-induced GM-CSF production in human
airway smooth muscle cells by carbon monoxide
Department of Medicine, Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213
Asthma, a chronic inflammatory
disease of the airways, involves the increased expression of
inflammatory mediators, including granulocyte-monocyte
colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), a
stress-response protein, confers protection against oxidative stress.
We hypothesized that carbon monoxide (CO), a byproduct of
HO-1-dependent heme catabolism, regulates GM-CSF synthesis in human
airway smooth muscle cells (HASMC). IL-1
treatment induced a
time-dependent induction of GM-CSF in HASMC. Furthermore, IL-1
stimulated the major MAPK pathways, including ERK1/ERK2, JNK, and p38
MAPK. Exposure of HASMC to CO at low concentration (250 ppm)
markedly inhibited IL-1
-induced GM-CSF synthesis (>90%) compared
with air-treated controls. CO treatment inhibited IL-1
-induced
ERK1/2 activation but did not inhibit JNK and p38 MAPK. Furthermore, CO
increased cGMP levels in HASMC. Inhibition of guanylate cyclase by
IH-[1,2,4] oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-1 (ODQ) abolished the
inhibitory effects of CO on GM-CSF synthesis and ERK1/2
activation. Collectively, these data demonstrate that the
inhibitory effect of CO on GM-CSF synthesis depends on ERK1/2 MAPK and
guanylate cyclase/cGMP-dependent pathways.
