Preliminary studies show that intranasal (i.n.) administration of BCG in mice induces M1 activation of alveolar macrophages (M∅) that increase TNF-α production and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression but reduce constitutive peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) expression. However, COX-2 is catalytically inactive for prostaglandin E2release, unlike COX-2 that is active in M1 activationin vitroby BCG. In this study, we determined the role of PPARγ for BCG-induced M1 activationin vivoandin vitro. We found that treatment of mice with GW9662, a PPARγ antagonist, prior to i.n. BCG, partially restored PPARγ expression, and decreased TNF-α production and COX-2 expression. But COX-2 was still inactive. The decreased effects on TNF-α and COX-2 were also observed when alveolar M∅ were treatedin vitrowith GW9662/BCG, but COX-2 was still active. Our results indicate that PPARγ upregulates M1 activation of alveolar M∅, but inactive COX-2 formation is independent of PPARγ in mycobacterial pulmonary inflammation.
