    Over 25 years ago, it was observed that peritoneal macrophages (Mphi) isolated from mice given heat-killed Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (HK-BCG) i.p. did not release PGE(2). However, when peritoneal Mphi from untreated mice are treated with HK-BCG in vitro, cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), a rate-limiting enzyme for PGE(2) biosynthesis, is expressed and the release of PGE(2) is increased. The present study of peritoneal Mphi obtained from C57BL/6 mice and treated either in vitro or in vivo with HK-BCG was undertaken to further characterize the cellular responses that result in suppression of PGE(2) release. The results indicate that Mphi treated with HK-BCG in vivo express constitutive COX-1 and inducible COX-2 that are catalytically inactive, are localized subcellularly in the cytoplasm, and are not associated with the nuclear envelope (NE). In contrast, Mphi treated in vitro express catalytically active COX-1 and COX-2 that are localized in the NE and diffusely in the cytoplasm. Thus, for local Mphi activated in vivo by HK-BCG, the results indicate that COX-1 and COX-2 dissociated from the NE are catalytically inactive, which accounts for the lack of PGE(2) production by local Mphi activated in vivo with HK-BCG. Our studies further indicate that the formation of catalytically inactive COX-2 is associated with in vivo phagocytosis of HK-BCG, and is not dependent on extracellular mediators produced by in vivo HK-BCG treatment. This attenuation of PGE(2) production may enhance Mphi-mediated innate and Th1-acquired immune responses against intracellular infections which are suppressed by PGE(2).
