Abstract

Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) is bacterial toxin that induces the activation of immune cells. Because the inhibition of pro-inflammatory effect of SEB can resolve the inflammation, I determined the influence of functional or structural change of SEB on immune cells. The post translational modification of protein occurs through carbamylation. Carbamylation can change the structure of proteins and can modify the biological activity of protein. In the present study, I investigated the effect of carbamylated SEB (CSEB) on the inflammatory response mediated by LPS in HL-60 cells. To determine the anti-inflammatory effect of CSEB, I produced carbamylated SEB using potassium cyanate (KCN) and then examined whether CSEB involved in cytokine releases and apoptosis of LPS-stimulated HL-60 cells. Although CSEB had not any effect on the LPS-stimulated HL-60 cells, the protein levels of IL-8, TNF-α and IL-1β were significantly decreased by CSEB without cytotoxicity. CSEB also blocked Akt and NF-κB activation. These results indicate that the suppressive effect of CSEB in LPS-stimulated cytokine releases is occurred by inhibition of Akt and NF-κB activity. Through further studies, CSEB may be used as anti-inflammatory molecule that makes the immune system more efficient.
