Introduction: The nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) is an important regulator of the inflammatory response. Angiotensin II
(Ang II) activates the NF-κB pathway linked to renal inflammation. Although both AT1 and AT2 receptors are involved
in Ang II-mediated NF-κB activation, the biological processes mediated by each receptor are not fully characterized.
Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) is an important macrophage-derived cytokine that regulates immune and inflammatory processes,
activating intracellular pathways shared with Ang II, including the NF-κB.
Materials and methods: In vitro studies were done in primary cultured rat mesangial cells. NF-κB pathway was
evaluated by phosphorylated levels of p65/IκB and DNA binding activity. The Ang II receptor subtype was determined
by pretreatment with AT1 and AT2 antagonists.
Results: In mesangial cells the simultaneous presence of Ang II and IL-1β caused a synergistic activation of the NF-κB
pathway and a marked upregulation of proinflammatory factors under NF-κB control, including monocyte chemoattractant
protein-1. The AT1, but not AT2, antagonist abolished the synergistic effect on NF-κB activation and proinflammatory
genes caused by coincubation of Ang II and IL-1β.
Conclusions: These data indicates that Ang II, via AT1/NF-κB pathway activation, cooperates with IL-β to increase the
inflammatory response in mesangial cells
