    Abstract:
    In the present study, we examined whether prostaglandin (PG) E2 and PGI2 regulated intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression in human oral gingival epithelial cells stimulated with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha). TNF alpha potently induced ICAM-1 expression in a dose- and time-dependent fashion. PGE2 and carbacyclin (a stable analogue of PGI2) significantly decreased ICAM-1 expression in TNF alpha-challenged oral gingival epithelial cells. Next, of the four subtypes of PGE2 receptors (EP1, EP2, EP3 and EP4), we examined which subtype(s) mediated inhibition of TNF alpha-induced ICAM-1 expression by PGE2. 11-deoxy-PGE2, an EP2/EP4 agonist, significantly suppressed TNF alpha-induced ICAM-1 expression, whereas butaprost, an EP2 agonist, sulprostone, an EP1/EP3 agonist, and ONO-AP-324, an EP3 agonist, caused no effect on it. By reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, expression of EP4 mRNA was detected in oral gingival epithelial cells. Dibutyryl cAMP, a cAMP analogue, and forskolin, a direct activator of adenylate cyclase, significantly inhibited TNF alpha-induced ICAM-1 expression in oral gingival epithelial cells. From these results, we suggest that PGE2 and PGI2 inhibit TNF alpha-elicited ICAM-1 expression by cAMP-dependent pathways via EP4 receptors and IP receptors, respectively.
