PG - 1108-12 LID - 10.4103/0366-6999.180519 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Adipocytes behave like a rich source of pro-inflammatory cytokines including monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) participates in the local chronic inflammatory response, and high-density lipoprotein could counterbalance the proinflammatory function of oxLDL, but the underlying mechanism is not completely understood. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of apolipoprotein A-I mimetic peptide L-4F on the secretion and expression of MCP-1 in fully differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes induced by oxLDL and to elucidate the possible mechanisms. METHODS: Fully differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes were incubated in the medium containing various concentration of L-4F (0-50 mug/ml) with oxLDL (50 mug/ml) stimulated, with/without protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor H-89 (10 mumol/L) preincubated. The concentrations of MCP-1 in the supernatant, the mRNA expression of MCP-1, the levels of CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBPalpha), and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein beta (C/EBPbeta) were evaluated. The monocyte chemotaxis assay was performed by micropore filter method using a modified Boyden chamber. RESULTS: OxLDL stimulation induced a significant increase of MCP-1 expression and secretion in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, which were inhibited by L-4F preincubation in a dose-dependent manner. PKA inhibitor H-89 markedly reduced the oxLDL-induced MCP-1 expression, but no further decrease was observed when H-89 was used in combination with L-4F (50 mug/ml) (P > 0.05). OxLDL stimulation showed no significant effect on C/EBPalpha protein level but increased C/EBPbeta protein level in a time-dependent manner. H-89 and L-4F both attenuated C/EBPbeta protein level in oxLDL-induced 3T3-L1 adipocytes. CONCLUSIONS: OxLDL induces C/EBPbeta protein synthesis in a time-dependent manner and enhances MCP-1 secretion and expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. L-4F dose-dependently counterbalances the pro-inflammatory effect of oxLDL, and cyclic AMP/PKA-C/EBPbeta signaling pathway may participate in it.
