Popis: We extended our previous data regarding the modulation of human platelet-activating factor receptor (hPAF-R) expression on human B cell lines as well as normal B cells. First, we showed that hPAF-R mRNA was present in B cell lines expressing membrane hPAF-R, but was absent from cell lines devoid of hPAF-R. Second, enhanced hPAF-R membrane expression induced in IM9 line by IL4 was preceeded by hPAF-R mRNA accumulation that was detectable by 8 h and which peaked at 24 h. Similar results were observed for 10 nM platelet-activating factor treatment, which increased hPAF-R mRNA content up to 120% at 48 h, whereas hPAF-R membrane expression was up-regulated by 130%. Third, our data indicate that functional hPAF-R are expressed on resting, as well as on activated, B cells and that B cell activation is required for maintaining hPAF-R membrane and mRNA expression. Thus, in normal B cells, as well as in B cell lines, transcriptional regulation and/or messenger stability control hPAF-R expression.
