P>Death-inducing ligands tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) and Fas ligand (FasL) do not kill cultured astrocytes; instead they induce a variety of chemokines including macrophage-inflammatory protein-1 alpha/CC chemokine ligand 3 (CCL3), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (CC CCL-2), macrophage-inflammatory protein-2/CXC chemokine ligand 2 (CXCL2, a murine homologue of interleukin 8), and interferon-induced protein of 10 kDa (CXCL10). Induction is enhanced by protein synthesis inhibition suggesting the existence of endogenous inhibitors. ERK, NF-kappa B, heat shock factor-1 (HSF-1) and heat shock proteins were examined for their possible roles in signal transduction. Inhibition of ERK activation by PD98059 partially inhibited expression of all but FasL-induced CXCL10. Although inhibition of NF-kappa B DNA binding inhibited chemokine induction, PD98059 did not inhibit TNF alpha-induced NF-kappa B DNA binding suggesting that ERK serves an NF-kappa B-independent pathway. Heat shock itself induced astrocytic chemokine expression; both TNF alpha and FasL induced HSF-1 DNA binding and Hsp72 production; and Hsp72-induced chemokine expression. Inhibition of either HSF-1 binding with quercetin or heat shock protein synthesis with KNK437 compromised chemokine induction without compromising cell survival. These data suggest that the induction of heat shock proteins via HSF-1 contribute to the TNF alpha- and FasL-induced expression of chemokines in astrocytes.
