Endothelial cells play a critical role in inflammation by responding to several endogenous and exogenous proinflammatory stimuli. The three most studied factors that provide inflammatory signals to endothelial cells are lipopolysaccharide (LPS), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and interleukin (IL)-1 beta; however, their effects on endothelial cells were thoroughly compared at the level of gene expression only. Therefore, our aim was to assess the differences in the signaling pathways, adhesion molecules, and cytokines induced by proinflammatory factors in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). In this study, we demonstrated that signaling of LPS was less effective than that of IL-1 beta, and was significantly slower than that of TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta, which can be partially explained by the special localization of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). We showed that TLR4 is mainly localized in Golgi apparatus in HUVEC. The proinflammatory capacity of TNF-alpha was similar to that of IL-1 beta in inducing NF-kappa B nuclear translocation, while IL-1 beta was the strongest activator of MAPK pathways. Moreover, expression of E-selectin, IL-6, and IL-8 was induced most efficiently by IL-1 beta, while LPS and TNF-alpha had less effect, whereas we did not find such a difference in ICAM-1 and MCP-1 expression. Due to the higher induction of E-selectin and IL-8, IL-1 beta might have more important role in neutrophil recruitment than LPS and TNF-alpha By above-mentioned parameters we identified a signaling and expression pattern for the three proinflammatory molecules. This pattern illustrates how complex a proinflammatory process can be, and may enable us to predict and compare the pathomechanism of various inflammatory diseases.
