The effect of cyclosporin A (CsA) on prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production in human gingival fibroblasts challenged with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) was studied. TNF-alpha (1-100 ng/ml) dose-dependently stimulated PGE2 formation in 24 h cultures. CsA (1-100 ng/ml) did not induce PGE2 formation itself but potentiated TNF-alpha induced PGE2 formation in gingival fibroblasts in a manner dependent on the concentrations of both CsA and TNF-alpha. TNF-alpha (10 ng/ml) stimulated the release of [3H]-arachidonic acid (AA) from prelabelled fibroblasts that was potentiated by CsA (100 ng/ml). Addition of exogenous unlabelled AA (5-20 microM/ml) to the cells resulted in enhanced PGE2 formation that was not potentiated by CsA (100 ng/ml). Furthermore, CsA (100 ng/ml) did not further increase the level of cyclooxygenase-2 mRNA induced by TNF-alpha (10 ng/ml), although PGE2 formation was enhanced. The results indicate that CsA and TNF-alpha act in concert on PGE2 formation in gingival fibroblasts, which may be of importance in the pathogenesis of gingival overgrowth induced by the drug.
研究了环孢素A(CsA)对用肿瘤坏死因子α(TNF-α)刺激的人牙龈成纤维细胞中前列腺素E2(PGE2)产生的影响。TNF-α(1-100 ng/ml)在24小时培养中剂量依赖性地刺激PGE2形成。CsA(1-100 ng/ml)本身不诱导PGE2形成,但以依赖于CsA和TNF-α浓度的方式增强TNF-α诱导的牙龈成纤维细胞中PGE2的形成。TNF-α(10 ng/ml)刺激预先标记的成纤维细胞释放[3H]-花生四烯酸(AA),这被CsA(100 ng/ml)增强。向细胞中添加外源性未标记的AA(5-20 microM/ml)导致PGE2形成增强,但未被CsA(100 ng/ml)增强。此外,尽管PGE2形成增强,但CsA(100 ng/ml)并未进一步增加由TNF-α(10 ng/ml)诱导的环氧合酶-2 mRNA水平。结果表明,CsA和TNF-α协同作用于牙龈成纤维细胞中PGE2的形成,这可能在该药物诱导的牙龈过度生长的发病机制中具有重要意义。
