- Adiponectin limited the release of MPs from LPS-treated monocytes.
- Adiponectin attenuated LPS-induced MP expression of NLRP3 inflammasome.
- Adiponectin reduced mono-MP-evoked VCAM-1 expression and leukocyte-EC adhesion.
- Adiponectin regulates MP release in part via the AMPK, Akt and NFκB pathways.
ObjectiveMonocyte-derived microparticles (mono-MPs) are emerging as critical transducers of inflammatory signals, and have been suggested to link cardiovascular risk factors to vascular injury. Since adiponectin has been proposed to exert multiple anti-inflammatory and vasculoprotective effects, we hypothesized that it might serve to limit the production and/or action of mono-MPs.MethodsFlow cytometry and western blot studies were conducted on THP-1 cells, THP-1-derived MPs, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), peripheral blood CD14+ monocytes and mice to evaluate the effects of adiponectin on mono-MPs.ResultsAdiponectin attenuated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-evoked MP release from THP-1 monocytes (30% difference) and peripheral blood monocytes (both P < 0.05) as well as dampened LPS-induced mono-MP generation in vivo. Furthermore, peritoneal monocytes from Adipoqâ/â mice generated significantly greater MPs than those from Adipoq+/+ littermates in the absence (2.3 fold difference, P < 0.05) and presence (1.6 fold difference, P < 0.05) of LPS. LPS-induced MP expression of NLRP3 inflammasome and its key components, namely cleaved ASC, caspase-1 and IL-1β (pro- and cleaved), were markedly attenuated by adiponectin. HUVECs incubated with MPs from LPS-treated THP-1 cells exhibited increased VCAM-1 levels and adhesion to THP-1 cells. Adiponectin abrogated these effects. From a mechanistic standpoint, the effects of adiponectin on MP release and molecular signaling occurred at least in part through the AMPK, Akt and NFκB pathways.ConclusionAdiponectin exerts novel effects to limit the production and action of mono-MPs, underscoring yet another pleiotropic effect of this adipokine.
