Selective Inhibitors of Cyclooxygenase-2 Delay the Activation of Nuclear Factor κB and Attenuate the Expression of Inflammatory Genes in Murine Macrophages Treated with Lipopolysaccharide

Abstract: The effect of rofecoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor, on inflammatory signaling has been investigated in elicited murine peritoneal macrophages. Macrophages treated with 10 M rofecoxib exhibited an important inhibition in the early activation of nuclear factor B (NF-B) and the mitogen-activated protein kinase p38, the extracellular-regulated kinase p44, and the c-Jun N-terminal kinase. Moreover, this drug decreased the protein levels of nitric-oxide synthase-2 and cyclooxygenase-2 in lipopolysacchar… Show more

“…4 and 5) was carried out. Rofecoxib (10 M) was previously shown to suppress COX2 and iNOS expression levels after 18 h of LPS activation, and the inhibition was LPS-dosedependent (effect was observed only at 100 ng/ml or lower LPS concentrations) (Callejas et al, 2003). In our experimental system optimized with 6 h of LPS activation at 1 g/ml, rofecoxib was unable to significantly inhibit gene expression (Fig.…”

“…However, there are indications that there may be some actions of the drug on signal transduction pathways that may be of considerable significance. Thus, the binding of the transcription factor NFKB to DNA was inhibited at high concentrations of 10-100 ~molll whereas the binding of API was markedly increased at 100 ~olll concentrations of the drug [337,338]. These concentrations are relatively high and thus caution should be noted about the interpretation of these effects in relationship to known pharmacologically active concentrations of the drug.…”
