Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and its receptor system regulate mesenchymal cell proliferation. We recently reported that emission-source fly-ash particles and asbestos fibers induce the PDGF alpha-receptor through a macrophage-dependent pathway, and upregulation of this receptor greatly enhances the mitogenic response of lung myofibroblasts to PDGF (Lindroos and colleagues, Plm. J. Respir. Cell Mel. Biol. 1997;16:283-292). In the present study we investigated the effect of particulate matter less than or equal to 10 mu m in size (PM10) from the southern, central, and northern regions of Mexico City on PDGF receptor induction and compared these urban, ambient particles with Mt. St. Helen's volcanic ash particles as a negative control. All Mexico City PM10 samples, but not volcanic ash, stimulated rat alveolar macrophages to secrete a soluble, upregulatory factor(s) for the PDGF alpha-receptor on early passage rat lung myofibroblasts. The macrophage-derived upregulatory activity was blocked by the interleukin (IL)-1 receptor antagonist. The ability of PM10 to stimulate IL-1 beta release was blocked in part by a recombinant endotoxin neutralizing protein (rENP). Lipopolysaccharide/endotoxin (LPS) and vanadium, both constituents that were present within these PM10 samples, also stimulated macrophages to secrete factor(s) that upregulated PDGF-R alpha on lung myofibroblasts. Direct exposure of myofibroblasts to PM10 also elicited upregulation of the PDGF alpha-receptor, and this effect was blocked by rENP and mimicked by LPS, but not vanadium. These findings suggest that PM10 particles induce expression of the PDGF receptor system through macrophage-dependent and -independent mechanisms involving endotoxin and metals.
