Complement C5b-9-Mediated Arachidonic Acid Metabolism in Glomerular Epithelial Cells

Role of Cyclooxygenase-1 and -2

Tomoko Takano and Andrey V. Cybulsky

From the Department of Medicine, McGill University Health Centre, Montreal, Quebec, Canada

In the passive Heymann nephritis (PHN) model of membranous nephropathy, complement C5b-9 induces glomerular epithelial cell (GEC) injury and proteinuria, which is partially mediated by eicosanoids. This study addresses the role of cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and -2 in C5b-9-mediated eicosanoid production in GEC. Unstimulated rat GEC in culture primarily express COX-1. When stimulated with sublytic C5b-9, COX-2 was significantly up-regulated, whereas COX-1 was not affected. Compared with control, complement-treated GEC produced 32% more prostaglandin (PG) E2 in the presence of exogenous substrate, and the increase was abolished with the COX-2-selective inhibitor, NS-398. Release of arachidonic acid from GEC phospholipids via C5b-9-induced activation of cytosolic phospholipase A2 was associated with a marked stimulation of PGE2 production, which was inhibited by 60% with NS-398. The results in cultured GEC were extended to GEC injury in vivo by examining COX-1 and -2 expression in PHN. Glomeruli from rats with PHN expressed significantly more COX-1 and COX-2, as compared with normal rats. PGE2 production in glomeruli of rats with PHN was about twofold greater than in control glomeruli, and the increase was partially inhibited with NS-398. Thus, in GEC in culture and in vivo, C5b-9-induced eicosanoid production is regulated by both isoforms of COX. The inducible COX-2 may be an important novel mediator of C5b-9-induced glomerular injury.
