Abstract

Background and Aims : Pre-induction of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is known to effectively attenuate the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response in lung tissue. However, it is unclear if HSP70 induction after LPS exposure attenuates the subsequent LPS-induced inflammatory response in alveolar epithelial cells. This study examined the effects of HSP70 induction after LPS exposure on the IL-6 production and the cell viability after a subsequent LPS challenge in murine alveolar epithelial cells, and investigated whether or not HSP70 itself may be involved in those effects. Methods : Murine alveolar epithelial cells were cultured and divided into two groups; the Non-Pre-LPS group without a LPS pre-treatment and the Pre-LPS group with a LPS pre-treatment. Each group was subdivided into the following four subgroups: subgroup C (control), subgroup Q (quercetin), subgroup HSP70 (HSP70 induction), and subgroup HSP70-Inh (HSP70 inhibition). HSP70 expression, which was induced by sodium arsenite and inhibited by quercetin, was analyzed by western blot analysis. The IL-6 levels in the culture supernatant were measured by ELISA, and the cell viability was measured using a simplified MTT assay. Results : The IL-6 levels were lower in subgroup HSP70 than in subgroup C (P<0.01), and were higher in subgroup HSP70-Inh than in subgroup HSP70 in both the Non-Pre-LPS and Pre-LPS groups (P<0.05, P<0.01). The cell viability tended to decrease in the Pre-LPS group compared with the Non-Pre-LPS group. While the cell viability was higher in subgroups Q, HSP70, and HSP70-Inh than in subgroup C in the Non-Pre-LPS group (P<0.05, P<0.05, P<0.01), there was no difference in cell viability among the subgroups in the Pre-LPS group. Conclusion : HSP70 induction after a LPS pre-treatment in murine alveolar epithelial cells inhibits the subsequent LPS-induced IL-6 production without affecting the cell viability, and HSP70 by itself may play an important role in this proccess.

목 적 : 폐포상피세포의 LPS 전처치 여부에 따라 HSP70 유도가 추가 LPS 자극에 의한 IL-6 생성능 및 세포생존도에 미치는 영향과 그 기전에 HSP70이 관여하는 지를 관찰하였다. 방 법 : 쥐의 폐포상피세포를 배양하여 LPS 전처치군과 비처치군으로 분류한 후, 각 군을 다시 대조군, quercetin 단독투여군, HSP70 유도군, HSP70 억제군으로 나누어 추가 LPS자극 후에 HSP70 발현, IL-6 생성능 및 세포생존도를 관찰하였다. HSP70 유도에는 sodium arsenite(SA)를, HSP70 억제에는 quercetin을 사용하였으며, HSP70 발현은 western blot으로, IL-6 생성능은 ELISA로 측정하였다. 세포생존도는 단순화한 MTT 측정법으로 관찰하였다. 결 과 : 세포 생존도에 영향을 미치지 않으면서 충분한 HSP70 발현을 유도하는 SA 농도는 $50{\mu}M$, HSP70 발현을 억제하는 quercetin 농도는 $100{\mu}M$이었다. LPS 전치치 여부에 상관없이 HSP70 유도군은 대조군에 비해 추가 LPS자극에 의한 IL-6 생성능이 현저히 감소하였으며, HSP70 억제군은 HSP70 유도군에 비해 추가 LPS자극에 의한 IL-6 생성능이 유의하게 다시 증가하였다. 세포생존도는 LPS 비처치군에서는 각 실험군이 대조군에 비해 유의하게 증가하였지만, LPS 전처치군에서는 각 군 간에 차이가 없었다. 결 론 : 이와 같은 결과는 쥐폐포상피세포에서 LPS 전처치 후에 HSP70 유도를 하면 세포생존도에는 영향을 미치지 않으면서 추가 LPS 자극에 따른 IL-6 생성능이 억제되며, 이러한 현상이 나타나는 기전에는 HSP70 자체가 중요한 역할을 하고 있음을 시사한다.
