Recent evidence suggests a novel role of bradykinin (BK) in stimulating gene transcription. This study examined the effect of BK on nuclear factor {kappa}B (NF-{kappa}B) activation and IL-1ß synthesis in human epithelial cells. Stimulation of A549 cells and primary bronchial epithelial cells with BK rapidly activated NF-{kappa}B. BK also increased the level of secreted immunoreactive IL-1ß in A549 culture supernatants, an effect that was blocked by actinomycin D and the B2 BK receptor antagonist HOE-140. The role of NF-{kappa}B activation in BK-induced IL-1ß synthesis was demonstrated by the ability of BK to stimulate increased chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) activity in A549 cells transfected with a reporter plasmid containing three {kappa}B enhancers from the IL-1ß gene, while deletion of the {kappa}B enhancer sequences eliminated BK-stimulated CAT activity. C3 transferase exoenzyme, an inhibitor of Rho, abolished BK-induced NF-{kappa}B activation at 10 µg/ml and significantly inhibited BK-stimulated IL-1ß synthesis at 5 µg/ml. A dominant-negative form of RhoA (T19N) inhibited BK-stimulated reporter gene expression in a dose-dependent and {kappa}B-dependent manner. Cotransfection of A549 cells with an expression vector encoding a constitutively active form of RhoA (Q63L) along with the IL-1ß promoter-CAT reporter plasmid resulted in a marked increase in NF-{kappa}B activity compared with transfection with the IL-1ß promoter-CAT reporter plasmid alone. These results demonstrate that BK stimulates NF-{kappa}B activation and IL-1ß synthesis in A549 cells, and that RhoA is both necessary and sufficient to mediate this effect.
