Abstract:

Objective

To explore the effect and related mechanisms of PGE2 on lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation of bladder epithelial cells.

Method

Normal human bladder epithelial cell (SV-HUC-1) were induced by lipopolysaccharide to establish a cystitis cell model, and real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of EP4 receptor after the use of PGE2. With the treatment of EP4 receptor agonist and antagonist, MTT method was used to detect the effect on cell proliferation. Finally, the expression of IL-10, IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α in cell culture medium were detected by ELISA method after the treatment of PGE2, EP4 receptor agonist and antagonist.

Results

PGE2 promoted the expression of EP4 receptor in bladder epithelial cell. EP4 receptor agonist (CAY10598) promoted cell proliferation, while EP4 receptor antagonist (AH23848) inhibited cell proliferation (P<0.05). Furthermore, PGE2 and CAY10598 promoted the expression of IL-10, IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α, while AH23848 had an inhibitory effect (P<0.05).

Conclusion

PGE2 promotes lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory response in bladder epithelial cells by up-regulating the expression of EP4 receptor. And PGE2/EP4 receptor is expected to be a potential target for the treatment of cystitis.

Key words: Cystitis, PGE2, EP4 receptor, inflammatory response
