Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To elucidate the inflammatory regulation by ceramide metabolites such as ceramide 1-phosphate (C-1-P) and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S-1-P), IL-1β-mediated PGE2 production system in canine dermal fibroblasts (cDFB) and TNF-α-mediated IL-8 expression system in canine synovial fibroblasts (cSFB) were established as a model of inflammation first. In cDFB, IL-1β mediated PGE2 production via COX-2 expression. MEK/ERK MAPK signaling was involved in the IL-1β-mediated COX-2 expression via the activation of NF-κB (p65), a transcription factor. In cSFB, ERK2 and JNK1, ERK and JNK MAPK isoforms, respectively, were involved in the TNF-α-mediated IL-8 expression. Then the effects of C-1-P and S-1-P on IL-1β-mediated PGE2 production in cDFB and TNF-α-mediated IL-8 expression in cSFB was examined. However, no significant effect of these ceramide metabolites was observed.
