Circulating adiponectin concentrations are lower in association with obesity and insulin resistance, both of which are physiological conditions frequently accompanied by chronic increases in circulating interleukin-6 (IL-6) and(or) tumor necrosis factor-
(TNF
). Adiponectin suppresses activation of the nuclear factor kappa B (NFkB) transcription factor in aortic endothelial cells and porcine macrophages. We hypothesized that adiponectin acts as an anti-inflammatory hormone and suppresses the activation of NFkB, which culminates in increased cytokine production by adipocytes and other immune cells. Because PPAR
2 exerts anti-inflammatory actions and antagonizes the transcriptional activity of NFkB, we also determined if adiponectin alters PPAR
2 expression in pig adipocytes. Additionally, we determined whether interferon-
(IFN
) altered the expression of PPAR
2 adiponectin in the presence or absence of adiponectin. Primary pig adipocytes were recovered from subcutaneous adipose tissue, and incubated in the presence and absence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 10 µg/mL) and adiponectin (30 µg/mL), and nuclear extracts recovered for electrophoretic mobility shift assays to assess nuclear localization of NFkB. Whereas LPS caused a marked increase in nuclear NFkB, adiponectin attenuated the response, and also attenuated the induction of IL-6 expression by LPS (P < 0.05). We extended this work to 3T3-L1 adipocytes, and obtained similar results. Additionally, adiponectin antagonized the endotoxin-induced increase in TNF
mRNA expression (P < 0.05) and tended (P < 0.065) to diminish the accumulation of this cytokine in the culture media in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Incubation with adiponectin (30 µg/mL) resulted in a marked upregulation of PPAR
2 mRNA (P < 0.05) within 5 hours. Although IFN
did not reduce the basal expression of PPAR
2, it did suppress the induction of this PPAR
by adiponectin (P < 0.05). These data indicate that adiponectin is a local regulator of inflammation in the adipocyte and adipose tissue, and that the mechanism includes regulation of the NFkB transcription factor, and possibly an induction of PPAR
2.
