Crth2 receptor signaling down‐regulates lipopolysaccharide‐induced NF‐αB activation in murine macrophages via changes in intracellular calcium

Abstract

Prostaglandin D2 and its cyclopentenone metabolites [cyclopentenone prostaglandins (CyPGs)], Δ12prostaglandin J2 and 15‐deoxy‐Δ12, 14‐prostaglandin J2, act through2GPCRs, d‐type prostanoid 1 and the chemoattractant receptor homologous molecule expressed on type 2 T‐helper cells (Crth2). In addition to its role in allergy and asthma, the role of Crth2 in the resolution of inflammation, to mediate the proresolving functions of endogenous CyPGs, is not well understood. We investigated the regulation of LPS or zymosan‐induced inflammatory response by signals from the Crth2 receptor in macrophages that lack Crth2 expression [knockout (KO)]. Increased expression of proinflammatory genes, including Tnf‐α, was observed in Crth2 KO cells. Targeting the endogenous biosynthetic pathway of CyPGs with indomethacin or HQL79, which inhibit cyclooxygenases or hematopoietic prostaglandin D synthase, respectively, or use of Crth2 antagonists recapitulated the proinflammatory phenotype as in Crth2 KO cells. Ligand‐dependent activation of Crth2 by 13, 14‐dihydro‐15‐keto‐prostaglandin D2 increased Ca2+ influx through store‐operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) accompanied by the up‐regulation of stromal interaction molecule 1 and calcium release‐activated calcium modulator 1 expression, suggesting that the proresolution effects of CyPG‐dependent activation of SOCE could be mediated by Crth2 during inflammation. Interestingly, Crth2 signaling down‐regulated the Ca2+‐regulated heat stable protein 1 that stabilizes Tnf‐α mRNA via the increased expression of microRNA 155 to dampen inflammatory responses triggered through the TNF‐α‐NF‐αB axis. In summary, these studies present a novel regulatory role for Crth2 during inflammatory response in macrophages.—Diwakar, B.

A Novel Thienopyrimidine Analog, TPH104, Mediates Immunogenic Cell Death in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells

“…Cells were harvested in 1 mL Tri Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific) after incubation with vehicle or the test compounds, following gentle washing with ice-cold PBS, and stored at −80 °C until RNA extraction was performed. RNA extraction was conducted according to the manufacturer’s protocol, with modifications, as previously described [ 45 ]. Subsequently, RNA was reverse transcribed to cDNA using a High-Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Life Technologies).…”

Conditioned Medium of Human Amniotic Epithelial Cells Alleviates Experimental Allergic Conjunctivitis Mainly by IL-1ra and IL-10

“…Despite previous reports on the relationship between Ca 2+ i/ NF-kB signaling and inflammatory/allergic responses (45)(46)(47), we hypothesized whether the regulatory effect of AECM on MC is mediated by NF-kB signaling. Thus, we performed Western blotting to examine NF-kB signaling and related signaling molecules.…”

“…However, CyPGs were shown to act preferentially on Gpr44. Interestingly, Se treatment (> 200 nM) led to increased activation of Gpr44 through these non-enzymatic metabolites of PGD 2 (as described below) that decreased COX-2 expression via increased Ca 2+ mobilization and expression of miR155, which attenuates the activation of NF-κB via downregulating the autocrine loop involving TNF-α in macrophages (Diwakar et al 2019). Given that oxidative stress is involved in asthma, the interplay of two GPCRs (Gpr44 and another PGD 2 receptor, DP1) and their ligand-specific and temporal regulation may dictate the outcome of whether Se supplementation would be beneficial or not.…”
