PG - 73-80 AB - Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is one of the key cytokines elicited by host macrophages upon challenge with pathogenic mycobacteria. Infection of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells or the murine macrophage cell line J774A-1 with Mycobacterium avium induced activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) ERK1/2, p38 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase. U0126, an MEK-specific inhibitor, abrogated M. avium-induced TNF-alpha secretion. Transfection of cells with dominant-negative MEK1 led to the suppression of TNF-alpha release in M. avium-challenged macrophages. M. avium activated p38 MAPK and use of the p38 MAPK inhibitor, SB203580, revealed that the p38 signaling pathway negatively regulates activation of ERK1/2 and release of TNF-alpha. Taken together, these results provide evidence that M. avium-induced TNF-alpha release from macrophages depends on an interplay between the ERK1/2 and the p38 MAPK signaling pathways.
