Synthesis of type II interleukin-1 receptors by human corneal epithelial cells but not by keratocytes.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:The purpose of this study was to determine whether human corneal epithelial cells and keratocytes synthesize both the soluble and membrane forms of the type II IL-1 receptor (IL-1RII). METHODS:Primary cell cultures of human corneal epithelial cells and keratocytes were established from human corneas. RT-PCR was used to analyze cell cultures for expression of IL-1RII mRNA. The capacity of corneal cells to synthesize membrane-bound IL-1RII was determined by immunofluorescence microscopy, whereas ELISA was used to quantitate synthesis of soluble IL-1RII after IL-1alpha and TNF-alpha stimulation. RESULTS:Corneal epithelial cells expressed IL-1RII mRNA. The cells also stained positive for membrane-bound IL-1RII, and media harvested from epithelial cell cultures contained up to 50 pg/ml of soluble IL-1RII. Both IL-1alpha and TNF-alpha significantly enhanced the amounts of soluble IL-1RII released from epithelial cell surfaces. In contrast to epithelial cells, corneal keratocytes did not express IL-1RII mRNA. Membrane-bound IL-1RII was not detected on keratocytes, nor was soluble IL-1RII detected in culture media harvested from these cells. CONCLUSIONS:Human corneal epithelial cells but not corneal keratocytes synthesize both membrane and soluble forms of IL-1RII. Because both forms of IL-1RII can function as IL-1alpha antagonists, the results suggest that human corneal epithelial cells but not corneal keratocytes have evolved the capacity to dampen IL-1alpha responses through the production of IL-1RII.
