Interleukin 1 stimulates its own receptor expression on human fibroblasts through the endogenous production of prostaglandin(s).

Abstract

The regulation of interleukin 1 receptor (IL 1R) expression on human dermal fibroblasts was investigated. On exposure to IL 1 for 3 h at 37 degrees C, the capacity of fibroblasts to bind 125I-labeled human recombinant IL 1 alpha (125I-IL 1 alpha) was reduced by 75%. The IL 1 binding capability of the fibroblasts was restored to control levels by 16 h after removal of unbound IL 1, and then increased to about twofold over that of control cells by 48 h. This later enhancement of IL 1 receptor expression after IL 1 treatment was abolished by indomethacin. Addition of exogenous (PGE1 and PGE2, also analogues of AMP, or forskolin increased the specific binding of 125I-IL 1 alpha to fibroblasts. Scatchard analysis indicated that PGE2 increased the number of IL 1R from approximately 1.6 X 10(3) to 5.4 X 10(3) per cell without change in the binding affinity. These data suggest that the later IL 1-induced up-regulation of IL 1R is mediated by IL 1 stimulation of endogenous prostaglandin production. The combination of PGE2 and prednisolone increased the number of IL 1R on fibroblasts in an additive manner.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.

Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
