Eicosanoids play a prominent role in trauma. Such mediators of inflammation negatively influence cell-mediated immunity (CMI). There is, however, no information available on the effect of eicosanoids on a critical event in CMI, i.e., antigen-presenting (AP) cell function of macrophages (Mφ), a cellular process responsible for the activation of T and B lymphocytes. The aim of this study, therefore, was to examine the effect of prostaglandin E2(PGE2) and thromboxane B2(TXB2) on AP cell function of the peritoneal Mφ. To study this, a T-helper-cell clone, D10.G4.1 was employed. This cell clone proliferates in the presence of Iak(Class II glycoprotein, MAC product) bearing Mφ and specific antigen (conalbumin A) thus directly reflecting the AP capability of the Mφ. Peritoneal Mφ were harvested from B10.BR mice (H2k) and their AP was testedin vitroby incubating varying numbers of Mφ with 2 × 104D10.G4.1 cells/well and conalbumin (400 μg/ml) in the presence and absence of different concentrations of PGE2or TXB2. Cultures were incubated for 72 hr, pulsed with [3H]-thymidine, and harvested. At concentrations of 10, 30, and 100 nMof PGE2, D10.G4.1 proliferations were 38, 35, and 20% of control, respectively (P< 0.05 compared to control). TXB2added at the above-mentioned concentrations did not suppress the proliferative response of D10. Thus, PGE2but not TXB2has a potent immunosuppressive effect on AP of peritoneal Mφ. The above results lead us to conclude that the elevated levels of PGE2in hemorrhage and trauma could be responsible for perturbations in CMI via depression of AP cell function of the Mφ. In addition, this defective AP process might further increase the susceptibility to sepsis and multiple organ failure following trauma.
