Unlike for human monocytes after LPS activation, release of TNF-α by THP-1 cells is produced by a TACE catalytically different from constitutive TACE. PLoS One 2012; 7:e34184.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine today identified as a key mediator of several chronic inflammatory diseases. TNF-α, initially synthesized as a membrane-anchored precursor (pro-TNF-α), is processed by proteolytic cleavage to generate the secreted mature form. TNF-α converting enzyme (TACE) is currently the first and single protease described as responsible for the inducible release of soluble TNF-α. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Here, we demonstrated the presence on THP-1 cells as on human monocytes of a constitutive proteolytical activity able to cleave pro-TNF-α. Revelation of the cell surface TACE protein expression confirmed that the observed catalytic activity is due to TACE. However, further studies using effective and innovative TNF-α inhibitors, as well as a highly selective TACE inhibitor, support the presence of a catalytically different sheddase activity on LPS activated THP-1 cells. It appears that this catalytically different TACE protease activity might have a significant contribution to TNF-α release in LPS activated THP-1 cells, by contrast to human monocytes where the TACE activity remains catalytically unchanged even after LPS activation. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE On the surface of LPS activated THP-1 cells we identified a releasing TNF-α activity, catalytically different from the sheddase activity observed on human monocytes from healthy donors. This catalytically-modified TACE activity is different from the constitutive shedding activity and appears only upon stimulation by LPS.

Abstract
ADAM17/TACE is a metalloproteinase responsible for the shedding of the proinflammatory cytokine TNF-α and many other cell surface proteins involved in development, cell adhesion, migration, differentiation, and proliferation. Despite the important biological function of ADAM17, the mechanisms of regulation of its metalloproteinase activity remain largely unknown. We report here that the tetraspanin CD9 and ADAM17 partially co-localize on the surface of endothelial and monocytic cells. In situ proximity ligation, co-immunoprecipitation, crosslinking, and pull-down experiments collectively demonstrate a direct association between these molecules. Functional studies reveal that treatment with CD9-specific antibodies or neoexpression of CD9 exert negative regulatory effects on ADAM17 sheddase activity. Conversely, CD9 silencing increased the activity of ADAM17 against its substrates TNF-α and ICAM-1. Taken together, our results show that CD9 associates with ADAM17 and, through this interaction, negatively regulates the sheddase activity of ADAM17.

Abstract
Steatosis is a prominent feature of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and a potential promoter of inflammation. Injury leading to cirrhosis is partly mediated by dysregulation of matrix protein turnover. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors protect mice from lethal TNF-alpha induced liver injury. We hypothesized that Marimastat, a broad-spectrum MMP and TNF-alpha converting enzyme (TACE) inhibitor, might modulate this injury through interruption of inflammatory pathways. Triglyceride and phospholipid levels (liver, serum) and fatty acid profiles were used to assess essential fatty acid status and de novo lipogenesis as mechanisms for hepatic steatosis. Mice receiving a fat-free, high-carbohydrate diet (HCD) for 19 days developed severe fatty liver infiltration, demonstrated by histology, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and elevated liver function tests. Animals receiving HCD plus Marimastat (HCD+MAR) were comparable to control animals. Increased tissue levels of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-alpha), higher levels of serum IL-6, and decreased levels of serum TNF-alpha receptor II were also seen in the HCD+MAR group compared with HCD-only. In addition, there was increased phosphorylation, and likely activation, of PPAR-alpha in the HCD+MAR group. PPAR-alpha is a transcription factor involved in beta-oxidation of fatty acids, and IL-6 is a hepatoprotective cytokine. Liver triglyceride levels were higher and serum triglyceride and phospholipid levels lower with HCD-only but improved with Marimastat treatment. HCD-only and HCD+MAR groups were essential fatty acid deficient and had elevated rates of de novo lipogenesis. We therefore conclude that Marimastat reduces liver triglyceride accumulation by increasing fat oxidation and/or liver clearance of triglycerides. This may be related to increased expression and activation of PPAR-alpha or IL-6, respectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fatty split-liver and living-related liver transplantation is associated with massive hepatocellular necrosis during acute rejection. Uncoupling protein (UCP)-2 is a potential regulator of energy expenditure and ATP production. We investigated the role of UCP-2 and the effects of a metalloprotease inhibitor, Y-39083, on hepatocellular injury in fatty liver allografts in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Rats were treated for 6 weeks with high-ethanol or isocalic dextrose-containing liquid diets that caused characteristic pericentral lipid accumulation. Alcoholic or nonalcoholic fatty livers from ACI (RT1a) rats were transplanted into LEW (RT1l) rats orthotopically. Hepatic necrosis was determined histologically following liver transplantation. UCP-2 mRNA levels in the hepatic allograft and in primary cultured hepatocytes from fatty liver stimulated by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha were determined. Y-39083 was administered to recipient rats continuously at 5 mg/kg/day using an osmotic infusion mini-pump. RESULTS The acute rejection index on day 5 posttransplant in alcoholic and nonalcoholic fatty donor livers was higher than in lean grafts. Massive hepatocyte necrosis was more prominent in alcoholic than nonalcoholic fatty liver allografts and was not seen in lean allografts. UCP-2 transcripts in both alcoholic and nonalcoholic fatty liver allografts were higher than in lean allografts. Serum TNF-alpha concentrations in recipient rats with either fatty liver allograft were greater than in animals with lean allografts. In vitro UCP-2 mRNA levels in primary cultured hepatocytes from both alcoholic and nonalcoholic fatty livers increased more after stimulation with TNF-alpha than those from lean livers. In vitro TNF-alpha production by Kupffer cells isolated from alcohol-induced fatty liver allografts on day 3 posttransplant was greater than those from lean allografts. Y-39083 significantly reduced serum concentrations of TNF-alpha and prevented massive hepatocellular necrosis in rats with both alcoholic and nonalcoholic fatty liver allografts. CONCLUSION Liver grafts with steatosis up-regulated UCP-2. TNF-alpha further enhanced UCP-2 transcripts, inducing massive hepatocellular necrosis during acute rejection. Posttransplantation necrosis may be prevented by metalloprotease inhibitors.

Abstract
Exposure of macrophages to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces release of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), which is initially synthesized as a 26-kDa pro-TNF-alpha followed by proteolytic processing to a 17-kDa secreted form. In this study, justicidin A, an arylnaphthalide lignan isolated from Justicia procumbens, was found to inhibit LPS-stimulated TNF-alpha release from RAW 264.7 macrophages in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, and the underlying mechanism was investigated. In the presence of justicidin A, challenge with LPS increased the steady-state level of the 26-kDa membrane-bound form of TNF-alpha protein, whereas justicidin A had little effect on the expression of TNF-alpha mRNA and on the synthesis of pro-TNF-alpha protein. Results of the pulse-chase experiment, revealed that the conversion of pro-TNF-alpha to mature TNF-alpha was inhibited by justicidin A. Moreover, justicidin A suppressed the transport of TNF-alpha to cell surface as analyzed by flow cytometry. The immunofluorescence analysis demonstrated that large amounts of LPS-induced TNF-alpha accumulated primarily within Golgi complex. These results indicate that justicidin A inhibits TNF-alpha release at the step of transport of pro-TNF-alpha to cell surface, and this leads to the accumulation of TNF-alpha in Golgi complex in RAW 264.7 macrophages.

Abstract
MMP-9 (92 kDa) is the major gelatinase able to degrade collagen IV, secreted by keratinocytes that are actively involved in wound-healing or tumorigenesis. Since the invasive phenotype of cancers is dependent on MMP-9 expression, it appeared of interest to precisely characterize which signal transduction pathways activated by TNF-alpha are involved in MMP-9 up-regulation induced by TNF-alpha. In HaCaT cells, activation of MMP-9 occurs at the transcriptional level. Inhibition of the MAPK pathway using specific inhibitors of the Ras, Raf, MEK1/2, and Erk1/2 cascade was correlated with a marked inhibition of MMP-9 activity, as determined by gene and protein expression. MAPK pathway activation via TNF-alpha was confirmed by marked AP-1 activation detected in EMSA. Under our experimental conditions, p38 MAPK and SAPK/JNK pathways were not activated. Gene and protein expression of other MMPs that regulate MMP-9, such as MMP-1 and MMP-13, were also up-regulated by TNF-alpha and inhibited by UO126, providing evidence that the MAPK pathway plays a fundamental role in the regulation of MMP-9 secretion by keratinocytes. As TNF-alpha is known to be a main activator of NF-kappaB pathway, the effects of campthothecin and caffeic acid were investigated, such as, TNF-alpha campthothecin up-regulated MMP-9 activity but caffeic acid only weakly inhibited MMP-9 activation induced by TNF-alpha. However, NF-kappaB is activated as shown from immunostaining data, a nuclear staining and higher Western blotting expression of p50 and p65 NF-kappaB subunits were detected after TNF-alpha treatment. A higher specific signal was also detected in EMSA for TNF-alpha-treated cells.

Abstract
The angiogenic factor thymidine phosphorylase (TP) is highly expressed in human monocytes and macrophages, and its expression has been linked to the pathology and progression of solid tumors, rheumatoid arthritis, and gastric ulcers. In this study, TP mRNA and enzyme activity were found to be up-regulated upon the induction of differentiation of the human monocyte cell line THP-1 by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). TP expression in THP-1 cells was similarly increased by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha). Because monocytes and macrophages are a predominant source of TNFalpha, the up-regulation of TP upon THP-1 differentiation could have been caused by the autocrine production of TNFalpha. In support of this hypothesis, PMA increased TNFalpha mRNA levels; furthermore, the increase in TP expression with PMA treatment was partially blocked by a neutralizing antibody to TNFalpha, particularly at the earlier time points. This data also suggested there may be additional mechanisms regulating TP expression upon PMA treatment of the cells. The induction of TP by TNFalpha was mimicked by an antibody to the TNFalpha receptor R2 (TNF-R2; p75), but not by an antibody to TNF-R1 (p55), suggesting that the TNF-R2 plays a role in the regulation of TP expression. The PMA-induced increase in TP expression was blocked by aspirin but not by the related agent indomethacin, suggesting that aspirin's effect was not caused by the inhibition of cellular cyclooxygenases. An alternative mechanism by which aspirin inhibits gene expression is the modulation of the transcription factor NFkappaB, and the TNFalpha-induced increase in TP mRNA was blocked by a cell-permeable NFkappaB inhibitory peptide. Furthermore, TNFalpha increased and aspirin (but not indomethacin) decreased NFkappaB DNA-binding activity in THP-1 cells. In conclusion, the modulation of TP expression in monocytes by pro- and anti-inflammatory agents suggests that its angiogenic-related actions could contribute to the inflammatory response associated with a number of pathophysiological conditions.

Abstract
Transferrin (Tf) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) participate in immune response regulation. We studied the capacity of Tf to modulate 'in vitro' TNF-alpha secretion, membrane expression and transcription by human blood mononuclear cells (BMNC). Women 25-45 years of age with normal iron status (n = 20) or with iron deficiency (ID, n = 20) due to gynaecological bleeding were studied. BMNC were incubated with different proportions of Fe-exempt and Fe-saturated Tf (apo-Tf:holo-Tf). Apo-Tf or holo-Tf uniformly induced TNF-alpha secretion in the cell supernatants from both groups. Nevertheless, cytokine levels were significantly lower in ID subjects. For all Tf-Fe saturations assayed, mean TNF-alpha levels varied between 1.4-1.6 ng/ml and 0.4-0.7 ng/ml for normal and ID women respectively (P < 0.001). The addition of apo-Tf enhanced TNF-alpha secretion in a dose-dependent manner, but the cytokine levels were lower in ID group. Tf did not induce pro-TNF-alpha expression in monocytes and lymphocytes from either group. Tf-treated cells from normal individuals expressed approximately two to three times more TNF-alpha mRNA than cells from ID subjects. Mean values ranged 96-110 atmol/ml in normal women and 24-31 atmol/ml in ID women for all Tf-Fe saturation levels tested (P < 0.001). These results show that Tf-induced TNF-alpha secretion is transcriptionally regulated. The impaired TNF-alpha transcription in cells from ID subjects indicates that the quality of the immune response is linked to the Fe status of mononuclear cells.

Abstract
To investigate the role of ERK signaling in human skin responses to wounding, organ cultures of human skin were maintained for 0.5-24 h in the presence of various inhibitors, followed by measurement of ERK phosphorylation or mRNA levels. The MEK inhibitor PD98059 produced near-complete (97-98%) inhibition of ERK phosphorylation, whereas inhibition of c-Fos, c-Jun, HB-EGF, AR, and VEGF mRNA by this compound was incomplete (41-65%). PD98059 was significantly more effective than either PD158780 or BB2516 as an inhibitor of ERK phosphorylation and of the rapid rise in c-Fos and c-Jun mRNA expression. In contrast, all three compounds inhibited the more delayed rise in HB-EGF mRNA to the same extent. Exogenous epidermal growth factor abrogated the inhibition of ERK phosphorylation caused by BB2516. These data indicate that one or more metalloproteinases activate ErbB signaling in skin organ culture, that ErbB signaling plays an important but not exclusive role in the activation of ERK, and that non-ERK pathways contribute to gene expression in this system. Because metalloproteinase-mediated cleavage of the HB-EGF transmembrane precursor is known to be ERK-dependent, our data suggest that ERK activation resulting from initial trauma leads to metalloproteinase-mediated cleavage of HB-EGF, thereby triggering the ErbB signaling cascade.

Abstract
Leukocyte extravasation into tissues is a multi-step process culminating in the migration of cells through the basement membrane. This requires the production of matrix-degrading enzymes, in particular matrix metalloproteinases (MMP). We investigated the role of chemokines in regulating MMP production in the monocytic cell line THP-1 and in peripheral blood monocytes (PBM). The CC chemokines CCL2 (MCP-1), CCL3 (MIP-1alpha), and CCL5 (RANTES) stimulated the release of monocyte MMP-9 protein in a bell-shaped dose-dependent manner. The increase in MMP-9 protein detected at 24 h was due to de novo synthesis, confirmed by Northern blotting, with MMP-9 mRNA detectable at 6-8 h. Autocrine TNF-alpha was necessary for chemokine stimulation of MMP-9. Chemokines increased TNF-alpha mRNA levels and protein release in monocytes and THP-1 cells, and neutralizing anti-TNF-alpha antibodies inhibited CCL2-induced MMP-9 release. Furthermore, the broad spectrum MMP inhibitor BB 2516, which inhibits TNF-alpha release, abrogated CCL2- and CCL5-induced MMP-9 release in both THP-1 cells and freshly isolated monocytes. Monocyte production of MMP is of major importance in the pathology of cancer, asthma, and rheumatoid arthritis. An understanding of the mechanisms by which these MMP are produced may lead to novel therapies to modulate extravasation of leukocytes in disease.

Abstract
A novel series of sulfone N-formylhydroxylamines (retrohydroxamates) have been investigated as matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) inhibitors. The substitution of the ether linkage of ABT-770 (5) with a sulfone group 13a led to a substantial increase in activity against MMP-9 but was accompanied by a loss of selectivity for inhibition of MMP-2 and -9 over MMP-1 and diminished oral exposure. Replacement of the biphenyl P1' substituent with a phenoxyphenyl group provided compounds that are highly selective for inhibition of MMP-2 and -9 over MMP-1. Optimization of the substituent adjacent to the retrohydroxamate center in this series led to the clinical candidate ABT-518 (6), a highly potent, selective, orally bioavailable MMP inhibitor that has been shown to significantly inhibit tumor growth in animal cancer models.

Abstract
Modification of the P(1)' substituent of macrocyclic matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors provided compounds that are selective for inhibition of tumor necrosis factor-alpha converting enzyme (TACE) over MMP-1 and MMP-2. Several analogues potently inhibited the release of TNF-alpha in a THP-1 cellular assay. Compounds containing a trimethoxyphenyl group in the P(1)' substituent demonstrated TACE selectivity across several series of hydroxamate-based inhibitors.

Abstract
Treatment of macrophages with pyridinyl imidazole inhibitors of p38 protein kinases can inhibit lipopolysaccharide-stimulated tumor necrosis factor alpha secretion. However, bone marrow-derived macrophages from tristetraprolin (TTP)-deficient mice were less sensitive than normal macrophages to this effect of p38 inhibitors, despite evidence for normal p38 activation in response to lipopolysaccharide. TTP is known to cause decreased stability of tumor necrosis factor alpha and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor mRNAs after binding to an AU-rich element in their 3'-untranslated regions. A recombinant TTP fusion protein could be phosphorylated by a recombinant p38 kinase in cell-free assays and was phosphorylated to the same extent by immunoprecipitated p38 derived from normal and TTP-deficient cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide; in both cases, the enzyme activity was inhibited by the p38 inhibitors. TTP phosphorylation also was increased in intact macrophages after lipopolysaccharide stimulation, an effect that was blocked by the p38 inhibitors. Finally, TTP in mammalian cell extracts bound less well to an AU-rich element RNA probe than did the same amount of TTP following dephosphorylation. These results suggest that TTP may be a component of the signaling cascade, initiated by inflammatory stimuli and mediated in part by activation of p38, that ultimately leads to enhanced secretion of tumor necrosis factor alpha.

Abstract
Activated monocytes and macrophages secrete the inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). TNF-alpha is produced as a 26 kd transmembrane protein that is cleaved to release a 17 kd soluble protein. TNF-alpha in both forms is biologically active. The intracellular trafficking of membrane-associated TNF-alpha in lipopolysaccharide-activated mouse macrophages was assessed after treatment with the metalloprotease inhibitor BB-3103, which prevents the cleavage of pro-TNF-alpha. Immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence studies showed sustained expression of cell-associated TNF-alpha in the presence of the inhibitor. Cell immunoreactivity and surface biotinylation revealed that uncleaved TNF-alpha accumulated on the cell surface and was endocytosed, appearing in intracellular vesicles. Perturbation of post-Golgi traffic blocked the surface expression of 26 kd TNF-alpha. Tracking a bolus of TNF-alpha over time in cycloheximide-treated cells confirmed that uncleaved TNF-alpha is first transported to the cell surface and subsequently endocytosed. Vesicular structures immunoreactive for TNF-alpha were identified as endosomes by double labeling. The secretory and membrane-associated endocytic trafficking of TNF-alpha provides a mechanism for modulating the quantity of biologically active 26 kd TNF-alpha expressed on macrophages, allowing regulation of paracrine and autocrine responses.

Abstract
We determined previously that lipoproteins of Borrelia burgdorferi stimulate inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-10 [IL-10]) in monocytes. IL-10 could have an effect on innate and acquired immune responses to B. burgdorferi and influence the magnitude of the infectious inoculum and disease outcome. To understand the mechanism(s) of IL-10 action during early infection, when innate immunity expressed chiefly by skin macrophages is key, we investigated the effect of exogenous and endogenous IL-10 on the production of the macrophage-derived cytokines IL-6, IL-1beta, IL-12, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha). We used the THP-1 human monocytic cell line and recombinant lipidated OspA (L-OspA) as the model target cell and stimulant, respectively. To determine the kinetics of cytokine production by THP-1 cells, we stimulated them with L-OspA and also with heat-killed B. burgdorferi cells (HBb) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Exogenous IL-10 dampened production of inflammatory cytokines, as elicited by lipoproteins. The inhibition of endogenous IL-10 function by anti-IL-10 antibody reduced the production of IL-12 and IL-6 but not that of IL-1beta and TNF-alpha. An inspection of the kinetics of cytokine production clarified this finding. TNF-alpha was produced prior to, and IL-beta was produced at the same time as, IL-10, whereas IL-6 and IL-12 were produced later. HBb, LPS, and L-OspA yielded similar kinetics of cytokine production. This result reinforces the notion that lipoproteins are the functional molecules in HBb and perhaps in vivo. It indicates also that signaling pathways utilized by LPS and lipoproteins may be extensively shared. The results are consistent with a major role played by IL-10 in controlling the initial phase of infection with this spirochete.

Abstract
Chronic constriction injury (CCI) to peripheral nerve causes a painful neuropathy in association with a process of axonal degeneration and endoneural remodeling that involves macrophage recruitment and local increase in extracellular proteases and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha). Cell surface activation of TNF-alpha from its transmembrane precursor, as well as sequestration of TNF-alpha receptors II and I, is performed by the zinc-dependent endopeptidase family of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Among TNF-alpha-converting MMPs, basal lamina degrading gelatinases are thought to play a role in sciatic nerve injury. In the present study, we determined the forms of TNF-alpha involved in the development of CCI neuropathy in rats, using Western blot analysis, and the temporal correlation of TNF-alpha and TNFRI protein profiles with gelatinases activity at the site of peripheral nerve injury. We observed two peaks in TNF-alpha protein during the first week of CCI that correspond to previously reported peaks in painful behavior. We propose that the first peak at 6 h post-CCI is due to the local expression of the cytotoxic transmembrane 26 kDa TNF-alpha protein released by resident Schwann cells, mast cells and macrophages. This peak in TNF-alpha protein expression corresponds to an increase in gelatinase B (MMP-9) activity, which is greatly upregulated as early as 3 h following CCI to rat sciatic nerve. The second peak occurs at 5 days post-CCI, and may represent TNF-alpha protein released by hematogenously recruited macrophages. This peak is marked by the increase in active soluble 17 kDa TNF-alpha and by gelatinase A (MMP-2) upregulation. These observations suggest that there is a pathogenic role for the TNF-alpha-converting function of MMP-2 in painful CCI neuropathy. We conclude that severe nerve injury induces MMPs, TNF-alpha and TNFRI, which interactively control the privileged endoneurial environment and the pathogenesis of the painful neuropathies associated with the macrophage-dependent processes of Wallerian degeneration.
