Regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 expression in normal human articular chondrocytes

This study analyzes cyclooxygenase II (COX-2) gene expression, protein synthesis, and PGE2 release in normal human articular chondrocytes. Stimulation of chondrocytes in primary culture resulted in a dose- dependent induction of COX-2 mRNA in response to IL-1 with an ED50 between 0.1 and 1 ng/ml. COX-2 mRNA was detectable after 2 h, reached high levels at 6 h, and showed a remarkably long duration of expression for at least 72 h. Analysis of other extracellular stimuli showed that COX-2 mRNA was inducible by other cytokines including TNF-alpha, IL-6, and LIF and by bacterial LPS. Dexamethasone completely inhibited IL-1- induced COX-2 mRNA expression. Analysis of signaling pathways showed that PMA and calcium ionophore A23187, but not dibutyryl cAMP, induced COX-2 mRNA. The combination of IL-1 and A23187 resulted in synergistic increases. IL-1 effects were not reduced by the protein kinase C inhibitor staurosporine or by the protein kinase A inhibitor H89 but blocked by the protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A. COX-2 protein was detected at 71 kDa by Western blotting in IL-1-stimulated, and to almost similar levels in A23187-treated, cells. Flow cytometric analysis showed that after IL-1 stimulation 78% of the chondrocytes expressed COX-2 protein. The patterns of COX-2 protein expression and the levels of PGE2 release correlated with the effects of the different stimuli and inhibitors on mRNA expression.
