Noradrenaline (NA) and adrenaline (Ad) are modulators of cytokine production. Here we investigated the role of these neurotransmitters in the regulation of macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1alpha expression. Pretreatment of RAW 264.7 macrophages with NA or Ad decreased, in a concentration-dependent manner (1 nM-100 microM), MIP-1alpha release induced by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS 10 ng ml(-1) LPS). The effect of NA was reversed by the selective beta-adrenoceptor antagonist propranolol (10 microM), but not by the alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist phentolamine (10 microM). In the concentration range of 10 nM-10 microM, isoproterenol, a beta-adrenoceptor agonist, but not phenylephrine (a selective alpha1-adrenoceptor agonist) or UK-14304 (a selective alpha2-adrenoceptor agonist) mimicked the inhibitory effects of catecholamines on MIP-1alpha production. Increases in intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate, elicited either by the selective type IV phosphodiesterase inhibitor rolipram (0.1 - 10 microM), or by prostaglandin E2, (10 nM-10 microM) decreased MIP-1alpha release, suggesting that increased cyclic AMP may contribute to the suppression of MIP-1alpha release by beta-adrenoceptor stimulation. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that NA (100 nM-10 microM), Ad, isoproterenol, as well as rolipram (100 nM-10 microM) decreased LPS-induced MIP-1alpha mRNA accumulation. NA and Ad (1-100 microM) also decreased MIP-1alpha production in thioglycollate-elicited murine peritoneal macrophages. Pretreatment of mice with either isoproterenol (10 mg kg(-1), i.p.) or rolipram (25 mg kg(-1), i.p.) decreased LPS-induced plasma levels of MIP-1alpha, while propranolol (10 mg kg(-1), i.p.) augmented the production of this chemokine, confirming the role of a beta-adrenoceptor mediated endogenous catecholamine action in the regulation of MIP-1alpha production in vivo. Thus, based on our data we conclude that catecholamines are important endogenous regulators of MIP-1alpha expression in inflammation.
