    Abstract:
    AIMS: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that results in gingival inflammation and periodontal tissue destruction and is accompanied by alveolar bone resorption and eventual tooth loss. We examined the effect of 15-deoxy-Delta(12,14)-prostaglandin J(2) (15d-PGJ(2)) on periodontitis by inhibiting the production of interleukin-6 (IL-6). MAIN METHODS: Osteoblast-like cells MC3T3E-1 were pretreated with 15d-PGJ(2) before being incubated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the effect of 15d-PGJ(2) on IL-6 production, expression and its regulatory mechanisms were studied by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), Western blot, electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), and confocal laser scanning microscopy study. KEY FINDINGS: 15d-PGJ(2) inhibits LPS-stimulated IL-6 production in a concentration-dependent manner in osteoblast-like cells MC3T3E-1, without appreciable cytotoxicity. To further examine the mechanism responsible for the inhibition of IL-6 production by 15d-PGJ(2), we examined the effect of 15d-PGJ(2) on nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation and the phosphorylation of protein kinase B (Akt). 15d-PGJ(2) treatment clearly reduced the DNA binding activity of NF-kappaB in LPS-stimulated osteoblast-like cells MC3T3E-1, an effect that was mediated by inhibiting the degradation of inhibitor kappaB (IkappaB) and nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB p65 subunit. In addition, 15d-PGJ(2) attenuated the LPS-mediated Akt pathway. These effects of 15d-PGJ(2) were not abrogated by the PPARgamma antagonist, GW9662, indicating that they are PPARgamma-independent actions. SIGNIFICANCE: These results suggest that 15d-PGJ(2) possess a potent suppressive effect on inflammatory responses of osteoblast-like cells MC3T3E-1 via the Akt and NF-kappaB pathways independent of PPARgamma and suggest that this compound may offer some insight into the development of a new therapeutic approach to the prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases.
