title: Interleukin-1 up-regulates transcription of its own receptor in a human fibroblast cell line TIG-1: role of endogenous PGE2 and cAMP.
abstract: The regulation of interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) mRNA expression by IL-1 in a human lung fibroblast cell line (TIG-1) was investigated. After 2 h of stimulation with human recombinant IL-1 alpha or IL-1 beta, the levels of T cell/fibroblast-type IL-1R mRNA increased, and the elevation was sustained for at least 72 h. IL-1 also stimulated synthesis of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and secondary cAMP accumulation. Exogenously added PGE2 increased the levels of both IL-1R mRNA and intracellular cAMP. Forskolin, cholera toxin and 8-Bromo adenosine (8-Br-cAMP) all increased IL-1R mRNA levels. Indomethacin blocked IL-1 stimulation of IL-1R mRNA expression, PGE2 production and cAMP. 125I-labeled IL-1 alpha-binding studies showed that this cell line expresses 2.6 x 10(4) IL-1R per cell with a Kd of 5.1 x 10(-10) M. After treatment of the cells with IL-1, the level of IL-1R increased over that of control cells. PGE2 also increased IL-1R without alteration in its affinity. Cross-linking experiments indicate that this cell line expresses the 80-kDa receptor molecule before and after treatment with PGE2; the molecular mass corresponds to the T cell/fibroblast type I IL-1R. These results indicate that IL-1 does not directly stimulate expression of IL-1R mRNA or cell surface IL-1R, but only indirectly by stimulation of endogenous PGE2.
