Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 are critical mediators of renal injury by promoting excessive inflammation and extracellular matrix deposition, thereby contributing to progressive renal disease. In renal disease models, MCP-1 stimulates the production of TGF-beta1. However, a potential role for TGF-beta1 in the regulation of MCP-1 production by mesangial cells (MCs) has not previously been evaluated. The objectives of this study were to define the role of TGF-beta1 in regulation of MCP-1 expression in cultured MCs and to define mechanisms through which rolipram (Rp), a phosphodiesterase isoenzyme 4 (PDE4) inhibitor with anti-inflammatory properties, alters MCP-1 expression. TGF-beta1 induced MCP-1 in a time- and dose-dependent manner without increasing transcription of the MCP-1 gene. TGF-beta1-mediated induction of MCP-1 occurred without activation of the NF-kappaB pathway. Rp blocked TGF-beta1-stimulated MCP-1 expression via a protein kinase A-dependent process, at least in part, by decreasing MCP-1 message stability. Rp exerted no effect on activation of the Smad pathway by TGF-beta1. TGF-beta1-mediated induction of MCP-1 required activation of ERK and p38, both of which were suppressed by a PDE4 inhibitor. TGF-beta1-stimulated reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation by MCs, and Rp inhibited ROS generation in TGF-beta1-stimulated MCs; in addition, both Rp and ROS scavengers blocked TGF-beta1-stimulated MCP-1 expression. We conclude that TGF-beta1 stimulates MCP-1 expression through pathways involving activation of ERK, p38, and ROS generation. Positive cross-talk between TGF-beta1 and MCP-1 signaling in MCs may underlie the development of progressive renal disease. Rp, by preventing TGF-beta1-stimulated MCP-1 production, may offer a therapeutic approach in retarding the progression of renal disease.
