Abstract
Periodontitis is a kind of chronic inflammatory disease that affects the tooth-supporting tissues. ET-1 is related to periodontitis and involved in the regulation of cytokines, but the mechanisms remain unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate how ET-1 affects proinflammatory cytokine expression and differentiation in human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). PDLSCs were isolated from the periodontal ligament tissues of periodontitis patients and then treated with ET-1 (1, 10, or 100 nM) for 12 h, 24 h, or 72 h. The osteogenic potential of PDLSCs was tested using ALP staining. TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels were evaluated by ELISA and western blot. Runx2, OCN, and COL1 mRNA and western levels were detected by RT-PCR and western blot, respectively. To examine the signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms involved in ET-1-mediated cytokine expression and osteogenic differentiation, ETR pathway, MAPKs pathway, Wnt/β-catenin pathway, and Wnt/Ca2+ pathway were detected by RT-PCR and western blot, respectively. ET-1 promoted differentiation of PDLSCs into osteoblasts by increasing secretion of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in a dose- and time-dependent manner. ET-1 also increased expression of Runx2, OCN, and COL1. ET-1 promotes differentiation of PDLSCs into osteoblasts through ETR, MAPK, and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways under inflammatory microenvironment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a 21-amino acid peptide with multifunctional regulation. Initial research indicated that ET-1 is related to the inflammatory pathogenesis of periodontitis and involved in the regulation of cytokines, but the mechanisms involved remain unclear. The primary aim of this study is to investigate how ET-1 affects proinflammatory cytokine expression in human periodontal ligament (hPDL) cells. METHODS hPDL cells were obtained from both healthy (H)- and periodontitis (P)-affected periodontal tissues. H-hPDL and P-hPDL cells were treated with ET-1 (1, 10, and 100 nM) for 12, 24, and 48 hours. The untreated cells served as a control. To confirm the specificity of the ET-1 effects, 100 nM of the specific endothelin A (ETA) receptor antagonist BQ123 and 100 nM of the specific ETB receptor antagonist BQ788, as negative control, were used. To examine the signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms involved in ET-1-mediated cytokine expression, H-hPDL and P-hPDL cells were pretreated with specific inhibitors for extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2) (PD98059), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SP600125), and p38 kinase (SB203580) for 1 hour before 100 nM ET-1 stimulation. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein levels were evaluated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. RESULTS ET-1 dose- and time-dependently induced the production of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 by H-hPDL and P-hPDL cells at both mRNA and protein levels. However, ETA and ETB receptor antagonists inhibited the stimulatory effects of ET-1 on inflammatory cytokine expression in H-hPDL and P-hPDL cells. Furthermore, inhibitors of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) significantly reduced ET-1-stimulated TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 expression in H-hPDL and P-hPDL cells. CONCLUSION ET-1 may be involved in the inflammatory process of periodontitis, at least in part, by stimulating proinflammatory cytokine production via the MAPK pathway in hPDL cells.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) associates with excess cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. Hypertension, a highly prevalent entity in RA, has been associated with the endothelin-1 (ET-1) gene locus (EDN1) in some groups, such as Afro-Caribbean, the obese, and in low-renin states, but not in the general population as a whole. High levels of plasma ET-1 have been observed in RA. This study evaluated the potential association of EDN1 gene locus and serum ET-1 levels with hypertension in patients with RA. Genomic DNA and serum samples were collected from 397 well-characterized RA patients; DNA was also available from 401 local general population controls without RA. To explore the overall relevance of EDN1, two suitable single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs1800541 and rs5370, were selected and haplotype analysis was performed. Both SNPs were identified using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and melting curve analysis. Genetic analysis was related to hypertension as dichotomous trait and to blood pressure indices as continuous variables. Serum endothelin levels were also assessed in the RA patients. No genotype or haplotype differences were observed between RA and control subjects. Within RA, logistic regression analysis of each SNP separately revealed a threefold increase in the adjusted odds of being hypertensive of rs5370 TT homozygotes compared to GG homozygotes (OR = 2.89, 95%CI: 1.02 to 8.19). After adjustment for multiple potential confounders, haplotype analysis revealed an additive effect of the rs1800541-rs5370 T-T haplotype on hypertension (OR = 2.96, 95%CI: 1.28 to 6.86; p = .011), systolic blood pressure (SBP) (beta = 6.75 +/- 2.57 mm Hg; p = .009), and pulse pressure (PP) (beta = 4.37 +/- 2.12 mm Hg; p = .040). There was an increased prevalence of raised ET-1 levels amongst hypertensive RA patients, whereas a similar trend was observed for T-T haplotype carriers. RA patients who carry the rs1800541-rs5370 T-T EDN1 haplotype appear more likely to be hypertensive with an increased SBP and PP. These findings, if replicated in future studies, could be used as a screening tool for RA patients at increased hypertension, and thus cardiovascular, risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Asthma is a chronic airway disease, known to involve several inflammatory mediators. Little is known about how these mediators interact in order to produce or attenuate even basic features of the disease, like airway hyper-reactivity and remodelling. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) and IL-1beta are two mediators suggested to play important roles in the induction of airway inflammation. OBJECTIVE To investigate the interactions between ET-1 and IL-1beta, using a novel in vitro model of asthma, focusing on airway smooth muscle contractility. METHODS Isolated murine tracheal segments were cultured from 1 to 8 days in the absence and presence of IL-1beta. The subsequent contractile responses to sarafotoxin 6c (S6c) (selective agonist for ETB receptor) and sarafotoxin 6b (S6b) (ETA and ETB receptor agonist) were recorded by a myographs system. In all experiments, ETB receptors were desensitized before the contractile response to S6b was recorded. Thus, the response to S6b is only mediated by ETA receptors in the present study. The mRNA expressions for ET-1 and endothelin (ET) receptors were quantified by real-time PCR. RESULTS Organ culture in the presence of IL-1beta attenuated the maximal contraction induced by S6c, but not S6b. This reduction was concentration-dependent and was significant after 2, 4 and 8 days of culture. To investigate the mechanisms behind this, inhibitors for endothelin converting enzyme (ECE) phosphoramidon, c-JUN N-terminal kinase (JNK) SP600125, extracellular-signal-regulated kinase 1/2(ERK 1/2) PD98059 and p38 pathway SB203580 were used. Individually, SP600125 and PD98059, but not SB203580, could partly reverse the reduction induced by IL-1beta. An additional effect was obtained when SP600125 and PD98059 were combined. The mRNA expressions for ET-1 and ETB receptor were up- and down-regulated, respectively, by IL-1beta. CONCLUSION Presence of IL-1beta in the airways attenuate the contractile response mediated via ETB receptors, an effect dependent on ECE, JNK and ERK 1/2 pathways.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that interleukin (IL)-1 plays a permissive role in respiratory epithelial cell migration and proliferation. STUDY DESIGN Primary cultures of porcine respiratory epithelial cells or tracheal organ explants were cultured in the presence or absence of function-blocking antibodies to IL-1. Areas of epithelial cell outgrowth were determined in control and antibody-treated organ explants daily for 4 days. At intervals, cultured cells were collected for cell counting and viability determination. Time course and dose-response curves were constructed for control and antibody-treated groups. RESULTS Interleukin-1 secretion into culture supernatants increased sharply from days 3 to 7. Outgrowths from tracheal explants were reduced by greater than 60% by single antibody treatment, and by over 90% by treatment with antibodies to both IL-1alpha and -1beta by day 4 of culture. Function-blocking antibodies to IL-1 significantly reduced cell number by day 7 of culture. CONCLUSIONS Interleukin-1 is produced by respiratory epithelial cells in culture during log phase growth and plays a permissive role in cell migration and proliferation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Interleukin (IL)-1beta, a product of activated peritoneal macrophages, is a central cytokine coordinating neovascularization and monocyte chemotaxis in endometriotic implants. To evaluate the effects of this cytokine on normal endometrial stromal cells and endometriotic stromal cells we performed cDNA expression array analyses before and after exposure to IL-1beta. DESIGN Nested case-control study of women with and without laparoscopic evidence of endometriosis. SETTING Reproductive endocrinology clinic at a university hospital. PATIENT(S) Endometriosis and normal endometrial biopsies from eight patients were used to prepare stromal cell cultures from which mRNA was extracted. INTERVENTION(S) None. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Commercially available expression arrays (Atlas Human cDNA Expression Array, Clontech, representing 597 individual genes) were used to screen for mRNAs whose expression was affected by 12 hours of exposure to IL-1beta (10 ng/mL). Northern blotting and subsequent quantitative densitometric evaluation was done to confirm steady-state levels of Tob-1 mRNA transcripts. RESULT(S) Array analyses revealed a cell-cycle regulatory gene, Tob-1, which was differentially expressed by the two cell types after incubation with IL-1beta. Tob-1 was reduced 48% in endometriotic stromal cells exposed to IL-1beta, but there was only a 16% reduction in normal endometrial stromal cells. Replicate Northern analyses (n = 4) showed that exposure to IL-1beta for 12 hours resulted in a 25% +/- 5% diminution of Tob-1 mRNA in endometriotic stromal cells. In contrast, no significant decrease (<3%) was observed in IL-1beta exposed normal endometrial stromal cells. CONCLUSION(S) Tob-1, a cell-cycle inhibitor gene is differentially responsive to IL-1beta in endometriotic stromal cells compared to normal endometrial stromal cells. IL-1beta down-regulated Tob-1 in endometriotic stromal cells, but had no significant effect on normal endometrial stromal cells. Our results suggest that IL-1beta promotes growth of endometriotic lesions through inhibition of Tob-1. These findings are the first to associate IL-1beta with an alteration of cell-cycle gene expression in cells derived from endometriotic implants.

Abstract
Antenatal inflammation may be an important triggering event in the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia but may also accelerate fetal lung maturation. We examined the effects of intra-amniotic (IA) interleukin (IL)-1 alpha and IL-1 beta on maturation of the fetal sheep lung. These cytokine effects were compared with IA endotoxin, a potent proinflammatory stimulus that accelerated lung maturation. Date-bred ewes received 15 or 150 microg recombinant ovine IL-1 alpha or IL-1 beta or 10 mg Escherichia coli endotoxin by IA injection at 118 days gestation (term = 150 days), and fetuses were delivered at 125 days. IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta improved lung function and increased alveolar saturated phosphatidylcholine (Sat PC) and surfactant protein mRNA expression at the higher dose. The maturation response to IL-1 alpha was greater than that to IL-1 beta, which was similar to endotoxin response. Inflammation was also more pronounced after IL-1 alpha treatment. Only endotoxin animals had residual inflammation of the fetal membranes at 7 days. Lung compliance, lung volume, and alveolar Sat PC were positively correlated with residual alveolar wash leukocyte numbers 7 days after IL-1 treatment, suggesting a link between lung inflammation and maturation.

Abstract
The signalling mechanisms in oxidative stress mediated by cytokines in the perinatal alveolar epithelium are not well known. In an in vitro model of fetal alveolar type II epithelial cells, we investigated the profile of cytokines in response to ascending Deltap O(2)regimen (oxyexcitation). The peak of TNF-alpha (4 h) preceded IL-1beta and IL-6 (6-9 h), indicating a positive feedback autocrine loop confirmed by exogenous rmTNF-alpha. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced a dose-dependent release of cytokines, an effect specifically obliterated by selective antioxidants of the hydroxyl radical (*OH) and superoxide anion (O(2)-). Actinomycin and cycloheximide blocked the induced production of cytokines, implicating transcriptional and translational control. Whilst the dismutating enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase were ineffective in reducing ROS-induced cytokines, MnP, a cell-permeating SOD mimetic, abrogated xanthine/xanthine oxidase-dependent cytokine release. Desferrioxamine mesylate, which inhibits the iron-catalysed generation of *OH via the Fenton reaction, exhibited a mild effect on the release of cytokines. Dynamic variation in alveolar p O(2)constitutes a potential signalling mechanism within the perinatal lung allowing upregulation of cytokines in an ROS-dependent manner.
