S100A8 and S100A9 regulate polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) recruitment and represent 40% of PMN cytosolic protein weight. We have shown that S100A8/S100A9 inhibit PMN oxidative metabolism. The present study was designed to elucidate the mechanisms of this anti-oxidative effect. We hypothesized that the protease activated receptor-2 (PAR-2) played a role in the down-regulation of PMN oxidative metabolism by S100A8/S100A9. Freshly isolated PMNs were tested for their ability to oxidize dichlorofluorescin-diacetate. Functional inhibition of PAR-2 with ENMD-1068, the pepducin P2pal-21 or an antibody directed at PAR-2 cleavage/activation site, resulted in a significant inhibition of S100A8 and S100A9 anti-oxidative effect. Conversely, the controlled activation of PAR-2 potentiated S100 anti-oxidative effect. Taken together, the data indicate that the anti-oxidative effect of S100A8/A9 is initiated by PAR-2 activation. S100A8/S100A9 may therefore dampen inflammation without interfering with its initial strength. This finding opens translational possibilities to limit deleterious PMN activation with a dual PAR-2/S100 strategy.
S100A8 和 S100A9 调节多形核粒细胞 (PMN) 的募集,占 PMN 胞质蛋白重量的 40%。我们已经表明,S100A8/S100A9 抑制 PMN 的氧化代谢。本研究旨在阐明这种抗氧化作用的机制。我们假设蛋白酶激活受体-2 (PAR-2) 在 S100A8/S100A9 下调 PMN 氧化代谢中发挥作用。新鲜分离的 PMN 被检测其氧化二氯荧光素二乙酸酯的能力。用 ENMD-1068、肽 P2pal-21 或针对 PAR-2 切割/激活位点的抗体功能抑制 PAR-2,导致 S100A8 和 S100A9 的抗氧化作用显著抑制。相反,PAR-2 的受控激活增强了 S100 的抗氧化作用。总之,这些数据表明 S100A8/A9 的抗氧化作用是由 PAR-2 激活引发的。S100A8/S100A9 因此可能在不干扰其初始强度的情况下抑制炎症。这一发现为采用双重 PAR-2/S100 策略限制有害 PMN 激活提供了转化的可能性。
