Liver X receptors (LXRs) play an important role in lipid metabolism. Recently, a role for these proteins was identified in suppressing the inflammatory response. However, it is not known whether the natural ligands of LXRs, e.g. 22(R)-hydroxycholesterol (22R-HC), can suppress the inflammatory response after the onset of inflammation. We demonstrate here that treatment of Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW264.7 macrophages with 22R-HC markedly suppressed nitric oxide (NO) production and inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) mRNA expression. Additionally, 22R-HC did not affect the DNA binding activity of NF-κB, AP-1 and C/EBP(s), important transcriptional factors for iNOS and COX-2 genes expression. Furthermore iNOS and COX-2 mRNA suppression by 22R-HC was diminished by cellular treatment with cycloheximide. These results suggest that 22R-HC suppresses the expression of iNOS and COX-2 genes through de novo protein synthesis of an unidentified protein in LPS-activated macrophages. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
