Deletion of Microsomal Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) Synthase-1 Reduces Inducible and Basal PGE2 Production and Alters the Gastric Prostanoid Profile*

Microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) is an inducible protein recently shown to be an important source of inflammatory PGE2. Here we have used mPGES-1 wild type, heterozygote, and null mice to assess the impact of reduction or absence mPGES-1 protein on the production of PGE2 and other prostaglandins in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated macrophages and mice. Thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal macrophages with mPGES-1 deficiency were found to lose their ability to produce PGE2 upon LPS stimulation. Resident mPGES-1-/- peritoneal macrophages exhibited severely impaired PGE2-releasing activity but retained some LPS-inducible PGE2 production capacity. Both macrophage types showed a 50% decrease in PGE2 production with removal of one copy of the mPGES-1 gene. In vivo, mPGES-1 deletion abolished the LPS-stimulated production of PGE2 in spleen, kidney, and brain. Surprisingly, lack of mPGES-1 activity resulted in an 80-90% decrease in basal, cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1)-dependent PGE2 production in stomach and spleen, and a 50% reduction in brain and kidney. Other prostaglandins (thromboxane B2, PGD2, PGF2α, and 6-keto-PGF1α) were significantly elevated in stomachs of mPGES-1-null mice but not in other tissues. Examination of mRNA for several terminal prostaglandin synthases did not reveal changes in expression levels associated with mPGES-1 deficiency, indicating that gastric prostaglandin changes may be due to shunting of cyclooxygenase products to other terminal synthases. These data demonstrate for the first time a dual role for mPGES-1 in both inflammatory and COX-1-mediated PGE2 production and suggest an interdependence of prostanoid production with tissue-specific alterations of prostaglandin levels in the absence of mPGES-1.
