PGE2 INHIBITION OF HUMAN T LYMPHOCYTES PROLIFERATION : REGULATORY EFFECT OF PGE2 ON THE INTRA CELLULAR SIGNALING PATHWAYS

CNRS/IGR,

Villejuif,

INTRODUCTION PGE2, at physiological concentrations, induces a profound inhibition of T Lymphocytes proliferation after in vitro stimulation either with PHA or with monoclonal anti T3 antibodies(1). We have previously demonstrated that PGE2 inhibits the production and release of IL2(2). We have observed however, that supplementing these inhibited culures with exogenous IL2, did not fully restore the T cell response. Further experiments have indicated that the PGE2 mediated inhibition is associated with a parallel increase in intra cellular levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)(3). This observation led us to investigate the effect of PGE2 on the molecular events involved in the cellular activation process at the level of transmembrane signaling and induction of cytosolic second messengers. The phosphoinositol cascade is known to play a crucial role in lymphocyte activation(4). Elevation of cytosolic free calcium (Ca2+)i and protein kinase C activation are reactions which appear to mediate the response to extracellular ligands in lymphocytes(5). We have examined in the present study, the regulatory effect of PGE2 on T cell activation with respect to calcium mobilization and activation of PKC. Our results indicate that PGE2 immununosupressive effect involves predominantly inhibition of PKC. MATERIALS AND METHODS Peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes(PBL) were prepared from heparinized venous blood from normal healthy donors. The PBL were isolated by Ficoll-Hypaque density gradient centrifugation. Enriched T cell preparations were obtained by filtration of PBL through a nylon wool column as described earlier(3). Purity was about 95%.

T lymphocyte proliferation assays were with PHA (10ug/ml) or anti T3 antibodies (25 ng/ml). The tests were performed in microcultures in RPMI 1640 with 10% Human serum as previously described(3). Proliferation was evaluated by 3HTdr incorporation. IL2 activity in supernatants was evaluated using the murin IL2-dependent cytotoxic T cell line CTL-L2(6). IL2 receptor quantification was performed using anti Tac binding or indirect immunofluorescence for the low affinity sj£gs(7). I)IL2 binding was performed for determinatio^gf the ( number of tjigh affinity sites (specific affinity of I-IL2 was 7.5x10 dpm/pM and initial concentration in the assay was 200pM)(8) IL2 used in the experiments was highly purified human recombinant or natural IL2. Calcium mobilisation was studied by the 45 Ca2+ uptake method using CaC12 in the culture medium (luC/ML) and incubation of lymphocytes for 60mn at 37°. Intra cellular free Calcium (Ca2+)i was measured using the fluorescent indicator Quin2 as previously described (9). PHA was purchased from Wellcome or Difco (PHA-P). PGE2 was purchased from Upjohn Co, dissolved in ethanol at 10 mg/ml and kept at -70°. Dibutiryl cAMP (dBcAMP), Cholera toxin (CT), TPA and Isoproterenol (Iso) were obtained from Sigma. A23187 was purchased from Boehringer-Mannheim and Quin2 AM from Calbiochem.

RESULTS

PGE2 INHIBITION OF T LYMPHOCYTE PROLIFERATION AFTER IN VITRO STIMULATION Resting human T Lymphocytes were cultured in vitro in the presence of PHA or monoclonal antj^ T3 antibodies and increasing concentrations of PGE2 (10 to 10 M). In both system T cell proliferation was inhibited in a dose dependent manner (table 1). Addition of exogenous IL2 did not fully restore the lymphocyte proliferation in PGE2 treated cultures compared with untreated cultures.

29

Addition to the culture of TPA, at a concentration which by itself does not stimulate resting T cells, overcome the PGE2 induced inhibitory effect on T lymphocyte proliferation, suggesting a probable interference of PGE2 with PKC activation. ANTI T3 ng/ml 0 25 25 25

EFFECT OF PGE2 ON INTRA CELLULAR CALCIUM MOBILIZATION The effects of PGE2 on Ca 2+ flux and intra cellular Ca 2+ mobilization in PHA stimulated lymphocytes were examined. As shown on table 2, PHA stimulation of T lymphocytes resulted in a marked calcium influx measured by 45 Ca 2+ uptake. Addition of PGE2 (10 M) resulted in a decreased 45 Ca2+ uptake. Control experiments indicate that PGE2 does not affect the calcium influx mediated by calcium ionophore A23187. EFFECT

Intra cellular free calcium was studied using the fluorescent indicator Quin2. As shown on figure 1 the addition of PHA on T lymphocyte increase the intra cellular free calcium to 172 nM within 2 minutes. In contrast, preincubation of T lymphocytes with PGE2 prior to PHA stimulation, resulted in a lower level in free Ca2+ (126 nM). PGE2 EFFECT ON EXPRESSION OF HIGH AFFINITY IL2 RECEPTOR EXPRESSION Previous experiments (not shoyn) have indicated that PGE2 do not affect expression of Tac antigen. However, IL2 receptors with markedly different affinities for IL2 have been described and there are a number of evidence indicating that only the high affinity receptors are involved in the proliferation process. We examined high affinity binding sites on anti T3 stimulated cells (range 3500-5500 sites per cell on 3 experiments) (figure 2). When PGE2 was added to the culture, this number of receptors was on average, reduced by 80 % . In the presence of TPA, however, the density of IL2 high affinity sites was not diminished by PGE2.
