Inflammation is a part of the innate immune system. It protects the body against foreign invaders such as bacteria and viruses. Inflammation helps to restore the body by removing harmful stimuli and starting the healing process. Inflammation is produced in response to damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPS) or pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPS). Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) is a key regulator of a variety of pathways, making it a promising therapeutic target. Therefore, this experiment aims to see how inhibiting GSK-3 affects the generation of IL-8 in THP-1 ASC GFP macrophage cells. For this study qPCR was used to measure IL-8 expression, while ELISA was used for protein secretion. An ANOVA test was utilized for the statistical analysis. Obtained results from this study showed that there is a significant difference between stimulated cells with LPS and nigericin against unstimulated samples both in protein and mRNA levels. When it comes to the stimulated cells against inhibited cells, the ANOVA test showed there is no significant difference between the samples both in protein and mRNA levels. This might suggest that GSK-3 does not influence the development of inflammasomes in THP-1 macrophage cells. Another possible reason is that other pathways such as the MAPK and JAK-STAT may mask potential inhibitory effects on the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway by producing even more IL-8, which interfered with qPCR and ELISA results. In conclusion, additional research is needed to confirm the involvement of GSK-3 in NLRP3 inflammation.
