Abstract

The cyclopentenone prostaglandins (cyPGs) prostaglandin $A_1$ ($PGA_1$) and 15-deoxy-${\Delta}^{12,14}$-prostaglandin $J_2$ (15d-$PGJ_2$) have been reported to exhibit antiinflammatory activity in activated monocytes/macrophages. However, the effects of these two cyPGs on the expression of cytokine genes may differ. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of action of $PGA_1$ in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced expression of inter leu kin (IL)-10 mRNA in mouse peritoneal macrophages. 15d-$PGJ_2$ inhibited expression of LPS-induced IL-10, whereas $PGA_1$ increased LPS-induced IL-10 expression. This synergistic effect of $PGA_1$ on LPS-induced IL-10 expression reached a maximum as early as 2 h after simultaneous $PGA_1$ and LPS treatment ($PGA_1$/LPS), and did not require new protein synthesis. The synergistic effect of $PGA_1$ was inhibited by GW9662, a specific peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ${\gamma}(PPAR{\gamma})$ antagonist, and Bay-11-7082, a NF-${\kappa}B$ inhibitor. The extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) inhibitor PD98059 increased the expression of $PGA_1$/LPS-induced IL-10 mRNA, rather than inhibiting the IL-10 expression. Moreover, $PGA_1$ inhibited LPS-induced ERK phosphorylation. The synergistic effect of $PGA_1$ on LPS-induced IL-10 mRNA and protein production was inhibited by p38 inhibitor PD169316, and $PGA_1$ increased LPS-induced p38 phosphorylation. In the case of stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun $NH_2$-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK), the SAPK/JNK inhibitor SP600125 did not inhibit IL-10 mRNA synthesis but inhibited the production of IL-10 protein remarkably. These results suggest that the synergistic effect of $PGA_1$ on LPS-induced IL-10 expression is NF-${\kappa}B$-dependent and mediated by mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases, p38, and SAPK/JNK signaling pathways, and also associated with the $PPAR{\gamma}$ pathway. Our data may provide more insight into the diverse mechanisms of $PGA_1$ effects on the expression of cytokine genes.
