15-Deoxy-Delta(12,14)-prostaglandin J(2) (15d-PGJ(2)), a cyclopentenone prostaglandin, displays a potent anti-inflammatory effect at micromolar concentrations (> 2 muM) through direct inhibition of nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB activation. Here we show that at submicromolar concentrations (0.1-0.5 muM) 15d-PGJ(2) retains the ability to suppress the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and nitric oxide ( NO) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated murine J774 macrophages under the conditions of a prolonged incubation (> 12 h). Western blot analysis revealed that the expression of the cytoprotective enzyme, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), was induced and coincident with the anti-inflammatory action of 15d-PGJ(2). Inhibition of HO-1 activity or scavenging carbon monoxide (CO), a byproduct derived from heme degradation, significantly attenuated the suppressive activity of 15d-PGJ(2). Furthermore, LPS-induced NF-kappaB activation assessed by the inhibitory protein of NF-kappaB (IkappaB) degradation and p50 nuclear translocation was diminished in cells subjected to prolonged treatment with the low concentration of 15d-PGJ(2). Treatment of cells with the protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide, or the specific p38 MAP kinase inhibitor, SB203580, blocked the induction of HO-1 and suppression of LPS-induced IkappaB degradation mediated by 15d-PGJ(2). Likewise, HO inhibitor and CO scavenger were effective in abolishing the inhibitory effects of 15d-PGJ(2) on NF-kappaB activation induced by LPS. The functional role of CO was further demonstrated by the use of a CO releasing molecule, tricarbonyldichlororuthenium(II) dimer, which significantly suppressed LPS-induced nuclear translocation of p50 as assessed by confocal immunofluorescence. Collectively, these data suggest that even at submicromolar concentrations 15d-PGJ(2) can exert an anti-inflammatory effect in macrophages through a mechanism that involves the action of HO/CO.
