metabolism of phospholipids, such as those of lung surfactant. Prx 6 is Three kinds of enzymes, phospholipase A2, COX, and terminal PG
synthases, are involved in the biosynthesis of the conventional
prostaglandins PGD2 and PGE2. Cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2)
catalyzes the hydrolysis of the sn-2 acyl bond of membrane
phospholipids, resulting in production of lysophospholipids and
release of free arachidonic acid, which is then supplied to either of
the two COX isoenzymes, constitutive COX-1 (PGH synthase 1) or
inducible COX-2 (PGH synthase 2). The COX metabolite PGH2 is
subsequently isomerized to PGD2 or PGE2 by terminal PG synthase

BMMs were generated and cultivated in a serum-free cell culture
system as recently described [21]. Briefly, tibias and femurs were
aseptically removed and bone marrow cells were flushed with sterile
phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and centrifuged at 150 g for 15 min.
The cells were resuspended in RPMI medium containing 5% Panexin
BMM (PAN Biotech, Aidenbach, Germany), 2 ng/ml recombinant
murine GM-CSF (PAN Biotech), and 50 μM mercaptoethanol and
cultivated for at least 10 days at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere
containing 95% air and 5% CO2. Twenty-four hours before stimulation
experiments, 2.5×105 BMMs were seeded in 12-well plates. When
indicated, BMMs were preincubated for 1 h with appropriate in-
hibitors followed by treatment with prostaglandins, LPS, and IFN-γ or
corresponding vehicle. The final concentrations of the vehicles were

PGD2 and PGE2 exert their effects through different G-protein-
coupled receptors, DP1-2 or EP1-4 [14]. Among these, the DP1, EP2,
and EP4 receptors increase cAMP via activation of adenylate cyclase
[15]. To date, most cAMP-mediated effects of PGD2 or PGE2 have been
explained by the classic downstream target, protein kinase A (PKA),
which phosphorylates the cAMP response element-binding protein
(CREB) in a variety of mammalian cells [16,17], or by a novel target for
cAMP, exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (Epac) [18,19].
So far, the regulatory mechanisms controlling Prx 6 expression in
response to prostaglandins are not known. Thus, the aim of this study
was first to investigate gene expression of peroxiredoxins in primary
macrophages by conventional and cyclopentenone prostaglandins
and second to characterize the role of various protein kinases and
transcription factors on Prx 6 mRNA expression.

Nitrite assay
Nitrite, the stable end product of nitric oxide, was quantified in
culture medium using the Griess reagent (modified). Briefly, 500 μl of
each supernatant was mixed with the same volume of Griess reagent
and absorbance was measured at 540 nm after 15 min. Nitrite
concentration was determined from a sodium nitrite standard curve.
RNA isolation and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR)
Total RNA was isolated using the TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen,
Karlsruhe, Germany) following the manufacturer's instructions.
Reverse transcription of 1 μg of total RNA was performed using the
Moloney murine leukemia virus reverse transcriptase (Promega,
Mannheim, Germany) and 0.5 μg oligo(dT) primer (Invitrogen). qRT-
PCR was performed using the LightCycler 480, and detection of
amplification products was done using the LightCycler 480 Probes
Master Kit (Roche). TaqMan PCR probes and gene-specific primer
pairs were generated by Microsynth (Balgach, Switzerland). Data
were analyzed with LightCycler software version 1.5. The reference
gene RPLP0 served for the standardization of the individual PCRs. All
assays were performed in duplicate and repeated four to six times as
indicated.
Western blot analysis
Proteins were prepared using the TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen)
according to the manufacturer's instructions. Protein content was
determined using the Bradford method. Equal amounts of protein
were separated by SDS–PAGE and transferred onto nitrocellulose
membranes by electroblotting. Membranes were blocked with 1×
Roti-Block (Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany) for 1 h at room temperature
and subsequently incubated overnight at 4 °C with a rabbit anti-
GAPDH, mouse anti-Prx 6, rabbit anti-Nrf2, or rabbit anti-histone H3
antibody (in 20 mM Tris, 138 mM NaCl, pH 7.6, 5% (w/v) bovine
serum albumin (BSA), 0.1% (v/v) Tween 20). HRP-conjugated anti-
mouse or anti-rabbit IgG (in 1× Roti-Block) was used as a secondary
antibody for 1 h at room temperature. The LumiGLO system (Cell
Signaling) was used for detection. All experiments were performed at
least twice. Densitometric measurements for relative quantification
were done using Kodak software.
Immunofluorescence staining
Nuclei of living primarymacrophages, cultured on coverslips, were
stained with the blue fluorescent Hoechst 33342 dye (Invitrogen) for
10 min at 37 °C. Macrophages were washed with ice-cold PBS,
incubated for 10 min in ice-cold methanol, and washed three times
with IF buffer (0.2% (w/v) BSA, 0.05% (w/v) saponin, 0.1% (w/v)
sodium azide in PBS, pH 7.4). To block nonspecific antibody binding,
cells were incubated for up to 1 h in IF buffer followed by an overnight
incubation at 4 °C in a humidity chamber with polyclonal rabbit anti-
Nrf2 antibody (in IF buffer). After a wash in IF buffer, the
immunoreacted primary antibody was visualized with green fluores-
cent Cy2-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (in IF buffer) by incubation
for 1 h at room temperature in the dark. After another wash in IF
buffer, slices were covered with Fluoprep (bioMérieux, Nürtingen,
Germany) and observed by fluorescence microscopy with a BZ-9000
microscope (Keyence Corp., Neu-Isenburg, Germany).
Preparation of nuclear extracts
Cells were harvested in ice-cold Dulbecco's PBS (D-PBS; Invitrogen).
After beingwashed, the cellswere incubated in hypomolarHepes buffer

way ANOVA nonparametric test followed by the Bonferroni posttest
for multiple comparisons or using Kruskal–Wallis test followed by the
Dunn posttest. Pb0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results
Gene expression of Prx 6 is increased by prostaglandins in bone
marrow-derived macrophages
To elucidate the role of PGs in Prx gene expression, BMMs of C57BL/6
mice were stimulated with conventional PGs, i.e., PGD2 (50 μM), PGE1
(50 μM), PGE2 (50 μM), PGF2α (50 μM); cyclopentenone PGs, i.e., PGA1
(50 μM), PGA2 (50 μM), 15d-PGJ2 (10 μM); or corresponding vehicle
(DMSO,methyl acetate). After 18 h of stimulation, nitritewasquantified
and mRNA expression of Prxs 1–6 was measured by qRT-PCR. In
agreement with Itoh et al. [13], gene expression of Prx 1 was
significantly increased by 15d-PGJ2, whereas Prx 2, 3, and 4 mRNA
levels were not changed or even decreased by PGs.Moreover, Prx 5was
slightly increased by PGE1, PGE2, and PGF2α. In contrast, Prx 6 was
enhanced by all PGs used in this study, most notably PGD2, PGE2, PGA1,
and 15d-PGJ2 (Fig. 1). Nitrite was not changed by any of the PGs (data
not shown), and PG-induced Prx 6 gene expression was not altered by
the iNOS inhibitor L-NIL (Supplementary Fig. 1), indicating that
induction of Prxs by PGs is NO-independent. These results imply that
in addition to the selective induction of Prx 1 gene expression by
15d-PGJ2, mRNA expression of Prx 5 is slightly enhanced by PGs of the E
and F classes, whereas Prx 6 transcription is strongly induced by various
PGs in primary murine macrophages.
Prx 6 mRNA expression is time- and dose-dependently regulated by
cyclopentenone prostaglandins PGA1, PGA2, and 15d-PGJ2
We then performed both dose–response and time-course exper-
iments on Prx 6 gene expression in response to cyclopentenone
prostaglandins. Therefore, BMMs were cultured for 18 h in the
presence of increasing concentrations of PGA1 (12.5–50 μM), PGA2
(12.5–50 μM), or 15d-PGJ2 (2.5–10 μM). As shown in Fig. 2, Prx 6
expression was induced at the mRNA level by concentrations of PGA1
and PGA2 in the range of 12.5–50 μMand 15d-PGJ2 in the range of 2.5–

revealed that gene expression of Prx 6 is maximally induced after 18 h
in response to PGA1 and 15d-PGJ2 and after 24 h in response to PGA2
(Figs. 2D–F).
PGD2 and PGE2 increase Prx 6 mRNA expression in a dose- and

In addition, we performed a dose- and time-dependent analysis of
Prx 6 mRNA expression after stimulation with conventional prosta-
glandins. BMMs were cultured for 18 h in the presence of increasing
concentrations (12.5–50 μM) of PGD2 or PGE2. As shown in Figs. 3A
and D, treatment with both PGs resulted in significantly higher Prx 6
mRNA levels, depending on the concentration used. A sixfold (PGD2)
or fourfold (PGE2) increase was reached with 50 μM corresponding

increased by PGE2 from 18 to 24 h (Fig. 3E). The following gene
expression experiments were conducted at 18 h after stimulation
with 50 μM PGD2 or PGE2.
To determine whether the Prx 6 mRNA induction in PGD2- and
PGE2-stimulated BMMs results in an enhanced protein amount, we
performed Western blot analyses. Protein expression of Prx 6 was
time-dependently increased in response to PGD2 with a maximum
after 12–18 h (Fig. 3C) and PGE2 with a maximum after 48 h (Fig. 3F).
