Angiogenin (ANG) is reportedly multifunctional with roles in angiogenesis and autoimmune diseases. This protein is involved in the innate immune system and has been implicated in several inflammatory diseases. Although ANG may be involved in the anti-inflammatory response there is no evidence that it has direct anti-inflammatory effects. In this study we sought to determine whether ANG has an anti-inflammatory effect in human corneal fibroblasts (HCFs) exposed to media containing tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). We found that ANG reduced the mRNA expression of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), -6, -8 and TNF-alpha receptors (TNFR) 1 and 2. In contrast ANG increased the mRNA expression of IL-4 and -10. Protein levels of TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) were reduced by ANG in HCFs treated with TNF-alpha Moreover ANG diminished the expression of IL-6 and -8 and monocyte chemotactic protein-(MCP-) 1. The protein expression of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) was downregulated by ANG treatment. These findings suggest that ANG suppressed the TNF-alpha-induced inflammatory response in HCFs through inhibition of TBK1-mediated NF-kappa B. B nuclear translocation. These novel results are likely to play a significant role in the selection of immune-mediated inflammatory therapeutic targets and may shed light on the pathogenesis of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.
