タイトル Effect of rebamipide on prostaglandin receptors-mediated increase of inflammatory cytokine production by macrophages.
ジャーナル Aliment Pharmacol Ther
Abstract BACKGROUND:Rebamipide (Reb) is an anti-ulcer drug, and has unique properties such as anti-inflammatory action. We previously reported that prostaglandins (PGs) dramatically increased vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a known angiogenic factor and a vascular permeable factor, by activated macrophages through specific PGE receptor and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma, a nuclear receptor of PG) mediated process. Effects of PGs on the production of other cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 have been controversial.
AIM:To clarify the anti-inflammatory roles of Reb, we examined the effect of Reb on PGE1- and 15-deoxy-Delta12, 14-PGJ2 (a potent PPARgamma ligand, 15d-PGJ2) -induced increase of VEGF production by macrophages. Additionally, effects of these PGs on the production of IL-6 and IL-8, and modulation of these actions by Reb were studied.
METHODS:Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-differentiated U937 cells were used as a human macrophage model (H-Mac). VEGF, IL-6, IL-8 and cAMP were measured by EIA.
RESULTS:Reb suppressed PGE1-, but not 15d-PGJ2-, induced increase of VEGF production partially through decrease of cAMP formation. Reb suppressed PGE1 -, but not 15d-PGJ2-, induced increase of IL-6 and IL-8 production.
CONCLUSION:Reb suppresses membrane, but not nuclear PG receptors mediated increase of inflammatory cytokine production, which may be involved in anti-ulcer action of this drug.
