We determined whether salicylate at
pharmacological concentrations inhibits nitric-oxide synthase-2 (NOS-2)
and cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) expressions in RAW 264.7 stimulated with
lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interferon-
Salicylate Suppresses Macrophage Nitric-oxide Synthase-2 and
Cyclo-oxygenase-2 Expression by Inhibiting CCAAT/Enhancer-binding
Protein-
Binding via a Common Signaling Pathway*
(IFN-
). Cells were
treated with sodium salicylate
(10
7-10
4 M) or vehicle
for 30 min followed by LPS+IFN-
for up to 24 h. Salicylate
suppressed NOS-2 and COX-2 protein levels and promoter activities
stimulated by LPS+IFN-
for 4 h in a
concentration-dependent manner but had no effect on NOS-2
expression stimulated by the combined agonists for 24 h. Results
from promoter analysis indicate that the binding of
CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein
(C/EBP
) to its cognate site at
150/
142 on the NOS-2 promoter region was essential for NOS-2
expression at 4 h but not at 24 h. Salicylate reduced
C/EBP
binding at 4 h and did not alter its binding at 24 h. NOS-2 and COX-2 protein levels and C/EBP
binding stimulated by
LPS+IFN-
for 4 h were inhibited by a similar battery of
signaling inhibitors, suggesting a common pathway for NOS-2 and COX-2
expression. Kinetic analysis indicates that NOS-2, similar to COX-2
expression, at 4 h was largely due to the action of LPS, which
induced C/EBP
binding, whereas its expression at a longer time point
was contributed by IFN-
. Our findings implicate two distinct
pathways for NOS-2 expression induced by LPS+IFN-
. Salicylate at
pharmacological concentrations is capable of suppressing the early
phase of NOS-2 and COX-2 expression by blocking C/EBP
binding.
