Prostaglandin E2 promotes human CD34+ cells homing through EP2 and EP4 in vitro

چکیده
Recently, certain studies have demonstrated in vitro that prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) promotes human cluster of differentiation (CD)34+ cell homing. However, the sub‑type receptors activated by PGE2 are unknown, as the PGE2 receptor EP1-4 subtypes (EP1-4) are expressed on the membrane of human CD34+ cells. Based on the above, the present study aimed to screen the receptor subtype activity by PGE2 to promote human CD34+ cell homing. It was observed that human CD34+ cells expressed the four PGE2 sub‑receptors, particularly EP2 and 4. PGE2 increased EP2 and 4 mRNA expression significantly, while EP1 and 3 mRNA exhibited no significant alteration. PGE2, EP2 agonist (EP2A), and EP4A upregulated C‑X‑C chemokine receptor 4 mRNA and protein expression in human CD34+ cells, and promoted stromal cell‑derived factor 1α (SDF‑1α) expression in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs). These phenomena were inhibited by the associated receptor antagonists. PGE2, EP2A, and EP4A facilitated human CD34+ cell migration towards SDF‑1α and BMMSCs. The results of the present study suggested that PGE2 promoted human CD34+ cell homing through EP2 and 4 receptors in vitro.

Prostaglandin E2 regulates Th17 cell differentiation and function through cyclic AMP and EP2/EP4 receptor signaling
Prostaglandins, particularly prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), play an important role during inflammation. This is exemplified by the clinical use of cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitors, which interfere with PGE2 synthesis, as effective antiinflammatory drugs. Here, we show that PGE2 directly promotes differentiation and proinflammatory functions of human and murine IL-17-producing T helper (Th17) cells. In hum...

The pro-inflammatory chemokine CCL2 [chemokine (Cys-Cys motif) ligand 2; also known as MCP-1 (monocyte chemotactic protein-1)] is up-regulated in the glomerular compartment during the early phase of LPS (lipopolysaccharide)-induced nephritis. This up-regulation also occurs in cultured MCs (mesangial cells) and is more pronounced in MCs lacking the PGE2 (prostaglandin E2) receptor EP2 or in MCs ...
متن کاملDifferential regulation of phosphorylation of the cAMP response element-binding protein after activation of EP2 and EP4 prostanoid receptors by prostaglandin E2.
The EP2 and EP4 prostanoid receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors whose activation by their endogenous ligand, prostaglandin (PG) E2, stimulates the formation of intracellular cAMP. We have previously reported that the stimulation of cAMP formation in EP4-expressing cells is significantly less than in EP2-expressing cells, despite nearly identical levels of receptor expression (J Biol Chem 2...

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) plays an important role in bone development and metabolism. To interfere therapeutically in the PGE2 pathway, however, knowledge about the involved enzymes (cyclooxygenases) and receptors (PGE2 receptors) is essential. We therefore examined the production of PGE2 in cultured growth plate chondrocytes in vitro and the effects of exogenously added PGE2 on cell proliferatio...
