Abstract

Human immunodeficiency virus TAT plays an important role in the disregulation of cytokine production associated with the neurological disorders that follow HIV infection. IL‐1β is one of the important inflammatory cytokines secreted by immune‐activated monocytes/macrophages. Previous reports have shown that extracellular TAT stimulates IL‐1β expression in monocytes/macrophages. However, little is known about the mechanisms and possible TAT‐responsive elements within the IL‐1β promoter. The present study shows that TAT increases the production of IL‐1β in human monocytes; PLC‐PKC pathway‐dependent phosphorylation of p44/42 and JNK MAP kinases participates partially in IL‐1β induction by TAT; specific C/EBP and NF‐κB transcription factor binding elements within the IL‐1β promoter are involved in TAT regulation of IL‐1β production. This study identifies a signaling mechanism for HIV‐1‐induced IL‐1β production in human monocytes that may be involved in the neuropathogenesis of HIV‐associated dementia. J. Med.

## Abstract The proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α is mainly produced in cells from the monocyte/macrophage lineage. TNFα is also a key signaling molecule in the liver functioning as an important physiological and pathogenic mediator. In hepatocytes or human hepatoma cells TNFα
