PG - 315-9 AB - OBJECTIVE: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a pro-inflammatory state characterized by high C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. Previously, we showed that CRP accentuated a macrophage (MO) activity in spontaneously diabetic biobreeding (BB) rats and increased the MO activity of protein kinase C-alpha (PKC-alpha) and p47phox. In this report, we tested the effects of molecular inhibition of CRP effects on MO activity using antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) to both PKC-alpha and p47phox. METHODS: Prior to administration of human C-reactive protein (hCRP) daily for 3 days, ASO or scrambled ASO to either PKC-alpha or p47phox was also delivered for 3 days and after killing on day 4, peritoneal MOs were isolated. RESULTS: The increase in the levels of superoxide anion, interleukin (IL)-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and IL-6 release in MOs with hCRP compared to human albumin was significantly attenuated by antisense to either PKC-alpha and p47phox (p < 0.01 vs. scrambled ASO; n = 5 per group). CONCLUSION: Our novel data suggest that antisense to either PKC-alpha or p47phox attenuates the pro-inflammatory effects of human CRP on MOs in diabetic rats.
