ABSTRACT
AIM:
To determine whether human peritoneal mesothelial cells express CD40.METHODS:
Human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMC) were harvested from spent peritoneal dialysis effluent and maintained under defined in vitro conditions. Expression of CD40, CD40L and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) on HPMC under normal culture or stimulation with interferon-γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin(IL)-1 and LPS were detected by FACS analysis. The relationship between CD40 expression and ICAM-1 expression on HPMC was analyzed.RESULTS:
HPMC cultured in vitro expressed CD40 constitutively. The surface expression of CD40 was markedly up-regulated following stimulation with IFN-γ, but not with TNF-α, IL-1 and LPS. CD40L expression on HPMC was not detected. The expression of ICAM-1 on HPMC was significantly increased by stimulation with IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-1, LPS, respectively; the most effective inducer on ICAM-1 expression was IFN-γ. The CD40 expression co-localizes with the expression of ICAM-1 and there was positive correlation between CD40 and ICAM-1 expression on HPMC.CONCLUSION:
HPMC functionally expressed CD40.
