It is increasingly recognized that excessive glucocorticoids induce fetal intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Placental 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 2 (11 beta-HSD2), a glucocorticoid-catalyzing enzyme, prevents active glucocorticoids from maternal circulation into the fetus, thus protecting against IUGR. Previous studies demonstrated gestational LPS exposure caused fetal IUGR. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effects of LPS on 11 beta-HSD2 in mice placentas and human placental trophoblasts. Pregnant ICR(CD-1) mice were i.p. injected with LPS (200 mu g/kg) on gestational day 16. As expected, gestational LPS exposure downregulated 11 beta-HSD2 in mice placentas. In vitro, LPS downregulated 11 beta-HSD2 in human placental trophoblasts. Additional experiment showed that LPS, which activated NF-kappa B, suppressed rosiglitazone-induced activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-y (PPAR gamma) in mice placentas and human placental trophoblasts. Moreover, NF-kappa B p65 knockdown and specific NF-kappa B inhibitor attenuated LPS-induced suppression of PPAR gamma nuclear translocation in human placental trophoblasts. In addition, NF-kappa B p65 knockdown attenuated LPS-induced downregulation of 11 beta-HSD2 in human placental trophoblasts. Mechanically, LPS promoted physical interaction between NF-kappa B p65 and PPAR gamma in the cytoplasm and nucleus of placental trophoblasts. Finally, pretreatment with rosiglitazone, a PPAR gamma agonist, partially alleviated LPS-induced reduction of fetal weight and crown-rump length. Taken together, these results suggest that LPS downregulates 11 beta-HSD2 through suppressing PPAR gamma in placental trophoblasts. Placental 11 beta-HSD2 downregulation may contribute partially to LPS-induced fetal IUGR.
