We recently reported that tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) induction of the synthesis and secretion of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta 1 by FRTL-5 cells is a thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)-dependent and age-dependent process. TNF-alpha is only cytotoxic to aged (> 40 passages) FRTL-5 cells grown in TSH-containing medium, whereas TGF-beta induces programmed cell death (apoptosis) in epithelial cells but not in FRTL-5 cells, which otherwise retain many properties of normal thyroid follicular cells. This cell line is, therefore, a convenient model for studies on the TSH-dependent and age-dependent inhibitory effects of these cytokines on epithelial cell growth, viability, and function. One prominent effect of TNF-alpha (and TGF-beta 1) on FRTL-5 cell function is suppression of iodide uptake, which is markedly stimulated by TSH. In aged FRTL-5 cells, iodide uptake is only about 10% that of young control cells. Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity, which drives iodide uptake by thyroid cells, is inhibited by TNF-alpha and TGF-beta. The following experiments quantitate the effects of TSH, aging, TNF-alpha, and TGF-beta 1 on the expression and activity of Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity in FRTL-5 cells. Young (< 20 passages) and aged (> 40 passages) FRTL-5 cells were treated with various doses (0-100 ng/ml) of recombinant human TNF-alpha or TGF-beta 1 for various times (0-3 days) with and without 2 U/liter TSH. These treatments reduced the rate-limiting Na+/K(+)-ATPase beta 1 mRNA level and Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity in parallel in a dose-dependent and time-dependent fashion. Aged FRTL-5 cells were more sensitive to the inhibitory effects of TNF-alpha, whereas young cells were more sensitive to the suppressive effects of TGF-beta 1 on the expression and activity of Na+/K(+)-ATPase. We conclude that inhibition of Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity by TNF-alpha and TGF-beta in FRTL-5 cells is differentially affected by aging and that this inhibitory effect can be dissociated from effects on cell viability.

We have previously reported that long-term priming of human polymorphonuclear neutrophilic granulocytes (PMN) with interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) increased the fMLP-stimulated calcium influx. We now show that also after short-term incubation with IFN-gamma, PMN calcium metabolism is modulated. Single adherent cells in three different calcium-containing buffers (high, normal, and low [Ca2+]) were stimulated with the bacterial peptide fMLP or the Ca-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin (Tg) after about 5 min preincubation with IFN-gamma. The results of this protocol indicated that IFN-gamma increases both calcium influx and calcium sequestration. Store dependent Ca2+ influx, directly measured on readdition of calcium to Tg-treated cells incubated in EGTA buffer, was significantly enhanced in IFN-gamma-treated cells. This effect of IFN-gamma was enhanced by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A. Strikingly, in low extracellular calcium concentrations, IFN-gamma induced calcium transients in 20%-60% of the cells. The proportion of PMN responding with Ca2+ transients increased with decreasing extracellular calcium concentration. Average lagtime from addition of IFN-gamma to a response that could be measured was 7.3 sec, and average increase in [Ca2+] above the basal level was 790 nM. These IFN-gamma-induced transients could not be depressed by herbimycin A. Thus, IFN-gamma can increase capacitative calcium influx, induce calcium transients, and possibly affect calcium sequestration in human PMN.

We have shown previously that interferon-beta (IFN-beta) induces the alkalinization of trans-Golgi network (TGN) and inhibits the transport of G protein of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) in L(B) cells and gD protein of herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) in LMtk- cells transfected with gD cDNA. The vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) is responsible for maintaining pH in TGN, and V-ATPase-mediated acidification is required for normal transport of proteins. To examine whether alkalinization caused by IFN is mediated through V-ATPase, the activity of V-ATPase was determined in IFN-treated cells by coupling ATP hydrolysis to NADH oxidation. Bafilomycin (Baf) was used as positive control, as it specifically inhibits V-ATPase. The activity of V-ATPase was reduced in IFN-treated or Baf-treated cells compared with untreated cells. Doses of IFN-beta or Baf that neither alter pHi nor inhibit the transport of viral glycoproteins concomitantly inhibited the transport of G and gD proteins in TGN, as demonstrated by indirect immunofluorescence studies, and raised the pH of TGN as demonstrated by a decrease in the uptake of DAMP. Further, the effect of Baf on IFN-induced antiviral activity against VSV was examined to correlate the biologic significance of these findings. Data showed that Baf significantly enhances (5-50-fold) the IFN-induced antiviral activity as demonstrated by viral titers from supernatants. These findings suggest that the inhibition of transport of G and gD proteins by IFN-beta, may be related to the inhibition of V-ATPase-mediated acidification of TGN.

We investigated the effects of the leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) on 3,3', 5-triiodo-L-thyronine, or thyroid hormone (T(3))-stimulated sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase (SERCA2) gene expression on cultured neonatal rat cardiac myocytes. A reduction of T(3) induced increases in SERCA2 mRNA levels after co-treatment with LIF or IL-6. To investigate for the molecular mechanism(s) responsible for the blunted gene expression, a 3.2-kb SERCA2 promoter construct containing a reporter gene was transfected into cardiac myocytes. T(3) treatment stimulated transcriptional activity twofold, whereas co-treatment with T(3) and either of the cytokines caused an inhibition of T(3)-induced SERCA2 transcriptional activity. A T(3)-responsive 0.6-kb SERCA2 construct also showed a similar inhibition by cytokines. Cytokine inhibition of SERCA2 transcriptional activity was also evident when a 0.6-kb SERCA2 mutant, T(3)-unresponsive promoter construct was used. Treatment with T(3) and cytokines showed a significant decrease in transcription when a reporter construct was used that was comprised of direct repeats of SERCA2 thyroid response element I. These data provide evidence for cytokine-mediated inhibitory effects on the SERCA2 promoter that may be mediated by interfering with T(3) action.

Secretion of interleukin 8 (IL-8) and its regulation was investigated in myelomonocytic leukaemia cell lines. Quantification by ELISA revealed a constitutive production in the cell lines HL-60, ML-2, MONO-MAC-6 and MUTZ-3 ranging between 1500 and ca. 5000 pg/ml IL-8 per million cells. No measurable IL-8 was detected in the culture medium of MONO-MAC-1 and THP-1. Stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate (TPA) significantly increased the IL-8 level secreted by all cell lines; the best producers were TPA-treated MONO-MAC-6 and MUTZ-3 cultures, generating more than 50 000 pg/ml IL-8. Also the calcium ionophore A-23187, IL-13, macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the Ca(2+)-ATPase, and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) strongly enhanced the IL-8 production in MONO-MAC-6 cells. The glucocorticoid dexamethasone and the protein kinase inhibitor staurosporine distinctively inhibited the IL-8 production of MONO-MAC-6 cells. Thus, our results demonstrate a strong constitutive IL-8 secretion in human myelomonocytic leukaemia cell lines; the variety of different modulators affecting IL-8 production leads to the suggestion of a multiple regulation of IL-8 expression and secretion.

Cytokine receptors from the IL-6 receptor family are comprised of ligand specific alpha chains and a common signalling chain, gp-130, which is also required for high affinity binding. A cDNA library generated from the beta-TC3 SV40 T-antigen transformed insulinoma cell line was screened for members of this receptor family potentially relevant to both beta cell development and autoimmunity. Degenerate oligonucleotide primers to a consensus region of these receptors were used and the IL-11 receptor alpha chain was identified. Despite confirmation of IL-11 receptor mRNA expression, iodinated bioactive IL-11 did not bind specifically to beta-TC3 cells and gp-130-dependent cytokines did not elicit signalling events in beta cell lines. This was explained by absence of gp-130 protein or mRNA in the beta cell lines tested and in primary islets. We conclude from these results that the previously recognised effects of IL-6 family member cytokines on pancreatic islets must be indirect via other non-beta cells within the islet, rather than due to direct effects on beta cells themselves.

IL-1beta is suspected to be involved in the diarrhea that always accompanies inflammatory bowel disease. This work was aimed at studying the in vivo effect of IL-1beta on the net absorption of fluid, Na(+) and Cl(-) from the rat colon, and at delineating its mechanism of action. Rats were injected i.p. with IL-1beta (1 mug/kg body weight) and the colon was perfused, four hours later, with Krebs-Ringer buffer. Net fluid absorption was calculated as the difference between the total volume of the buffer infused and collected per cm(2) of perfused intestine. Chloride in both buffers was determined by titration according to Mohr's method and net Cl- absorption was calculated in the same way. IL-1beta reduced the net absorption of water and chloride. The cytokine also reduced the percentage recovery of the Na(+)-K(+) ATPase activity in crude homogenates of membranes from surface and crypt colonic cells as revealed by the determination of inorganic phosphate released. In addition IL-1beta decreased the protein expression of the Na(+)-K(+) pump and increased that of the NaKCl(2) symporter. It is concluded that IL-1beta has a dual effect: it inhibits the Na(+)-K(+) pump and consequently NaCl absorption, and up-regulates the NaKCl(2) transporter and increases Cl(-) secretion. The ultimate effect of the two processes is a net decrease in Na(+)+ and Cl(-) absorption and an increase in water retention in the colon leading to the observed diarrhea in inflammatory bowel disease.

Interleukin1-beta has been demonstrated previously to reduce the activity and expression of the Na(+)-K(+) pump in the rat jejunum and colon. This work attempts to elucidate the signal transduction pathway underlying its effect using Caco-2 cells. IL-1beta reduced, in these cells also, the activity and expression of ATPase, in a dose and time-dependent manner. The down-regulatory effect of the cytokine on the ATPase was not evident, when p38 MAP kinase was inhibited, but appeared in presence of inhibitors of MEK and NFkappaB, although activation of NF-kappaB was demonstrated by western blot analysis. The effect of IL-1beta on the pump disappeared in the presence of indomethacin, a COX inhibitor. Exogenous PGE2 reduced the expression of the pump within 15 minutes, and this effect was still apparent when p38MAPK was inhibited. Curcumin, a JNK/AP-1 inhibitor, partially abolished the effect of IL-1beta on ATPase expression but did not interfere with the effect of PGE2. These results indicate that IL-1beta reduces the expression of ATPase independently of NFkB but, through a major pathway involving p38 and COX-2/PGE2, and another pathway involving JNK/AP1.

Recent studies have shown that heart diseases are always accompanied with high levels of IL-1beta and a decrease in Na+-K+ ATPase concentrations. This work studies the involvement of the cytokine in the observed changes in the pump. Rats were injected intraperitoneally with 400 mg of IL-1beta and 4 h later, the heart was isolated and a crude homogenate of the right and left ventricles was prepared and tested for Na+-K+ ATPase activity and protein expression. IL-1beta inhibited by around 70% the activity of the ATPase in the left and right ventricles. This inhibition of the pump was ascribed to a decrease in its protein expression as demonstrated by western blot analysis. A dose and time response study conducted on isolated cardiac myocytes confirmed the inhibitory role of the cytokine on the ATPase and showed that IL-1beta exerts its maximal down-regulatory effect at 2 h and at a dose of 20 ng/ml. The cytokine caused also an up-regulation of the NaKCl2 cotransporter. Both MEK and p38MAPK were shown to be involved in the signaling pathway activated by the cytokine. It can be concluded that the decrease in the Na+-K+ ATPase concentration observed in heart diseases is a consequence of the accompanying high levels of IL-1beta, and may be responsible for the different symptoms that accompany cardiac ischemia.

Cytokines and free radicals are mediators of beta-cell death in type 1 diabetes. Under in vitro conditions, interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) + gamma-interferon (IFN-gamma) induce nitric oxide (NO) production and apoptosis in rodent and human pancreatic beta-cells. We have previously shown, by microarray analysis of primary beta-cells, that IL-1beta + IFN-gamma decrease expression of the mRNA encoding for the sarcoendoplasmic reticulum pump Ca(2+) ATPase 2b (SERCA2b) while inducing expression of the endoplasmic reticulum stress-related and proapoptotic gene CHOP (C/EBP [CCAAT/enhancer binding protein] homologous protein). In the present study we show that cytokine-induced apoptosis and necrosis in primary rat beta-cells and INS-1E cells largely depends on NO production. IL-1beta + IFN-gamma, via NO synthesis, markedly decreased SERCA2b protein expression and depleted ER Ca(2+) stores. Of note, beta-cells showed marked sensitivity to apoptosis induced by SERCA blockers, as compared with fibroblasts. Cytokine-induced ER Ca(2+) depletion was paralleled by an NO-dependent induction of CHOP protein and activation of diverse components of the ER stress response, including activation of inositol-requiring ER-to-nucleus signal kinase 1alpha (IRE1alpha) and PRK (RNA-dependent protein kinase)-like ER kinase (PERK)/activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), but not ATF6. In contrast, the ER stress-inducing agent thapsigargin triggered these four pathways in parallel. In conclusion, our results suggest that the IL-1beta + IFN-gamma-induced decrease in SERCA2b expression, with subsequent depletion of ER Ca(2+) and activation of the ER stress pathway, is a potential contributory mechanism to beta-cell death.
