OBJECTIVE 15-Deoxy-Delta12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2) is a natural ligand that activates the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma, a member of the nuclear receptor family implicated in the regulation of lipid metabolism and adipocyte differentiation. Recent data have shown that 15d-PGJ2 exerts anti-inflammatory action via inhibition of the interferon gamma (IFN-gamma)-induced Jak-STAT signalling pathway. The anti-inflammatory effect of IL-10 is mediated via activated STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3). In this study, we investigated whether 15d-PGJ2 inhibit IL-10-induced STAT activation. METHODS We used western blotting, flow cytometric analysis and a real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS 15d-PGJ2 blocked IL-10-induced STAT1 and STAT3 activation in primary human monocytes, macrophages and THP-1 cells. Inhibition was not specific for IL-10, as induction of STAT activation by IFN-gamma and IL-6 was also inhibited by 15d-PGJ2. Inhibition of IL-10 signalling was induced within 1 h after pretreatment of 15d-PGJ2. Other PPARgamma agonists, such as troglitazone, did not inhibit IL-10 signalling. Treatment with GW9662, a specific PPARgamma antagonist, had no effect on 15d-PGJ2-mediated inhibition of IL-10 signalling even at higher concentrations (50 microM), indicating that 15d-PGJ2 affects the IL-10-induced Jak-STAT signalling pathway via an PPARgamma-independent mechanism. Actinomycin D had no effect on 15d-PGJ2-mediated inhibition of IL-10 signalling, indicating that inhibition of IL-10 signalling occurs independently of de novo gene expression. Also, inhibitors of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERKs) (PD98059), p38 MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) (SB203580) and protein kinase C (PKC) (GF109203X, calphostin C) had no effect on 15d-PGJ2-mediated inhibition of IL-10 signalling. These results show that MAPKs and PKC are not involved in the inhibition of IL-10 signalling. CONCLUSIONS We showed that 15d-PGJ2 non-specifically inhibits STAT signalling of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 as well as the proinflammatory cytokine IFN-gamma. These findings indicate the possibility that 15d-PGJ2 can have adverse effects in the management of diseases in which IL-10 plays a critical role in the suppression of inflammation.

D008024 Ligands A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Ligand
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.
