Abnormalities in these processes are primary features of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in synovial tissues. We investigated the signaling pathway involved in IL-6 production caused by thrombin in synovial fibroblasts. Thrombin caused concentration - and time-dependent increases in IL-6 production. By using pharmacological inhibitors or activators or genetic inhibition by the protease activated receptor (PAR), siRNA revealed that the PAR I receptor but not other PAR receptors is involved in thrombin-mediated up- regulation of IL-6. Thrombin-mediated IL-6 production was attenuated by thrombin inhibitor (PPACK), phospholipase C inhibitor (U73122), protein kinase C alpha inhibitor (Ro 320432), Src inhibitor (PP2), NF-kappa B inhibitor (PDTC), I kappa B protease inhibitor (TPCK), or NF-kappa B inhibitor peptide. Stimulation of synovial fibroblasts with thrombin activated I kappa B kinase alpha/beta (IKK alpha/beta), I kappa B alpha phosphorylation, IKB alpha degradation, p65 phosphorylation at Ser 276, p 65 and p50 translocation from the cytosol to the nucleus, and kappa B- luciferase activity. Thrombi n-mediated an increase of IKK alpha/beta activity, kappa B-luciferase activity and p65 and p50 binding to the NF- kappa B element was inhibited by PPACK, U73122, Ro320432 and PP2. The binding of p65 and p50 to the NF-kappa B elements, as well as the recruitment of p300 and the enhancement of p50 acetylation on the IL-6 promoter was enhanced by thrombin. Our results suggest that thrombin increased IL-6 production in synovial fibroblasts via the PAR1 receptor/Pl -PLC/PKCa/c-Src/NF-KB and p300 signaling pathway. |
