Aim: To examine the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms of DZ2002, a reversible S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase (SAHH) inhibitor, on lupus-prone female NZBxNZW F1 (NZB/W F1) mice.Methods: Female NZB/W F1 mice were treated orally with DZ2002 (0.5 mg.kg(-1).d(-1)) for 11 weeks, and the proteinuria level and body weight were monitored. After the mice ware euthanized, serum biochemical parameters and renal damage were determined. Splenocytes of NZB/W F1 mice were isolated for ex vivo study. Toll-like receptor (TLR)-stimulated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) were used for in vitro study.Results: Treatment of the mice with DZ2002 significantly attenuated the progression of glomerulonephritis and improved the overall health. The improvement was accompanied by decreased levels of nephritogenic anti-dsDNA IgG2a and IgG3 antibodies, serum IL-17, IL-23p19 and TGF-beta. In ex vivo studies, treatment of the mice with DZ2002 suppressed the development of pathogenic Th17 cells, significantly decreased IL-17, TGF-beta, IL-6, and IL-23p19 production and impeded activation of the STAT3 protein and JNK/NF-kappa B signaling in splenocytes. DZ2002 (500 mu mol/L) significantly suppressed TLR agonists-stimulated up-regulation in IL-6, IL-12p40, TNF-alpha, and IgG and IgM secretion as well as in HLA-DR and CD40 expression of dendritic cells among human PBMCs in vitro. DZ2002 (100 mu mol/L) also significantly suppressed TLR agonists-stimulated up-regulation in IL-6 and IL-23p19 production in murine BMDCs, and prevented Th17 differentiation and suppressed IL-17 secretion by the T cells in a BMDC-T cell co-culture system.Conclusion: DZ2002 effectively ameliorates lupus syndrome in NZB/W F1 mice by regulating TLR signaling-mediated antigen presenting cell (APC) responses.
