We presently investigated the induction of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA by interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) in insulin-producing RINm5F cells. IL-1 beta induced both mRNAs in parallel, with increased levels detectable after 4 h and further increase at 6 h. Aminoguanidine, a blocker of NO production, did not prevent IL-1 beta-induced MnSOD mRNA expression, and SNP, a NO releasing agent, did not induce MnSOD mRNA. Actinomycin D, an inhibitor of gene transcription, prevented IL-1 beta induction of both MnSOD and iNOS mRNA. Cycloheximide, an inhibitor of protein synthesis, prevented IL-1 beta-induced expression of iNOS mRNA, but not MnSOD mRNA. These data suggest that induction of MnSOD mRNA by IL-1 beta is independent of iNOS expression and NO production. Moreover, while expression of iNOS mRNA depends on protein synthesis, MnSOD mRNA induction does not necessarily require this step. Thus, it seems that IL-1 induces genes potentially involved in cell damage (iNOS) and defense (MnSOD) by different mechanisms.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D003513 Cycloheximide Antibiotic substance isolated from streptomycin-producing strains of Streptomyces griseus. It acts by inhibiting elongation during protein synthesis. Actidione,Cicloheximide
D003609 Dactinomycin A compound composed of a two CYCLIC PEPTIDES attached to a phenoxazine that is derived from STREPTOMYCES parvullus. It binds to DNA and inhibits RNA synthesis (transcription), with chain elongation more sensitive than initiation, termination, or release. As a result of impaired mRNA production, protein synthesis also declines after dactinomycin therapy.
