The effect of IFN-alpha and IFN-beta on the expression of cell surface receptors for tumor necrosis factor (TNF) was examined in two human cell lines. In HeLa cells, IFN-alpha and IFN-beta increased 125I-TNF binding, whereas in HT-29 cells these two IFN either slightly decreased or had no effect on 125I-TNF binding. In contrast, IFN-gamma increased 125I-TNF binding in both cell lines. Both IFN-alpha and IFN-beta exerted an antagonistic effect on IFN-gamma-induced stimulation of TNF receptor expression in HT-29 cells, but did not inhibit TNF receptor induction by IFN-gamma in HeLa cells. IFN-gamma and, to a lesser extent, IFN-beta were synergistic with TNF in producing cytotoxic/cytostatic activity in HT-29 cells. Despite the inhibitory effect of IFN-beta on the IFN-gamma-induced stimulation of TNF receptor expression, IFN-beta did not inhibit the synergistic enhancement of TNF cytotoxicity by IFN-gamma in HT-29 cells. The dissociation between the effects of IFN-beta on TNF receptor expression and on the cytotoxic activity of TNF in HT-29 cells suggests that TNF receptor modulation is not a major mechanism of synergism between IFN and TNF.  相似文献

Human interleukin 1 is a cytocidal factor for several tumor cell lines   总被引:31,自引:0,他引:31  
Highly purified interleukin 1 (IL 1) obtained from stimulated human monocytes appeared to be growth inhibitory and cytocidal for a human melanoma cell line, A375. Although IL 1 did not have an immediate cytolytic effect, with time in culture the growth of the target cells was irreversibly inhibited. The cells eventually lysed and decreased markedly in number; the IL 1 effect can therefore be said to be cytocidal. IL 1 activity could not be separated from the cytocidal activity by a variety of chromatography procedures by using conventional and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The A375 melanoma cell line was also sensitive to another human cytokine alpha-lymphotoxin (alpha-LT) derived from a human B cell line. IL 1 also appeared to be partially growth inhibitory and cytocidal for a LT-sensitive mouse fibroblast cell line, L929; but not for LT-resistant cells, including a subline of L929; a human epithelial carcinoma cell line, HeLa; a human osteosarcoma cell line, HOS; and a mouse SV40-transformed kidney cell line, TU5. However, the LT-sensitive mouse fibroblast cell line, L-M, was resistant to IL 1. Therefore, the cytocidal activity of IL 1 only partially overlapped the target cell selectivity of alpha-LT. Although natural IFN-alpha and recombinant IFN-beta were appreciably growth inhibitory for the A375 cell line, natural and recombinant IFN-alpha and recombinant IFN-beta and IFN-gamma exhibited little cytocidal activity. Purified IL 1 did not have any antiviral activity, and conversely, IFN and alpha-LT were not co-mitogenic for thymocytes. Furthermore, by ELISA and radioimmunoassays, antibodies against human alpha-LT, tumor necrosis factor, and IFN-gamma did not react with IL 1, indicating that IL 1 is antigenically distinct from these other cytokines. These in vitro results suggest that IL 1 may play a role in host defense against some tumors as a cytocidal factor.  相似文献

Interferons, in addition to their antiviral activity, induce a multiplicity of effects on different cell types. Interferon (IFN)-gamma exerts a unique regulatory effect on cells of the mononuclear phagocyte lineage. To investigate whether the antiviral and antiproliferative effects of IFN-gamma in macrophages can be genetically dissociated, and whether IFN-alpha and IFN-gamma use the same cellular signals and/or effector mechanisms to achieve their biologic effects, we have derived a series of somatic cell genetic variants resistant to the antiproliferative and/or antiviral activities of IFN-gamma. Two different classes of variants were found: those resistant to the antiproliferative and antiviral effects of IFN-gamma against vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and those resistant to the antiproliferative effect, but protected against VSV and encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) lysis by IFN-gamma. In addition, a third class of mutants was obtained that was susceptible to the growth inhibitory activity, but resistant to the antiviral activity of IFN-gamma. Analysis of these mutants has provided several insights regarding the regulatory mechanisms of IFN-gamma and IFN-alpha on the murine macrophage cell lines. The antiproliferative activity of IFN-gamma on these cells, in contrast to that of IFN-alpha, is mediated by a cAMP-independent pathway. The antiproliferative and antiviral activities of IFN-gamma were genetically dissociated. Variants were obtained that are growth resistant but antivirally protected, or are growth inhibited but not antivirally protected against VSV or EMCV. The genetic analysis indicated that IFN-alpha and IFN-gamma regulate the induction of the dsRNA-dependent P1/eIF-2 alpha protein kinase and 2',5'-oligoadenylate synthetase enzymatic activities via different pathways. Finally, a unique macrophage mutant was obtained that was protected by IFN-gamma against infection by VSV, but not EMCV, suggesting that antiviral mechanisms involved in protection against these different types of RNA viruses must be distinct at some level.  相似文献

The antiviral and antiproliferative effects of highly purified Escherichia coli-derived human interferons (IFNs) were examined in human melanoma cells (Hs294T). Antiproliferative activity was monitored by measuring inhibition of cell multiplication, and antiviral activity was determined by inhibition of herpes simplex virus type 1 replication. Treatment of cells with IFN-gamma in combination with IFN-alpha A or IFN-beta 1 resulted in potentiation of both antiproliferative and antiviral activities. In contrast, combination treatments composed of IFN-alpha A and IFN beta 1 yielded inconsistent results. Some combinations reflected additive responses, whereas others were antagonistic. To examine correlations between IFN-induced biological activities and interactions of the different IFNs with cell surface receptors, in vivo [35S]methionine-labeled IFN-alpha A was prepared. Binding studies indicated the presence of 2,980 +/- 170 receptors per cell, each with an apparent Kd of (8.4 +/- 1.3) X 10(-11) M. Results from competitive binding studies suggested that Hs294T cells possess at least two types of IFN receptors: one which binds IFN-alpha A and IFN-beta 1 and another to which IFN-gamma binds.  相似文献

Gamma interferon (IFN-gamma)-mediated indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) activity in human astrocytoma cells and in native astrocytes was found to be responsible for the inhibition of herpes simplex virus replication. The effect is abolished in the presence of excess amounts of L-tryptophan. Both IFN-alpha and IFN-beta restricted herpes simplex virus replication in both cell types, but (in contrast to the results seen with IFN-gamma) the addition of an excess amount of L-tryptophan did not inhibit the induced antiviral effect.  相似文献

A role for alpha/beta interferon (IFN-alpha/beta) in the IFN-gamma antiviral response has long been suggested. Accordingly, possible roles for autocrine or double-stranded-RNA (dsRNA)-induced IFN-alpha/beta in the IFN-gamma response were investigated. Use was made of wild-type and a variety of mutant human fibrosarcoma cell lines, including mutant U5A cells, which lack a functional IFN-alpha/beta receptor and hence an IFN-alpha/beta response. IFN-gamma did not induce detectable levels of IFN-alpha/beta in any of the cell lines, nor was the IFN-gamma response per se dependent on autocrine IFN-alpha/beta. On the other hand, a number of responses to dsRNA [poly(I). poly(C)] and encephalomyocarditis virus were greatly enhanced by IFN-gamma pretreatment (priming) of wild-type cells or of mutant cells lacking an IFN-alpha/beta response; these include the primary induction of dsRNA-inducible mRNAs, including IFN-beta mRNA, and, to a lesser extent, the dsRNA-mediated activation of the p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase(s). IFN-gamma priming of mRNA induction by dsRNA is dependent on JAK1 and shows biphasic kinetics, with an initial rapid (<30-min) response being followed by a more substantial effect on overnight incubation. The IFN-gamma-primed dsRNA responses appear to be subject to modulation through the p38, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and ERK1/ERK2 MAP kinase pathways. It can be concluded that despite efficient priming of IFN-beta production, the IFN-alpha/beta pathways play no significant role in the primary IFN-gamma antiviral response in these cell-virus systems. The observed IFN-gamma priming of dsRNA responses, on the other hand, will likely play a significant role in combating virus infection in vivo.  相似文献

Recombinant human interferon gamma (rIFN-gamma) produced in Escherichia coli was labeled with 125I to study its binding to receptors of HeLa and lymphoblastoid cells. All the cell lines examined had receptors for rIFN-gamma, although the binding varied considerably among different cell lines. The binding of 125I-rIFN-gamma was competed up to 90% by the addition of unlabeled rIFN-gamma, although not by the addition of IFN-alpha or -beta. By adding increasing concentrations of unlabeled rIFN-gamma to binding assays containing a constant amount of 125I-rIFN-gamma, we determined a KD of 3.7 and 6.3 X 10(-10) M for its binding to Daudi and HeLa cells, respectively. About 13,000 receptors per cell were present in Daudi and 5,000 in HeLa cells. The Mr of the IFN-gamma/receptor complex was determined by cross-linking experiments to be about 125,000. This complex is smaller than the IFN-alpha/receptor complex that has a Mr of about 140,000. The rIFN-gamma receptor was down-regulated when HeLa cells were treated with this interferon, but not when these cells were treated with IFN-beta. These findings suggest that the receptors for IFN-alpha and -gamma differ in several characteristics. The turnover of the rIFN-gamma receptor was measured by inhibiting protein synthesis with cycloheximide and the half-life of this receptor was found to be 2 h. The unglycosylated rIFN-gamma was bound to cellular receptors with an affinity similar to that previously reported for natural IFN-gamma. The lymphoblastoid cell lines examined had high affinity receptors for rIFN-gamma, but did not respond to treatment with this IFN with an induction of the synthesis of the enzyme (2'-5')oligo(A) synthetase, whereas HeLa cells responded to rIFN-gamma. The reason for the lack of response of lymphoblastoid cells is presently unknown.  相似文献

In vivo evidence suggests that T-cell-derived gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) can directly inhibit the replication of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). However, IFN-gamma is a weak inhibitor of HSV-1 replication in vitro. We have found that IFN-gamma synergizes with the innate IFNs (IFN-alpha and -beta) to potently inhibit HSV-1 replication in vitro and in vivo. Treatment of Vero cells with either IFN-beta or IFN-gamma inhibits HSV-1 replication by <20-fold, whereas treatment with both IFN-beta and IFN-gamma inhibits HSV-1 replication by approximately 1,000-fold. Treatment with IFN-beta and IFN-gamma does not prevent HSV-1 entry into Vero cells, and the inhibitory effect can be overcome by increasing the multiplicity of HSV-1 infection. The capacity of IFN-beta and IFN-gamma to synergistically inhibit HSV-1 replication is not virus strain specific and has been observed in three different cell types. For two of the three virus strains tested, IFN-beta and IFN-gamma inhibit HSV-1 replication with a potency that approaches that achieved by a high dose of acyclovir. Pretreatment of mouse eyes with IFN-beta and IFN-gamma reduces HSV-1 replication to nearly undetectable levels, prevents the development of disease, and reduces the latent HSV-1 genome load per trigeminal ganglion by approximately 200-fold. Thus, simultaneous activation of IFN-alpha/beta receptors and IFN-gamma receptors appears to render cells highly resistant to the replication of HSV-1. Because IFN-alpha or IFN-beta is produced by most cells as an innate response to virus infection, the results imply that IFN-gamma secreted by T cells may provide a critical second signal that potently inhibits HSV-1 replication in vivo.  相似文献

Interferons are known to potentiate various biological effects of tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Recently, two different types of TNF receptors with molecular masses of 60 kDa (p60) and 80 kDa (p80), primarily expressed by epithelial cells and myeloid cells, respectively, have been identified. In the present report, we examined the effect of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) on each type of TNF receptor. Our results indicate that IFN-gamma induces TNF receptors on both myeloid (e.g. HL-60) and epithelial cells (e.g. HeLa). Furthermore, by using antibodies specific to each type of receptor, we demonstrate that both TNF receptors are equally inducible by IFN-alpha, IFN-beta and IFN-gamma. Thus, the increase in TNF receptors by interferons may play a role in their synergistic cellular response.  相似文献

A brief exposure (for 6 h) of U937 cells to interferon (IFN)-gamma (500 U/ml) followed by a long term incubation of cells in normal medium for 8 or more weeks resulted in the induction of cells that were refractory to the anticellular and differentiating effects of not only IFN-gamma but also IFN-alpha and IFN-beta at concentrations up to 10(4) U/ml. In addition, the cells became insensitive to the potent differentiating effect of the phorbol ester--tumor promoting agent (TPA). However, the resistant cells retained their sensitivity to the antiviral effect of different IFNs and were fullu responsive to the induction of endonuclease 2',5'-oligoadenylate (2-5A) synthetase by IFN. Furthermore, the resistant cell population appeared to be homogeneous because clones derived from single cells from this population all exhibited the same resistant phenotype to IFN and TPA. These results suggest that induction of resistant U937 cells may involve a dedifferentiation process which results in the formation of an immature cell population that do not respond to the differentiating and/or anticellular effects of various types of IFNs.  相似文献

Macrophages derived from human peripheral blood and cultured for 1 week were permissive for the replication of herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2. Low titers of interferon (IFN) were produced after virus infection. The yield of infectious virions was reduced by pretreatment of cells with natural and recombinant IFN-alpha and natural IFN-beta. Recombinant and natural IFN-gamma exhibited very low antiviral activity. Treatment of cells with IFN-gamma mixed with IFN-alpha or with IFN-beta did not result in a synergistic inhibition of virus yield. We studied the synthesis of HSV type 1- and HSV type 2-coded proteins in macrophages treated with IFN-beta. Induction of the HSV beta-protein DNA polymerase was strongly inhibited in IFN-treated cells in a dose-dependent manner. As shown by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, other beta- and gamma-proteins of HSV were inhibited as well. Immunofluorescence studies revealed a strong inhibition of the expression of immediate early alpha-protein ICP4. The results indicate that IFN acts early during the viral replication cycle to inhibit the synthesis of HSV alpha- and beta-proteins.  相似文献

We investigated whether various recombinant cytokines induce vascular hyperpermeability when intradermally injected into rats. Only TNF did so. Of the other cytokines examined (IL-1, IL-2, granulocyte-CSF, IFN-alpha, IFN-beta, IFN-gamma) none had this effect. The increase in vascular permeability was dose dependent, and the peak response was observed at 90 min after TNF injection. When mixtures of TNF and various other cytokines (IL-1, IL-2, granulocyte-CSF, IFN-alpha, IFN-beta, IFN-gamma) were injected, only IL-1 and IFN-gamma augmented TNF-induced vascular hyperpermeability, the increase occurring in a dose-dependent manner. The induction of vascular hyperpermeability by TNF and its enhancement by IL-1 and IFN-gamma were inhibited by selective depletion of peripheral blood neutrophils with i.p. administration of an anti-rat neutrophil mAb, RP-3. Reconstitution of neutrophils to the depleted rats by in situ injection of these cells, restored TNF increased vascular permeability.  相似文献

Incubation of several human tumor cell lines with human interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) increased the specific binding of subsequently added 125I-labeled recombinant human tumor necrosis factor (TNF). A similar increase in TNF binding was seen in murine L929 cells after incubation with murine IFN-gamma, but not after incubation with human IFN-gamma. Increased TNF binding to cells incubated with IFN-gamma was due to an increase in the number of TNF receptors, with no demonstrable change in binding affinity. In one out of two human cell lines tested, IFN-alpha and IFN-beta also produced increased TNF binding, albeit with a lower efficacy than IFN-gamma. A maximal increase in TNF binding was seen after about 6 to 12 hr of incubation with IFN. Increased TNF binding due to enhanced TNF receptor expression may contribute to the enhancement of TNF cytotoxicity seen in some tumor cell lines after INF treatment. Modulation of TNF receptor expression by IFN may also influence other biological activities of TNF.  相似文献

We examined the sensitivity of four human germ-cell-tumor cell lines exhibiting different stages of differentiation to human interferons (IFNs) in vitro. The cell lines were derived from two embryonal carcinomas (NEC 8 and NEC 14), a choriocarcinoma (IMa), and a yolk-sac tumor (HUOT). Treatment with poly I:C induced IFN production in IMa and HUOT cells, but not in NEC-8 and NEC-14 cells. In the two embryonal-carcinoma cell lines, the addition of IFN-alpha, IFN-beta, and IFN-gamma did not prevent infection by vesicular stomatitis virus and encephalomyocarditis virus. Also, in these two lines, 2-5A synthetase was not induced by the addition of IFN-alpha. In contrast, both IMa and HUOT showed sensitivity to the antiviral action of IFN-alpha and IFN-beta against the two viruses, and 2-5A synthetase was induced by IFN-alpha. IFNs added at doses of up to 1000 IU/ml had no antiproliferative effect on NEC 8, NEC 14, and HUOT, whereas colony formation by IMa cells was greatly suppressed by all three forms of IFN. These results indicate that the production of and sensitivity to IFN are developmentally regulated and are related to the level of differentiation of human germ-cell stem cells.  相似文献

HeLa cells show a decrease of susceptibility to the killing by natural killer (NK) cells when treated with IFN-alpha, beta, or gamma. The concentrations at which preparations of IFN-alpha or beta induce the resistance to killing are those which also induce resistance of HeLa cells to infection by vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Stimulation of the killing activity of NK cells is also induced at that same range of concentrations of IFN-alpha and beta. In contrast with preparations of IFN-gamma, induction of the resistance to killing occurs at IFN concentrations which have only marginal stimulatory effect on the activity of NK cells and have no antiviral effect against VSV. IFN-gamma, produced with cloned IFN-gamma cDNA, is as effective as lymphocyte-produced IFN in inducing the resistance to natural killing. The potent effect of IFN-gamma on the target cells is, therefore, not due to the function of lymphokines which might contaminate lymphocyte-produced preparations of IFN-gamma, but a genuine property of the IFN itself.  相似文献
