Agents that can arrest cellular proliferation are now providing insights into mechanisms of growth factor action and how this action may be controlled. It is shown here that the macrophage activating agents tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha), interferon-gamma (IFN gamma), and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can maximally inhibit colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1)-induced, murine bone marrow-derived macrophage (BMM) DNA synthesis even when added 8-12 h after the growth factor, a period coinciding with the G1/S-phase border of the BMM cell cycle. This inhibition was independent of autocrine PGE2 production or increased cAMP levels. In order to compare the mode of action of these agents, their effects on a number of other BMM responses in the absence or presence of CSF-1 were examined. All three agents stimulated BMM protein synthesis; TNF alpha and LPS, but not IFN gamma, stimulated BMM Na+/H+ exchange and Na+,K(+)-ATPase activities, as well as c-fos mRNA levels. IFN gamma did not inhibit the CSF-1-induced Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity. TNF alpha and LPS inhibited both CSF-1-stimulated urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) mRNA levels and u-PA activity in BMM, whereas IFN gamma lowered only the u-PA activity. In contrast, LPS and IFN gamma, but not TNF alpha, inhibited CSF-1-induced BMM c-myc mRNA levels, the lack of effect of TNF alpha dissociating the inhibition of DNA synthesis and decreased c-myc mRNA expression for this cytokine. These results indicate that certain biochemical responses are common to both growth factors and inhibitors of BMM DNA synthesis and that TNF alpha, IFN gamma, and LPS, even though they all have a common action in suppressing DNA synthesis, activate multiple signaling pathways in BMM, only some of which overlap or converge. 相似文献

Short-term stimulation (i.e. <2 days) with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) or interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) cause growth arrest and sensitize epithelial cells to CD95 (Fas/Apo-1)-mediated cell death. The effect of long-term cytokine exposure on viability, proliferation, and apoptosis response of colonic epithelial cells is unknown and addressed in this study. In the present study HT29 and DLD-1 colonic cells were stimulated with either TNF-alpha or IFN-gamma at varying concentrations for 2-9 days. Viability and proliferation was assessed. CD95-mediated cell death response was determined. IFN-gamma caused decreased viability at high concentrations (1 nM), whereas lower concentrations (10-100 pM) only caused a transient growth arrest. TNF-alpha (100 pM) did not affect cell growth. Cells stimulated for 8 days with IFN-gamma (10 pM) or TNF-alpha (100 pM) had higher proliferation rates than controls or cells stimulated for 2 days (p < 0.05). Whereas the spontaneous cell death increased slightly during continuous cytokine exposure the CD95L response decreased (P < 0.01). Colonic cells continuously exposed to IFN-gamma or TNF-alpha had cell turnover characteristics that resemble findings in patients with UC. Increased proliferation and decreased cell death response may act as a counter regulatory mechanism that limits the damaging effects of cytokines. 相似文献

The production of TNF-alpha, IL-1, and IL-6 was measured in mice after bolus i.v. Escherichia coli O111 LPS injections and during bacteremia induced either by bolus i.v. or by i.p. challenges of live E. coli O111. High but transient TNF-alpha peaks were observed after bolus i.v. LPS or bacterial challenges. In contrast, the levels during lethal peritonitis increased progressively to values 50- to 100-fold lower than the peak values observed after i.v. injections, and remained sustained until death. Whereas after i.v. challenge with 1000 LD50 of LPS, anti-TNF-alpha antibody fully protected mice from death and reduced serum IL-1 and IL-6 levels, anti-TNF-alpha antibody did not improve the survival of mice nor reduced serum IL-1 and IL-6 levels after i.p. bacterial challenge. In contrast to anti-TNF-alpha antibodies, anti-LPS antibodies were protective in the peritonitis model. Protection was accompanied by a striking reduction of bacterial numbers and of TNF-alpha, IL-1, and IL-6 levels in the serum, but the levels of these cytokines were only marginally affected in the peritoneal lavage fluid. This latter observation demonstrates that the local peritoneal cytokines did not diffuse readily into the circulation, thus suggesting that at least part of the circulating cytokines are produced systemically. In conclusion, the striking differences between cytokine profiles as well as the divergent efficacy of anti-TNF-alpha antibody after i.v. bolus and after i.p. challenges suggest that TNF-alpha may not be as important in the pathogenesis of lethal peritonitis than after lethal acute bacteremia. 相似文献

Using mouse peritoneal macrophages, we have examined the mechanism by which Leonurus sibiricus (LS) regulates nitric oxide (NO) production. When LS was used in combination with recombinant interferon-gamma (rIFN-gamma), there was a marked cooperative induction of NO production; however, LS by itself had no effect on NO production. The increased production of NO from rIFN-gamma plus LS-stimulated cells was almost completely inhibited by pretreatment with pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), an inhibitor of nuclear factor kappaB. Furthermore, treatment of peritoneal macrophages with rIFN-gamma plus LS caused a significant increase in tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) production. PDTC also decreased the effect of LS on TNF-alpha production significantly. Because NO and TNF-alpha play an important role in immune function and host defense, LS treatment could modulate several aspects of host defense mechanisms as a result of stimulation of the inducible nitric oxide synthase. 相似文献

In this study, we examined the possible role of TNF-alpha and lymphotoxin (TNF-beta) as cofactors of macrophage activation. The results demonstrate that both TNF were capable of enhancing the cytostatic and cytolytic activity of murine peritoneal macrophages against Eb lymphoma cells. The potentiation of tumor cytotoxicity became apparent when macrophages from DBA/2 mice were suboptimally activated by either a T cell clone-derived macrophage-activating factor or by IFN-gamma plus LPS. Neither TNF-alpha nor TNF-beta could induce tumor cytotoxicity in IFN-gamma-primed macrophages, indicating that TNF cannot replace LPS as a triggering signal of activation. In LPS-resistant C3H/HeJ macrophages, which were unresponsive to IFN-gamma plus LPS, a supplementation with TNF fully restored activation to tumor cytotoxicity. Furthermore, TNF-alpha potentiated a variety of other functions in low-level activated macrophages such as a lactate production and release of cytotoxic factors. At the same time, TNF-alpha produced a further down-regulation of pinocytosis, tumor cell binding and RNA synthesis observed in activated macrophages. These data demonstrate new activities for both TNF-alpha and TNF-beta as helper factors that facilitate macrophage activation. In particular, the macrophage product TNF-alpha may serve as an autocrine signal to potentiate those macrophage functions that were insufficiently activated by lymphokines. 相似文献

Immune responses to Helicobacter pylori infection play important roles in gastroduodenal diseases. The contributions of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) to the induction of gastric inflammation and to the protection from H. pylori infection were investigated using TNF-alpha geneknockout (TNF-alpha(-/-)) mice and IFN-gamma gene-knockout (IFN-gamma(-/-)) mice. We first examined the colonizing ability of H. pylori strain CPY2052 in the stomach of C57BL/6 wild-type and knockout mice. The number of H. pylori colonized in the stomach of IFN-gamma(-/-) and TNF-alpha(-/-) mice was higher than that of wild-type mice. These findings suggest that TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma may play a protective role in H. pylori infection. Furthermore, we examined the contribution of TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma to gastric inflammation. The CPY2052-infected TNF-alpha(-/-) mice showed a moderate infiltration of mononuclear cells in the lamina propria and erosions in the gastric epithelium as did wild-type mice, whereas the CPY2052-infected IFN-gamma(-/-) mice showed no inflammatory findings even 6 months after infection. These results demonstrate that IFN-gamma may play an important role in gastric inflammation induced by H. pylori infection, whereas TNF-alpha may not participate in the development of inflammatory response. 相似文献

Using mouse peritoneal macrophages, we have examined the mechanism by which, Smilacis rhizoma (SR) regulates nitric oxide (NO) production. When SR was used in combination with recombinant interferon-gamma (rIFN-gamma), there was a marked cooperative induction of NO production. However, SR had no effect on NO production by itself. The increased production of NO from rIFN-gamma plus SR-stimulated cells was almost completely inhibited by pre-treatment with pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), an inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB). Furthermore, treatment of peritoneal macrophages with rIFN-gamma plus SR caused a significant increase in tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) production. PDTC also decreased the effect of SR on TNF-alpha production significantly. These findings demonstrate that SR increases the production of NO and TNF-alpha by rIFN-gamma-primed macrophages and suggest that NF-kappaB plays a critical role in mediating these effects of SR. 相似文献

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced effects on energy balance are characterized by alterations in energy expenditure (hypermetabolism) and food intake (anorexia). To study the role of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) on some of these metabolic responses to endotoxin, we have used transgenic mice expressing soluble tumour necrosis factor receptor-1 IgG fusion protein (TNFR1-IgG) as well as TNF-alpha knockout (KO), lymphotoxin-alpha (LT-alpha) KO, and interferon-gamma receptor (IFN-gamma R) KO mice. The results from TNFR1-IgG transgenic mice suggest that the hypermetabolic and anorectic responses induced by LPS are independently regulated since, in the absence of TNF-alpha or LT-alpha, the LPS-induced hypermetabolism is almost prevented but not the anorexia. The anorectic response shows the strongest association with IFN-gamma since both IFN-gamma R KO mice and mice treated with anti-IFN-gamma antibody showed marked reduction in the LPS-induced anorexia compared to other mice. IFN-gamma R KO mice also have an attenuated thermogenic response to endotoxin. Anti-Asialo GM1 antibody treatment attenuated both the hypermetabolic and anorectic responses to LPS, to an extent comparable to that observed in IFN-gamma R KO mice. This finding suggests that natural killer cells (lymphocytic subsets) may be involved in IFN-gamma production and play an important role in the metabolic alterations induced by LPS. We also showed that the hypermetabolic response of control mice is associated with an upregulation of cytokine expression within the brain and an increase in permeability of the blood brain barrier. LPS-induced anorexia appears to involve peripheral cytokine expression. 相似文献

Treatment of cells with tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interferon-gamma greatly reduces their susceptibility to infection with human immunodeficiency virus and suppresses the production of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) mRNA, core protein p24, and infectious HIV. The combination treatment is cytotoxic for HIV-infected cells and reduces HIV RNA levels in chronically infected cells. 相似文献

Effects of interferon-gamma and tumor necrosis factor-alpha on the expression of an Ia antigen on a murine macrophage cell line 总被引:25,自引:0,他引:25
Cultures of the murine myelomonocytic cell line, WEHI-3, can be induced to express the Class II MHC antigen, I-A, by incubation with rMuIFN-gamma and/or rHuTNF-alpha. A 24-hr incubation with the combination of rMuIFN-gamma (5.6 ng/ml) and rHuTNF-alpha (13 ng/ml) induced the highest level of expression in the cell population (more than 90%), followed by rMuIFN-gamma (75%) and rHuTNF-alpha (33%). Comparison of the level of mRNA for the heavy chain subunit of the I-A molecule, A alpha, indicates that the combination is 10 and 40 times as stimulatory as rMuIFN-gamma and rHuTNF-alpha alone, respectively. Each cytokine treatment induced a time-dependent increase in the level of A alpha mRNA over the 72 hr of incubation examined, although the combination continued to elevate the level of A alpha mRNA above that induced by either cytokine alone. The findings reported here demonstrate that the monokine rHuTNF-alpha can induce I-A antigen expression and A alpha mRNA. Furthermore, stimulation by the combination of rHuTNF-alpha and rMuIFN-gamma is more than additive, relative to the effects of each cytokine as individual agents. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is chronic inflammatory disease of the oral mucosa, presenting in various clinical forms. The etiology of OLP is still unknown but mounting evidence points to the immunologic basis of this disorder. AIM: Our study was undertaken to quantify the salivary levels of pro-inflammatory tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in the reticular and the erosive/atrophic forms of OLP, compared with age-matched healthy control volunteers. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Whole saliva from 40 patients with active lesions of OLP, as well as from 20 healthy persons, was investigated for the presence of TNF-alpha by enzyme immunoassay. RESULTS: Salivary TNF-alpha levels were significantly increased in patients with OLP in comparison with healthy subjects. The presence of TNF-alpha showed positive correlation to clinical forms of OLP, being significantly higher in the erosive/atrophic type than in the reticular type of disease. CONCLUSION: Saliva provides an ideal medium for the detection of pro-inflammatory markers of the oral cavity. In patients with OLP, TNF-alpha levels in saliva are elevated, correlating with the severity of illness. Salivary TNF-alpha analysis may be a useful diagnostic tool and a potential prognostic marker in OLP. 相似文献

Quantification of intracellular and extracellular levels and production rates of reactive oxygen species is crucial to understanding their contribution to tissue pathophysiology. We measured basal rates of oxidant production and the activity of xanthine oxidase, proposed to be a key source of O2- and H2O2, in endothelial cells. Then we examined the influence of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and lipopolysaccharide on endothelial cell oxidant metabolism, in response to the proposal that these inflammatory mediators initiate vascular injury in part by stimulating endothelial xanthine oxidase-mediated production of O2- and H2O2. We determined a basal intracellular H2O2 concentration of 32.8 +/- 10.7 pM in cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells by kinetic analysis of aminotriazole-mediated inactivation of endogenous catalase. Catalase activity was 5.72 +/- 1.61 U/mg cell protein and glutathione peroxidase activity was much lower, 8.13 +/- 3.79 mU/mg protein. Only 0.48 +/- 0.18% of total glucose metabolism occurred via the pentose phosphate pathway. The rate of extracellular H2O2 release was 75 +/- 12 pmol.min-1.mg cell protein-1. Intracellular xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase activity determined by pterin oxidation was 2.32 +/- 0.75 microU/mg with 47.1 +/- 11.7% in the oxidase form. Intracellular purine levels of 1.19 +/- 1.04 nmol hypoxanthine/mg protein, 0.13 +/- 0.17 nmol xanthine/mg protein, and undetectable uric acid were consistent with a low activity of xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase. Exposure of endothelial cells to 1000 U/ml tumor necrosis factor (TNF) or 1 microgram/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 1-12 h did not alter basal endothelial cell oxidant production or xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase activity. These results do not support a casual role for H2O2 in the direct endothelial toxicity of TNF and LPS. 相似文献

Regulation of MHC protein expression in pancreatic beta-cells by interferon-gamma and tumor necrosis factor-alpha 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

Isolated human and mouse pancreatic islet cells and the rat insulinoma cell line RIN-m5F were used to examine the ability of recombinant interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) to regulate the expression of the class I and class II major histocompatibility (MHC) surface proteins and mRNA in beta-cells. Each cytokine increased significantly the expression of class I MHC proteins as determined by double indirect immunofluorescence microscopy and flow cytofluorimetric analysis. In the RIN-m5F cells, this increase in surface expressed class I MHC proteins was mirrored by an increase in the level of class I MHC mRNA. The order of potency of the cytokines on class I MHC expression was TNF-alpha plus IFN-gamma greater than or equal to IFN-gamma greater than or equal to TNF-alpha. While IFN-gamma or TNF-alpha alone were without effect, in combination they were found to induce class II MHC proteins on 30-40% of human or murine beta-cells. In contrast, IFN-gamma plus TNF-alpha did not induce detectable class II MHC proteins or mRNA in the RIN-m5F cells. These findings indicate that 1) TNF-alpha, in addition to IFN-gamma, upregulates the expression of beta-cell class I MHC proteins and mRNA, and 2) more than one signal is required for the induction of class II MHC proteins on beta-cells. The ability of IFN-gamma plus TNF-alpha to induce class II MHC proteins on only a fraction of the normal beta-cell population and not on RIN-m5F cells suggests that this response is related to the differentiation state of the beta-cell. 相似文献

Studies indicate that simple hemorrhage produces a profound depression of cell-mediated immunity, thereby contributing to an enhanced susceptibility to septic challenge in the host. However, it remains unknown whether or not the macrophages' cytotoxic capacity is altered after hemorrhage. To study this, C3H/HeN mice were bled to and maintained at a blood pressure of 35 mm Hg for 60 min, and adequately resuscitated. Mice were then killed at 2 or 24 h after hemorrhage to obtain peritoneal macrophage, splenic macrophage, and Kupffer cells. Cytotoxicity was assessed by determining the capacity of these macrophages to lyse [3H]TdR labeled WEHI-164 clone 13 or P815 tumor target cells (WEHI-164, sensitive to both soluble and cell-associated TNF vs P815 cells, insensitive to soluble TNF). Peritoneal and splenic macrophages from hemorrhaged animals exhibited a significantly reduced cytotoxic capacity, whereas Kupffer cells' ability to kill the target cells was enhanced. Similarly, the Kupffer cells' capacity to release TNF and IL-1, as well as express cell-associated forms of this cytokine are significantly enhanced on macrophages isolated 2 h after hemorrhage, whereas peritoneal macrophages are not. Furthermore, antibodies directed at mouse TNF but not against murine IL-1 alpha or murine IL-6 were able to oblate the enhanced target cell lysis of unfixed, as well as paraformaldehyde fixed (metabolically inactive) Kupffer cells. Studies using inhibitors (GN-monomethyl-arginine, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and ibuprofen) of other TNF-inducible mechanisms of target cell killing indicated that only the inhibition of the release of reactive nitrogen consistently depressed the cytotoxic capacity of Kupffer cells from hemorrhaged mice. Thus, the increased Kupffer cell cytotoxicity from hemorrhaged mice is most likely mediated through the expression of cell-associated TNF and the release of reactive nitrogen. 相似文献

Several species of mycoplasmas including M. pneumoniae, the causative agent of human respiratory infection, were investigated for tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) induction. The cytotoxic activity to Meth A cells of peritoneal macrophages purified from BALB/c mice was enhanced markedly when cultured with either viable or nonviable mycoplasmas. The supernatant of macrophage culture mixed with mycoplasmas, M. pneumoniae or A. laidlawii, showed a potent cytotoxic activity to TNF-alpha-sensitive but not to TNA-alpha-insensitive L cells. Addition of anti-TNA-alpha antiserum inhibited completely the cytotoxic activity of the supernatant, indicating that the cytotoxic activity is due mostly to TNF-alpha. These results strongly suggest that mycoplasmas possess an activity to induce TNF-alpha, which enhances the cytotoxic activity of macrophages and prevent infection with mycoplasmas in vivo. 相似文献
