Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of SOCS1 on MAP kinase signaling. SW1353 cells were transfected with SOCS1 or shSOCS1 vectors to overexpress or inhibit SOCS1, as described in Methods. A representative immunoblot image showed that SOCS1 overexpression decreased phosphorylation of p38 and JNK, whereas SOCS1 knockdown increased their phosphorylation in the presence of IL-1β (10 ng/ml, A) . The relative proportions of phosphorylated to total protein were determined with densitometry by using Image J software (version 1.48c, [ 22 ]; B) . Data were expressed as the means ± SEM ( n = 3). OE, overexpression; KD, knockdown.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of MAP kinase and NF-κB inhibitors on MMPs secretion from SOCS1-knockdown SW1353 cells. SOCS1-knockdown SW1353 cells were pretreated with inhibitors for 1 hour before stimulation with 10 ng/ml of IL-1β. After 24 hours, the levels of MMP-1, -3, and -13 were dramatically decreased by SB202190, a p38 MAP kinase inhibitor (A) . Blockade of C-JNK (B) and ERK (C) dose-dependently suppressed the secretion of MMPs from shSOCS1-transfected SW1353 cells. The production of MMP-1 and MMP-13 was partially inhibited with the SN50, a specific NF-κB inhibitory peptide (D) . Data were expressed as the mean ± SEM of relative MMPs levels, as compared with the control without inhibitors ( n = 3). *P

Figure Lengend Snippet: Pathways by which BrdU impairs epithelial repair and induces persistent inflammation in the chronic NA injury model . BrdU induces genotoxic stress, which activates the DNA damage response, thereby promoting premature senescence, which results in the growth arrest of epithelial cells. Genotoxic stress caused by BrdU also activates p38-MAPK pathways that trigger the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines/chemokines, which exacerbate inflammation. Which is necessary for p38-MAPK activation, the DNA damage response or cell cycle arrest (p21, etc.), has not been determined ( broken arrows ). Recent evidence indicates that pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-6, IL-8) at least in part reinforce cell cycle arrest via the DNA damage response pathway [ 32 , 33 ], suggesting a positive feedback loop ( dashed arrow ) in which inflammation in turn promotes senescence.
