IL-4 Down-Regulates Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Formyl Peptide Receptor 2 in Murine Microglial Cells by Inhibiting the Activation of Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases

Abstract: Microglial cells actively participate in proinflammatory responses in the CNS. Upon stimulation with the bacterial LPS, microglial cells express a functional formyl peptide receptor 2 which mediates the chemotactic and activating effects of a variety of polypeptide agonists including amyloid β (Aβ1–42), a critical pathogenic agent in Alzheimer’s disease. In the present study, we found that LPS-induced expression and function of formyl peptide receptor 2 in microglial cells was markedly inhibited by IL-4, a Th2… Show more

“…Another interesting finding is that LPS similarly to A␤ impairs CD11c expression by microglia (unpublished observation), and both induce similar patterns of mitogen-activated protein kinase activation in microglia (32). IL-4 can attenuate a mitogenactivated protein kinase pathway activated by LPS, an effect evidently associated with serine͞threonine phosphatase activity (33). The latter phenomenon might indeed serve as a molecular mechanism underlying the present finding that IL-4 attenuates the detrimental effect of A␤-activated microglia.…”

“…Immune cells possess high sensitivity to LPS with the activation of various intracellular cascades that induce the expression of defense systems. Interestingly, LPS-induced increased expression has also been observed for Fpr1 and Fpr2 in microglial cells (48,49) and for Fpr1 in neutrophils (50). We now show that Fpr3 belongs to the group of genes that are up-regulated after LPS exposure in immune cells and thus likely contributes to immune defense against bacteria.…”
