Nickel 23-29 tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens 0-9 19200052-3 2009 The current study demonstrates that exposure of human bronchial epithelial cells (Beas-2B) to nickel compounds results in the induction of the inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and transactivation of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), and activator protein-1 (AP-1). Nickel 94-100 tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens 165-192 19200052-3 2009 The current study demonstrates that exposure of human bronchial epithelial cells (Beas-2B) to nickel compounds results in the induction of the inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and transactivation of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), and activator protein-1 (AP-1). Nickel 94-100 tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens 194-203 19200052-4 2009 Further studies show that neither overexpression of IKKbeta-KM, a kinase inactive mutant of IKKbeta, nor the ectopic expression of a dominant negative mutant of NFAT could inhibit the TNF-alpha induction by nickel exposure. Nickel 207-213 tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens 184-193 19200052-5 2009 Overexpression of TAM67, a dominant-negative mutant of c-Jun, dramatically reduced the TNF-alpha induction, suggesting that AP-1 is a mediator of TNF-alpha induction in nickel responses. Nickel 169-175 tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens 87-96 19200052-5 2009 Overexpression of TAM67, a dominant-negative mutant of c-Jun, dramatically reduced the TNF-alpha induction, suggesting that AP-1 is a mediator of TNF-alpha induction in nickel responses. Nickel 169-175 tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens 146-155 19200052-6 2009 Our results show that ERKs are AP-1 upstream kinases responsible for TNF-alpha induction by nickel exposure; although JNKs, ERKs, and p38K were all activated in the Beas-2B cells exposed to nickel compounds. Nickel 92-98 tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens 69-78 19200052-6 2009 Our results show that ERKs are AP-1 upstream kinases responsible for TNF-alpha induction by nickel exposure; although JNKs, ERKs, and p38K were all activated in the Beas-2B cells exposed to nickel compounds. Nickel 190-196 tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens 69-78 19200052-7 2009 Our results demonstrate that inflammatory TNF-alpha could be induced by nickel exposure in Beas-2B cells specifically through an ERKs/AP-1-dependent pathway.
