N2 - We previously reported that prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) stimulates heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) induction through p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK)/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p44/p42 MAP kinase in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. In the present study, we investigated whether (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the major polyphenol found in green tea, affects the induction of HSP27 in these cells and the mechanism. EGCG significantly reduced the HSP27 induction stimulated by PGD2 without affecting the levels of HSP70. The PGD2-induced phosphorylation of p38 MAP kinase or SAPK/JNK was not affected by EGCG. On the contrary, EGCG markedly suppressed the PGD2-induced phosphorylation of p44/p42 MAP kinase and MEK1/2. However, the PGD2-induced phosphorylation of Raf-1 was not inhibited by EGCG. These results strongly suggest that EGCG suppresses the PGD2-stimulated induction of HSP27 at the point between Raf-1 and MEK1/2 in osteoblasts.
