Popis: Objective To determine a mechanism by which corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) promotes human inflammatory joint disease progression. Methods An ex vivo synovial tissue culture system was established to investigate the functional properties of CRH at peripheral sites of inflammation. CRH- and interleukin-1β (IL-1β)–induced prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production from 10 fresh rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial tissue (ST) explants was quantified using a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Modulation of PGE2 levels was further examined following selective and nonselective cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibition. Nuclear extracts were analyzed by electrophoretic mobility shift assays to determine functional cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) activity in response to CRH and PGE2 in isolated primary synovial cell populations. Western blot analysis measured levels of total and activated (phosphospecific) CREB/activating transcription factor (ATF) family members prior to and following stimulation. Results CRH, in a time- and dose-dependent manner, significantly (P = 0.022) up-regulated PGE2 production from 10 fresh RA ST explants. Costimulation of RA ST with CRH and IL-1β significantly augmented (P = 0.036) the effects on PGE2 production additively over 24 hours. We demonstrated that selective COX-2 inhibitors prevent the induction of PGE2 by both CRH and IL-1β. Further, we provided evidence that CRH and PGE2 signal through the induction of CREB and phosphorylated CREB/ATF family members in RA ST and in isolated primary RA cell populations. Conclusion Our findings underscore the pathogenic role that CRH may play in modulating inflammatory joint disease and establish the CREB/ATF family of transcription factors as principal effector molecules of proinflammatory mediator action in RA.
