Targeting synergetic endothelial inflammation by inhibiting NFKB and JAK-STAT pathways.

ABSTRACT: Multiple systemic vascular inflammatory disorders are associated with endothelial dysfunction and elevated levels of TNFα and IFNγ. Combined TNFα and IFNγ stimulation induces synergetic hyperinflammation in endothelial cells (ECs) through the activation of the NFKB and JAK/STAT pathways. Here, we assess how targeting these pathways affects EC inflammation. Using mass spectrometry based proteomics, we investigate system-wide effects of TNFα- and IFNγ-stimulated Endothelial Colony Forming Cells (ECFCs) in combination with inhibitors targeting NFKB and JAK/STAT pathways. JAK1 inhibitor itacitinib blocked IFNγ-, but not TNFα-induced proteomic responses. IKK2/STAT3 inhibitor TPCA1 attenuated both responses. Most TNFα+IFNγ-induced proteins, such as pyroptosis mediators, chemokines, and Weibel-Pa
