Abstract
- Serum amyloid A (SAA) induced CCL2 production via a pertussis toxin (PTX)-insensitive pathway in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). SAA induced the activation of three MAPKs (ERK, p38 MAPK, and JNK), which were completely inhibited by knock-down of formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2). Inhibition of p38 MAPK and JNK by their specific inhibitors (SB203580 and SP600125), or inhibition by a dominant negative mutant of p38 MAPK dramatically decreased SAA-induced CCL2 production. Inactivation of Gi protein(s) by PTX inhibited the activation of SAA-induced ERK, but not p38 MAPK or JNK. The results indicate that SAA stimulates FPR2-mediated activation of p38 MAPK and JNK, which are independent of a PTX-sensitive G-protein and are essential for SAA-induced CCL2 production.
