Beta-adrenergic-induced CD40 overexpression on gingival fibroblasts: role of PGE2

Cell Biology International

Abstract

CD40, a member of the tumour necrosis factor-alpha receptor family, is constitutively expressed by cells of haematopoietic and non-haematopoietic origin, including fibroblasts. Signalling through this receptor molecule regulates inflammatory mediator secretion by many cell types. The work has been performed in healthy subjects and the authors studied, by cellular culture, flow cytometric analysis and ELISA assay, the expression of CD40 and PGE2 (prostaglandin E2) generation on gingival fibroblasts stimulated by beta-AR (beta-adrenoceptor) agonists. Herein, the authors demonstrate that beta-AR subtype activation via their own specific agonists markedly increased CD40 expression on human gingival fibroblasts. This effect was prevented by beta-AR subtype-specific antagonists. In addition, gingival fibroblast beta-AR stimulation resulted in an increase in PGE2 generation. The inhibition of PLA2 (phospholipase A2) and COX-1 (cyclo-oxygenase-1) but not COX-2 impaired beta-AR increase of PGE2, an effect that was restored by the addition of low concentrations of PGE2, suggesting that PGE2 generation is implicated in the mechanism underlying beta-AR-agonist-mediated CD40 overexpression. Our work has revealed an endogenous beta-AR mediat...Continue Reading

Adrenergic Receptors: Trafficking

Adrenergic receptor trafficking is an active physiological process where adrenergic receptors are relocated from one region of the cell to another or from one type of cell to another. Discover the latest research on adrenergic receptor trafficking here.
