Growth hormone-induced production of cytokines in murine peritoneal macrophages in vitro: role of JAK/STAT, PI3K, PKC and MAP kinases
Abstract
The immunomodulatory properties of growth hormone (GH) are well recognized. Enhanced production of NO and cytokines by macrophages on treatment with GH was reported by us recently. The present investigation elucidates the signaling mechanism(s) by which GH activates macrophages in vitro. It is observed that GH induces the phosphorylation (activation) of JAK2, PI3K, PKC and MAP kinases. Studies with pharmacological inhibitors of various signaling molecules also indicated that GH-induced proinflammatory responses in macrophages are mediated by JAK2/PI3K/PKC/ERK1/2, JAK2/JNK and JAK/STAT signaling cascades. It was further observed that GH induced the enhanced expression/phosphorylation of transcription factors c-fos, c-jun, Elk-1 and Stat1. It is also demonstrated that GH-induced ERK1/2 cascade regulates the production of TNF-alpha and IL-1beta in macrophages, whereas JNK cascade mediated the production of TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma and IL-12. These results suggest that JAK2 plays a central role in mediating proinflammatory responses of macrophages on GH treatment.
