Prostaglandin E2(PGE2) is an inflammatory mediator capable of regulating fibroblast cell proliferation, matrix protein production, and system A amino acid transport. System x−camino acid transport is regulated by electrophilic agents and oxygen. The effect of PGE2on the x−csystem transport of cystine and the synthesis of glutathione by human lung fibroblasts was examined. Preincubation of fibroblast cultures with PGE2decreased cystine uptake by 42%. Kinetic studies revealed a 42% decrease in the Vmaxof the x−csystem transporter in PGE2-treated fibroblasts; however, the apparent Kmwas not affected. The glutathione content of PGE2-treated fibroblasts was decreased by up to 25% of control. These results demonstrate that system x−ctransport of cystine is regulated by PGE2and suggest that the limited availability of intracellular cysteine inhibited glutathione synthesis.
