Abstrakt: Background and Purpose IL-33 signals through ST2 receptors and induces adaptive and innate inflammation. IL-33/ ST2 is involved in adaptive inflammation-induced pain. Here, we have investigated the contribution of IL-33/ ST2-triggered mechanisms to carrageenin-induced innate inflammation. Experimental Approach Carrageenin- and IL-33-induced inflammatory responses were assessed in BALB/c- ( WT) and ST2-deficient (−/−) mice as follows: oedema (plethysmometer), myeloperoxidase activity (colorimetric assay), mechanical hyperalgesia (electronic version of von Frey filaments), cytokine levels ( ELISA), PGE2 ( RIA), mRNA expression (quantitative PCR), drug treatments targeting leukocyte recruitment (fucoidin), TNF-α (infliximab), CXCL1 (antibody to CXCL1), IL-1 ( IL-1ra), endothelin ETA (clazosentan) and ETB ( BQ788) receptors and COX (indomethacin). Key Results Carrageenin injection increased ST2 and IL-33 mRNA expression and IL-33 production in paw skin samples. Carrageenin-induced paw oedema, hyperalgesia and myeloperoxidase activity were reduced in ST2−/− compared with WT mice, effects mimicked by IL-33 injection in the paw. Furthermore, IL-33-induced hyperalgesia was reduced by fucoidin suggesting a role for recruited leukocytes in its hyperalgesic effect. IL-33-induced hyperalgesia in naïve mice was reduced by treatments targeting TNF, CXCL1, IL-1, endothelin receptors and COX while carrageenin-induced ST2-dependent TNF-α, CXCL1, IL-1 β, IL-10 and PGE2 production and prepro ET-1 mRNA expression. Combining IL-33 and carrageenin at doses that were ineffective as single treatment induced significant hyperalgesia, oedema, myeloperoxidase activity and cytokine production in a ST2-dependent manner. Conclusions and Implications IL-33/ ST2 signalling triggers the production of inflammatory mediators contributing to carrageenin-induced inflammation. These data reinforces the importance of IL-33/ ST2 signalling as a target in innate inflammation and inflammatory pain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
