The effects of methylamine on human health have been debated for several years, but the exact adverse outcomes and definite signaling cascades have not been elucidated yet. Herein, a NF-κB signal pathway, a positive regulator of inflammation was identified as the main pathway of methylamine exposure induced adverse effects in bronchial airway cells (16HBE) for the first time. The results indicated that methylamine could stimulate the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cytoplasm and mitochondria of 16HBE cells. Moreover, ROS accelerate the translocation and phosphorylation of NF-κB in nucleic and promote the expression of inflammatory, such as IL-8 and IL-6. As a result, methylamine was found to be increased ROS-mediated NF-κB activation in cells, leading to the production of inflammatory cytokine. Furthermore, the results also showed that methylamine could affect the expression of cytokines related genes, p53, STAT3, Bcl2, c-myc, Cyclin D, Hes1, Mcl-1, TGF-β2. The breakdown of those cell proliferation and apoptosis related genes were leading to a common toxic mechanism of cell death. In summary, our work uncovers a mechanism by which methylamine can induce the formation of inflammation response and demonstrates potential inflammation and carcinogenesis in human airway cell upon the methylamine inhaled.
