The processing and release of 31-kDa proIL-1 beta to the mature 17-kDa form of IL-1 beta are still poorly understood. To help elucidate the mechanisms involved in IL-1 beta processing and release, we measured IL-1 beta forms released from endotoxin-stimulated monocytes by immunoprecipitation of [35S]methionine-labeled protein, by Western blots, and by our recently developed ELISA specific for proIL-1 beta. Our studies demonstrate that in addition to the 17-kDa mature IL-1 beta, IL-1 beta is also released as 31-, 28-, and 3-kDa molecules. The 31-kDa-released form of proIL-1 beta represented 20-40% of the total released IL-1 beta, as measured by SDS-PAGE with densitometry. This released proIL-1 beta was susceptible to ICE processing; however, this proIL-1 beta was not detectable by either a mature or proIL-1 beta-specific ELISA, suggesting that release induces a conformational change. The ELISA inability to detect proIL-1 beta was not due to inadequate sensitivity or subsequent degradation in the ELISA. Furthermore, while immunoaffinity-purified cytosolic proIL-1 beta could complex the type II IL-1R, released proIL-1 beta did not. Finally, the absence of a band shift in nondenaturing gel electrophoresis excluded proIL-1 beta binding to another protein. These findings imply that IL-1 beta is exported from monocytes as 3-, 17-, 28-, and 31-kDa forms and that the released 31-kDa form differs from cytosolic proIL-1 beta. 相似文献

IL-2 induction of IL-1 beta mRNA expression in monocytes. Regulation by agents that block second messenger pathways 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

We have previously shown that in mixed cultures of PBL incubation with human rIL-2 induces the rapid expression of IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta mRNA. Because studies have demonstrated that IL-2R can be expressed on the surface of human peripheral blood monocytes, we chose to investigate whether IL-1 beta mRNA could be directly induced in purified human monocytes by treatment with Il-2 and, if so, to analyze the second messenger pathways by which it may be controlled. Human monocytes do not spontaneously express IL-1 beta mRNA, but can express the gene as soon as 1 h after treatment with IL-2. The level of IL-1 beta mRNA induced by IL-2 at 5 h in human monocytes was about one-fourth that induced by LPS. LPS induction of IL-1 beta mRNA in human monocytes can be blocked by either an inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKc) 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine or an inhibitor of calcium/calmodulin (CaM) kinase N-(6-aminohexyl) 5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide, suggesting that both PKc and CaM kinase are involved in transducing signals initiated by LPS. In contrast, IL-2 induction of IL-1 beta mRNA expression is blocked only by 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine, suggesting that PKc, and not CaM kinase, is activated by IL-2. These data suggest that overlapping but distinct second messenger pathways are involved in the transduction of signals initiated by IL-2 and LPS. 相似文献

Monocytes and macrophages play a significant role in host's defense system, since they produce a number of cytokines in response to microbial infections. We have studied IL-1 beta, IL-18, IFN-alpha/beta, and TNF-alpha gene expression and protein production in human primary monocytes and GM-CSF-differentiated macrophages during influenza A and Sendai virus infections. Virus-infected monocytes released only small amounts of IL-1 beta or IL-18 protein, whereas 7- and 14-day-old GM-CSF-differentiated macrophages readily produced these cytokines. Constitutive expression of proIL-18 was seen in monocytes and macrophages, and the expression of it was enhanced during monocyte/macrophage differentiation. Expression of IL-18 mRNA was clearly induced only by Sendai virus, whereas both influenza A and Sendai viruses induced IL-1 beta mRNA expression. Since caspase-1 is known to cleave proIL-1 beta and proIL-18 into their mature, active forms, we analyzed the effect of a specific caspase-1 inhibitor on virus-induced IL-1 beta and IL-18 production. The release of IL-1 beta and IL-18, but not that of IFN-alpha/beta or TNF-alpha, was clearly blocked by the inhibitor. Our results suggest that the cellular differentiation is a crucial factor that affects the capacity of monocytes/macrophages to produce IL-1 beta and IL-18 in response to virus infections. Furthermore, the virus-induced activation of caspase-1 is required for the efficient production of biologically active IL-1 beta and IL-18. 相似文献

ATP acts as an agonist to promote stimulus-induced secretion of IL-1 beta and IL-18 in human blood 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Cultured monocytes and macrophages stimulated with LPS produce large quantities of proIL-1beta, but release little mature cytokine to the medium. The efficiency at which the procytokine is converted to its active 17-kDa species and released extracellularly is enhanced by treating cytokine-producing cells with a secretion stimulus such as ATP or nigericin. To determine whether this need for a secretion stimulus extends to blood, individual donors were bled twice daily for 4 consecutive days, and the collected blood samples were subjected to a two-step IL-1 production assay. LPS-activated blood samples generated cell-free IL-1beta, but levels of the extracellular cytokine were greatly increased by subsequent treatment with ATP or nigericin. Specificity and concentration requirements of the nucleotide triphosphate effect suggests a P2X(7) receptor involvement. Quantities of IL-1beta generated by an individual donor's blood in response to the LPS-only and LPS/ATP stimuli were relatively consistent over the 4-day period. Between donors, consistent differences in cytokine production capacity were observed. Blood samples treated with ATP also demonstrated enhanced IL-18 production, but TNF-alpha levels decreased. Among leukocytes, monocytes appeared to be the most affected cellular targets of the ATP stimulus. These studies indicate that an exogenous stimulus is required by blood for the efficient production of IL-1beta and IL-18, and suggest that circulating blood monocytes constitutively express a P2X(7)-like receptor. 相似文献

The interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) beta chain (IL-2R beta) is an essential signaling component of high- and intermediate-affinity IL-2Rs. Our laboratory previously reported that a DNA fragment containing 857 bp of 5'-flanking sequence of the human IL-2R beta gene exhibited promoter activity. We have now further characterized the promoter and delineated cis-acting regulatory regions. The region downstream of -363 is critical for basal and phorbol myristate acetate-inducible IL-2R beta promoter activity and contains at least three enhancer-like regions. Among them, the -56 to -34 enhancer was the most potent and had high-level activity in two T-cell lines but not in nonlymphoid HeLaS3 and MG63 cells. This enhancer contains a GGAA Ets binding site which bound two Ets family proteins, Ets-1 and GA-binding protein in vitro. Mutation of the Ets motif strongly diminished both promoter and enhancer activities. We conclude that this Ets binding site plays a key role in regulating basal and phorbol myristate acetate-inducible IL-2R beta promoter activity and may also contribute to tissue-specific expression of the IL-2R beta gene. 相似文献

The interleukin-1 (IL-1) alpha and beta precursor proteins are processed and released from several cell types in the absence of a canonical signal peptide. To gain some insight into the mechanisms that allow the production of IL-1 alpha and beta, we have investigated by immunoprecipitation the synthesis, their release and processing in a promyeloblastic cell line of tumoral origin, U937, and in peripheral blood monocytes. We show that U937 monocytic cells, on induction with a tumor-promoting agent, synthesize and release into the culture medium proIL-1 beta but do not process it. Similarly, peripheral blood monocytes left in adherence for 24 h or longer, prior to addition of lipopolysaccharide, synthesize and release proIL-1 alpha and beta without detectable processing of either cytokine. Processing and release of IL-1 alpha and beta by peripheral blood monocytes can be observed when monocytes are left to adhere for periods less than 15 h before lipopolysaccharide addition. IL-1 alpha and beta show similar kinetics of release from the cells, suggesting the existence of a common mechanism regulating their secretion. Since peripheral blood monocytes left in adherence in the presence of lipopolysaccharide differentiate into macrophages, we conclude that release and processing of IL-1 can occur independently and that processing depends on the stage of differentiation of monocytes, i.e. only the monocytes at an early stage of differentiation produce 17-kDa IL-1 alpha and beta. 相似文献

Interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta), a secretory protein lacking a signal peptide, does not follow the classical endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi pathway of secretion. Here we provide the evidence for a "leaderless" secretory route that uses regulated exocytosis of preterminal endocytic vesicles to transport cytosolic IL-1beta out of the cell. Indeed, although most of the IL-1beta precursor (proIL-1beta) localizes in the cytosol of activated human monocytes, a fraction is contained within vesicles that cofractionate with late endosomes and early lysosomes on Percoll density gradients and display ultrastructural features and markers typical of these organelles. The observation of organelles positive for both IL-1beta and the endolysosomal hydrolase cathepsin D or for both IL-1beta and the lysosomal marker Lamp-1 further suggests that they belong to the preterminal endocytic compartment. In addition, similarly to lysosomal hydrolases, secretion of IL-1beta is induced by acidotropic drugs. Treatment of monocytes with the sulfonylurea glibenclamide inhibits both IL-1beta secretion and vesicular accumulation, suggesting that this drug prevents the translocation of proIL-1beta from the cytosol into the vesicles. A high concentration of extracellular ATP and hypotonic medium increase secretion of IL-1beta but deplete the vesicular proIL-1beta content, indicating that exocytosis of proIL-1beta-containing vesicles is regulated by ATP and osmotic conditions. 相似文献

We have investigated the sequence requirements for induction of the human c-fos gene by epidermal growth factor (EGF), 12-O-tetradecanoyl-13-acetate (TPA), and the calcium ionophore A23187 by transfecting c-fos promoter mutants into HeLa and A431 cells. Induction by both EGF and TPA in HeLa cells required the presence of the c-fos enhancer located at -317 to -298 relative to the mRNA cap site. A23187, however, did not induce expression of the transfected gene, even though it strongly induced expression of the endogenous gene, suggesting that it has different requirements for induction than do EGF and TPA. We have also investigated the role of promoter sequences downstream of the enhancer in general expression and induction of c-fos. A sequence between -97 and -76, which includes an 8-base-pair perfect direct repeat, was needed for efficient general expression but not for induction of the gene. A factor in nuclear extracts that bound specifically to this sequence was detected by a gel mobility shift assay. A 7-base-pair sequence, located between -63 and -57 relative to the mRNA cap site and previously shown to be important for general expression of mouse c-fos, was also important for general expression of the human gene. In addition, this element was important for inducibility by EGF and TPA, since induction was significantly reduced when internal deletion mutants that retained the enhancer but lacked the -63 to -57 sequence element were analyzed in transfecting assays. 相似文献

Lipopolysaccharide and interleukin 1 inhibit interferon-gamma-induced Fc receptor expression on human monocytes 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

The objectives of these studies were to study the effects of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma)-induced Fc receptor expression on human monocytes and to examine whether these effects were mediated through stimulation of interleukin 1 (IL-1) production. Fc receptor expression was determined by binding of monomeric monoclonal murine immunoglobulin (Ig)G2a and cytofluorographic analysis. IL-1 activity in monocyte supernatants and lysates was assayed by augmentation of mitogen-induced murine thymocyte proliferation. IFN-gamma induced the expression of Fc receptors on human monocytes that were specific for murine IgG2a. This induction was inhibited by the addition of LPS in amounts as low as 2 to 8 pg/ml. LPS inhibition of IFN-gamma-induced Fc receptor expression was paralleled by the appearance of IL-1 in monocyte lysates and supernatants. The addition of purified human or recombinant IL-1 beta at the initiation of culture similarly inhibited the expression of IFN-gamma-induced Fc receptors on the monocytes. LPS also inhibited Fc receptor expression on the human myelomonocytic cell line THP-1 after induction with IFN-gamma or phorbol myristate acetate alone or with both agents together. This inhibition also was paralleled by the production of IL-1 but the addition of exogenous IL-1 to the THP-1 cells had no effect on IFN-gamma-induced Fc receptor expression. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibited IFN-gamma-induced Fc receptor expression on human monocytes but was much less potent than comparable amounts of IL-1. TNF also did not inhibit Fc receptor expression on THP-1 cells. In fact, IL-1 or TNF led to an enhancement in IFN-gamma-induced Fc receptor expression on THP-1 cells. These results indicate that LPS can inhibit IFN-gamma-induced Fc receptor expression on human monocytes and that IL-1 and TNF may mediate these effects of LPS. Thus, an autocrine or paracrine role is suggested for these cytokines. The possibility exists that intracellular IL-1 resulting from LPS stimulation may be at least in part responsible for inhibition of Fc receptor expression. 相似文献
