Inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) and interleukin-l (IL-1) induce angiogenesis by yet undefined mechanisms, We demonstrate that PGE(2) and IL-1 induces the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a selective angiogenic factor by rheumatoid synovial fibroblast cells, Transcripts for the EP(1) and EP(2) subtypes of PGE receptors are expressed in synovial fibroblasts, Activators of protein kinase A pathway stimulated the expression of VEGF whereas down-regulation of protein kinase C did not influence the PGE effect, suggesting that signalling from the EP(2) receptor via the protein kinase A pathway is important, The induction of VEGF expression by PGE(2) and interleukin-1 alpha may be an important mechanism in inflammatory angiogenesis.
