Abstract:
:Despite accumulating evidence, the role of leptin in chemokine expression is poorly understood. In this study, we evaluated the effects of leptin on CC-chemokine ligands (CCLs), CCL3, CCL4, and CCL5 gene expression in cultured murine macrophage, J774A.1 cells. Expression of all these CCLs mRNA was gradually increased and significant up-regulation was observed for 3-12 h exposure to leptin (1 microM). The phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (pSTAT3) was significantly increased for 5-20 min exposure to leptin, and it was localized in leptin receptor-positive macrophage. Pretreatment with AG490 (100 microM), a janus kinase 2 (JAK2) inhibitor, significantly suppressed leptin-induced pSTAT3 increases and the up-regulation of CCLs mRNA expression. In conclusion, leptin enhances CCLs expression in cultured murine macrophage, through activation of a JAK2-STAT3 pathway. Therefore, a new paradigm of leptin-mediated chemokine expression may lead to the clarification of complex immune systems in future.
