Nitric oxide,(NO) release upon microglial cell activation has been implicated in the tissue injury and cell death in many neurodegenerative diseases Recent studies have indicated the ability of interferon-gamma (IFN gamma) and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) to independently induce type 11 nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression and NO production in BV-2 microglial cells. However, a detailed comparison between the signaling pathways activating iNOS by these two agents has not been accomplished. Analysis of PKC isoforms revealed mainly the presence of PKC delta, L and X in BV-2 cells. Although both IFN gamma and LPS could specifically enhance the tyrosine phosphorylation of PKC delta, treatment with IFN gamma induced a steady increase of phospho-PKC delta for up to 1 h, whereas treatment with LPS elevated phospho-PKC delta levels only transiently, with peak activity at 5 min. Rottlerin, a specific inhibitor for PKC delta, dose-dependently inhibited IFN gamma- and LPS-induced NO production. Despite the common involvement of PKC delta, IFN gamma- but not LPS-induced NO production involved extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK1/2) cascade and IFN gamma-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2 was mediated through PKC. On the other hand, LPS- but not IFN gamma-induced NO production was through stimulation of NF-kappa B activation and nuclear translocation to interact with DNA. These results demonstrated distinct signaling pathways for induction of iNOS by IFN gamma and LPS in BV-2 microglial cells. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
