Abstract: | In brain astrocytes, noradrenaline (NA) has been shown to up-regulate IL-6 production via 13-adrenoceptors (ARs). However, the underlying intracellular mechanisms for this regulation are not clear, and it remains unknown whether ?-ARs are involved. In this study, we investigated the AR-mediated regulation of IL-6 mRNA levels in the cultured astrocytes from rat spinal cord. NA, the ?1-agonist phenylephrine, and the 13-agonist isoproterenol increased IL-6 mRNA levels. The phenylephrine-induced IL-6 increase was accompanied by an increase in ERK phosphorylation, and these effects were blocked by inhibitors of PKC and ERK. The isoproterenol-induced IL-6 increase was accompanied by an increase in CREB phosphorylation, and these effects were blocked by a PKA inhibitor. Our results indicate that IL-6 increases by ?1- and 13-ARs are mediated via the PKC/ERK and cAMP/PKA/CREB pathways, respectively. Moreover, conditioned medium collected from astrocytes treated with the ?2-AR agonist dexmedetomidine, increased IL-6 mRNA in other astrocytes. In this study, we elucidate that ?1- and ?2-ARs, in addition to 13-ARs, promote IL-6 transcription through different pathways in spinal cord astrocytes. |
