PG - 106372 LID - S1567-5769(19)32874-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.intimp.2020.106372 [doi] AB - Excessive production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1beta plays an important role in the chronic inflammation in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Alogliptin, an important selective dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor licensed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, has displayed a wide range of pharmacological capacities. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether alogliptin possessed a protective effect against IL-1beta-induced insult in FLS. Our results indicate that alogliptin treatment ameliorated IL-1beta-induced production of reactive oxygen species, the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) and MMP-13, secretions of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), IL-6, and IL-8. Additionally, we found that alogliptin inhibited c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)/activator protein 1 (AP-1) signaling by reducing IL-1beta-induced phosphorylation of JNK, the expression of c-Jun and c-Fos, and the luciferase activity of AP-1. Importantly, alogliptin suppressed IL-1beta-induced activation of IkappaBalpha/NF-kappaB signaling by preventing the phosphorylation and degradation of IkappaBalpha, nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB p65, as well as the luciferase activity of AP-1. These findings suggest that alogliptin might have therapeutic potential for the treatment of chronic inflammation in RA. CI - Copyright (c) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
