PGD2, a major mast cell mediator, is a potent eosinophil chemoattractant and is thought to be involved in eosinophil recruitment to sites of allergic inflammation. In plasma, PGD2 is rapidly transformed into its major metabolite
12-PGJ2, the effect of which on eosinophil migration has not yet been characterized. In this study we found that
12-PGJ2 was a highly effective chemoattractant and inducer of respiratory burst in human eosinophils, with the same efficacy as PGD2, PGJ2, or 15-deoxy-
12,14-PGJ2. Moreover, pretreatment of eosinophils with
12-PGJ2 markedly enhanced the chemotactic response to eotaxin, and in this respect
12-PGJ2 was more effective than PGD2.
12-PGJ2-induced facilitation of eosinophil migration toward eotaxin was not altered by specific inhibitors of intracellular signaling pathways relevant to the chemotactic response, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (LY-294002), mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase (U-0126), or p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (SB-202190). Desensitization studies using calcium flux suggested that
12-PGJ2 signaled through the same receptor, CRTH2, as PGD2. Finally,
12-PGJ2 was able to mobilize mature eosinophils from the bone marrow of the guinea pig isolated perfused hind limb. Given that
12-PGJ2 is present in the systemic circulation at relevant levels, a role for this PGD2 metabolite in eosinophil release from the bone marrow and in driving eosinophil recruitment to sites of inflammation appears conceivable.
