To explore the biochemical and physiologic basis of the overlapping effects of interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) on myeloid cytokine production, we have studied the dynamics of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and granulocyte-monocyte colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) production as well as IL-1 receptor and TNF receptor expression in a clonally derived bone marrow stromal cell strain (CDCL). IL-1 alpha and TNF alpha act in a synergistic manner to stimulate G-CSF and GM-CSF production by CDCL, resulting in an increase in CSF secretion that is 250-fold greater than that observed with either cytokine alone. This synergism in protein secretion is paralleled by synergistic increases the steady-state level of GM- and G-CSF mRNA, with supra-additive levels achieved by 24 hours. Coincident with this synergistic induction of myeloid CSFs, treatment of CDCL cells with IL-1 alpha induces a 300% increase in the expression of TNF receptors. IL-1 alpha induction of TNF receptors reaches a peak after 6 hours and gradually returns to baseline level by 24 hours. IL-1 alpha does not affect TNF receptor ligand binding affinity. A kinetic study comparing IL-1/TNF synergistic induction of growth factor secretion with IL-1 alpha induction of TNF receptors shows that these events occur in parallel. In contrast with the induction of TNF receptors by IL-1 alpha, treatment with TNF alpha has no effect on either the number of IL-1 receptors expressed by CDCL cells or IL-1 receptor ligand binding affinity. Brief treatment of IL-1 alpha/TNF alpha-stimulated CDCL cells with cycloheximide before receptor induction reduces the synergistic increase in growth factor mRNA by 40% to 60% compared with cells not treated with CHX. Taken together, these results raise the possibility that IL-1 alpha cross-induction of TNF receptors may contribute to the biochemical mechanisms underlying the synergistic stimulation of G-CSF and GM-CSF production by IL-1 alpha and TNF alpha.

Abstract The cytokines, interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF), induce a dose-dependent production of both granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and granulocyte CSF (G-CSF) in cultured human synovial cells, as measured by immunoassay. With IL-1, significant levels of both CSFs were first detected within 6 to 12 hours, with a maximum reached 24 to 48 hours after commencement of stimulation. A synergistic effect was detected between IL-1 and TNF in production of both CSFs in these cells. No evidence was obtained for the IL-1-induced effect to be mediated by induction of endogenous TNF nor for the TNF-induced stimulation to involve IL-1. IL-1-stimulated synovial cells were shown to secrete biologically active GM-CSF and G- CSF, which were specifically inhibited by their respective monoclonal antibodies. The transcription inhibitor, actinomycin D, and protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide, inhibited the increase in GM-CSF and G-CSF production induced by IL-1 and TNF. Finally, other cytokines, IL-3, interferon gamma (IFN gamma), IL-2, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming growth factor alpha (TGF alpha), failed to stimulate either GM-CSF or G-CSF production, whether alone or in the presence of IL-1. These results suggest that cytokine-stimulated synovial fibroblasts may be a major source of intraarticular CSF production in the joints of patients with inflammatory arthritis; as a result, monocyte/macrophages and granulocytes may be activated, leading to perpetuation of the inflammation and destructive events occurring in these lesions.

Abstract Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) stimulates granulocyte- macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) production in human fibroblasts and other mesenchymal cells. However, relatively little is known about agents that downregulate cytokine production in these cells. In the present report we show that dexamethasone (Dexa), a synthetic glucocorticoid, markedly reduced GM-CSF production in TNF alpha-stimulated fibroblasts at both the protein and the RNA levels. CSF activity, GM-CSF protein, and RNA levels, determined by an in vitro colony-forming assay in normal human bone marrow cells, by an enzyme immunoassay, and by Northern blotting assay, were reduced to greater than 90% of control values by Dexa (1 mumol/L). Similarly, 1,25- dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3], a hormone with possible physiologic immunoregulatory significance, reduced GM-CSF expression in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. However, this repression was less pronounced than that of Dexa, and in part due to a decreased proliferative activity. In contrast, cyclosporine A (CsA), another immunosuppressive agent, did not alter GM-CSF expression in TNF alpha- stimulated fibroblasts. Our in vitro studies suggest that by inhibiting GM-CSF production in fibroblasts, glucocorticoids and possibly 1,25(OH)2D3, but not CsA, may attenuate TNF alpha-mediated inflammatory processes and influence the regulation of hematopoiesis.

Abstract The recent demonstration of the ability of human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) to secrete various cytokines in response to the granulocyte activator granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) but not to other cytokines, has led to the identification of PMN as biosynthetically active cells. In this study we have investigated the ability of PMN to secrete interleukin-6 (IL-6), a molecule known to be involved in inflammatory reactions. Using RNA blotting analysis and bioassays, we show that PMN could be induced to synthesize transcripts specific for IL-6, indistinguishable in size from IL-6 mRNA produced by activated human macrophages. Consequently, PMN released IL-6-like activity into their culture supernatants that could be neutralized by monospecific anti-IL-6 antibody. Interleukin-6 secretion by PMN, however, required previous stimulation with GM-CSF or tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), whereas other cytokines, including interleukin-3 (IL-3), granulocyte-CSF (G-CSF), macrophage-CSF (M-CSF), interferon gamma (IFN-gamma), and lymphotoxin (LT), failed to induce IL-6 mRNA accumulation and protein secretion by PMN. Similar to GM-CSF and TNF-alpha, other compounds, including the inhibitor of protein synthesis cyclohexemide (CHX), endotoxin (Escherichia coli- derived lipopolysaccharide), and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) (but not the chemoattractant N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine [FMLP]), induced detectable levels of IL-6 transcripts in PMN.

Abstract Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) has previously been reported to have both inhibitory and stimulatory effects on hematopoietic progenitor cells. Specifically, TNF alpha has been proposed to stimulate early hematopoiesis in humans. In the present study we show that TNF alpha, in a dose-dependent fashion, can potently inhibit the growth of primitive high proliferative potential colony-forming cells (HPP-CFCs) stimulated by multiple cytokine combinations. Using agonistic antibodies to the p55 and p75 TNF receptors or TNF alpha mutants specific for either of the two TNF receptors, we show that both receptors can mediate this inhibition. In contrast, the potent stimulation of interleukin-3 (IL-3) plus granulocyte-macrophage colony- stimulating factor (GM-CSF) induced HPP-CFC colony formation observed at low concentrations of TNF alpha (2 ng/mL) was only a p55-mediated event. Moreover, the stimulatory effects of TNF alpha on GM-CSF or IL-3- induced colony formation, as well as the inhibition of G-CSF-induced colony growth, were also exclusively signaled through the p55 TNF receptor. Taken together, our results suggest that the inhibitory effects of TNF alpha on primitive bone marrow progenitor cells are mediated through both p55 and p75 TNF receptors, whereas the p55 receptor exclusively mediates the bidirectional effects on more mature, single factor-responsive bone marrow progenitor cells as well as stimulation of IL-3 plus GM-CSF-induced HPP-CFC colony growth.

Abstract Recombinant tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a cytokine that induces proliferation of neoplastic B cells from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). To gain insight into the mechanisms involved in regulating TNF responsiveness, we have examined TNF receptor expression on neoplastic B-CLL cells. We have demonstrated that freshly isolated neoplastic B cells from patients with CLL did not express TNF receptors. After 1 day of incubation in culture medium, TNF receptors were detectable in the range of 540 to 1,500/cell. Kinetic experiments revealed that receptor expression was half-maximal after 3 hours of culturing and required de novo protein synthesis. The Scatchard plots of TNF-alpha binding indicated a single set of high- affinity TNF receptors with a dissociation constant of 70 pmol/L. TNF receptor expression in vitro was found in all examined cases. All cytokines tested, with the exception of IL-2, did not influence the expression of TNF receptors. The TNF receptor expression is enhanced in B-CLL cells cultured in the presence of interleukin-2 when compared with the receptor expression of cells cultured in medium alone. Our data suggest that neoplastic B-CLL cells in patients with stable disease do not express TNF receptors in vivo and that an unknown mechanism suppressing TNF receptor expression in vivo may play a role in growth regulation of neoplastic B cells.

Abstract Synovial fibroblasts are likely to be a significant source of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and granulocyte-CSF (G-CSF), which could be crucial to the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. Using specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) and Northern analysis, GM-CSF and G-CSF expression were followed in human synovial fibroblast-like cells in response to a number of agents, either alone or in the presence of an optimal stimulatory concentration of interleukin-1 (IL-1). For both CSFs, interferon-gamma (100 U/mL) did not increase their levels but dramatically suppressed the stimulatory action of IL-1, while basic fibroblast growth factor (10(-8) mol/L), although nonstimulatory by itself, potentiated IL-1 action. The glucocorticoid, dexamethasone (10(- 7) mol/L), inhibited IL-1-stimulated CSF production. However, evidence was obtained for noncoordinated CSF regulation. Cyclooxygenase inhibitors potentiated the action of IL-1 on GM-CSF synthesis but suppressed G-CSF synthesis, suggesting that endogenous cyclooxygenase products can have opposite effects in modulating the levels of each CSF. Also, the lymphokine, IL-4 (250 pmol/L), slightly inhibited GM-CSF formation in the presence of IL-1 but elevated the G-CSF levels in these cultures without having an effect by itself. Transforming growth factor beta (less than or equal to 20 ng/mL) did not modulate levels of either CSF. Mesenchymal cell production of both GM-CSF and G-CSF is generally viewed as being under coordinate control; our findings suggest that their synthesis in IL-1-stimulated human synoviocytes can be modulated by a number of agents, in some cases with divergent actions depending on which CSF is examined.

Monocyte expression and secretion of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and TNF receptors (TNF-R) p55 and p75 was studied in patients receiving granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) after intensive chemotherapy. TNF expression and secretion of biologically active TNF was increased at regeneration compared with that of patients who had received chemotherapy alone. This effect persisted for several weeks after cessation of growth factor therapy. GM-CSF restored the responsiveness of monocytes to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which appeared to be diminished after chemotherapy alone. Expression and secretion of TNF-R p55 and p75 by monocytes was augmented by GM-CSF therapy in association with the increase in TNF protein. We propose that GM-CSF administration after chemotherapy restores the normal responsiveness of monocytes to a secondary stimulus such as LPS and primes monocytes to respond to LPS with increased expression and secretion of TNF and TNF-R.
