项目摘要

Oxygen radicals are generated under various pathologic condition including inflammation, ischemia reperfusion, sepsis and ultraviolet light irradiation, The vascular endothelium is one of the prime targets for oxidant injury in a variety of inflammatory conditions. It is reported that hypoxic or hyperoxic stress induces angiogenic signaling in human glioma cells. Among angiogenic factors, we especially focused on the mechanism of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) induction under various stress.1) The expression of VEGF has been implicated in brain tumor angiogenesis and the promoter region for VEGF gene conditions several SP-1 and AP-1 (c-fos/c-jun) binding motifs. Among 8 human glioma cell lines, cellular mRNA levels of transcription factors, SP-1 and AP-1 (c-fos/c-jun), were found to be closely correlated with those of VEGF.Our data indicate that VEGF gene expression by bFGF or TNF-alpha is mediated in part through the transcription factor SP-1, and that by hypoxia is mediated through the transcription factor AP-1.2) Another angiogeic factor is the cytokine, IL-8, that is produced at high levels in monocytes, macrophages and also human brain tumors. IL-8 induces cell migration of human umbilical endothelial cells, angiogenesis in rat cornea and tubular morphogenesis by microvascular endothelilal cells. Recent studies demonstrate that the IL-8 gene promoter region contains binding sites for AP-1 and NFxB.Moreover, co-administration of anti-IL-8 antibody inhibited tubular morphogenesis enhanced by H_2O_2, and IL-8 itself also enhanced formation of tube-like structures. H_2O_2 increased production of IL-8 in endothelial cells. Treatment with antisense NFkB oligonucleotide completely blcked the H_2O_2-dependent IL-8 production. Transcription factors SP-1, AP-1 and NFxB appeared to be involved in VEGF or IL-8 induction in glioma cells under various stress.

氧自由基是在各种病理状况下产生的，包括炎症，缺血再灌注，败血症和紫外线光照射，血管内皮是在多种炎症条件下氧化剂损伤的主要靶标之一。据报道，低氧或高氧应激会诱导人神经胶质瘤细胞中的血管生成信号传导。在血管生成因素中，我们特别关注血管内皮生长因子（VEGF）和白介素8（IL-8）在各种压力下的诱导机制。1）VEGF的表达与脑肿瘤血管生成有关，脑肿瘤血管生成与VEGF基因条件的启动子区域有关，VEGF基因条件几个SP-1和AP-1和AP-1（C-FOS/C-JUN）（C-1和C-JUN）的结合。在8种人神经胶质瘤细胞系中，发现转录因子的细胞mRNA水平SP-1和AP-1（c-fos/c-Jun）与VEGF的细胞密切相关。细胞因子，IL-8，在单核细胞，巨噬细胞和人脑肿瘤中以高水平产生。 IL-8诱导人脐带内皮细胞的细胞迁移，大鼠角膜中的血管生成以及微血管内皮细胞的管状形态发生。最近的研究表明，IL-8基因启动子区域含有用于AP-1和NFXB的结合位点。此外，抗IL-8抗体的共同给药抑制了H_2O_2增强的管状形态发生，而IL-8本身也增强了管类似管的结构的形成。 H_2O_2增加了内皮细胞中IL-8的产生。反义NFKB寡核苷酸的治疗完全使H_2O_2依赖性IL-8产生。转录因子SP-1，AP-1和NFXB似乎参与了各种应力下神经胶质瘤细胞中的VEGF或IL-8诱导。
