We investigated the effects of recombinant C5a (rC5a) on gene expression and synthesis of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in fresh human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Total (cell-associated and secreted) cytokine synthesis was measured. In the strict absence of endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide [LPS]), rC5a resulted in a small but statistically insignificant increase in immunoreactive IL-1 beta and TNF, as well as in IL-1 and IL- 6 bioactivity. On the other hand, rC5a induced marked transcriptional activation of IL-1 beta and TNF in a dose-dependent fashion with an optimal concentration of 50 ng/mL. The rC5a-induced cytokine messenger RNA (mRNA) was not spontaneously translated into protein. At 50 ng/mL, rC5a induced the same levels of mRNA for IL-1 beta and TNF as 1 ng/mL of LPS, whereas LPS induced 12 times more IL-1 beta protein and 70 times more TNF protein than rC5a alone. The C5a-induced mRNA half-life was the same as that induced by LPS. Formyl-Meth-Leu-Phe (fMLP) did not induce cytokine transcription. Pretreatment with rC5a enhanced cytokine synthesis induced by other stimuli. After 2 hours of preincubation with rC5a, PBMC synthesized 3 to 10 times more IL-1 beta and TNF on subsequent stimulation by LPS or IL-1 itself. We conclude that rC5a provides primarily a transcriptional but not translational signal for IL-1 beta and TNF; the half-life of the untranslated mRNA is the same as that of translated message; rC5a-induced transcription upregulates PBMC for enhanced synthesis of these cytokines; and a translational signal can be provided by LPS or IL-1 itself.

Abstract Although the genes for four hematopoietic colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) have been cloned, neither the mechanism of the regulation of their production nor their cellular origins have been established with certainty. Monocytes are known to produce colony-stimulating and burst- promoting activities, as well as several monokines such as interleukin- 1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF). These monokines indirectly stimulate other mesenchymal cells to produce certain colony-stimulating factors such as granulocyte-macrophage CSF (GM-CSF). To determine whether monocytes produce other CSFs and if so, to compare the mechanism of regulation of production with that of endothelial cells and fibroblasts, we investigated the synthesis of CSFs by monocytes, human umbilical vein endothelial cells, and fibroblasts. We used total cellular RNA blot analysis to determine interleukin-3 (IL-3), GM-CSF, granulocyte CSF (G-CSF), and monocyte CSF (M-CSF) messenger RNA (mRNA) content and immunoprecipitation or bioassay to confirm the presence of the specific secreted proteins. The results indicate that M-CSF mRNA and protein are produced constitutively by all three cell types and their level of expression does not increase after induction. In contrast, GM-CSF and G-CSF mRNAs are barely detectable in uninduced monocytes and show an increase in expression after lipopolysaccharide treatment. Retrovirus-immortalized endothelial cells, unlike primary endothelial cells or both primary and immortalized fibroblasts, produce IL-1 constitutively; this correlates with their constitutive production of GM-CSF and G-CSF. IL-3 mRNA was not detectable in any of these cells either before or after induction. The results indicate that these mesenchymal cells can produce three CSFs: GM-CSF, G-CSF, and M-CSF; furthermore, the data suggest that the mechanism of regulation of M-CSF production is different from that of GM-CSF and G-CSF, and that the latter two inducible CSFs are regulated by different factors in monocytes compared with the other mesenchymal cells.

Macrophages are the master regulator of the dynamic fibrogenesis–fibrosis resolution paradigm. TNF-like ligand 1 aberrance (TL1A) was found to be able to induce intestinal inflammation and fibrosis. Furthermore, significantly increased TL1A had been detected in liver tissues and mononuclear cells of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). This study was to investigate the effect of myeloid cells with constitutive TL1A expression on liver fibrogenesis. We found that TL1A expressions in liver tissues and macrophages were significantly increased in mice with liver fibrosis induced by injection of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). TL1A overexpression in myeloid cells induced liver function injury, accelerated the necrosis and apoptosis of hepatocytes, recruited macrophages, and promoted activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and fibrosis. In vitro results of our study showed that TL1A overexpression in macrophages promoted secretion of platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), and interleukin-1β(IL-1β). Culturing macrophages with TL1A overexpression could accelerate the activation and proliferation of primary HSCs. These results indicated that constitutive TL1A expression in myeloid cells exacerbated liver fibrosis, probably through macrophage recruitment and secretion of proinflammatory and profibrotic cytokines.

Necrosis Factor

Interleukin-1 (IL-1) and other monocyte products have several important effects on the systemic response to infection in addition to their roles in lymphocyte stimulation. The present studies were carried out to determine whether products of stimulated monocytes activated circulating neutrophils (PMN) to increase expression of receptors for C3b (CR1) and C3bi (CR3), which are necessary for optimal margination, migration, and phagocytosis. Supernatants of human mononuclear cells that had been stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or purified protein derivative (PPD) contained both tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and IL-1 and increased CR1 and CR3 expression on isolated PMNs. Supernatants of unstimulated cultures, media alone, or LPS or PPD alone had little or no effect. Supernatant effects were detectable at 1:3,000 final dilution and appeared to have a characteristic slow time course. These supernatants also caused dose- and time-dependent secretion of PMN granular constituents, but maximal receptor expression was accompanied by secretion of less than 10% of the cells' content of lysozyme and less than 16% of the B12 binding protein. Immunoadsorption studies showed that the supernatant's activity could be removed by anti- TNF but not by anti-IL-1. Recombinant IL-1 had no effect on receptor expression, but recombinant TNF increased CR1 and CR3 expression with kinetics similar to the supernatants. These results thus indicate that TNF is the major monocyte product that increases CR1 and CR3 expression on mature blood neutrophils. This would result in increased margination and phagocytic activity and may be an important systemic effect that would help the host eradicate infection.
