タイトル Surface translocation of Kir2.1 channel induces IL-1β secretion in microglia.
ジャーナル Mol Cell Neurosci
Abstract One of the major properties of microglia is to secrete cytokines as a reaction to stress such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) application. The mechanism of cytokine secretion from the microglia upon stress through the inflammasome-mediated release process is well studied, and the voltage-gated Kv1.3 channel is known to play an important role in this process. Most previous studies investigated long-term inflammasome-mediated cytokine release (at least over 4 h) and there are only a few studies on the acute reaction (within minutes order) of the microglia to stress and its cytokine secretion capacity. In this study, we found that LPS induced an increase in Kir2.1 current within 15 min after administration but had no effect on voltage-dependent outward currents. Moreover, cytological and western blot analysis revealed that the increase in the Kir2.1 channel current after LPS administration was induced by the translocation of Kir2.1 from the cytoplasm to the cell surface. From an experiment using the inhibitor and trafficking mutation of Kir2.1, an increase in Kir2.1 was found to contribute to the secretion of the inflammatory cytokine, IL-1β. Although the physiological significance of this acute IL-1β secretion remains unclear, our present data imply that Kir2.1 translocation functions as a regulator of IL-1β secretion, and therefore becomes a potential target to control cytokine release from microglia.
