| Abstract: |
| Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) in 4-(methylitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK)-mediated primary mouse peritoneal macrophages in vitro. Methods: The activity of peritoneal macrophages treated with different concentrations of LPS was detected by MTT assay in rider to find the optimal concentration. Peritoneal macrophages were also treated with NNK (100–500 μM), with or without LPS for 9 h. The expression of NF-κB was demonstrated via immunocytochemistry (ICC) and Western-blot, respectively. Results: The concentration of LPS at 25 μg/mL was found to be the optimal concentration to improve the activity of peritoneal macrophages (P < 0.01). Simultaneously, LPS (25 μg/mL) increased the expression of NF-κB in both the nucleus and cytoplasm and facilitated transfer of NF-κB to the nucleus. NNK treatment significantly inhibited the expression of NF-κB in a concentration-dependent manner, among the LPS-stimulated or unstimulated peritoneal macrophages, especially when cotreated with LPS (25 μg/mL, P < 0.01 ). Furthermore, NNK treatment (500 μM) with LPS yielded a significant decrease in NF-κB translocation to nucleus and inhibited the expression of NF-κB (P < 0.005). Conclusion: LPS enhances the suppression of NF-κB expression in NNK-mediated mouse peritoneal macrophages, which may provide a theoretical basis for the inhibition of cancer. |
