Abstract

Ovarian cancer G-protein-coupled receptor 1 (OGR1) and GPR4 have recently been identified as proton-sensing or extracellular pH-responsive G-protein-coupled receptors stimulating inositol phosphate production and cAMP accumulation, respectively. In the present study, we found that OGR1 and GPR4 mRNAs were expressed in human aortic smooth muscle cells (AoSMCs). Acidic extracellular pH induced inositol phosphate production, a transient increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), and cAMP accumulation in these cells. When small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeted for OGR1 and GPR4 were transfected to the cells, the acid-induced inositol phosphate production and [Ca(2+)](i) increase were markedly inhibited by the OGR1 siRNA but not by the GPR4 siRNA. Unexpectedly, the acid-induced cAMP accumulation was also largely inhibited by OGR1 siRNA but only slightly by GPR4 siRNA. Acidic extracellular pH also stimulated prostaglandin I2 (PGI(2)) production, which was again inhibited by OGR1 siRNA. The specific inhibitors for extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase and cyclooxygenase attenuated the acid-induced PGI(2) production and cAMP accumulation without changes in the inositol phosphate production. A specific inhibitor of phospholipase C also inhibited the acid-induced cAMP accumulation. In conclusion, OGR1 is a major receptor involved in the extracellular acid-induced stimulation of PGI(2) production and cAMP accumulation in AoSMCs. The cAMP accumulation may occur through OGR1-mediated stimulation of the phospholipase C/cyclooxygenase/PGI(2) pathway.

  • Medium acidification during in vitro cell culture can initiate pro-inflammatory signaling responses in human aortic smooth muscle cells and cells of the human nucleus pulposus.

    “Medium acidification during in vitro cell culture can also initiate pro-inflammatory signaling responses in human aortic smooth muscle cells (Tomura et al., 2005) and cells of the human nucleus pulposus (Gilbert et al., 2016).”

    From Toward Best Practices for Controlling Mammalian Cell Culture Environments (2022) · cites this paper as Tomura et al., 2005

    The Results show that acidic medium triggers OGR1-mediated PGI2 production and cAMP accumulation in human aortic smooth muscle cells. But the Discussion characterizes this response as a possible mechanism that counteracts inflammation, not a pro-inflammatory response. The separate nucleus pulposus claim is attributed to Gilbert et al., not to this source. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
