Abstract
Since early growth response-1 (Egr-1) is required for macrophage differentiation and nitric oxide (NO) is immunosuppressive, we hypothesized that NO would reduce Egr-1 expression in rat lung macrophages. The inflammatory stimuli interferon-gamma and lipopolysaccharide induced an early, transient increase in Egr-1 mRNA (> 5-fold at 2 h) and a sustained, high level of inducible NO synthase mRNA (> 100-fold from 4 to 24 h). The NO metabolites nitrite and nitrate rose > 10-fold in medium from stimulated versus unstimulated cells over 24 h. Concomitant with elevated nitrogen oxides, Egr-1 mRNA levels declined to 80% below unstimulated cells at 24 h. This decline was blocked by an inhibitor of NO production, NG-monomethyl-L-arginine. Further, the NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine inhibited Egr-1 expression in a dose-dependent manner, producing complete inhibition at 0.5 mM. The effect of S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine was not due to reduced macrophage viability. We conclude that Egr-1 induction precedes inducible NO synthase induction in stimulated rat macrophages and that subsequent NO production reduces macrophage expression of Egr-1. We propose that this mechanism is used to regulate macrophage differentiation in human immunodeficiency virus infection and other inflammatory states.
