Induction of Mn-superoxide dismutase by Tumor Necrosis Factor, Interleukin-1 and Interleukin-6 in human hepatoma cells

Zusammenfassung: | Effects of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), Interleukin-1 (IL-1), Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) on the expression of Mn-superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) protein were investigated in human hepatoma cells, Hu-H1, which revealed resistance to the cytotoxicity of TNF and IL-1. Both TNF and IL-1 enhanced the Mn-SOD production to the level of 30- to 40-fold. IL-6 also increased the enzyme protein to 2- to 3-fold of the basal level without any cell proliferative effect. A specific antibody against IL-6 almost completely inhibited the induction of Mn-SOD. IL-6, as well as TNF and IL-1, appears to play some role in the Mn-SOD protein expression in human hepatoma cells. |
