Abstract
The proinflammatory cytokine Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF)-alpha is implicated in a variety of skeletal muscle pathologies. Here, we have investigated how in vitro cotreatment of skeletal muscle C2C12 cells with b-agonists modulates the TNF-alpha-induced inflammatory program. We observed that C2C12 myotubes express functional TNF receptor 1 (TNF-R1) and beta 2 adrenoreceptors (beta 2-ARs). TNF-alpha activated the canonical Nuclear Factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) pathway and Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases (MAPKs), culminating in potent induction of NF-kappa B-dependent proinflammatory genes. Cotreatment with the beta-agonist isoproterenol potentiated the expression of inflammatory mediators, including Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and several chemokines. The enhanced production of chemotactic factors upon TNF-alpha/isoproterenol cotreatment was also suggested by the results from migrational analysis. Whereas we could not explain our observations by cytoplasmic crosstalk, we found that TNF-R1-and beta 2-AR-induced signalling cascades cooperate in the nucleus. Using the IL-6 promoter as a model, we demonstrated that TNF-alpha/isoproterenol cotreatment provoked phosphorylation of histone H3 at serine 10, concomitant with enhanced promoter accessibility and recruitment of the NF-kappa B p65 subunit, cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB), CREB-binding protein (CBP) and RNA polymerase II. In summary, we show that b-agonists potentiate TNF-alpha action, via nuclear crosstalk, that promotes chromatin relaxation at selected gene promoters. Our data warrant further study into the mode of action of beta-agonists and urge for caution in their use as therapeutic agents for muscular disorders.
