Prostaglandin E2 production is synergistically increased in cultured human glomerular mesangial cells by combinations of IL-1 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha 1

Both IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha induced a time- and dose- dependent release of authentic PGE2 from cultured human glomerular mesangial cells (HMC). This release became significant only after a 4- to 6-h lag phase, and was abolished by inhibition of protein synthesis, and was not related to cell proliferation. Combinations of IL-1 and TNF- alpha when added simultaneously to HMC resulted in a dose-dependent synergistic increase in PGE2 production. These stimulatory effects were specifically inhibited by anticytokine antibodies and the synergistic effect required the simultaneous presence of both IL-1 and TNF-alpha. Arachidonic acid (AA) release experiments and measurement of cyclooxygenase activity, revealed that while both were increased by IL- 1 beta and TNF-alpha alone (IL-1 beta greater than TNF-alpha), combinations of IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha resulted in only additive increases in AA release and cyclooxygenase activity. Taken together, these data suggest that stimulation of PGE2 in HMC, by combinations of these cytokines, is not rate limited by AA release or cyclooxygenase activation, but may be related to the induction of the distal enzymes controlling specific PG synthesis.
