Abstract:Objective To investigate whether lymphocyte-specific protein-tyrosine kinase (lck)expression exists in murine renal tubular epithelial cells and to observe the variations of lck/p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways molecules in renal tubular epithelial cells stimulated with IL-12,IL-2 and LPS,respectively.Methods Renal tubular epithelial cells were obtained by separation from BALB/C mice and cultured in conditioned medium.The mRNA expression of lek in renal tubular epithelial cells was measured by in situ hybridyzation with digoxin-labeled lck oligonucleotide prob.Lck activity was determined by autoradiography,and expression of lck protein and phosphorylation of p38 by western blotting analysis.Results The level of lck mRNA was significantly enhanced in renal tubular epithelial cells stimulated with IL-12,IL-2 or LPS compared to control groups.The maximal effect on lck activity and p38 phosphorylation were present 5 and 15 minutes after stimulation as indicated above.In addition,the effect of LPS was the most obvious among the three stimulations,while the expression level of lck and p38 protein was not increased.IL-12 did not stimulate p38 phosphorylation in renal tubular epithelial cells pre-incubated with lck inhibitor PP1,while the inhibitory effects were mild in renal tubular epithelial cells stimulated with IL-2 or LPS.Conclusion IL-12,IL-2 and LPS may promote lck gene express in renal tubular epithelial cells and only IL-12 can induce p38 phosphorylation through lck uniquely,and they can play biologic role in renal tubular epithelial cells via lck/ p38 signaling pathways.
