IL-1β induces murine airway 5-HT2A receptor hyperresponsiveness via a non-transcriptional MAPK-dependent mechanism

Abstract: Background: Interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) is found in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids from asthmatic patients and plays an important role in normal immunoregulatory processes but also in pathophysiological inflammatory responses. The present study was designed to investigate if IL-1β could be involved in the development of airway hyperresponsiveness and if transcriptional mechanisms, epithelium contractile factors and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways are involved in IL-1β effect.

“…Activated macrophages release IL-1␤ and TNF-␣, both of which are associated with asthma and airway hyperresponsiveness (2,7,29,57) and have been shown to decrease M2 receptor expression (35). This study supports the hypothesis that release of TNF-␣ from alveolar macrophages mediates parathion-induced airway hyperreactivity.…”

“…Macrophages release TNF-␣ and IL-1␤, both of which are increased in the lungs of asthmatics and in animal models of hyperreactivity (5,7). In experimental models, administration of TNF-␣ or IL-1␤ enhances airway reactivity (29,57). Conversely, blocking TNF-␣ or IL-1␤ with specific antagonists prevents airway hyperreactivity caused by antigen and other environmental triggers, such as ozone (35,49,56).…”

“…Long-standing systemic inflammation may give rise to altered expression of certain receptors, including possibly 5-HT2AR, whose expression was reported to be substantially increased on CD3 positive T cells and in the vessels from involved skin in psoriasis patients [26]. Persistent (7 days) exposure to the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-β in murine tracheal rings in vitro was reported to increase 5-HT2AR-mediated airway muscle contractility [27]. The 5-HT2AR was also reported to have played a role in sustained, increased nitric oxide production in animal models of LPS-induced inflammation [28,29].…”
