PGE2 reduces MMP-14 and increases plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 in cardiac fibroblasts.
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is elevated during cardiac injury and we have previously shown that mice lacking the PGE2 EP4 receptor display dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) with increased expression of the membrane type matrix metalloproteinase, MMP-14. We thus hypothesized that PGE2 regulates expression of MMP-14 and also affects fibroblast migration. Primary cultures of neonatal rat ventricular fibroblasts (NVFs) were used to test the effects of PGE2. Gene and protein expression was assessed by real time RT-PCR and Western blot, MMP activity was determined by zymography and migration of NVF was assessed by motility in a transwell system. PGE2 reduced expression of MMP-14 and these effects were antagonized by an EP4 antagonist. An EP4 agonist mimicked the effect of PGE2. PGE2 also increased mRNA and protein levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), an inhibitor of MMP activation. However, PGE2-stimulation of PAI-1 was mediated by the EP1/EP3 receptor and not EP4. Migration of NVF was assessed by motility in a transwell system. Treatment of NVFs with PGE2 reduced the number of cells migrating toward 10% FCS. Treatment with the EP2 agonist also reduced migration but did not affect MMP-14 expression or PAI-1. Our results suggest that PGE2 utilizes different receptors and mechanisms to ultimately decrease MMP expression and NVF migration.

Differential reactivity of human mammary artery and saphenous vein to prostaglandin E(2) : implication for cardiovascular grafts.
Human internal mammary arteries (IMA) and saphenous veins (SV) are frequently used for coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Intra- and postoperatively, the bypass grafts are exposed to inflammatory conditions, under which there is a striking increase in the synthesis of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2) ). In this context, the physiological response of these vascular grafts to PGE(2) is highly relevant. The aim of this study was thus to characterize the PGE(2) receptor subtypes (EP(1) , EP(2) , EP(3) or EP(4) ) involved in modulation of the vascular tone in these two vessels.. Rings of IMA and SV were prepared from 48 patients. The rings were mounted in organ baths for isometric recording of tension, and a pharmacological study was performed, together with associated reverse transcriptase PCR and immunohistochemistry experiments.. PGE(2) induced contractions of IMA (E(max) = 1.43 ± 0.20 g; pEC(50) = 7.50 ± 0.10); contractions were also observed with the EP(3) receptor agonists, sulprostone, 17-phenyl-PGE(2) , misoprostol or ONO-AE-248. In contrast, PGE(2) induced relaxation of the precontracted SV (E(max) =-0.22 ± 0.02 g; pEC(50) = 7.14 ± 0.09), as did the EP(4) receptor agonist, ONO-AE1-329. These results were confirmed by the use of selective EP receptor antagonists (GW627368X, L-826266, ONO-8713, SC-51322) and by molecular biology and immunostaining.. PGE(2) induced potent and opposite effects on the human vascular segments used for grafting, namely vasoconstriction of the IMA and vasodilatation of the SV via EP(3) and EP(4) receptors respectively. These observations suggest that EP(3) and EP(4) receptors could constitute therapeutic targets to increase vascular graft patency.

Lack of interaction between prostaglandin E2 receptor subtypes in regulating adenylyl cyclase activity in cultured rat dorsal root ganglion cells.
The hyperalgesic response to prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is thought to be mediated by activation of the cAMP/protein kinase A pathway in primary sensory neurones. The aim of this study was to investigate the relative contribution of different PGE2 (EP) receptor subtypes to the overall activity of adenylyl cyclase in adult rat isolated dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells, in vitro. PGE2 and the prostanoid EP4 receptor agonist ONO-AE1-329 increased [3H]cAMP production with EC50 values of 500 nM and 70 nM, respectively, and showed similar efficacies. No combination of prostanoid EP1, EP2, EP3 or EP4 receptor selective agonists produced synergistic increases in [3H]cAMP. The prostacyclin mimetic cicaprost increased [3H]cAMP production with an EC50 value of 42 nM and produced a significantly greater maximal response compared with PGE2. No evidence for prostanoid EP3 receptor-dependent inhibition of adenylyl cyclase activity could be obtained to account for the relatively weak effect of PGE2 compared with prostacyclin receptor agonists. Interestingly, sulprostone (prostanoid EP3/EP1 receptor agonist) caused a Rho-kinase-dependent retraction of neurites, suggesting an alternative role for prostanoid EP3 receptors in DRG cells. In conclusion, PGE2 mediated increases in adenylyl cyclase activity in primary sensory neurones is likely to be mediated by activation of prostanoid EP4 receptors, and is not under inhibitory control by prostanoid EP3 receptors.

Dual action of prostaglandin E2 on gastric acid secretion through different EP-receptor subtypes in the rat.
We examined the role of prostaglandin E (EP) receptor subtypes in the regulation of gastric acid secretion in the rat. Under urethane anesthesia, the stomach was superfused with saline, and the acid secretion was determined at pH 7.0 by adding 50 mM NaOH. The acid secretion was stimulated by intravenous infusion of histamine or pentagastrin. Various EP agonists were administered intravenously, whereas EP antagonists were given subcutaneously 30 min or intravenously 10 min before EP agonists. PGE(2) suppressed the acid secretion stimulated by either histamine or pentagastrin in a dose-dependent manner. The acid inhibitory effect of PGE(2) was mimicked by sulprostone (EP(1)/EP(3) agonist) but not butaprost (EP(2) agonist) or AE1-329 (EP(4) agonist). The inhibitory effect of sulprostone, which was not affected by ONO-8711 (EP(1) antagonist), was more potent against pentagastrin- (50% inhibition dose: 3.6 mug/kg) than histamine-stimulated acid secretion (50% inhibition dose: 18.0 mug/kg). Pentagastrin increased the luminal release of histamine, and this response was also inhibited by sulprostone. On the other hand, AE1-329 (EP(4) agonist) stimulated the acid secretion in vagotomized animals with a significant increase in luminal histamine. This effect of AE1-329 was totally abolished by cimetidine as well as AE3-208 (EP(4) antagonist). These results suggest that PGE(2) has a dual effect on acid secretion: inhibition mediated by EP(3) receptors and stimulation through EP(4) receptors. The former effect may be brought about by suppression at both parietal and enterochromaffin-like cells, whereas the latter effect may be mediated by histamine released from enterochromaffin-like cells.

Prostaglandin E2 receptor selective agonists E-prostanoid 2 and E-prostanoid 4 may have therapeutic effects on ovalbumin-induced bronchoconstriction.
The pharmacologic actions of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) are mediated through specific E-prostanoid (EP)-1, EP-2, EP-3, and EP-4 receptors. In this study, we determined which PGE(2) receptor subtype(s) contribute to the prevention of allergen-induced bronchoconstriction.. We assessed the effects of these receptor agonists in ovalbumin (OA)-sensitized guinea pigs. The prostaglandin E receptor-subtype agonists tested were ONO-DI-004 (EP-1), ONO-AE1-259 (EP-2), ONO-AE-248 (EP-3), ONO-AE1-329 (EP-4), and sulprostone (EP-1 and EP-3) [Ono Pharmaceutical Company; Osaka, Japan]. We treated the animals with either PGE(2) or these agonists 15 min before OA challenge and measured respiratory resistance at 15 min, 1 h, and 3 h.. Allergen-induced bronchoconstriction was significantly (p < 0.01) suppressed at doses > 85 nmol/kg of PGE(2). The respiratory resistance elevations 15 min after OA challenge were significantly (p < 0.01) suppressed by preadministration of EP-2 and EP-4 agonists, but airway responsiveness to inhaled methacholine did not improve. EP-1, EP-3, or EP-1/EP-3 agonists had no effect on any parameter.. These results suggest that inhibition of OA-induced bronchoconstriction by PGE(2) acts through EP-2 and EP-4 receptors.

Participation of prostaglandin E receptor EP4 subtype in duodenal bicarbonate secretion in rats.
We examined, by using a specific PGE receptor subtype EP4 agonist and antagonist, the involvement of EP4 receptors in duodenal HCO(3)(-) secretion induced by PGE(2) and mucosal acidification in rats. Mucosal acidification was achieved by exposing a duodenal loop to 10 mM HCl for 10 min, and various EP agonists were given intravenously 10 min before the acidification. Secretion of HCO(3)(-) was dose-dependently stimulated by AE1-329 (EP4 agonist), the maximal response being equivalent to that induced by sulprostone (EP1/EP3 agonist) or PGE(2). The stimulatory action of AE1-329 and PGE(2) but not sulprostone was attenuated by AE3-208, a specific EP4 antagonist. This antagonist also significantly mitigated the acid-induced HCO(3)(-) secretion. Coadministration of sulprostone and AE1-329 caused a greater secretory response than either agent alone. IBMX potentiated the stimulatory action of both sulprostone and AE1-329, whereas verapamil mitigated the effect of sulprostone but not AE1-329. Chemical ablation of capsaicin-sensitive afferent neurons did not affect the response to any of the EP agonists used. We conclude that EP4 receptors are involved in the duodenal HCO(3)(-) response induced by PGE(2) or acidification in addition to EP3 receptors. The process by which HCO(3)(-) is secreted through these receptors differs regarding second-messenger coupling. Stimulation through EP4 receptors is mediated by cAMP, whereas that through EP3 receptors is regulated by both cAMP and Ca(2+); yet there is cooperation between the actions mediated by these two receptors. The neuronal reflex pathway is not involved in stimulatory actions of these prostanoids.
