Cytokine-specific regulation of urokinase receptor (CD87) expression by U937 mononuclear phagocytes.

چکیده
Mononuclear phagocytes concentrate urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) at the cell surface by expressing membrane uPA receptors (uPAR). This study examines the ability of exogenous cytokines to alter expression of membrane-associated uPA and uPAR in U937 mononuclear phagocytes. Cells were stimulated with recombinant interferon gamma (IFN gamma) or tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha), followed by immunolabeling for uPA or uPAR and flow cytometry. IFN gamma increased surface uPA 2.2-fold relative to unstimulated controls (P < .001), whereas TNF alpha had no significant effect. Likewise, maximal uPA binding capacity was increased 2.8-fold by IFN gamma (P < .02), but was not affected by TNF alpha. In unstimulated cells, 50% of receptors were occupied by endogenously generated uPA, and this proportion was not affected by either cytokine. IFN gamma upregulated uPAR 2.1-fold relative to unstimulated controls (P < .001), whereas TNF alpha had no effect. In contrast to effects on surface protein, TNF alpha induced a substantial increase in uPAR mRNA, equaling the effect of IFN gamma. In addition, both cytokines doubled the intracellular uPAR pool (P < .01). By contrast, TNF alpha induced a 2.5-fold increase in the level of uPAR protein released into conditioned medium (compared with unstimulated cells), whereas IFN gamma had no effect. These results indicate that uPAR expression is regulated in a cytokine-specific fashion. Some stimuli, such as TNF alpha, may increase uPAR synthetic activity without a corresponding change in membrane expression, because of enhanced release of uPAR from the cell. Cytokine-specific modulation of uPAR may be important in regulating the function of mononuclear phagocytes in inflammation and tissue repair.

Effects of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharides on mononuclear phagocytes.
The mononuclear phagocyte plays an important role in the regulation of microbe-induced inflammation, in part through its ability to secrete mediators, particularly cytokines, in response to microorganisms and their products. To evaluate the effects of the microbial flora associated with chronic adult periodontitis on cytokine induction, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from the periodontopathogen Porph...

Elevated levels of soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) receptor, CD87/u-PAR, predict survival in individuals infected with HIV-1. Here, we report that pro-uPA (or uPA) inhibits HIV-1 expression in U937-derived chronically infected promonocytic U1 cells stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) or tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). However, pro-uPA did not inhibi...

Calcitriol-induced differentiation of U937 mononuclear phagocytes is known to have divergent effects on the synthesis of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-2 (PAI-2). In this study, we sought to determine whether calcitriol affects the expression of these proteins by modulating intermediate signal transduction involving intracellular calcium and prote...

CD87 or uPAR (urokinase type plasminogen activator receptor) expression leads to conversion of plasminogen to plasmin to mediate extravasation by proteolytic breakdown of adhesion molecules responsible from cell contact. uPA (urokinase type plasminogen activator) system consists of a proteinase, its receptor uPAR, and two inhibitors (plasminogen activator inhibitor [PAI] 1 and 2). CD87 expressi...
