Estrogen modulates the inducible expression of platelet-derived growth factor mRNA by monocyte/macrophages.

Abstract:

:We examined the effects of estrogen, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13 acetate (TPA), and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the gene expression of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) by the monocyte/macrophage cell line, THP-1. THP-1 cells were exposed to TPA for 48 or 96 hours to induce differentiation. Some were treated with LPS in the last 3 hours and/or ethinyl estradiol (estrogen) (10(-9) M) in the last 20 hours. Total cellular RNA was isolated and cDNA was synthesized and then coamplified (with an internal control, beta-actin, product size 1126 bp) using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and a set of primers for PDGF-A (product size 225 bp), PDGF-B (217 bp), or PDGF beta-receptor (PDGF-R) (228 bp). The products were separated on an agarose gel and the ratios of radioactivity incorporated into PDGF PCR products to beta-actin products were used to assess the relative changes in the levels of PDGF mRNA abundance in response to various inducers. TPA induced the expression of PDGF-A mRNA, whereas LPS had no effect. Treatment of TPA-stimulated cells with estrogen caused a 61% and 190% increase in PDGF-A mRNA (p < 0.05) at 48 and 96 hours, respectively. Addition of estrogen to cells treated with both TPA and LPS did not cause any significant change in the amounts of the transcripts. In contrast to PDGF-A mRNA, attempts to visualize and estimate PDGF-B and PDGF-R mRNA were unsuccessful. This was probably due to low levels of these transcripts in THP-1 cells. The results indicate that estrogen modulates PDGF-A gene expression by monocyte/macrophages and suggest that estrogen may influence atherogenesis at the vascular level.
