We investigated the bucillamine (Buc) mechanism inhibiting interleukin (IL)-1 beta-induced vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production from human fibroblast-like synoviocytes (HTFLS) which derived from the inflamed synovium of an RA patient using SA981, its active metabolite. HFLS did not produce IL-1 beta, spontaneously. While SA981 partially inhibited IL-1 beta-induced VEGF production at concentrations of 10 to 100 mu M (10.1% and 14.2% inhibition of total VEGF production under IL-1 beta coexistence condition, respectively), it failed to inhibit IL-1 beta-induced IL-6 production at the same concentrations. IL-1 beta induced phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases, I kappa B alpha, c-Jun and Akt. SA981 at a concentration of 100 mu M partially inhibited IL-1 beta-induced phosphorylation of p38MAPK and Akt (12.0% and 36.1% inhibition of each total amount of phosphoprotein under IL-1 beta coexistence condition, respectively). The VEGF promoter includes four transcription factors: AP1, hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), Sp1 and AP2 binding elements. HIF-1 beta, Sp1 and AP1 increased under IL-1 beta coexistence conditions. At a concentration of 100 mu M, SA981 attenuated increases in HIF-l beta and Sp1 (10.1% and 19.8% inhibition of each total amount of transcription factor under IL-1 beta coexistence condition, respectively), but not AP1. These results suggest that SA981 partially inhibits VEGF production via modifications on IL-1 beta signaling. Attenuation of the expression of HIF-1 beta and Sp1 (but not AP1) may be a key with respect to SA981's selective inhibition of VEGF production. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
