| description | Serum amyloid A (SAA) is the major acute-phase protein and a precursor of amyloid A (AA) in AA amyloidosis in humans and animals. SAA isoforms have been identified in a wide variety of animals, such as SAA1, SAA2, SAA3, and SAA4 in mouse. Although the biological functions of SAA isoforms are not completely understood, recent studies have suggested that SAA3 plays a role in host defense. Expression of SAA3 is increased on the mouse colon surface in the presence of microbiota in vivo, and it increases mRNA expression of mucin 2 (MUC2) in murine colonic epithelial cells in vitro, which constitutes a protective mucus barrier in the intestinal tract. In this study, to identify responsible regions in SAA3 for MUC2 expression, recombinant murine SAA1 (rSAA1), rSAA3, and rSAA1/3, a chimera protein constructed with mature SAA1 (amino acids 1-36) and SAA3 (amino acids 37-103), and vice versa for rSAA3/1, were added to murine colonic epithelial CMT-93 cells, and the mRNA expressions of MUC2 and cytokines were measured. Inhibition assays with NF-κB inhibitor or TLR4/MD2 inhibitor were also performed. Up-regulation of MUC2 mRNA expression was strongly stimulated by rSAA3 and rSAA3/1, but not by rSAA1 or rSAA1/3. Moreover, NF-κB and TLR4/MD2 inhibitors suppressed the increase of MUC2 mRNA expression. These results suggest that the major responsible region for MUC2 expression exists in amino acids 1-36 of SAA3, and that up-regulations of MUC2 expression by SAA3 and SAA3/1 are involved with activation of NF-κB via the TLR4/MD2 complex. |
