Treatment of rat mesangial cells with interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and forskolin induced, in a synergistic fashion, the expression of group II phospholipase A2 (PLA2) mRNA, with subsequent increased synthesis and secretion of PLA2. In contrast, interleukin-6 did not increase PLA2 mRNA levels of PLA2 activity. Transforming growth factor (TGF) beta 1, TGF beta 2 and TGF beta 3 equipotently attenuated the IL-1 beta- and forskolin-induced elevation of PLA2 mRNA, as well as PLA2 synthesis and secretion. The glucocorticoid dexamethasone only partially suppressed the IL-1 beta- and forskolin-induced elevation of PLA2 mRNA, but totally inhibited PLA2 synthesis and secretion.

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.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
