Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces interferon (IFN) secretion and an antiviral state in murine peritoneal macrophages (PM). These cells secrete predominantly IFN-beta, as shown by neutralization assays with monoclonal antibodies. Secretion of IFN-beta is also induced in PM by IFN-gamma. LPS and IFN-gamma synergistically stimulated PM to produce IFN in amounts almost comparable to those induced by infection with Newcastle disease virus. Low levels of IFN-beta mRNA can be detected in freshly harvested PM by hybridization assays. The accumulation of this mRNA is markedly increased in PM treated with LPS or IFN-gamma, and it is further enhanced in the presence of the inhibitor of protein synthesis, cycloheximide. Similar studies were carried out on the RAW 264.7 line of transformed macrophages. These cells are induced to secrete IFN-beta by LPS but not by IFN-gamma, suggesting that this cytokine may elicit such specific response only in PM. IFN-beta mRNA is undetectable in untreated RAW 264.7 cells, and accumulation of this mRNA is induced by LPS but not by IFN-gamma. The secretion of IFN induced by these agents in PM and by LPS in RAW 264.7 cells and the corresponding accumulation of IFN-beta mRNA are blocked by an inhibitor of protein kinase C, staurosporine. The activity of this kinase is apparently necessary to stimulate accumulation of IFN-beta mRNA. The induction of IFN-beta by IFN-gamma appears to be a characteristic response of PM and may be at least in part responsible for the resistance of these cells to viral infections. 相似文献

The action of some new MDP derivatives on functional activity of murine T-lymphocytes and macrophages was studied. The following tests have been used: proliferation of spleen cells in one-way allo-MLC; IL-1 and TNF production by peritoneal macrophages treated with the preparations. The most expressed enhancement of lymphocyte proliferative response in MLC has been exerted by beta C7H15 MDP and beta C16H33 MDP (stimulation indexes 31-69%). beta C7H15 MDP, beta C16H33 MDP and polyacrylamide-MDP (P-MDP) alone or in combination with LPS caused elevated secretion of IL-1 by macrophages. While beta C7H15 MDP was as active as MDP, beta C16H33 MDP and P-MDP manifested increased ability to stimulate IL-1 production in comparison with MDP. beta C7H15 MDP, beta C16H33 MDP, P-MDP and MDP induced similar level of TNF production by murine macrophages. However, simultaneous treatment of macrophages with beta C16H33 MDP and LPS resulted in more significant enhancement of TNF production than combination LPS + MDP. 相似文献

Bacterial DNA (CpG DNA) induces macrophage activation and the production of inflammatory mediators, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and nitric oxide (NO) by these cells. However, the role of bacterial DNA in the macrophage response to whole bacteria is unknown. We used overlapping strategies to estimate the relative contribution of bacterial DNA to the upregulation of TNF and NO production in macrophages stimulated with antibiotic-treated group B streptococci (GBS). Selective inhibitors of the bacterial DNA/TLR9 pathway (chloroquine, an inhibitory oligonucleotide, and DNase I) consistently inhibited GBS-induced TNF secretion by 35-50% in RAW 264.7 macrophages and murine splenic macrophages, but had no effect on inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) accumulation or NO secretion. Similarly, splenic and peritoneal macrophages from mice lacking TLR9 expression secreted 40% less TNF than macrophages from control mice after GBS challenge but accumulated comparable amounts of iNOS protein. Finally, studies in both RAW 264.7 cells and macrophages from TLR9-/- mice implicated GBS DNA in the upregulation of interleukins 6 (IL-6) and 12 (IL-12) but not interferon-beta (IFNbeta), a key intermediary in macrophage production of iNOS/NO. Our data suggest that the bacterial DNA/TLR9 pathway plays an important role in stimulating TNF rather than NO production in macrophages exposed to antibiotic-treated GBS, and that TLR9-independent upregulation of IFNbeta production by whole GBS may account for this difference. 相似文献

Previously, we demonstrated that rat macrophages express CD8 and that Ab to CD8 stimulates NO production. We confirm that CD8 is expressed by rat macrophages and extend understanding of its functional significance. Activation of CD8 alpha (OX8 Ab) on alveolar macrophages stimulated mRNA expression for TNF and IL-1 beta and promoted TNF and IL-1 beta secretion. Similarly, OX8 Ab (CD8 alpha) stimulated NR8383 cells to secrete TNF, IL-1 beta, and NO. Activation of CD8 beta (Ab 341) on alveolar macrophages increased mRNA expression for TNF and IL-1 beta and stimulated secretion of TNF, but not IL-1 beta. Interestingly, anti-CD8 Abs did not stimulate IFN-gamma or PGE2 production, or phagocytosis by macrophages. OX8 (CD8 alpha)-induced TNF and IL-1 beta production by macrophages was blocked by inhibitors of protein tyrosine kinase(s), PP1, and genistein, but not by phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase inhibitor, wortmannin. Moreover, OX8 stimulated protein tyrosine kinase activity in NR8383 cells. Further analysis of kinase dependence using antisense to Syk kinase demonstrated that TNF, but not IL-1 beta, stimulation by CD8 alpha is Syk dependent. By contrast, protein kinase C inhibitor Ro 31-8220 had no effect on OX8-induced TNF production, whereas OX8-induced IL-1 beta production was blocked by Ro 31-8220. Thus, there are distinct signaling mechanisms involved in CD8 alpha (OX8)-induced TNF and IL-1 beta production. In summary, macrophages express CD8 molecules that, when activated, stimulate TNF and IL-1 beta expression, probably through mechanisms that include activation of Src and Syk kinases and protein kinase C. These findings identify a previously unknown pathway of macrophage activation likely to be involved in host defense and inflammation. 相似文献

Stimulation of macrophage antibody-dependent killing of tumor targets by recombinant lymphokine factors and M-CSF 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) was investigated as a stimulator of ADCC to the murine R1.1 thymoma target by murine peritoneal exudate macrophages which were elicited by proteose peptone. Both an 125IUdR release and a viable cell count assay were used. The latter assay avoids radiation damage, and the fate of the targets can be determined over a long period. Pretreatment of macrophages for several days in culture with lymphokine (LK) from concanavalin A-induced mouse spleen cells moderately stimulated ADCC. Preincubation of macrophages with conventional or recombinant human M-CSF or immunoaffinity-purified mouse M-CSF alone had little effect. However, M-CSF greatly enhanced ADCC to the tumor target when used as a costimulant with LK, IFN-gamma, IFN-alpha, IFN-beta, or IL-2 to pretreat macrophages. Incubation of macrophages with LK or LK plus M-CSF for 2 days generated stronger ADCC than 1- or 3-day incubations. Enhancement of LK-stimulated ADCC by M-CSF appeared to plateau at about 1000 U/ml. The enhancement of macrophage cytotoxicity when stimulated with IFNs or IL-2 was most effective at the lowest active concentration of these LKs. At 1 U/ml IFN-gamma or IL-2, or 5 U/ml IFN-alpha or IFN-beta, M-CSF boosted ADCC activity to that using 10-fold of the LK alone. IL-1, IL-4, and TNF had little or no stimulating activity for ADCC alone or with M-CSF, and the other hemopoietic growth factors IL-3 and GM-CSF did not promote this effector function alone or with IFN-gamma. We previously showed that M-CSF boosted macrophage antibody-independent killing of TU5 sarcoma targets with or without LK (Cell. Immunol. 105, 270, 1987). These studies thus show that M-CSF is a positive regulator of both macrophage-nonspecific tumor lysis and ADCC. 相似文献

N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) a potent chemotactic peptide stimulates immune responses by activating macrophages and other cells of the immune system. The present study reports inhibition of fMLP-induced activation of murine peritoneal and P388D-1 macrophage cell line by protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors, H-7 and chelerythrine chloride. Similarly, tumoricidal activity was also downregulated by protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitors genestein and lavendustin A. Further, fMLP increased tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins in murine macrophages, which were inhibited in presence of genestein and lavendustin A. These findings suggest the involvement of PKC and PTK in the activation of murine macrophages with fMLP. 相似文献

Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases play a pivotal role in the macrophages in the production of proinflammatory cytokines triggered by lipopolysaccharides. However, their function in the responses of macrophages to Gram-positive bacteria is poorly understood. Even less is known about the attenuation of MAP kinase signaling in macrophages exposed to Gram-positive bacteria. In the present study, we have investigated the regulation of MAP kinases and the role of MAP kinase phosphatase (MKP)-1 in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines using murine RAW264.7 and primary peritoneal macrophages after peptidoglycan stimulation. Treatment of macrophages with peptidoglycan resulted in a transient activation of JNK, p38, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase. Most interestingly, MKP-1 expression was potently induced by peptidoglycan, and this induction was concurrent with MAP kinase dephosphorylation. Triptolide, a diterpenoid triepoxide, potently blocked the induction of MKP-1 by peptidoglycan and prolonged the activation of JNK and p38. Overexpression of MKP-1 substantially attenuated the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha induced by peptidoglycan, whereas knockdown of MKP-1 by small interfering RNA substantially increased the production of both TNF-alpha and interleukin-1 beta. Finally, we found that in primary murine peritoneal macrophages, MKP-1 induction following peptidoglycan stimulation also coincided with inactivation of JNK and p38. Blockade of MKP-1 induction resulted in a sustained activation of both JNK and p38 in primary macrophages. Our results reveal that MKP-1 critically regulates the expression of TNF-alpha and interleukin-1 beta in RAW264.7 cells and further suggest a central role for this phosphatase in controlling the inflammatory responses of primary macrophages to Gram-positive bacterial infection. 相似文献

Endotoxin-induced tumor necrosis factor (TNF): selective triggering of TNF and interleukin-1 production by distinct glucosamine-derived lipids 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The isolated lipid A of Bordetella pertussis endotoxin (LipA) has been found to induce in vitro release of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) by murine macrophages, albeit much less efficiently than does the intact lipopolysaccharide. Synthetic analogs (monosaccharides M4 and M6) of both glucosamine units present in the LipA backbone induced production of TNF by peritoneal macrophages of Swiss mice. Macrophages from A/J mice gave higher responses than those from Swiss mice, while those of C3H/HeJ mice were unresponsive. Enhancement of TNF secretion was observed for all cells if they were pretreated with a calcium ionophore, and no otherwise inactive substance became active with cells thus treated. For synthetic monosaccharide derivatives, a phosphate group on O-4 was not required for, and a phosphate group on O-1 abolished, the TNF-inducing activity. Synthetic monosaccharides, chemically closely related to substructures recognized to be present in isolated lipid A preparations, could induce either TNF or interleukin-1 (IL-1) production, but not both simultaneously: the monosaccharides M4 and M6 were active TNF inducers, but did not initiate IL-1 production, while the monosaccharides M9 and lipid X efficiently elicited IL-1 production, but did not trigger TNF secretion. It should be noted, however, that the active synthetic compounds are considerably less efficient TNF inducers as is the intact B. pertussis endotoxin. 相似文献

Mice infected with LP-BM5 murine leukemia virus (MuLV) develop a syndrome denoted as murine AIDS. Macrophages harvested from the peritoneal cavities of these mice at 4 or 9 wk postinoculation with LP-BM5 MuLV were analyzed by Northern hybridization for the presence of the defective LP-BM5 virus and their ability to synthesize various cytokines upon induction with Newcastle disease virus (NDV) or (LPS). Neither IFN-alpha or IFN-beta was found to be constitutively expressed in LP-BM5-infected macrophages and in NDV induction studies, and the levels of biologically active IFN-alpha and its mRNA were found to be lower in LP-BM5 MuLV-infected macrophages than in the macrophages from uninfected controls. Similarly, after NDV or LPS induction, the levels of TNF mRNA and TNF protein were significantly lower in LP-BM5-infected macrophages than in macrophages from uninfected mice. The LP-BM5 MuLV-infected macrophages constitutively expressed low levels of IL-1 beta, and when induced with LPS, the relative levels of IL-1 beta were significantly higher in infected than in uninfected macrophages. Although no constitutive expression of IL-6 was detected, the levels of IL-6 mRNA induced with NDV were higher in LP-BM5 MuLV-infected macrophages than in controls. Thus, we found alterations in the expression of selected cytokines in macrophages from mice inoculated with LP-BM5 MuLV rather than a general deregulation of all cytokine expression. These results show that macrophages infected with the defective LP-BM5 virus respond differently to NDV- or LPS-stimulation and suggest that aberrant expression of certain cytokine genes may play a role in the immunopathologic condition in mice with murine AIDS. 相似文献

IFN-alpha priming results in a gain of proinflammatory function by IL-10: implications for systemic lupus erythematosus pathogenesis 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Interleukin-10 is a predominantly anti-inflammatory cytokine that inhibits macrophage and dendritic cell function, but can acquire proinflammatory activity during immune responses. We investigated whether type I IFNs, which are elevated during infections and in autoimmune diseases, modulate the activity of IL-10. Priming of primary human macrophages with low concentrations of IFN-alpha diminished the ability of IL-10 to suppress TNF-alpha production. IFN-alpha conferred a proinflammatory gain of function on IL-10, leading to IL-10 activation of expression of IFN-gamma-inducible, STAT1-dependent genes such as IFN regulatory factor 1, IFN-gamma-inducible protein-10 (CXCL10), and monokine induced by IFN-gamma (CXCL9). IFN-alpha priming resulted in greatly enhanced STAT1 activation in response to IL-10, and STAT1 was required for IL-10 activation of IFN-gamma-inducible protein-10 and monokine induced by IFN-gamma expression in IFN-alpha-primed cells. In control, unprimed cells, IL-10 activation of STAT1 was suppressed by constitutive activity of protein kinase C and Src homology 2 domain-containing phosphatase 1. These results demonstrate that type I IFNs regulate the balance between IL-10 anti- and proinflammatory activity, and provide insight into molecular mechanisms that regulate IL-10 function. Gain of IL-10 proinflammatory functions may contribute to its pathogenic role in autoimmune diseases characterized by elevated type I IFN levels, such as systemic lupus erythematosus. 相似文献

IFN-kappa belongs to a recently identified subclass of type I IFNs. In this study, we report the cloning and preliminary characterization of the murine homologue of IFN-kappa. The gene encodes a 200-aa protein which is 38.5% homologous to human IFN-kappa. Murine IFN-kappa contains four cysteines in analogous positions to those observed in the IFN-alpha and an additional fifth unique cysteine, C174. The murine gene is located on chromosome 4, where other type I murine IFN genes, IFN-alpha and IFN-beta, are clustered. This region is syntenic with human chromosome 9 where the gene encoding IFN-kappa and the type I IFN gene cluster are found. Mouse IFN-kappa is expressed at low levels in peritoneal macrophages and its expression is up-regulated by dsRNA and IFN-gamma. Similar to previously reported transgenic mice carrying type I and type II IFNs, transgenic mice overexpressing murine IFN-kappa in the beta cells of the pancreas develop overt diabetes with hyperglycemia. Histological characterization of pancreatic islets from these transgenic mice showed inflammatory infiltrates with corresponding destruction of beta cells. 相似文献

Astrocytes have the ability to secrete colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1), a growth factor known to stimulate the proliferation of brain macrophages. We have studied the effect of cytokines such as interleukin 1 (IL-1), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha), and interleukin 6 (IL-6) on the production of CSF-1 by cultured primary astrocytes and an astrocytic cell line derived from embryonic mouse brain. We observed that both TNF alpha and IL-1 increased CSF-1 mRNA and protein levels in the astrocytic cultures. In contrast, IL-6 was ineffective. The CSF-1 mRNA levels were strongly reduced by incubating immortalized astrocytic cells with staurosporine, a protein kinase C inhibitor, both in the absence and in the presence of cytokines. Conversely, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate, a protein kinase C activator, increased CSF-1 mRNA levels. These results suggest a mechanism whereby mononuclear phagocytes could favor their own recruitment in the CNS by producing cytokines. 相似文献

Interleukin-10 (IL-10), a potent antiinflammatory and immunosuppressive cytokine, plays an important role in the regulation of immune responses. To discover small molecules that stimulate IL-10 production, a cell-based screening assay was performed using a murine macrophage cell line, RAW264.7. Imidocarb, (3,3'-bis-2-imidazolin-2-yl)-carbanilide, which has been used as an anti-protozoan drug for the prevention and treatment of babesiosis in cattle, was thus identified. Imidocarb markedly enhanced LPS-induced IL-10 production not only by RAW264.7 cells but also by murine peritoneal macrophages in a concentration-dependent manner. It also augmented IL-10 production in the presence of zymosan, a yeast cell wall component. In contrast, imidocarb inhibited LPS-induced tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha production by peritoneal macrophages. In mice, intraperitoneal administration of imidocarb significantly increased serum IL-10 levels and lowered TNF-alpha levels. Our results suggest that a novel anti-inflammatory property of imidocarb could lead to new therapeutic approaches in inflammatory conditions. 相似文献

Macrophages are integrated into adipose tissues and interact with adipocytes in obese subjects, thereby exacerbating adipose insulin resistance. This study aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying the insulin-sensitizing effect of the angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) valsartan, as demonstrated in clinical studies. Insulin signaling, i.e., insulin receptor substrate-1 and Akt phosphorylations, in 3T3-L1 adipocytes was impaired markedly by treatment with tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) or in the culture medium of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 murine macrophages, and valsartan had no effects on these impairments. However, in contrast, when cocultured with RAW 264.7 cells using a transwell system, the LPS-induced insulin signaling impairment in 3T3-L1 adipocytes showed almost complete normalization with coaddition of valsartan. Furthermore, valsartan strongly suppressed LPS-induced productions of cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and TNFα with nuclear factor-κB activation and c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase phosphorylation in RAW 264.7 and primary murine macrophages. Very interestingly, this effect of valsartan was also observed in THP-1 cells treated with angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) siRNA or a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) antagonist as well as macrophages from AT1a receptor-knockout mice. We conclude that valsartan suppresses the inflammatory response of macrophages, albeit not via PPARγ or the AT1a receptor. This suppression appears to secondarily improve adipose insulin resistance. 相似文献

Accumulation of Mx gene products in cells of patients and experimental animals has been recognized as a useful marker for detecting minute quantities of biologically active interferon (IFN). Goetschy et al. (J. Goetschy, H. Zeller, J. Content, and M. A. Horisberger, J. Virol. 63:2616-2622, 1989) reported that not only IFNs but also interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) were potent inducers of the human Mx genes. However, we observed no Mx induction in cultured human fibroblasts or in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells treated with various concentrations of IL-1 alpha or TNF-alpha. Mx induction was found in the spleens of mice treated with TNF-alpha or IL-1 alpha, but this effect could be neutralized with antibodies to murine IFN-alpha/beta. Of the other cytokines that we tested (IL-2, IL-6, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor), only IL-2 induced the Mx genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, but antibodies to human IFN-beta efficiently neutralized this effect. Our results thus indicate that IFNs are the only cytokines with intrinsic Mx-inducing activity. 相似文献

We have previously demonstrated that activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by phorbol esters induces selectively IgA synthesis by mouse B cells. In this study, we investigated the effects of a number of protein kinase inhibitors on IgA secretion induced by a recombinant murine IL-5 in LPS-stimulated mouse B cells. The results show that PKC inhibitors, such as sphingosine (SPH), staurosporine (STP) and H-7, blocked IL-5-induced IgA synthesis; the protein kinase A inhibitor HA-1004 and the inhibitor of calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase W-7 had no effect on IgA secretion induced by IL-5. The proliferation of the IL-5 sensitive B13 cell line in response to IL-5 was also inhibited by addition of SPH or STP or H-7. The data suggest an involvement of the PKC pathway in IL-5-induced B cell differentiation into IgA secreting cells. 相似文献

We previously demonstrated a marked upregulation in the bone morphogenic protein (BMP)/growth differentiation factor (GDF) family member, GDF5, which is capable of promoting brown adipogenesis, in brown adipose tissue (BAT) of obese mice. In this study, we identified other GDF family members, besides GDF5 that are responsive to different obesogenic signals in BAT using inborn and acquired obesity animal models. In BAT from leptin-deficient ob/ob mice, GDF1 expression was preferentially downregulated, whereas the expression of several other genes in the BMP/GDF family, including GDF5, was upregulated. Moreover, in cultured brown adipocytes exposed to tunicamycin and hydrogen peroxide, at concentrations not affecting cellular viability, GDF1 expression was significantly downregulated. Recombinant GDF1 failed to significantly alter brown adipogenesis, despite the promoted phosphorylation of Smad1/5/8 in cultured brown adipocytes, but accelerated Smad1/5/8 phosphorylation with a concomitant increase in the number of migrating cells during exposure in a manner sensitive to activin-like kinase inhibitors in macrophagic RAW264.7 cells. Similarly, accelerated migration was observed in murine peritoneal macrophages exposed to GDF1. These results indicate that obesity could lead to predominant downregulation of GDF1 expression in BAT, which can modulate cellular migration through a mechanism relevant to activation of the downstream Smad signaling pathway in adjacent macrophages. 相似文献
