immune cell recruitment. C-X-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 1 (CXCL1), a chemokine for the recruitment of various immune cells, can be upregulated in patients with RA. However, the discussion on the role of CXCL1 in RA pathogenesis is insufficient. Here, we found that CXCL1 promoted cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-II) expression in a dose- and time-dependent manner in rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASFs). CXCL1 overexpression in RASFs led to a significant increase in COX-II expression, while the transfection of RASFs with the shRNA plasmid resulted in a noticeable decrease in COX-II expression. Next, we delineated the molecular mechanism underlying CXCL1-promoted COX-II expression and noted that CXC chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2), phospholipase C (PLC), and protein kinase C (PKC) signal transduction were responsible for COX-II expression after CXCL1 incubation for RASFs. Finally, we confirmed the transcriptional activation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) in RASFs after incubation with CXCL1. In conclusion, the current study provided a novel insight into the role of CXCL1 in RA pathogenesis. |
