C1q, as a LAIR-1 ligand, maintains monocytes quiescence and possess immunosuppressive properties. To understand the roles and molecular mechanisms, C1q mediated inflammation cytokines and several pivotal proteins in THP-1 cells after H. pylori infection were detected. The results showed that the expression of IL-8, IL-10, LAIR-1, phosphorylated/total JNK, phosphorylated/total p38-MAPK, phosphorylated/total AKT and phosphorylated/total NF-κB were up-regulated significantly in THP-1 cells after H. pylori infection. There was significant upregulation in IL-10 concentration, phosphorylated/total p38-MAPK and phosphorylated/total AKT, and downregulation in phosphorylated/total JNK in non-H. pylori infected THP-1 cells pretreated with C1q. C1q was also able to increase IL-8 and IL-10 production, and reduce LAIR-1 and phosphorylated/total p38-MAPK expression in pretreatment-C1q THP-1 cells after H. pylori infection. These results together indicated that H. pylori might induce IL-8 and IL-10 production through JNK, p38-MAPK, PI3K/AKT and NF-κB signaling pathway. C1q manipulate LAIR-1 to regulation IL-8 and IL-10 secretion in THP-1 cells after H. pylori infection through the p38-MAPK signaling pathway. This information is helpful to further understand the role and mechanisms of C1q on inflammation cytokines secretion in monocytes after H. pylori infection.
