Abstract: | Interleukin-4 (IL-4), which has been widely described as an anti-inflammatory cytokine, can also exert proinflammatory effects. In this study, we extend these findings to demonstrate, in an allergic model, the dual effect of IL-4 on arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism in macrophages. In peritoneal macrophages from control rats (cPM), IL-4 had no effect on cPLA2 and 5-LO expression, but increased FLAP expression without affecting basal and A23187- or PMA-challenged arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism. In contrast, in peritoneal macrophages from ovalbumin-sensitized rats (sPM), IL-4 decreased cPLA2, 5-LO and FLAP expression and PMA-challenged eicosanoid production. A23187-challenged AA metabolism of sPM was not affected by IL-4 pretreatment. Thus, IL-4 acts differently on cPLA2, 5-LO and FLAP expression and AA metabolism in peritoneal macrophages depending on their resident or sensitization-induced differentiated status. |
