PG - 248-260 AB - Prostaglandin (PG) E(2) plays critical roles during pregnancy and parturition. Emerging evidence indicates that human labour is an inflammatory event. We sought to investigate the effect of PGE(2) on the output of proinflammatory cytokines in cultured human uterine smooth muscle cells (HUSMCs) from term pregnant women and elucidate the role of subtypes of PGE(2) receptors (EP(1), EP(2), EP(3) and EP(4)). After drug treatment and/or transfection of each receptor siRNA, the concentrations of inflammatory secreting factors in HUSMCs culture medium were detected by the corresponding ELISA kits. The results showed that, PGE(2) increased interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) output, decreased chemokine (c-x-c motif) ligand 8 (CXCL8) output in a dose-dependent manner, but had no effect on IL-1beta and chemokine (c-c motif) ligand 2 (CCL-2) secretion of HUSMCs. EP(1)/EP(3) agonist 17-phenyl-trinor-PGE(2) stimulated IL-6 and TNFalpha whilst suppressing IL-1beta and CXCL8 output. The effects of 17-phenyl-trinor-PGE(2) on IL-1beta and CXCL8 secretion were remained whereas its effect on IL-6 and TNFalpha output did not occur in the cells with EP(3) knockdown. The stimulatory effects of 17-phenyl-trinor-PGE(2) on IL-6 and TNFalpha were remained whereas the inhibitory effects of 17-phenyl-trinor-PGE(2) on IL-1beta secretion was blocked in the cells with EP(1) knockdown. Either of EP(2) and EP(4) agonists stimulated IL-1beta and TNFalpha output, which was reversed by EP(2) and EP(4) siRNA, respectively. The inhibitors of phospholipase C (PLC) and protein kinase C (PKC) blocked EP(1)/EP(3) modulation of TNFalpha and CXCL8 output. PI3K inhibitor LY294002 and P38 inhibitor SB202190 blocked 17-phenyl-trinor-PGE(2)-induced IL-1beta and IL-6 output, respectively. The inhibitors of adenylyl cyclase and PKA prevented EP(2) and EP(4) stimulation of IL-1beta and TNFalpha output, whereas PLC and PKC inhibitors blocked EP(2)- and EP(4)-induced TNFalpha output but not IL-1beta output. Our data suggest that PGE(2) receptors exhibit different effects on the output of various cytokines in myometrium, which can subtly modulate the inflammatory microenvironment in myometrium during pregnancy.
