Activated CD4+ cells up-regulated FPR2/ALX receptor, but not BLT1 receptor mRNA in human macrophages.
IFN-γ and supernatants from activated CD4+ cells up-regulated FPR2/ALX mRNA and protein levels in THP-1 cells.
FPR2/ALX receptor up-regulation in monocytes and THP-1 cells was mainly intracellular.
LXA4 reduced mRNA levels of pro inflammatory mediators in THP-1 cells.
This differential regulation of expression for lipid mediator receptor in macrophages may be of importance in lymphocyte-driven inflammation.
