摘要
Cyclooxygenase-2 is required for activated pancreatic stellate cells to respond to proinflammatory cytokines. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 292: C259-C268, 2007. First published July 12, 2006; doi:10.1152/ajpcell.00030.2006.-Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) mediates various inflammatory responses and is expressed in pancreatic tissue from patients with chronic pancreatitis. To examine the role of COX-2 in chronic pancreatitis, we investigated its participation in regulating functions of pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs), using isolated rat PSCs. COX-2 was expressed in culture-activated PSCs but not in freshly isolated quiescent PSCs. TGF-beta 1, IL-beta, and IL-6 enhanced COX-2 expression in activated PSCs, concomitantly increasing the expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA), a parameter of PSC activation. The COX-2 inhibitor NS-398 blocked culture activation of freshly isolated quiescent PSCs. NS-398 also inhibited the enhancement of alpha-SMA expression by TGF-beta 1, IL-1 beta, and IL-6 in activated PSCs. These data indicate that COX-2 is required for the initiation and promotion of PSC activation. We further investigated the mechanism by which cytokines enhance COX-2 expression in PSCs. Adenovirus-mediated expression of dominant negative Smad2/3 inhibited the increase in expression of COX-2, alpha-SMA, and collagen-1 mediated by TGF-beta 1 in activated PSCs. Moreover, dominant negative Smad2/3 expression attenuated the expression of COX-2 and alpha-SMA enhanced by IL-1 beta and IL-6. Anti-TGF-beta neutralizing antibody also attenuated the increase in COX- 2 and alpha-SMA expression caused by IL-1 beta and IL-6. IL-6 as well as IL-1 beta enhanced TGF-beta 1 secretion from PSCs. These data indicate that Smad2/3-dependent pathway plays a central role in COX-2 induction by TGF-beta 1, IL-1 beta , and IL-6. Furthermore, IL-1 beta and IL- 6 promote PSC activation by enhancing COX- 2 expression indirectly through Smad2/3-dependent pathway by increasing TGF-beta 1 secretion from PSCs.
