PG - 234-40 LID - S0015-0282(13)00398-1 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2013.02.052 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of the estrogen receptor-beta (ERbeta) agonist diarylpropionitrile (DPN) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced regulated on activation normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) production in macrophages and the possible mechanisms. DESIGN: Cellular and molecular biology experimental study. SETTING: University-based research laboratory. PATIENT(S): None. INTERVENTION(S): ERbeta mRNA and protein expression determined in murine macrophage cell line RAW264.7 cells using reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis; RANTES production detected by ELISA in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells and ERbeta knockdown RAW264.7 cells after the addition of DPN, phosphorylation of p65 and IkappaB degradation detected by Western blot analysis; and nuclear accumulation of p65 visualized using immunofluorescence. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): LPS-induced RANTES production and phosphorylation of p65 and IkappaB. RESULT(S): ERbeta was expressed in RAW264.7 cells, and DPN statistically significantly decreased LPS-induced RANTES production in RAW264.7 cells. Small interfering RNA targeting the ERbeta gene inhibited the effect of DPN on RANTES production. In addition, DPN inhibited nuclear translocation and phosphorylation of p65 by inhibiting IkappaB degradation and thus prohibited the activation of nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB). CONCLUSION(S): Diarylpropionitrile down-regulates LPS-induced RANTES production via ERbeta. This effect of DPN is likely due to repression of nuclear factor kappaB activation.
