Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide and Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-Activating Polypeptide Prevent Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Transcription in Macrophages by Inhibiting NF-{kappa}B and IFN Regulatory Factor 1 Activation1

High-output nitric oxide (NO) production from activated macrophages, resulting from the induction of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) expression, represents a major mechanism for macrophage cytotoxicity against pathogens. However, despite its beneficial role in host defense, sustained high-output NO production was also implicated in a variety of acute inflammatory diseases and autoimmune diseases. Therefore, the down-regulation of iNOS expression during an inflammatory process plays a significant physiological role. This study examines the role of two immunomodulatory neuropeptides, the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and the pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), on NO production by LPS-, IFN-{gamma}-, and LPS/IFN-{gamma}-stimulated peritoneal macrophages and the Raw 264.7 cell line. Both VIP and PACAP inhibit NO production in a dose- and time-dependent manner by reducing iNOS expression at protein and mRNA level. VPAC1, the type 1 VIP receptor, which is constitutively expressed in macrophages, and to a lesser degree VPAC2, the type 2 VIP receptor, which is induced upon macrophage activation, mediate the effect of VIP/PACAP. VIP/PACAP inhibit iNOS expression and activity both in vivo and in vitro. Two transduction pathways appear to be involved, a cAMP-dependent pathway that preferentially inhibits IFN regulatory factor-1 transactivation and a cAMP-independent pathway that blocks NF-{kappa}B binding to the iNOS promoter. The down-regulation of iNOS expression, together with previously reported inhibitory effects on the production of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6, TNF-{alpha}, and IL-12, and the stimulation of the anti-inflammatory IL-10, define VIP and PACAP as "macrophage deactivating factors" with significant physiological relevance.
