The expression of the rate-limiting enzyme of haem degradation, haem oxygenase-1 (HO-1), can be induced by various stimuli, including lipopolysaccharide, tumour necrosis factor α and NO. The NO signal can be transmitted by cGMP, therefore this study was aimed at testing the activation of the HO-1 gene by cGMP. In primary cultures of rat hepatocytes, both HO-1 mRNA and protein were induced by the NO donor sodium nitroprusside and 8-bromo-cGMP. The HO-1 mRNA induction by cGMP was prevented by the specific protein kinase G inhibitor KT5823. The cGMP-dependent HO-1 mRNA induction was dose-dependent and transcriptionally regulated, as determined by studies with actinomycin D and a nuclear run-on assay. Cycloheximide lowered the cGMP-dependent induction of HO-1 mRNA to about one half. Luciferase reporter constructs driven by about 800 bp of the 5´-flanking region of the rat HO-1 gene were transiently transfected into primary rat hepatocytes; 8-bromo-cGMP caused a 6-fold induction, which was obliterated by deletion and mutation of the cAMP response element/activator protein-1 (CRE/AP-1) (-665/-654) site. Thus HO-1 induction by cGMP appears to be stimulated by the protein kinase G pathway and may be mediated mainly via a CRE/AP-1 element in the rat HO-1 promoter.

Three classes of steroid hormone are produced by the adrenal cortex after uptake of precursor cholesterol from the plasma—mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and sex steroids—with classical endocrine feedback loops controlling their secretion. Glucocorticoids have more diverse and extensive roles than mineralocorticoids, regulating sodium and water homeostasis, glucose and carbohydrate metabolism, inflammation, and stress. These effects are mediated by the interaction of cortisol with ubiquitous glucocorticoid receptors, and the induction or repression of target gene transcription (via glucocorticoid response elements, GREs). Adrenocortical diseases are relatively uncommon, but they have detrimental clinical consequences and can be treated effectively. Hormonal deficiency or excess is usually the result of abnormal secretion.

We have studied the effect of human serum, collected after red wine consumption (RWS), on TNF-α-dependent activation of transcription factors (NF-κB, activator protein-1 (AP-1) and cAMP response element-binding proteins) and on the expression of selected genes involved in cell adhesion or fibrinolysis processes in human primary endothelial cells (human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC)). Our data indicate that RWS containing RW metabolites, isolated after 40 min from an acute consume of wine (5 ml/kg body weight), induces nuclear translocation of NF-κB and AP-1 in the absence of any further stimulus. On the other hand, TNF-α treatment in the presence of RWS is associated with a delay in transcription factor activation and to a negative modulation on the expression of specific genes. Moreover, RWS stimulates c-jun binding to the tissue-type plasminogen activator cAMP responsive element consensus site modulating the expression of the specific gene downstream. These results confirm that RW metabolites affect the activity of different transcription factors playing an important preconditioning role in the modulation of the inflammatory pathway in endothelial cells. This is the first report on the effects of a complex food matrix, on the molecular mechanisms associated with inflammatory response in HUVEC cultured in condition that reproduces the physiological environment occurring in vivo.
