We tested the impact of CD40 engagement on the production of
vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) from rheumatoid synovial
fibroblasts. Fibroblast-like synovial cells (FLS) were prepared from
the synovial tissues of rheumatoid arthritis patients and cultured in
the presence of CD40 ligand-transfected (CD40L+) L cells.
VEGF levels were determined in the culture supernatants by ELISA.
Stimulation of FLS by CD40L+ L cells increased the
production of VEGF by 4.1-fold over the constitutive levels of
unstimulated FLS. The CD40L on activated T cells from rheumatoid
synovial fluid also up-regulated VEGF production from FLS. Neither
indomethacin nor Abs to IL-1ß, TNF-
, and TGF-ß did affect
CD40L-induced VEGF production. Stimulation of FLS with TNF-,
IL-1ß, and TGF-ß increased VEGF production by 1.6-, 2.0-, and
5.2-fold, respectively, and displayed an additive effect on the
production of VEGF by CD40L. VEGF mRNA expression was also up-regulated
by the stimulation of FLS with membranes from the CD40L+ L
cells. Dexamethasone completely abrogated CD40L-induced VEGF
production. In addition, pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate partially
down-regulated CD40L-induced VEGF production, showing that the NF-
B
pathway was partly involved in the signaling of CD40L leading to VEGF
production. Collectively, these results suggest that the interaction
between CD40 on synovial fibroblasts and CD40L expressed on activated T
lymphocytes may be directly involved in the neovascularization in
rheumatoid synovitis by enhancing the production of
VEGF.
