BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Pentraxin-3 (PTX3) reportedly has protective roles in
atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction, and is a useful biomarker of vascular
inflammation. However, the detailed functions of PTX3 in inflammation are yet to
be elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the function of PTX3 in
macrophages. METHODS: PMA-treated THP-1 cell line (THP-1 macrophage) and
monocyte-derived human primary macrophages were treated with recombinant PTX3.
Cytokine and chemokine levels in the THP-1 culture medium were measured as well
as monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP-1) concentrations in the Raw 264.7 cell
culture medium. PTX3-silenced apoptotic macrophages (THP-1 cell line) were
generated to investigate the roles of PTX3 in phagocytosis. RESULTS: In the
presence of PTX3, macrophage interleukin-1? (IL-1?), tumor necrosis factor-alpha
(TNF-?) and MCP-1 levels were reduced significantly (-39%, P=0.007; -21%,
P=0.008; and -67%, P=0.0003, respectively), whilst activated transforming growth
factor-? (TGF-?) was detected in the THP-1 macrophages (P=0.0004). Additionally,
PTX3 induced Akt phosphorylation and reduced nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-?B)
activation by 35% (P=0.002), which was induced by TNF-? in THP-1 macrophages.
Furthermore, silencing of PTX3 in apoptotic cells resulted in increased
macrophage binding, elevated expression rate of HLA-DR (+30%, P=0.015) and CD86
(+204%, P=0.004) positive cells, and induction of IL-1? (+36%, P=0.024)
production. Conversely, adding recombinant PTX3 to macrophages reduced CD86 and
HLA-DR expression in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS: We identified PTX3 as
a novel regulator of macrophage activity, and this function suggests that PTX3
acts to resolve inflammation.
