PG - 1-10 LID - 10.1159/000353232 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND/AIMS: Inflammation is an unavoidable milieu for renal tubular cells during the development of renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis. It has been demonstrated that chemokines including monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and IL-8 are related to tubulointerstitial lesions. 15d-PGJ2 may modulate renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis progression via anti-inflammatory effects. However, no information is known about the effects of 15d-PGJ2 on chemokine expression in human proximal renal tubular cells (HPTECs) under inflammation. METHODS: In the present study, HPTECs (HK-2 cells) were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) only, or preincubated with 15d-PGJ2. IL-8 and MCP-1 expressions were determined by real-time PCR and ELISA. Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) location was detected by immunofluorescence analysis. The p-IKK, p-IkappaBalpha and p65/p50 were analyzed by immunoblotting. To investigate the mechanism of inhibitory effects of 15d-PGJ2, the PPAR-gamma gene was effectively silenced in HK-2 cells using specific siRNA. RESULTS: The results showed that application of LPS significantly increased IL-8 and MCP-1 production. Phosphorylation of IkappaBalpha, IKK and nucleus translocation of NF-kappaB significantly increased in LPS-stimulated HK-2 cells. 15d-PGJ2 downregulated LPS-induced IL-8 and MCP-1 production. Interestingly, in PPAR-gamma-deficient HK-2 cells, 15d-PGJ2 was still capable of inhibiting chemokines expression and attenuating phosphorylation of IkappaBalpha and nucleus translocation of NF-kappaB. CONCLUSION: Collectively, these results suggest that 15d-PGJ2 exerts anti-inflammatory actions on HK-2 cells by attenuating chemokines expression. 15d-PGJ2 inhibits chemokines expression via a PPAR-gamma-independent way, which is related to block NF-kappaB pathway. Since NF-kappaB is an important regulator of the response of HPTECs to injury, PPAR-gamma agonists may represent a key pharmacological target for ameliorating inflammation-associated tubulointerstitial fibrosis.
