Abstract

The role of members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family on tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha)-mediated down-regulation of col1a1 gene was studied. TNF-alpha increased extracellular-regulated kinase and Jun-N-terminal kinase phosphorylation, but these effects were not related to its inhibitory effect on alpha1(I) procollagen (col1a1) mRNA levels. Phosphorylation of p38 MAPK was decreased in response to TNF-alpha, and the specific p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 mimicked the effect of TNF-alpha on col1a1 mRNA levels. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) increased p38 MAPK phosphorylation and SB203580 prevented the induction of col1a1 mRNA levels by TGF-beta. These results suggest that p38 MAPK plays an important role in regulating the expression of col1a1 in hepatic stellate cells in response to cytokines.

Description

In this report our results indicate that p38 MAPK is a keymediator of the anti-fibrogenic efect of TNF-alpha and the profibrogenic efect of TBF-beta in HSC.
