Abstract: | The secretion of interleukin-6 (IL-6) is modulated by immune, hormonal and metabolic stimuli in a cell-specific manner. We investigated the effect of cytokines, TNFalpha and IL-1beta, and insulin on IL-6 release from human adipocytes and peripheral blood cells (PBC). Adipocytes released IL-6 constitutively (after 5 h: 5.64 1.61-15.30]pg ml(-1), after 10 h: 15.95 2.34-45.59]pg ml(-1), p = 0.007), while PBC secretion did not change significantly over this period. LPS stimulated IL-6 secretion in PBC after 5 h but was without effect on adipocytes. TNFalpha and insulin induced IL-6 production from PBC, but had no effect on adipocytes. IL-1beta, however, induced a substantial increase in IL-6 release in adipocytes and PBC (all p < 0.05). Adipose tissue production of IL-1beta was assessed in vivo by measuring arterio-venous differences across the subcutaneous abdominal adipose bed. Net release of IL-1beta was not observed, suggesting that under basal conditions there is no detectable release of this cytokine into the circulation from this depot. In conclusion (1) PBC demonstrate regulated IL-6 release, while the adipocyte release has a large constitutive component; (2) immune modulators, such as LPS, TNFalpha and IL-1beta, all induce PBC IL-6 release, but only IL-1beta stimulates adipocyte release. Though IL-1beta is not an endocrine signal from adipose tissue, it is an autocrine/paracrine stimulator of IL-6 release from human adipocytes. |
