Monocyte activation and adhesion to the endothelium play important roles in inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases. These processes are further aggravated by hyperglycemia, loading to cardiovascular complications in diabetes. We have previously shown that high glucose (HG) treatment activates monocytes and induces the expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha via oxidant stress and nuclear factor-kB transcription factor. To determine the, effects of HG on the expression of other inflammatory genes, in the present study, HG-induced gene profiling was performed in THP-1 monocytes using cytokine gene arrays containing 375 known genes. HG treatment upregulated the expression of 41 genes and. downregulated 15 genes that included chemokines, cytokines, chemokines receptors, adhesion molecules, and integrins. RT-PCR analysis further confirmed that HG significantly increased the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), TNF-alpha, beta(2)-integrin, interleukin-1beta, and. others. HG treatment increased transcription of the MCP-1 gene, MCP4 protein levels, and adhesion of THP-1 cells to endothelial cells. HG-induced MCP-1 mRNA expression and monocyte adhesion were blocked by specific inhibitors of oxidant stress, protein kinase C, ERK1/2, and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinages. These results,show for the first time that multiple inflammatory cytokines and chemokines relevant to the pathogenesis of diabetes complications are induced by HG via key signaling pathways.
