Abstract

Our previous study showed that lungs infected by Pseudomonas, a gram-negative bacteria, produce prostaglandin $D_2$ ($PGD_2$) and prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$), the two major prostanoids generated by cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and that the ratio of $PGD_2$ and $PGE_2$ can affect the outcome of the bacterial lung infection. In this study, we sought to uncover the mechanism that determines the ratio of $PGD_2$ and $PGE_2$ produced in lung inflammation. When treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), primary alveolar macrophages, extracted from mouse lung, more $PGE_2$ was produced than $PGD_2$, whereas MH-S, a murine alveolar macrophage cell line, produced more $PGD_2$ than $PGE_2$ in a similar experiment. Western blot analyses showed that the kinetics of COX-2 expression in both cell types is similar and epigenetic silencing of COX-2 expression did not affect expressions of lipocalin-PGD synthase (L-PGDS) and PGE synthase (mPGES-1), major enzymes synthesizing $PGD_2$ and $PGE_2$ in inflammation, respectively, indicating no effect of COX-2 on expressions of the two enzymes. Expressions of L-PGDS and mPGES-1 were also similar in both cell types, suggesting no effect of the two key enzymes in determining the ratio of $PGD_2$ and $PGE_2$ in these cells. A single intraperitoneal injection of LPS to C57BL/6 mice induced COX-2 expression and, similar to alveolar macrophages, produced more $PGE_2$ than $PGD_2$ in the lung. These results suggest that the differential expressions of $PGD_2$ and $PGE_2$ in the lung reflect those in alveolar macrophages and may not be directly determined by the enzymes responsible for $PGD_2$ and $PGE_2$ synthesis.

프로스타글란딘 D2 (PGD2)와 E2 (PGE2)는 COX-2로부터 유래되는 주요 프로스타노이드로서, 슈도모나스에 의한 폐감염이 발생하였을 경우 폐에서 합성되어 슈도모나스 세균감염을 조절할 수 있음을 밝힌바 있음. 본 연구에서는 두 프로스타노이드의 생성 비율을 조절하는 기전을 연구하고자함. 마크로파아지에 의해 PGD2/PGE2 비율이 결정되는 지 조사하기 위해, 마우스의 허파로부터 마크로파아지를 분리하고 LPS로 처리할 경우, COX-2, PGD2합성 효소인 L-PGDS, PGE2의 합성효소인 mPGES-1 등의 발현이 두 프로스타노이드의 생성 비율에 미치는 영향을 조사하였음. 또한 이 효소들의 발현이 일차 허파 마크로파아지에 특이적인지의 여부를 조사하기 위해, 허파 마트로파이지 세포주인 MH-S와 비교 조사하였음. COX-2가 프로스타글린딘 비율에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해, COX-2 특이적 siRNA릉 이용하여 COX-2의 발현을 억제하고 L-PGDS, mPGES-1 등의 발현을 조사하였음. 결과에 따르면, 일차 허파 마트로파아지는 MH-S과는 달리 많은 양의 PGE2를 생성하나, 두 세포간 COX-2, L-PGDS, mPGES-1의 발현에는 큰 차이가 없었음. 이는 이들 효소 외에 다른 인자들이 두 프로스타노이드의 비율을 결정하는데 관여함을 제시함. LPS의 처리에 의해 폐염증을 발생시키고 허파에서의 PGD2/PGE2 비율을 조사한 결과, LPS에 의해 폐염증이 발생할 경우 LPS를 처리한 일차 허파 마크로파아지와 유사하게 PGE2의 발현이 PGD2에 비해 상당히 높았음. 결과적으로 본 연구의 결과는, 허파에서의 PGD2/PGE2 비율은, COX-2, L-PGDS, mPGES-1 등 PGD2나 PGE2의 합성에 직접적인 영향을 주는 효소에 의해 결정되지 않으며, 허파마크로파아지의 PGD2/PGE2 비율을 반영할 가능성을 제시함.
