Background: Prostaglandin (PG) E-2 exerts a variety of actions through 4 G protein-coupled receptors designated as EP1, EP2, EP3, and EP4. We have reported that PGE(2) acts on EP3 in airway epithelial cells and exerts anti-inflammatory actions in ovalbumin-induced murine allergic asthma. Although EP3 is also expressed in skin and PGE(2) is produced abundantly during skin allergic inflammation, the role of PGE(2)-EP3 signaling in skin allergic inflammation remains unknown.Objective: We sought to investigate whether PGE(2)-EP3 signaling exerts anti-inflammatory actions in skin allergic inflammation.Methods: We used a murine contact hypersensitivity (CHS) model and examined the role of EP3 by using an EP3-selective agonist, ONO-AE-248 (AE248), and EP3-deficient mice. The inflammation was evaluated by the thickness and histology of the hapten-challenged ear. Inflammation-associated changes in gene expression and effects of AE248 were examined by means of microarray analysis of the skin. Localization of EP3 was examined by staining for beta-galactosidase knocked in at the EP3 locus in EP3-deficient mice. EP3 action was also examined in cultured keratinocytes.Results: Administration of AE248 during the elicitation phase significantly suppressed CHS compared with that seen in vehicle-treated mice. Microarray analysis revealed that administration of AE248 inhibited the gene expression of neutrophil-recruiting chemokines, including CXCL1, at the elicitation site. X-gal staining in EP3-deficient mice revealed EP3 expression in keratinocytes, which was further confirmed by anti-EP3 antibody in wild-type mice. In cultured keratinocytes AE248 suppressed CXCL1 production induced by TNF-alpha.Conclusion: PGE(2)-EP3, signaling inhibits keratinocytes activation and exerts anti-inflammatory actions in murine CHS.
