The Genic Modulation of Cytokines by NF-kB and Inflammatory Response<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 赵丽云 Liyun Zhao ABSTRACT NF-kB is a DNA-bingding transcription factor that exists extensively in many cells. It can enhance the transcription of a variety of genes, including cytoking and growth factors, adhesion molecules, immunoreceptors, and acute-phase protein when cells are stimulated by bacteria and virus etc, especially to the transcription of TNF-α(tumor necrosis factor-α)、IL-1、IL-6、IL-8 which ate considered to be very important in the generation of acute inflammatory responses. Excessive cytokine-mediated inflammation is likely to be play a fundamental role in the SIRS(systemic inflammatory response syndrome)、ARDS(adult respiratory distress syndrome)、MODS(multiple organ dysfunction syndrome). This paper has reviedwed the genic modulation of cytokines by NF-kB and inflammatory response and might prove beneficial for the treatment of cytokine-mediated inflammatory diseases. 核因子-kB是1986年首先由San和Baltimore[1]发现,他们在实验中发现B细胞核提取物有一种能与免疫球蛋白k轻链基因的增强kB序列特异结合的蛋白因子,命名为NF-kB。NF-kB广泛存在于各种细胞中,在细胞受到病毒或细菌感染、细胞因子、DNA损伤、紫外线照射等各种因素刺激后可被活化,增强多种基因的转录,如细胞因子、生长因子、粘附分子、受体、急性期蛋白等,尤其为多种细胞因子转录所必需[2],包括TNF-α、IL-1、IL-6、IL-8等在炎症反应发生中起重要作用的炎症介质,而大量炎症介质的释放又是多种疾病状态发生发展的基础,如严重烧伤、创伤(包括外科大手术)、休克、急性坏死性胰腺炎、恶性肿瘤等到可导致失控的炎症反应,造成宿主自组织结构和生理功能的广泛损害,进而引起SIRS、ARDS、MODS,甚至死亡。NF-kB作为一种普遍存在的转录因子,是多种信号转导的汇聚点,且在调节炎症反应的基因中起关键作用。因此阐述NF-kB的基因调控机制将对炎症反应的控制提供极具潜力的治疗措施。 一、 NF-kB的分子生物学特性 |
