Human orbital fibroblasts play a
putative role in the pathogenesis of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy
(TAO). We hypothesize that the hyaluronan accumulation and inflammation
in TAO derive from enhanced biosynthetic activities of orbital
fibroblasts. CD40, a member of the tumor necrosis factor- receptor
superfamily, is a critical signaling molecule expressed by B
lymphocytes. Engagement of CD40 with CD154 or CD40 ligand results in
the activation of target genes. Orbital fibroblasts also display CD40.
Here we report that CD40 engagement leads to substantial increases in
hyaluronan synthesis in orbital fibroblasts. The increase is
approximately 5-fold above control values, is comparable to the
induction elicited by IL-1 and could be attenuated with
dexamethasone but not by SC 58125, a prostaglandin endoperoxide H
synthase-2 (PGHS-2)-selective inhibitor. PGHS-2 is also induced by CD40
engagement in a time-dependent manner, and this is mediated
through increases in levels of steady-state mRNA. The induction of
PGHS-2 leads to a dramatically enhanced prostaglandin
E2 production that can be blocked by SC 58125 and dexamethasone. CD40 ligand up-regulates the synthesis of IL-1 , and
blocking this cytokine with exogenous IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra)
or with IL-1 neutralizing antibodies partially attenuates the
induction of PGHS-2. In contrast, CD40 ligand up-regulation of
hyaluronan synthesis is unaffected by IL-1ra. CD40 cross-linking enhances mitogen-activated protein kinase activation, and interrupting this pathway attenuates the PGHS-2 induction. Thus the CD40/CD40 ligand
bridge represents a potentially important activational pathway for
orbital fibroblasts that may underlie the cross-talk between these
cells and leukocytes. These findings may be relevant to the
pathogenesis of TAO and provide insights into previously unrecognized, potential therapeutic targets.
