Objective To investigate the effects of mitogen-activated protein kinase p38 (p38 MAPK) on CD3/CD28-stimulated T-cell proliferation and IL-2 expression which were enhanced by shockwaves. Methods Jurkat T cells or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were pretreated with the p38 MAPK-inhibitor (SB203580)(The Jurkat T cells or PBMC of the control groups were not pretreated with SB203580), then treated with shockwaves, and stimulated respectively with a suboptimal dose of anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies or PHA. Finally the IL-2 productions of Jurkat T cells or the proliferation of PBMC were respectively measured. The protein tyrosine phosphorylation of p38 MAPKin Jurkat T cells treated either with shockwaves or not was measured by Western blotting with anti-phosphotyrine antibodies(Thr180/Tyr182). The expressoins of p38 MAPK in Jurkat T cells treated either with shockwaves or not were determined by Western blotting with anti-p38 MAPK antibodies. Results Compared with negative control group without shockwave treatment, the 3H-TdR incorporation of the phytohemagglutinin-stimulated PBMC, which were treated with low dose shockwaves (LDSWs) of 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 330 impulses at (0.180±0.015) mJ•mm2, increased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with negative control group, the additions of SB203580 attenuated the IL-2 expression in the cellular supernatant of CD3/CD28-stimulated Jurkat T cells or the 3H-TdR incorporation of the phytohemagglutinin-stimulated PBMC, which were affected with LDSWs of 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 330 impulses at (0.18±0.015) mJ•mm2 (P<0.01). The activation of p38 MAPK under the condition without LDSWs was obviously lower than that with LDSWs of 100, 150, 200, and 250 impulses (P<0.01), and the activation of p38 MAPK increased with the shock-wave impulses.Conclusion SB203580 prevents the enhancing effect of LDSWs on CD3/CD28-stimulated IL-2 expression. In T cells, the shockwaves enhance IL-2 expression through activating p38 MAPK.
