Abstract |
The infiltration of PMNs into tissues is a prominent feature in inflammation. The mechanism underlying PMN recruitment depends on the release of chemotactic mediators and CAM expression on endothelial cells. The nuclear receptor PPARbeta/delta is widely expressed in many tissues, including the vascular endothelium; however, its role in acute inflammation remains unclear. Using intravital microscopy in the mouse cremasteric microcirculation, we have shown that activation of PPARbeta/delta by its selective ligand GW501516 inhibits TNF-alpha-induced leukocyte rolling flux, adhesion, and emigration in a dose-dependant manner. Moreover, GW501516 reduced the expression of adhesion molecules such as ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and E-selectin in the cremasteric postcapillary venules. Similarly, rolling and adhesion of hPMNs under physiological flow on TNF-alpha-activated HUVECs were also inhibited markedly by GW501516. These inhibitory responses of GW501516 on activated endothelium were accompanied by a reduction in TNF-alpha-induced endothelial GRO-alpha release and VCAM-1, E-selectin, and ICAM-1 mRNA expression. Taken together, our results show that PPARbeta/delta modulates acute inflammation in vivo and in vitro under flow by targeting the neutrophil-endothelial cell interaction.
