Abstract:
Objective: To explore the effect of caveolin-1 ( Cav-1 ) on lipopolysaccharide ( LPS )-induced airway mucous hypersecretion.Methods:16HBE human airway epithelial cells with Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4) inhibitor,nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-κB) inhibitor,Cav-1 siRNA or plasmid pr-treated,further stimulated with LPS.The cells were divided into 8 groups:the control group, the LPS group,the LPS+Cav-1 expression group,the LPS+Cav-1 siRNA group,the LPS +negative siRNA group,the LPS +empty vector group,the LPS +E5564 group, the LPS +PDTC group.Cell survival rate was detected by MTT assay.Transcription level of mucin(MUC)5AC was evaluated with RT-PCR.The level of MUC5AC protein was measured by ELISA.The expression of TLR4,Cav-1 and phosphorylated IκBα( p-IκBα) were measured by Western blot.MUC5AC protein changes were observed by immunofluorescence and confocal laser technology.Results:LPS remarkably increased MUC5AC,as well as TLR4,p-IκBα(P<0.05).These effects were prevented by E5564 and PDTC.We found that the overexpression of Cav-1 further enhanced the expression of TLR4, p-IκBαand MUC5AC.However,downregulation of Cav-1 inhibited the expression of TLR4,p-IκBα,MUC5AC.Conclusion: Cav-1 enhances LPS-induced MUC5AC hypersecretion through TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.
