The stimulation of granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) by interleukin-1 (IL-1) has been shown to be counteracted in different mesenchymal cell systems by cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) agonists. The aim of this study was the evaluation of different cAMP agonists on GM-CSF expression in human bone marrow stromal cells. Incubation of secondary haematopoietic progenitor cell deprived human stromal cell cultures with IL-1 or TNF-alpha induced GM-CSF protein expression in culture supernatants and GM-CSF-mRNA in adherent stromal cells. The coincubation with 8-bromo-cAMP (8BrcAMP), a water soluble cAMP analogue, inhibited this GM-CSF stimulation at the protein and the mRNA level. This effect was dose dependent with a maximal inhibition of about 65% occurring at a 8BrcAMP concentration of 0.75 mM. In addition to 8BrcAMP, other cAMP agonists such as dibutyryl-cAMP, forskolin, pertussis toxin, or prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) had the same inhibitory effect on GM-CSF stimulation by IL-1. Coincubation with the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin had no significant influence on GM-CSF expression in stromal cells. Our results provide evidence that the previously described inhibitory effect of cAMP agonist PGE2 on haematopoietic progenitor cells in vivo is, at least in part, mediated by modulating the expression of GM-CSF in bone marrow stromal cells.

D012333	RNA, Messenger	RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
