Abstract
Unstimulated mononuclear cells express IGF-1, PDGF-A and PDGF-B mRNA, but not a number of other genes coding for growth factors or cytokines, as we demonstrated previously. The main focus of the present investigation was to compare gene expression of mononuclear cells unstimulated in suspension with gene expression of monocytes stimulated by adherence. mRNA levels of IGF-1-A and -B, PDGF-A, -B, PD-ECGF, basic FGF, acidic FGF, TGF-alpha, TGF-beta 1, and IGF-2 were sought for and quantified with our sensitive RT-PCR method (3n-PCR). The respective mRNAs of basic FGF, acidic FGF, TGF-alpha and IGF-2 were not detected, independent of the culture conditions. In suspension culture, mRNA levels of IGF-1A and -B, PDGF-A, -B, and CD18 remained unchanged. Monocyte adherence regulated IGF-1A, PDGF-A, and -B mRNA levels. In parallel, mRNA levels of the monocyte adhesion molecule CD18 increased rapidly (4.5-fold). In contrast, independent of the presence of an adherence stimulus, the mRNAs for the cytoskeletal structure protein beta-actin and PD-ECGF remained constant, whereas mRNA for growth factors TGF-beta 1 and IGF-1B, respectively, was increased. Thus, monocyte adherence selectively regulates IGF-1, PDGF-A, PDGF-B and CD18 mRNAs (adher...Continue Reading
