Background.
Nonbacterial prostatitis has no established etiology.
We hypothesized that proteinase-activated receptor-1 (PAR1) can play a role in prostatitis.
We therefore investigated the effects of PAR1 stimulation in the context of a new model of murine nonbacterial prostatitis.
Methods.
Using a hapten (ethanol-dinitrobenzene sulfonic acid- (DNBS-)) induced prostatitis model with both wild-type and PAR1-null mice, we examined (1) the location of PAR1 in the mouse prostate and (2) the impact of a PAR1-activating peptide (TFLLR-NH2: PAR1-TF) on ethanol-DNBS-induced inflammation.
Results.
Ethanol-DNBS-induced inflammation was maximal at 2 days.
In the tissue, PAR1 was expressed predominantly along the apical acini of prostatic epithelium.
Although PAR1-TF on its own did not cause inflammation, its coadministration with ethanol-DNBS reduced all indices of acute prostatitis.
Further, PAR1-TF administration doubled the prostatic production of interleukin-10 (IL-10) compared with ethanol-DNBS treatment alone.
This enhanced IL-10 was not observed in PAR1-null mice and was not caused by the reverse-sequence receptor-inactive peptide, RLLFT-NH2.
Surprisingly, PAR1-TF, also diminished ethanol-DNBS-induced inflammation in PAR1-null mice.
Conclusions.
PAR1 is expressed in the mouse prostate and its activation by PAR1-TF elicits immunomodulatory effects during ethanol-DNBS-induced prostatitis.
However, PAR1-TF also diminishes ethanol-DNBS-induced inflammation via a non-PAR1 mechanism by activating an as-yet unknown receptor.
