Previous studies have suggested that stearoyl lysophosphatidlycholine (LPC) protects against lethal experimental sepsis by inhibiting lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced extracellular release of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1). However, limited information exists on the mechanism by which stearoyl-LPC suppresses the extracellular release of HMGB1 in monocyte/macrophages stimulated with LPS. In this study, we found that stearoyl-LPC increased the phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in macrophages. Exposure of LPS-stimulated macrophages to stearoyl-LPC decreased the extracellular release of HMGB1 in peritoneal macrophages, which were inhibited by the AMPK inhibitor, compound C. In addition, stearoyl-LPC-mediated suppression of HMGB1 release was abolished by siRNA-mediated knock-down of AMPKα1. Stearoyl-LPC increased the phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), a downstream target of activated AMPK, in mice lungs and decreased HMGB1 levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids in mice administered LPS. These results reveal a novel mechanism by which stearoyl-LPC regulates LPS-mediated cellular translocation of HMGB1.
