Thioglycollate-elicited macrophages (m phi), upon binding the lectin Griffonia simplicifolia IB4 (GSIB4) at the plasma membrane, are induced to secrete several low molecular weight proteins. In this investigation, results from specific ELISA and immunoprecipitation analysis of these molecules confirmed that the cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), belongs to the group of elicited proteins. This specific m phi response is directly influenced by the dose of GSIB4 used and the time in contact with the cells. At 40 micrograms/ml GSIB4, the maximum dose of lectin used, the m phi activity was equal to that achieved when the cells were incubated with an interferon-gamma/lipopolysaccharide (IFN/LPS) stimulus alone. Moreover, the data showed that TNF-mediated tumoricidal activity was significantly influenced by GSIB4 binding to the m phi membrane. When the lectin was incubated alone or in sequence with IFN/LPS, this ligand-receptor binding promoted the lysis of WEHI 164 tumor target cells. However, concurrent incubation of both IFN/LPS and GSIB4 with m phi significantly diminished the tumoricidal response. This suggested that one of the metabolic pathways utilized subsequent to receptor-ligand binding was altered by these interactions. When cyclic AMP (cAMP) and inositol triphosphate (IP3) levels were examined, the results showed that the concentration of cAMP was unchanged despite the fact that IP3 levels were significantly enhanced upon m phi-GSIB4 binding. Collectively, the data show that GSIB4 binding to specific glycoproteins in the m phi membrane induces TNF-alpha production and facilitates TNF-alpha dependent tumoricidal responses. It also appears that the transduction of the signal, in part, at least utilizes the phosphatidyl inositol pathway. Finally, it is noteworthy that m phi activity is influenced by the sequence in which GSIB4 is presented to the m phi relative to the IFN/LPS treatment. 相似文献

We previously showed that viable Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) bacilli contain distinct ligands that activate cells via the mammalian Toll-like receptor (TLR) proteins TLR2 and TLR4. We now demonstrate that expression of a dominant negative TLR2 or TLR4 proteins in RAW 264.7 macrophages partially blocked Mtb-induced NF-kappa B activation. Coexpression of both dominant negative proteins blocked virtually all Mtb-induced NF-kappa B activation. The role of the TLR4 coreceptor MD-2 was also examined. Unlike LPS, Mtb-induced macrophage activation was not augmented by overexpression of ectopic MD-2. Moreover, cells expressing an LPS-unresponsive MD-2 mutant responded normally to Mtb. We also observed that the lipid A-like antagonist E5531 specifically inhibited TLR4-dependent Mtb-induced cellular responses. E5531 could substantially block LPS- and Mtb-induced TNF-alpha production in both RAW 264.7 cells and primary human alveolar macrophages (AM phi). E5531 inhibited Mtb-induced AM phi apoptosis in vitro, an effect that was a consequence of the inhibition of TNF-alpha production by E5531. In contrast, E5531 did not inhibit Mtb-induced NO production in RAW 264.7 cells and AM phi. Mtb-stimulated peritoneal macrophages from TLR2- and TLR4-deficient animals produced similar amounts of NO compared with control animals, demonstrating that these TLR proteins are not required for Mtb-induced NO production. Lastly, we demonstrated that a dominant negative MyD88 mutant could block Mtb-induced activation of the TNF-alpha promoter, but not the inducible NO synthase promoter, in murine macrophages. Together, these data suggest that Mtb-induced TNF-alpha production is largely dependent on TLR signaling. In contrast, Mtb-induced NO production may be either TLR independent or mediated by TLR proteins in a MyD88-independent manner. 相似文献

Summary In the present study unstimulated and stimulated human blood monocytes, untreated and phorbol ester treated U-937 cells, as well as human peritoneal and alveolar macrophages were studied with respect to their surface membrane properties. Binding of different lectins and electrophoretic patterns of tritium labeled surface glycoproteins were compared. The analysis of surface glycoproteins could be interpreted as evidence for a common origin of the analysed cell populations. Furthermore, banding patterns of glycoproteins might be useful to define certain activation states within monocyte/macrophage differentiation. In contrast, lectin binding pattern did not clearly discriminate macrophage subpopulations.Abbreviations AM

Peritoneal macrophages (PM) of Wistar rats harvested after the intraperitoneal injection of paraffin oil were destroyed by repeated freezing-thawing. When injected intratracheally to control rats or to those after 4 daily exposured to TiO2 dust, these macrophage destruction products (MDP) caused a significant rise of both the alveolar macrophages (AM) and the neutrophilic leukocytes (NL) counts in the pulmonary washing-outs; the mean NL/AM ratio increased several times as compared to rats injected with normal saline intratracheally. Thus, the response to the inert dust particles plus the exogenous MDP became similar to the one observed after the cytotoxic (for instance silica) particles inhalation. Enhancing the NL contribution to the inhaled particles phagocytosis, the MDP led to a significant decrease of the mean "Dust load" of a single AM, although the total number of the engulfed particles increased. The predominant attraction of granulocytes and particularly of the NL as compared to the peritoneal macrophages was also found in the peritoneal exudates of rats injected with the MDP or silica suspension intraperitoneally, while the alveolar phagocytosis was not influenced. In vitro the MDP was shown to stimulate the NL migration and to facilitate the O2 consumption by PM. A possible role of the MDP as a multipotent controlling factor of phagocytosis response is briefly discussed. 相似文献

Tumor necrosis factor production in HIV-seropositive subjects. Relationship with lung opportunistic infections and HIV expression in alveolar macrophages 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

We have evaluated the TNF production by alveolar macrophages (AM) in 43 HIV-infected subjects in relation with 1) their clinical and biologic status; 2) the presence of lung opportunistic infections (OI); and 3) the expression of HIV by AM. This production was assessed in a standard chromium release test, using monocytic U937 cells as targets. The spontaneous TNF production by AM from patients without lung OI was higher than that from seronegative controls (p less than 0.02). This production by AM was similar to that of blood monocytes, suggesting that it was not related, in these subjects, to any particular lung status. The extent of TNF release by AM was correlated to the presence of a lymphocytic alveolitis (p less than 0.05), and not to the patients' clinical presentation nor to their CD4 cell count. Finally, AM from these subjects could be normally stimulated in vitro by IFN-gamma. On the other hand, it appeared that the spontaneous TNF release by AM shown in vitro to express HIV (p24+ AM) was significantly higher than that by their p24- counterparts (p less than 0.05) and by controls (p less than 0.01). In addition, contrasting with the marked increase of TNF release by p24- AM after their stimulation with IFN-gamma (p less than 0.001), p24+ AM appeared to be refractory to any stimulation by IFN, arguing for their activation in vivo. Finally, the spontaneous TNF release by AM was significantly increased during lung OI, compared with controls (p less than 0.01) as well as with AIDS patients without OI (p less than 0.01). In addition, the production of TNF by AM in these subjects was higher than that by the corresponding blood monocytes (p less than 0.02), suggesting a compartmentalization of this response within the lungs. In conclusion, it appears that the TNF production by AM of seropositive patients is highly related to the presence of lung OI as well as to the expression of HIV by these cells. In the context of the up-regulation of HIV expression induced by TNF in vitro, our data could suggest that the in vivo release of TNF by AM could participate in viral dissemination. Moreover, we hypothesize that the generation of activated AM refractory to any further stimulation could in turn lead to the development of additional pulmonary infections. 相似文献

Alveolar macrophages (AM) play a key role in clearing atmospheric particulates from the lung surface and stimulating epithelial cells to produce proinflammatory mediators. The present study examines the role of "acute response" cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta released by AM exposed to ambient particulate matter with a diameter of <10 microm (PM(10)) in amplifying the proinflammatory mediator expression by A549 cells and human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC). The results showed that supernatants from human AM incubated 24 h with PM(10) (100 microg/ml) contained more TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor, IL-6, and IL-8 than nonexposed AM supernatants. The 3-h treatment of A549 cells with PM(10)-exposed AM supernatants increased TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-8, regulated on activation normal T-cells expressed and secreted (RANTES), and leukemia inhibitory factor mRNA compared with the treatment with nonexposed AM supernatants and, compared with untreated A549 cells, additionally increased ICAM-1 and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 mRNA. Preincubating PM(10)-exposed AM supernatants with anti-IL-1 beta antibodies reduced all the above mediators as well as VEGF mRNA expression (P < 0.05), while anti-TNF-alpha antibodies were less effective (P > 0.05), and the combination of the two antibodies most effective. When HBEC were treated similarly, anti-TNF-alpha antibodies had the greatest effect. In A549 cells PM(10)-exposed AM supernatants increased NF-kappa B, activator protein (AP)-1 and specificity protein 1 binding, while anti-TNF-alpha and anti-IL-1 beta antibodies reduced NF-kappa B and AP-1 binding. We conclude that AM-derived TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta provide a major stimulus for the production of proinflammatory mediators by lung epithelial cells and that their relative importance may depend on the type of epithelial cell target. 相似文献

In vivo and in vitro activation of alveolar macrophages by recombinant interferon-gamma 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17

In vivo administration of recombinant interferon-gamma (rIFN-gamma) was previously shown to result in activation of the microbicidal activities of peritoneal macrophages (PM phi). Because macrophages at different anatomical sites vary in their functional capacities, we considered it of interest to determine whether administration of murine rIFN-gamma, either in vitro or in vivo, can enhance the microbicidal activity of resident alveolar macrophages (AM phi) and to compare the effects of rIFN-gamma on AM phi and PM phi. After incubation in vitro with rIFN-gamma, the antimicrobial activities of both murine AM phi and PM phi were enhanced, as assessed by their ability to inhibit replication of the intracellular parasite, Toxoplasma gondii. This effect was dose dependent for AM phi over a range of 0.1 to 1 U/ml and for PM phi over a range of 0.5 to 1000 U/ml. In this assay, the minimum dosage required for in vitro activation of AM phi was one-half that required for activation of PM phi, suggesting a greater sensitivity of AM phi to the in vitro activity of rIFN-gamma. Macrophages from both anatomical sites were also activated when rIFN-gamma was administered in vivo. This effect was dose dependent over a range of 10(3) to 10(5) U/mouse. Freshly harvested AM phi and PM phi from mice injected 24 hr earlier with 10(4) U rIFN-gamma by either the i.v. or i.p. routes markedly inhibited intracellular multiplication of Toxoplasma. In contrast, AM phi and PM phi from control mice permitted fourfold to ninefold increases in numbers of intracellular Toxoplasma. The anti-toxoplasma activity of AM phi and PM phi gradually diminished over a period of 3 days when assayed at successive 24 hr periods after a single i.v. injection of rIFN-gamma. At 3 days after injection, a substantial loss of anti-toxoplasma activity was observed with PM phi as compared with controls; residual anti-toxoplasma activity was still demonstrable in AM phi at 3 days. These results demonstrate that in vitro as well as in vivo treatment with rIFN-gamma confers on AM phi an enhanced antimicrobial activity. These findings provide a rationale for evaluating rIFN-gamma in the treatment of pulmonary infections, especially those due to opportunistic pathogens against which AM phi play a major role in host defense. 相似文献

Hereditary properdin deficiency is linked to susceptibility to meningococcal disease (Neisseria meningitidis serotypes Y and W-135) with high mortality. Its relative contribution toward the outcome of nonseptic shock has not been investigated. Using properdin-deficient C57BL/6 mice and their littermates, this study examines their survival of zymosan-induced and LPS-induced shock. Properdin-deficient mice were more resistant to zymosan shock compared with wild-type mice, which showed greater impairment of end-organ function 24 h after zymosan injection, higher TNF-alpha production by alveolar and peritoneal macrophages, higher TNF-alpha, and, inversely, lower IL-10 levels in peritoneal lavage and circulation and higher plasma C5a levels. Properdin-deficient mice showed significantly higher mortality in LPS shock, elevated TNF-alpha, and, inversely, reduced IL-10 production by peritoneal macrophages as well as lower plasma C5a levels compared with wild-type littermates. NO production by peritoneal macrophages and plasma alpha1-antitrypsin levels at 24 h after the injection of LPS or zymosan were decreased in properdin-deficient mice in both models, and fewer histopathologic changes in liver were observed in properdin-deficient animals. This study provides evidence that properdin deficiency attenuates zymosan-induced shock and exacerbates LPS-induced shock. 相似文献

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor in the innate immune response to Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in mice 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Innate immunity plays an important role in pulmonary host defense against Pneumocystis carinii, an important pathogen in individuals with impaired cell-mediated immunity. We investigated the role of GM-CSF in host defense in a model of P. carinii pneumonia induced by intratracheal inoculation of CD4-depleted mice. Lung GM-CSF levels increased progressively during the infection and were significantly greater than those in uninfected controls 3, 4, and 5 wk after inoculation. When GM-CSF gene-targeted mice (GM-/-) depleted of CD4+ cells were inoculated with P. carinii, the intensities of infection and inflammation were increased significantly compared with those in CD4-depleted wild-type mice. In contrast, transgenic expression of GM-CSF directed solely in the lungs of GM-/- mice (using the surfactant protein C promoter) dramatically decreased the intensity of infection and inflammation 4 wk after inoculation. The concentrations of surfactant proteins A and D were greater in both uninfected and infected GM-/- mice compared with those in wild-type controls, suggesting that this component of the innate response was preserved in the GM-/- mice. However, alveolar macrophages (AM) from GM-/- mice demonstrated impaired phagocytosis of purified murine P. carinii organisms in vitro compared with AM from wild-type mice. Similarly, AM production of TNF-alpha in response to P. carinii in vitro was totally absent in AM from GM-/- mice, while GM-CSF-replete mice produced abundant TNF in this setting. Thus, GM-CSF plays a critical role in the inflammatory response to P. carinii in the setting of impaired cell-mediated immunity through effects on AM activation. 相似文献

Alveolar macrophages differ from blood monocytes in human IL-1 beta release. Quantitation by enzyme-linked immunoassay 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Fresh human alveolar macrophages and blood monocytes were stimulated with LPS and assessed for their ability to produce and release antigenic IL-1 beta. Using a sensitive and specific ELISA for IL-1 beta, monocytes released 13.3 +/- 3.1 ng/10(6) cells compared to 3.5 +/- 0.8 ng/10(6) cells for alveolar macrophages (p less than 0.01). To investigate the reason for this difference in IL-1 beta release, monocytes were compared to alveolar macrophages for total IL-1 beta production (i.e., the amount released plus that detected in the lysates). Monocytes produced a total of 19.0 +/- 3.2 ng/10(6) cells whereas alveolar macrophages produced 24.8 +/- 5.6 ng/10(6) cells (p = 0.37). The relative increase in alveolar macrophage intracellular IL-1 beta was confirmed by Western blot analysis of cell lysates. Thus, the limitation in IL-1 release from alveolar macrophages appears to be due to a decrease in the processing and release of the IL-1 beta precursor. In addition, TNF production studies demonstrated that the limitation in IL-1 release was not a generalized defect. In contrast to the IL-1 beta data, when TNF was measured from monocytes and macrophages, monocytes released only 14.6 +/- 3.4 ng/10(6), whereas macrophages released 101 +/- 30 ng/10(6) (p less than 0.02). In this same context, when fresh monocytes were allowed to mature in vitro they took on monokine production characteristics similar to alveolar macrophages. In vitro matured monocytes had a greater than 20-fold decrease in their ability to release IL-1 beta and a 6- to 8-fold increase in their ability to release TNF. Taken together, these studies suggest that IL-1 beta release is limited in mature mononuclear phagocytes as compared to fresh blood monocytes, and furthermore, that IL-1 beta regulation differs significantly from that of TNF-alpha. 相似文献

Mononuclear phagocytes are among the first immune cells activated after pathogens invasion. Although they all derive from the same progenitor in the bone marrow, their characteristics differ on the compartment from which they are derived. In this work, we investigated the contribution of phagocytosis for tumor necrosis factor (TNF) production by murine mononuclear phagocytes (monocytes, peritoneal and alveolar macrophages) in response to heat-killed Staphylococcus aureus (HKSA). Mononuclear phagocytes behaved differently, depending on their compartment of residence. Indeed, when bacterial uptake or phagosome maturation was blocked, activation through membrane receptors was sufficient for a maximal production of TNF and interleukin-10 by peritoneal macrophages. In contrast, monocytes, and to a lesser extent alveolar macrophages, required phagocytosis for optimal cytokine production. While investigating the different actors of signalization, we found that p38 kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase were playing an important role in HKSA phagocytosis and TNF production. Furthermore, blocking the α(5)β(1)-integrin significantly decreased TNF production in response to HKSA in all three cell types. Finally, using mononuclear phagocytes from NOD2 knockout mice, we observed that TNF production in response to HKSA was dependent on NOD2 for monocytes and peritoneal macrophages. In conclusion, we demonstrate that the mechanisms of activation leading to TNF production in response to HKSA are specific for each mononuclear phagocyte population and involve different recognition processes and signaling pathways. The influence of the compartments on cell properties and behavior should be taken into account, to better understand cell physiology and host-pathogen interaction, and to define efficient strategies to fight infection. 相似文献

Highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) of the subtype H5N1 causes severe, often fatal pneumonia in humans. The pathogenesis of HPAIV H5N1 infection is not completely understood, although the alveolar macrophage (AM) is thought to play an important role. HPAIV H5N1 infection of macrophages cultured from monocytes leads to high percentages of infection accompanied by virus production and an excessive pro-inflammatory immune response. However, macrophages cultured from monocytes are different from AM, both in phenotype and in response to seasonal influenza virus infection. Consequently, it remains unclear whether the results of studies with macrophages cultured from monocytes are valid for AM. Therefore we infected AM and for comparison macrophages cultured from monocytes with seasonal H3N2 virus, HPAIV H5N1 or pandemic H1N1 virus, and determined the percentage of cells infected, virus production and induction of TNF-alpha, a pro-inflammatory cytokine. In vitro HPAIV H5N1 infection of AM compared to that of macrophages cultured from monocytes resulted in a lower percentage of infected cells (up to 25% vs up to 84%), lower virus production and lower TNF-alpha induction. In vitro infection of AM with H3N2 or H1N1 virus resulted in even lower percentages of infected cells (up to 7%) than with HPAIV H5N1, while virus production and TNF-alpha induction were comparable. In conclusion, this study reveals that macrophages cultured from monocytes are not a good model to study the interaction between AM and these influenza virus strains. Furthermore, the interaction between HPAIV H5N1 and AM could contribute to the pathogenicity of this virus in humans, due to the relative high percentage of infected cells rather than virus production or an excessive TNF-alpha induction. 相似文献

Cellular signaling by TNF-alpha is mediated through activation of mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinases. In particular, p38 MAP kinase is activated in mononuclear phagocytes and may be important in sustaining TNF-alpha activity. Here, we compared the activation and mutual regulation of p38 MAP kinase and TNF-alpha by MTB in human alveolar macrophages (AM) and blood monocytes (MN). AM and autologous MN were prepared, and stimulated by MTB at 1:1 (bacteria/cell). MAP kinase activation was assessed by immunoprecipitation and kinase activity. TNF-alpha mRNA was assessed by real-time RT-PCR, and TNF-alpha immunoreactivity was assessed by ELISA. MTB-induced p38MAP kinase rapidly in AM as compared to MN, and inhibition of p38 MAP kinase by SB203580 reduced both TNF-alpha mRNA and protein. Activation of ERK (1/2) by MTB followed similar kinetics in both AM and MN. TNF-alpha produced by MTB sustained p38 MAP kinase activation in MN only. These data suggest that interaction of resident pulmonary macrophages and the more immature MN with MTB differ with regard to both p38 MAP kinase activation and TNF-alpha expression. 相似文献

Alveolar macrophage-derived cytokines induce monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 expression from human pulmonary type II-like epithelial cells 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19

Many acute and chronic lung diseases are characterized by the presence of increased numbers of activated macrophages. These macrophages are derived predominantly from newly recruited peripheral blood monocytes and may play a role in the amplification and perpetuation of an initial lung insult. The process of inflammatory cell recruitment is poorly understood, although the expression of inflammatory cell-specific chemoattractants and subsequent generation of chemotactic gradients is likely involved. Although immune cells such as macrophages and lymphocytes are known to generate several inflammatory cell chemoattractants, parenchymal cells can also synthesize and secrete a number of bioactive factors. We now demonstrate the generation of significant monocyte chemotactic activity from tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and interleukin (IL)-1 beta-treated pulmonary type II-like epithelial cells (A549). The predominant inducible monocyte chemotaxin had an estimated molecular mass of approximately 14-15 kDa and was neutralized by specific antibody to human monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1). Induction of activity was accompanied by increases in steady-state mRNA level for MCP-1. These data are consistent with the induction of MCP-1 expression from A549 cells by TNF and IL-1. MCP-1 production from A549 cells could be induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated alveolar macrophage (AM)-conditioned media, but not by LPS alone. The inducing activity in AM-conditioned media was neutralized with specific antibodies to IL-1 beta, but not TNF-alpha. Our findings suggest that the alveolar epithelium can participate in inflammatory cell recruitment via the production of MCP-1 and that cytokine networking between contiguous alveolar macrophages and the pulmonary epithelium may be essential for parenchymal cell MCP-1 expression. 相似文献

We showed previously that protein kinase C (PKC) is required for phagocytosis of apoptotic leukocytes by murine alveolar (AM?) and peritoneal macrophages (PM?) and that such phagocytosis is markedly lower in AM? compared with PM?. In this study, we examined the roles of individual PKC isoforms in phagocytosis of apoptotic thymocytes by these two M? populations. By immunoblotting, AM? expressed equivalent PKC eta but lower amounts of other isoforms (alpha, betaI, betaII, delta, epsilon, mu, and zeta), with the greatest difference in betaII expression. A requirement for PKC betaII for phagocytosis was demonstrated collectively by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-induced depletion of PKC betaII, by dose-response to PKC inhibitor Ro-32-0432, and by use of PKC betaII myristoylated peptide as a blocker. Exposure of PM? to phosphatidylserine (PS) liposomes specifically induced translocation of PKC betaII and other isoforms to membranes and cytoskeleton. Both AM? and PM? expressed functional PS receptor, blockade of which inhibited PKC betaII translocation. Our results indicate that murine tissue M? require PKC betaII for phagocytosis of apoptotic cells, which differs from the PKC isoform requirement previously described in M? phagocytosis of other particles, and imply that a crucial action of the PS receptor in this process is PKC betaII activation. 相似文献

The effect of platelet-activating factor (PAF) on TNF production by rat alveolar macrophages (AM) and the role of endogenous leukotriene B4 (LTB4) in this regulation were examined. When AM were cultured with PAF alone, no change in TNF production was observed. However, the concomitant addition of PAF and muramyl dipeptide to AM cultures markedly enhanced (2- to 3-fold) TNF production in a concentration-dependent fashion with peak effect at 10(-10)M PAF. This enhancement occurred when muramyl dipeptide and PAF were present together at the initiation of the 24-h culture. Stimulation of TNF production by PAF was blocked by specific, but structurally different PAF receptor antagonists, BN 52021, CV3988 and WEB 2086. Additionally, the stereoisomer of PAF, [S]PAF, and the biologically inactive precursor/metabolite of PAF, lyso-PAF failed to induce significant enhancement in TNF production. In parallel, addition of PAF to AM triggered LTB4 release in a concentration-dependent manner. Inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase by nordihydro-guaiaretic acid or AA-861 blocked the PAF-induced augmentation of both TNF and LTB4 production. This was partially reversed by addition of exogenous LTB4. Collectively, these data suggest that PAF enhances TNF production by interaction with a specific putative receptor and by subsequent induction of endogenous 5-lipoxygenase activity in AM. 相似文献

The pathogenesis of HIV-1 infection is influenced by the immunoregulatory responses of the host. Macrophages present in the lymphoid tissue are susceptible to infection with HIV-1, but are relatively resistant to its cytopathic effects and serve as a reservoir for the virus during the course of disease. Previous investigators have demonstrated that increased serum levels of TNF-alpha contribute to the clinical symptoms of AIDS and that TNF-alpha stimulates the production of HIV-1 in chronically infected lymphocytic and monocytic cell lines by increasing HIV-1 gene expression. Although previous studies have suggested that TNF-alpha may increase HIV-1 infection of primary human mononuclear cells, some recent studies have indicated that TNF-alpha suppresses HIV-1 infection of macrophages. We now demonstrate that TNF-alpha suppresses HIV-1 replication in freshly infected peripheral blood monocytes (PBM) and alveolar macrophages (AM) in a dose-dependent manner. As TNF-alpha has been shown to increase the production of C-C chemokine receptor (CCR5)-binding chemokines under certain circumstances, we hypothesized that TNF-alpha inhibits HIV-1 replication by increasing the expression of these HIV-suppressive factors. We now show that TNF-alpha treatment of PBM and AM increases the production of the C-C chemokine, RANTES. Immunodepletion of RANTES alone or in combination with macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha and -1beta block the ability of TNF-alpha to suppress viral replication in PBM and AM. In addition, we found that TNF-alpha treatment reduces CCR5 expression on PBM and AM. These findings suggest that TNF-alpha plays a significant role in inhibiting monocytotropic strains of HIV-1 by two distinct, but complementary, mechanisms. 相似文献

Neutralization of microcystin shock in mice by tumor necrosis factor alpha antiserum 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Microcystis aeruginosa is a common cyanobacterium in water blooms that appear widely in nutrient-rich, fresh, and brackish waters, and its toxic blooms cause the death of domestic animals. The administration of a crude toxic cell extract of M. aeruginosa K-139 to mice can produce tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and prompt severe physiological disturbances, especially liver damage, which can lead to death. The in vitro production of TNF-alpha by peritoneal macrophages was observed after stimulation with the cell extract or the purified toxin from K-139 cells. The expression of a TNF-alpha mRNA was also detected in spleen cells and peritoneal macrophages after stimulation with the cell extract. However, a previous injection of rabbit anti-murine TNF-alpha serum could prevent the liver damage to some extent and protect the mice from death. These findings indicate the involvement of TNF in microcystin shock. 相似文献
