Stimulation of synovial cell prostaglandin production by a factor obtained from casein-induced peritoneal polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells has been investigated. Both the extract and short time cultured medium of rat peritoneal PMN cells stimulate prostaglandin (PG)E2 production as well as collagenase production in the culture of rat synovial cells. PGE2 production by the cells in the presence of the PMN factor is much faster (5 to 24 hr) than collagenase production (24 hr or later, Biomedical Res. 3, 506-516, 1982). This stimulating factor is confirmed to be derived from PMN cells, based on the purification of the cells from peritoneal exudate cells by the Ficoll-Urographin method. Elution profile of the factor on gel filtration has indicated that both PGE2 and collagenase productions by synovial cells are stimulated by the same effluent fractions corresponding to molecular weights of 15,000 - 20,000 daltons and 30,000 - 40,000 daltons. These results suggest that PMN cells are involved in PG production as well as collagenase production in the inflamed tissue by stimulating connective tissue cells such as synovial cells.
