Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is one of pro-inflammatory mediators. PGE2 maintains the homeostasis of many organ including articular cartilage. and a previous report showed that continuous inhibition of PGF2 accelerates the progression of osteoarthritis (OA). While PGE2 inhibits matrix metalloprotease (MMP) expression in Several types of cells, little is known on direct effects of PGE2 on MMP expression in articular chondrocytes. The objective of this study Was 10 investigate direct effects of PGE1 on IL-1 beta-induced MMP-1 and MMP-13 expression and the intracellular signaling in articular chondrocytes. PGF2 showed inhibitory effects on IL-1 beta-induced MMP-1 and MMP-13 expression demonstrated by immunoblotting both in OA and normal chondrocytes, which was further confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunohistochemistry of explant cultures of articular cartilages. An EP4 agonist, ONO-AE1-329, mimicked the inhibitory effect of PGF2, while an EP4 antagonist, ONO-AE3-208, blocked (lie effects. PGE2 Suppressed the phosphorylation of JNK and ERK MAP kinases, but only knockdown of JNK by specific siRNA mimicked the effect of PGE2. PGF2 further inhibited the phosphorylation of MKK4 without suppression of MKK7 phosphorylation, and of c-JUN to decrease expression levels of MMP-1 and MMP-13. These results demonstrate that PGE2 inhibits IL-1 beta-induced MMP-1 and MMP-13 productions via EP4 by suppressing MKK4-JNK MAP kinase-c-JUN pathway. J. Cell. Biochem. 109: 425-433, 2010.
