PROBLEM: The cytokine, interleukin-6 (IL-6), stimulates the production of human chorionic gonadotropine (hCG) in chorionic cells. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) during the induction of IL-6 by IL-1beta in human trophoblast cells. METHOD OF STUDY: Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was used to determine the gene expressions of IL-1, IL-1 receptor (IL-1R), IL-6R and gp130 in a human choriocarcinoma cell line, BeWo. The BeWo cells were cultured for 24 hr with IL-1beta (0-10 ng/mL), IL-1beta (10 ng/mL) together with IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) or NF-kappaB inhibitor, N-tocyl-l-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone (TPCK). The concentrations of IL-6 in culture supernatants were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: The gene expressions of IL-1R, IL-6R and gp130, but not IL-1beta, were observed. The concentration of IL-6 was enhanced by IL-1beta in a dose-dependent fashion. The addition of IL-1Ra neutralized the effects of IL-1beta on IL-6 secretion. IL-1beta induced expression of phosphorylated IkappaB and the activation of NF-kappaB. The addition of TPCK reduced the IL-1beta-induced IL-6 expression. Adding IL-1beta increased beta-hCG production in a dose-dependent manner, and the addition of TPCK neutralized the effect of IL-1beta. CONCLUSION: IL-1beta may induce the IL-6 expression and hCG production in human BeWo cells via NF-kappaB.
