INTRODUCTION: This work was undertaken to delineate intracellular signaling
pathways for the PDE4 inhibitor apremilast and to examine interactions between
apremilast, methotrexate and adenosine A2A receptors (A2AR). METHODS: After
apremilast and LPS incubation, intracellular cAMP, TNF-?, IL-10, IL-6 and IL-1?
were measured in the Raw264.7 monocytic murine cell line. PKA, Epac1/2 (signaling
intermediates for cAMP) and A2AR knockdowns were performed by shRNA transfection
and interactions with A2AR and A2BR, as well as with methotrexate were tested in
vitro and in the murine air pouch model. Statistical differences were determined
using one or two-way ANOVA or Student's t test. The alpha nominal level was set
at 0.05 in all cases. A P value of < 0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: In
vitro, apremilast increased intracellular cAMP and inhibited TNF-? release
(IC50=104nM) and the specific A2AR-agonist CGS21680 (1?M) increased apremilast
potency (IC50=25nM). In this cell line, apremilast increased IL-10 production.
PKA, Epac1 and Epac2 knockdowns prevented TNF-? inhibition and IL-10 stimulation
by apremilast. In the murine air pouch model, both apremilast and MTX
significantly inhibited leukocyte infiltration, while apremilast, but not MTX,
significantly inhibited TNF-? release. The addition of MTX (1 mg/kg) to
apremilast (5 mg/kg) yielded no more inhibition of leukocyte infiltration or
TNF-? release than with apremilast alone. CONCLUSIONS: The immunoregulatory
effects of apremilast appear to be mediated by cAMP through the downstream
effectors PKA, Epac1, and Epac2. A2AR agonism potentiated TNF-? inhibition by
apremilast, consistent with the cAMP-elevating effects of that receptor. Because
the A2AR is also involved in the anti-inflammatory effects of MTX, the mechanism
of action of both drugs involves cAMP-dependent pathways and is therefore
partially overlapping in nature.
