With increasing awareness of the importance of renal cortical interstitial fibrosis, interest has focused on the mechanisms that stimulate generation of profibrotic factors including transforming growth factor (TGF)-ß1, by resident cells, such as proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTCs). Infiltration of monocytes, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a wide variety of renal diseases, however, how interaction between monocytes and PTCs may affect the generation of TGF-ß1 by the resident cell is unknown. We demonstrate that monocytes stimulate TGF-ß1 transcription and protein synthesis by PTCs. This was dependent on direct cell contact and TGF-ß1 transcriptional activation that was dependent on ICAM-1 binding of unstimulated monocytes. This was mimicked by antibody cross-linking of PTC surface ICAM-1. We have previously identified hyaluronan (HA)-based structures on the surface of PTCs, both primary cultures and the HK-2 cell line. Removal of cell-surface HA increased ICAM-1-dependent monocyte binding and stimulation of TGF-ß1 synthesis. Furthermore, we demonstrate that binding of monocytes to HA-based structures on the cell surface of HK-2 cells interferes with this response. In summary, we have demonstrated that HA-based pericellular structures down-regulate proinflammatory and profibrotic responses by modulation of monocyte-driven ICAM-1-dependent cell activation and TGF-ß1 generation.
