Over the past decade, dexmedetomidine (DEX) has been found to possess an anti-inflammatory effect. However, the local anti-inflammatory mechanism of DEX has not been fully clarified. Some intracellular inflammatory pathways lead to negative feedback during the inflammatory process. The cyclooxygenase (COX) cascade synthesizes prostaglandins (PGs) and plays a key role in inflammation, but is known to also have anti-inflammatory properties through an alternative route of a PGD(2) metabolite, 15-deoxy-delta-12,14-prostaglandin J(2) (15d-PGJ(2)), and its receptor, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma). Therefore, we hypothesized that DEX inhibits LPS-induced inflammatory responses through 15d-PGJ(2) and/or PPAR gamma activation, and evaluated the effects of DEX on these responses. The RAW264.7 mouse macrophage-like cells were pre-incubated with DEX, followed by the addition of LPS to induce inflammatory responses. Concentrations of TNF alpha, IL-6, PGE(2), and 15d-PGJ(2) in the supernatants of the cells were measured, and gene expressions of PPAR gamma and COX-2 were evaluated in the cells. Furthermore, we evaluated whether a selective alpha(2) adrenoceptor antagonist, yohimbine or a selective PPAR gamma antagonist, T0070907, reversed the effects of DEX on the LPS-induced inflammatory responses. DEX inhibited LPS-induced TNF alpha, IL-6, and PGE(2) productions and COX-2 mRNA expression, and the effects of DEX were reversed by yohimbine. On the other hand, DEX significantly increased 15d-PGJ(2) production and PPAR gamma mRNA expression, and yohimbine reversed these DEX's effects. Furthermore, T0070907 reversed the anti-inflammatory effects of DEX on TNF alpha(2) and IL-6 productions in the cells. These results suggest that DEX inhibits LPS-induced inflammatory responses through PPAR gamma activation following binding to alpha(2) adrenoceptors.
