title: Induction of both cytosolic phospholipase A2 and prostaglandin H synthase-2 by interleukin-1 beta in WISH cells in inhibited by dexamethasone.
abstract: In previous studies we have shown that IL-1 beta induced both PGE2 release and total cellular cPLA2 activity and cPLA2 protein synthesis in human amnion-derived WISH cells. In this study, the effect of IL-1 beta on cPLA2 and PGHS-2 mRNA expression was investigated. Using RT-PCR, we found that IL-1 beta (0.1 ng/ml) coordinately induced both cPLA2 and PGHS-2 mRNA expression within 2 hours. The synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (10(-10)-10(-6)M) inhibited IL-1 beta-induced cPLA2 and PGHS-2 mRNA expression activity and protein synthesis and PGE2 release in a concentration dependent manner. In the absence of IL-1 beta, dexamethasone alone (10(-6)M) inhibited basal cPLA2 activity, mRNA expression and protein synthesis. In addition, cycloheximide (5 micrograms/ml) apparently superinduced, but actinomycin D (2 micrograms/ml) inhibited IL-1 beta-induced cPLA2 and PGHS-2 mRNA expression suggesting that both are immediate early genes and a transcriptional mechanism is involved in the induction of both cPLA2 and PGHS-2 mRNA by IL-1 beta.
