In bovine alveolar macrophages (BAMs), exposure to leukotoxin (Lkt) and endotoxin (LPS) from Pasteurella haemolytica results in expression of inflammatory cytokine genes and intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) elevation. Leukotoxin from P. haemolytica interacts only with leukocytes and platelets from ruminant species. Upregulation of cytokine genes in different cells by LPS involves activation of the transcription factor NF-kappaB (NF-kappaB), resulting in its translocation from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. Using immunocytochemical staining and confocal imaging, we studied whether NF-kappaB activation represents a common mechanism for the expression of multiple cytokine genes in BAMs (Lkt-susceptible cells) stimulated with Lkt and LPS. Bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells and porcine alveolar macrophages were used as nonsusceptible cells. The role of Ca2+ and tyrosine kinases in NF-kappaB activation and inflammatory cytokine gene expression was studied, since an inhibitor of tyrosine kinases attenuates LPS-induced [Ca2+]i elevation in BAMs. The results are summarized as follows: (a) Lkt induced NF-kappaB activation and [Ca2+]i elevation only in BAMs, while LPS effects were demonstrable in all cell types; (b) chelation of [Ca2+]i blocked NF-kappaB activation and IL-1beta, TNFalpha, and IL-8 mRNA expression; and (c) tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A blocked expression of all three cytokine genes in BAMs stimulated with Lkt, while only the expression of IL-1beta was blocked in BAMs stimulated with LPS. We conclude that cytokine gene expression in BAMs requires NF-kappaB activation and [Ca2+]i elevation, and Lkt effects exhibit cell type- and species specificity.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007375 Interleukin-1 A soluble factor produced by MONOCYTES; MACROPHAGES, and other cells which activates T-lymphocytes and potentiates their response to mitogens or antigens. Interleukin-1 is a general term refers to either of the two distinct proteins, INTERLEUKIN-1ALPHA and INTERLEUKIN-1BETA. The biological effects of IL-1 include the ability to replace macrophage requirements for T-cell activation.

D008070 Lipopolysaccharides Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Lipopolysaccharide,Lipoglycans

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
