Bicyclic eremophilane-type petasite sesquiterpenes potentiate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ? activator-mediated inhibition of dendritic cells.

ABSTRACT: Dendritic cell (DC) activation induces expression of co-stimulatory surface molecules, as well as migration into secondary lymphoid organs, where they activate naïve T-cells. A family of plant derivatives, eremophilane-type petasite sesquiterpenes, can regulate the immune system through DC targeting due to their anti-inflammatory effects. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR?) is involved in inhibition of inflammatory responses and induction of DCs to acquire a mucosal phenotype. Since mucosal DCs are central in innate immune responses, we hypothesized that eremophilane-type petasite sesquiterpenes exerted their anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting DC maturation and activation through PPAR?. This study assessed the bicyclic eremophilane-type petasite sesquiterpene compounds Fukinone and 10?H-8?,12-Epidioxyeremophil-7(11)-en-8?-ol (ZYFDC21 and ZYFDC22) in the maturation and activation of mouse DC. We measured surface expression of co-stimulatory molecules by flow cytometry and cell-free supernatant cytokine production upon lipopolysaccharide stimulation by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) in the presence or absence of PPAR? agonists. DCs were generated from C57BL/6 mice bone marrow cells and harvested. Cells were exposed to bicyclic eremophilane-type petasite sesquiterpenes ZYFDC21 or ZYFDC22 in the presence or absence of synthetic PPAR? agonists (GW1929 and TGZ) or the natural PPAR? ligand 15d-PGJ2, followed by overnight activation with LPS. We observed differences in the upregulation of surface expression of CD86, along with TNF, IL-6, and IL-12p70 released by DCs stimulated with LPS, when using combinations of bicyclic eremophilane-type petasite sesquiterpenes ZYFDC21 or ZYFDC22, and PPAR? agonists, in particular the PPAR? ligand 15d-PGJ2. Our results indicate that bicyclic eremophilane-type petasite sesquiterpenes ZYFDC21 or ZYFDC22 inhibit maturation and activation of DC, and this activity is augmented upon PPAR? activation.

Project description:Although MK886 was originally identified as an inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP), recent data demonstrate that this activity does not underlie its ability to induce apoptosis [Datta, Biswal and Kehrer (1999) Biochem. J. 340, 371--375]. Since FLAP is a fatty-acid binding protein, it is conceivable that MK886 may affect other such proteins. A family of nuclear receptors that are activated by fatty acids and their metabolites, the peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), have been implicated in apoptosis and may represent a target for MK886. The ability of MK886 to inhibit PPAR-alpha, -beta and -gamma activity was assessed using reporter assay systems (peroxisome-proliferator response element--luciferase). Using a transient transfection system in monkey kidney fibroblast CV-1 cells, mouse keratinocyte 308 cells and human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells, 10--20 microM MK886 inhibited Wy14,643 activation of PPAR alpha by approximately 80%. Similar inhibition of PPAR alpha by MK886 was observed with a stable transfection reporter system in CV-1 cells. Only minimal inhibitory effects were seen on PPAR beta and PPAR gamma. MK886 inhibited PPAR alpha by a non-competitive mechanism as shown by its effects on the binding of arachidonic acid to PPAR alpha protein, and a dose-response study using a transient transfection reporter assay in COS-1 cells. An assay assessing PPAR ligand-receptor interactions showed that MK886 prevents the conformational change necessary for active-complex formation. The expression of keratin-1, a protein encoded by a PPAR alpha-responsive gene, was reduced by MK886 in a culture of mouse primary keratinocytes, suggesting that PPAR inhibition has functional consequences in normal cells. Although Jurkat cells express all PPAR isoforms, various PPAR alpha and PPAR gamma agonists were unable to prevent MK886-induced apoptosis. This is consistent with MK886 functioning as a non-competitive inhibitor of PPAR alpha, but may also indicate that PPAR alpha is not directly involved in MK886-induced apoptosis. Although numerous PPAR activators have been identified, the results show that MK886 can inhibit PPAR alpha, making it the first compound identified to have such an effect.
