Abstract
Interleukin-8 (IL-8) stimulated an increase in cytoplasmic-free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) and intracellular pH (pHi) in parallel at low concentrations (0.5 to 5 ng/mL), and stimulated O2- release and membrane depolarization in parallel at high concentrations (50 to 5,000 ng/mL). IL-8-induced O2- release was potentiated by tumor necrosis factor (TNF), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and granulocyte-CSF (G-CSF) in a dose-dependent manner, whereas it was inhibited by cyclic AMP agonists. These characteristics and the time-courses of the responses stimulated by IL-8 were similar to those stimulated by N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP), except that the cells stimulated by IL-8 showed shorter duration and less magnitude in some responses. In addition, IL-8 was found to be a potent priming agent and to enhance O2- release stimulated by FMLP. The priming effect of IL-8 was very rapid and was maximal within 5 minutes of preincubation. The dose-response curves for priming were identical to those for triggering of an increase in [Ca2+]i and pHi. The potency of the maximal priming effects on FMLP-induced O2- release was TNF greater than GM-CSF greater than IL-8 greater than G-CSF. The combination of IL-8 and the suboptimal concentrations of TNF or GM-CSF resulted in the additive priming effect, whereas the combination of the optimal concentration of IL-8 and the optimal concentration of TNF, GM-CSF, or G-CSF resulted in the effect of more potent priming agent alone. These findings suggest that IL-8 stimulates or primes human neutrophils according to its concentrations and cross-talks with TNF, GM-CSF, G-CSF, or FMLP at the inflammatory sites.

Abstract
To study the mechanism of initiation of eukaryotic chromosomal replication, we examined protein factors interacting with the ARS1 region located near the centromere of chromosome IV in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Using the gel shift assay, we found protein factor(s) which specifically bound to the T-rich strand of the region containing the core consensus and its flanking sequences in ARS1, but not to the opposite strand. We designated this factor ATS (ARS1, T-rich strand-binding factor(s]. Similar specific complexes were also detected with oligonucleotide probes specific for the H4 or C2G1 ARS. As we have previously identified another binding factor, we conclude that at least two factors bind to the single-stranded ARS1 sequence.

Abstract
A comparative study was performed to examine the lethal effects of several cytokines injected into mice sensitized with actinomycin D (Act-D). Consistent with published data, human tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) (0.2-5 micrograms) caused the death of the animals within 8-12 hr after injection. Human interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) (0.6-6 micrograms) known to be induced by TNF-alpha did not show any lethal effects, indicating that TNF-alpha-associated lethality is not mediated by IL-6 or IL-8. Human tumor necrosis factor-beta (TNF-beta) (also called lymphotoxin), which shares structural and functional properties with TNF-alpha, was as potent as TNF-alpha in its lethal effects. Murine interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) (0.04-5 micrograms) was also tested and showed no lethal effects in this model. In addition, a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues 163-171 of IL-1 beta, and which has been shown to lack the inflammatory effects of IL-1 beta, also caused no lethality among Act-D sensitized mice. The pretreatment of mice with IL-6, IL-8, or IFN-gamma had no protective effects on TNF-alpha or IL-1 beta-induced lethality in contrast to the protection observed by a pretreatment with TNF-alpha/IL-1 beta themselves or with endotoxin. Histopathologic data showed that severe tissue injury in vital organs is associated with the rapid lethality among sensitized mice.

Abstract
Recombinant monocyte-chemotactic and activating factor (rMCAF; alternative acronyms MCP-1, TDCF, human JE) induced migration of human monocytes across polycarbonate or nitrocellulose filters. Maximal induction of migration was observed at a concentration of 10 ng/ml (10(-9) M). Checkerboard analysis revealed that rMCAF elicited true gradient-dependent chemotactic migration, although a gradient independent chemokinetic effect was observed at low concentrations (1-5 ng/ml). rMCAF caused a rapid (less than 5 s) and transient (approximately 1.5 min) increase of free cytosolic Ca2+ ions, as assessed by the fura-2 probe. No Ca2+ increase was detected in neutrophils or lymphocytes stimulated by rMCAF. Studies conducted in the absence of extracellular Ca2+ or in the presence of Ni2+ (an inhibitor of Ca2+ influx) suggested that the increase of intracellular Ca2+ induced by rMCAF is dependent on the influx of extracellular Ca2+ through plasma membrane channels. Bordetella pertussis toxin inhibited the intracellular Ca2+ elevation and chemotaxis caused by rMCAF. The possible involvement of Ca(2+)-dependent protein kinases in rMCAF signaling pathway(s) was explored using inhibitors. Inhibitors of GMP-dependent kinase and myosin L chain kinase had no effect on rMCAF-induced monocyte migration. In contrast, protein kinase C/cAMP-dependent kinase inhibitors (such as, C-I, H-7, HA-1004, KT5720, and Staurosporine) markedly decreased rMCAF induced chemotaxis suggesting the involvement of a serine/threonine protein kinase, possibly protein kinase C, in rMCAF signaling pathway.

Abstract
IL-8 recruits both neutrophils and lymphocytes in vitro and in vivo. To elucidate the mechanisms of lymphocyte recruitment in vivo by IL-8, we examined the role of neutrophil infiltration through selective depletion of circulating neutrophils using a mAb, RP-3. Selective depletion of neutrophils inhibited the IL-8 induced in vivo migration of the W3/25+ (CD4+) T cell subset but did not inhibit that of the MRC-OX8+ (CD8+) subset. These results suggest that CD4+ T cell migration into IL-8-injected s.c. tissues depends on the prior infiltration of neutrophils chemoattracted directly by IL-8.

Abstract
Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) have been reported to stimulate human mesangial cells (HMC) to proliferate and synthesize eicosanoids. We have examined whether they also induce HMC to release cytokines. In this study we show that both IL-1 and TNF stimulate HMC to release IL-6 and IL-8. Cycling and quiescent HMC were stimulated with various concentrations of either recombinant IL-1 beta or TNF for 1 to 24 hours. IL-1 beta at doses as low as 6 pg/ml stimulated mesangial cells to synthesize mRNA for both IL-6 and IL-8 as assessed by Northern analysis; mRNA for tubulin remained constant, which demonstrated a specific increase in mRNA. Secretion of IL-6 and IL-8 into the culture medium increased (4.5 to 18 ng/ml and 4 to 40 ng/ml, respectively) measured by ELISAs. TNF had similar effects but only in high concentrations (greater than 100 ng/ml). IL-1 beta did not stimulate cells to proliferate, as measured by 3H thymidine incorporation. TNF caused proliferation but only in concentrations over 100 ng/ml. We conclude that IL-1 beta is a potent stimulator of human mesangial cell production of IL-6 and IL-8, both of which may influence injury in nephritis. TNF also stimulates mesangial cells but only in pharmacological doses.

Abstract
The capacity of human melanocytes and melanoma cells to produce IL-8 and monocyte chemotactic and activating factor (MCAF) was investigated. Melanocytes expressed mRNA for IL-8 and MCAF, when stimulated with either IL-1 alpha or TNF alpha, but not when stimulated with IL-6, IFN gamma, or LPS alone. IL-8 and MCAF could be induced in a dose-dependent fashion with doses as low as 0.1 ng/ml TNF alpha and 0.5 ng/ml IL-1 alpha. IL-8 and MCAF mRNA were rapidly expressed and peaked between 2 and 4 h for IL-8 and between 4 and 8 h for MCAF. This correlated well with the accumulation of IL-8 antigen as measured by a radioimmunoassay. Supernatants from melanocyte cultures stimulated with either IL-1 alpha or TNF alpha and separated on a heparin-Sepharose column became positive for neutrophil and monocyte chemotactic activity in a dose- and time-dependent fashion. When IFN gamma was added to melanocyte cultures stimulated with suboptimal doses of TNF alpha there was a synergistic increase in secreted IL-8 protein and monocyte chemotactic activity. These data provide further evidence for the possible role of melanocytes in the initiation of an inflammatory reaction. Three different malignant melanoma cell lines stimulated with either TNF alpha or IL-1 alpha expressed IL-8 mRNA, but not mRNA for MCAF. The IL-8 mRNA signal corresponded well with the amount of secreted IL-8 protein. These data suggest that IL-8 and MCAF may play a role in growth regulation and spreading of melanomas.

Abstract
In order to elucidate the role of inflammatory cytokines in the central nervous system (CNS), we examined whether IL and TNF-alpha induce cells in the CNS to produce two newly identified leucocyte chemo-attractants, IL-8 and monocyte chemotactic and activating factor (MCAF). Several human astrocytoma and glioblastoma cell lines expressed high levels of IL-8 and MCAF mRNA in vitro upon stimulation with IL-1 and TNF-alpha. In particular, an astrocytoma cell line U373MG subclone responded markedly to IL-1 with high expression levels of IL-8 and MCAF mRNA as well as IL-6 mRNA. Both IL-8 and MCAF mRNA expression depended on the dose of IL-1 and appeared as early as 30 min to 1 hr after IL-1 stimulation, confirming that these are early inducible genes. The production of IL-8 and MCAF in the U373MG cell culture supernatants was confirmed by a competitive radioimmunoassay (RIA) as well as chemotactic activities on human neutrophils and monocytes. IL-1-induced IL-8 and MCAF mRNA expression appeared to occur at least at the transcriptional level as revealed by a nuclear run-off assay. Moreover, IL-1 treatment increased the half-life of IL-8 and MCAF mRNA markedly, suggesting that increased mRNA stability was also responsible for the enhanced gene transcription. These data suggest that IL-1 and TNF-alpha induce astrocytes to produce IL-8 and MCAF transcriptionally and post-transcriptionally, both of which may be responsible for leucocytosis seen in inflammation of the CNS.

Abstract
Colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1) can act on mature macrophages to modulate their production of inflammatory cytokines. A cDNA encoding the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) was cloned by subtractive hybridization from a CSF-1-stimulated murine macrophage cell line, sequenced, and expressed in mammalian and bacterial cells. Mouse IL-1Ra is a 22-Kd glycoprotein that is 76% identical to its human counterpart, shows considerably less similarity to IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta, and competes with IL-1 alpha for binding to the type I IL-1 receptor normally expressed on T cells and fibroblasts. CSF-1 treatment of mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages led to a rapid and sustained increase in IL-1Ra mRNA during the G1 phase of the cell cycle as well as to increases in mRNAs encoding IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta. Cycloheximide inhibited CSF-1-induced IL-1 alpha mRNA synthesis, but augmented IL-1 beta mRNA production and did not affect induction of IL-1Ra mRNA. No IL-1Ra mRNA was observed in CSF-1-stimulated mouse fibroblasts engineered to express CSF-1 receptors, demonstrating that its regulation depends on cell context and can be dissociated from the proliferative response. In agreement, bacterial lipopolysaccharide, a nonmitogenic activator, also induced IL-1Ra and IL-1 mRNAs in macrophages. Unlike IL-1 alpha and beta, IL-1Ra contains a signal peptide. The kinetics of its induction and its ability to gain access to the secretory compartment imply that IL-1Ra may be secreted more efficiently than IL-1, and suggest that macrophages both positively and negatively regulate the IL-1 response.

Abstract
Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a newly described leukocyte chemotactic and activating cytokine that belongs to the novel family of inflammatory cytokines whose genes locate on human chromosome 4, q12-21 region. The production of IL-8 is usually not constitutive and can be induced rapidly and abundantly in different cell types by a variety of stimuli such as lipopolysaccharide, interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor-alpha as well as a tumor promotor phorbol myristate acetate. We report here that in addition to these stimuli the IL-8 gene can also be induced by the protein X of the hepatitis B virus (HBV-X) as evidenced by the enhanced IL-8 mRNA expression and IL-8 production observed in HBV-X-transfected cells. Furthermore, using several deletion mutants of the 5'-flanking regulatory region of the human IL-8 gene linked to the chloramphenicol acetyl transferase gene as a reporter, we have established here that both nuclear factor kB and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-like cis-elements located at -94 to -71 base pairs of IL-8 gene are essential and sufficient for the induction of the IL-8 gene by HBV-X. The same elements have been identified recently by us to be interleukin-1-, tumor necrosis factor-alpha-, and phorbol myristate acetate-responsive elements on the IL-8 gene. This suggests the existence of a common pathway for these inflammatory cytokines and HBV-X to activate the IL-8 gene. These observations might be relevant to the pathogenesis of inflammation in viral hepatitis.

Abstract
The physical interaction of particulates with resident mononuclear phagocytes is a consistent feature in certain forms of crystal-induced inflammation. In this study, we observed that monosodium urate crystals stimulated the rapid release of neutrophil chemotactic activity from monocytes, and that this activity steadily increased over 24 hours. Because the release of monocyte-derived neutrophil chemotactic activity was markedly diminished by pretreatment of the monocytes with cycloheximide, and was completely removed from conditioned media by adsorption to heparin-agarose, we addressed the possibility that monocyte-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor/interleukin-8 (IL-8), a heparin-binding neutrophil-activating polypeptide, might modulate these activities. Urate crystal-induced IL-8 secretion from monocytes was verified by radioimmunoassay. In addition, an IL-8-specific antibody markedly inhibited the neutrophil-activating capacity of the conditioned media from monocytes activated by urate crystals, as well as by inflammatory silica crystals. Last, IL-8 was significantly increased in gouty synovial fluids (range 3.0-16.8 ng/ml, mean 8.4 ng/ml, n = 6) relative to osteoarthritic synovial fluids (range 1.1-1.7 ng/ml, mean 1.5 ng/ml, n = 6) (P = 0.006). We conclude that microcrystal-induced secretion of IL-8 by mononuclear phagocytes may mediate a number of forms of crystal-induced inflammation.

Abstract
We have investigated IL-8 mRNA expression and IL-8 production in highly purified subsets of peripheral blood lymphocytes. T cells stimulated with PHA, ionomycin, or PMA alone failed to express IL-8 mRNA. However T cells stimulated with a combination of PMA and ionomycin or PMA and PHA expressed IL-8 mRNA in a PMA dose-dependent manner and maximally after 3 to 6 h of culture. Induction of IL-8 mRNA appeared to be specifically in the CD4+ T cell subset. Surprisingly, however, T cells were not induced to secrete significant levels of IL-8 polypeptide, even in the presence of accessory monocytes. In addition, immunoprecipitation analysis of PMA/ionomycin-treated T cell lysates detected only minor levels of cellular IL-8 Ag thereby suggesting that in T cells, the production of IL-8 was inhibited at the posttranscriptional level. By contrast, CD3- large granular lymphocytes (LGL) were both induced to express IL-8 mRNA and secrete biologically active IL-8 upon specific stimulation with IL-2 and ligand (anti-CD16 mAb) for the NK cell receptor for IgG-Fc (CD16), or upon nonspecific stimulation with PMA. IL-2 and anti-CD16 mAb synergistically induced IL-8 expression in LGL. Other nonactivating LGL-specific mAb did not induce LGL IL-8 secretion. The amount of IL-8 produced by activated LGL was donor variable, but generally 5 to 10 times less than that secreted by monocytes. The ability of LGL to release IL-8 and a large number of other cytokines further supports the hypothesis that LGL may contribute to both inflammatory and immunologic responses.

Abstract
Both pre-interleukin 1 alpha and beta (pre IL 1 alpha and beta) are proteolytically processed into extracellular mature forms of IL 1 alpha and beta. Since pre IL 1 alpha is shown to be biologically active, there may be other reasons for the proteolytic processing of IL 1 alpha and presumably, for IL 1 beta also. In order to examine the possibility that structural stabilization may be associated with the proteolytic processing of pre IL 1 alpha and beta, we investigated the structural features of pre IL 1 alpha and beta by the combination of limited proteolysis and immunoprecipitation with antibodies to the NH2-terminal halves or COOH-terminal halves of pre IL 1 alpha or beta. Both trypsin and V8 protease digested the NH2-terminal halves of pre IL 1 alpha and beta more easily than the COOH-terminal halves of pre IL 1 alpha and beta, yielding structurally stabilized "mature" forms of IL 1. Both trypsin and V8 protease yielded a fragment similar in size to mature IL 1 alpha from pre IL 1 alpha. In contrast, trypsin digested pre IL 1 beta into fragments smaller in size than mature IL 1 beta, while V8 protease yielded a fragment similar in size to mature IL 1 beta. Furthermore, mature IL 1 beta, once processed and released from cells, was resistant to trypsin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The amount of IL-8 produced by activated LGL was donor variable, but generally 5 to 10 times less than that secreted by monocytes. The ability of LGL to release IL-8 and a large number of other cytokines further supports the hypothesis that LGL may contribute to both inflammatory and immunologic responses.

Abstract
Interleukin 8 (IL-8) is a potent leukocyte chemotactic and activating cytokine produced by keratinocytes, fibroblasts, peripheral blood monocytes (PBMC) and endothelial cells. IL-8 is believed to play an important role in the development of inflammation and is thus an obvious target for therapeutical modulation. We studied the possible effect of an endogenous immune modulator 1,25(OH)2-cholecalciferol (1,25(OH)2-D3) on the IL-1-induced IL-8-production by several types of cells. 1,25(OH)2-D3 inhibited the IL-1-alpha induced IL-8 production and mRNA expression in keratinocytes, fibroblasts and PBMC, but not in endothelial cells. Optimal vitamin concentrations varied between 10(-10) and 10(-11) M. These results suggest a potential role of this hormone in the regulation of chemotactic cytokine production.

Abstract
Interleukin-8 (IL-8), a cytokine with neutrophil chemotactic and activating properties, is known to be stimulated by IL-1. Fischer rats are more resistant to inflammation than Lewis rats probably due to a higher corticosteroid stress response. To determine the role of IL-8 in ocular inflammation, the effect of intravitreal injection of IL-8 was compared with that of IL-1 in both Lewis and Fischer rats. The IL-8, IL-1 alpha, or sterile balanced salt solution (control) was injected into one eye of each animal. Both IL-8 and IL-1 alpha caused inflammation in the eye of both strains, as detected by leukocyte counts of the anterior chamber and histopathologic examination. The eyes of animals injected with a cytokine had significantly higher numbers of leukocytes compared with eyes of control animals. Histopathologic examination confirmed these findings. The IL-1 alpha induced inflammation more consistently and more severely than the most effective dose of IL-8. This finding agreed with the concept of IL-1 initiating a cascade of inflammatory mediators including IL-8, which acts more specifically on a smaller population of leukocytes. A contralateral response was observed in the uninjected eye of experimental and control animals. The contralateral response in animals receiving the cytokines was significantly greater than that in controls. Lewis rats show a higher inflammatory response to the injections than do the Fischer rats. These data suggest that IL-8 may be active as one component in neutrophil-mediated ocular inflammation.

Abstract
A family consisting of at least ten distinct novel 8-10 kd cytokines has been identified over the past 12 years. These cytokines exhibit from 20 to 45% homology in amino acid sequence, are probably all basic heparin-binding polypeptides, and have proinflammatory and reparative activities. The cDNA for these cytokines are characterized by conserved single open reading frames, typical signal sequences in the 5' region, and AT rich sequences in the 3' untranslated regions. Those human cytokines known as interleukin 8, platelet factor 4, beta thromboglobulin, IP-10 and melanoma growth stimulating factor or GRO can be assigned to a subfamily based on their location on chromosome 4 and unique structural features, whereas the second subset consisting of LD78, ACT-2, I-309, RANTES, and macrophage chemotactic and activating factor (MCAF) are all closely linked on human chromosome 17. In this review we have summarized and discussed the available information concerning the regulation and structure of the genes, the structure and biochemical properties of the polypeptide products, their receptors, signal transduction, cell sources, and in vitro as well as in vivo activities of these cytokines.

Abstract
Recently purified and molecularly cloned monocyte chemotactic and activating factor (MCAF) may play a major role in recruiting and activating monocytes in the inflammatory process. We examined the effects of a potent anti-inflammatory agent, dexamethasone (DXS), on the production of this factor. Over a wide range of concentrations (10(-5) to 10(-8) M), DXS inhibited the production of MCAF at the mRNA and protein level in a human fibrosarcoma cell line, which was stimulated with either IL-1 or TNF-alpha. We examined the turn-over of synthesized MCAF mRNA that showed DXS decreased the stability of MCAF mRNA. Furthermore, the addition of actinomycin D and cycloheximide abolished this effect of DXS, indicating that de novo mRNA and protein synthesis were required for this process. In addition, a nuclear run-off analysis revealed that DXS also inhibited the transcription of IL-1- or TNF-activated MCAF genes. Therefore, both the destabilization of MCAF mRNA and the inhibition of transcription of the gene contribute to the decrease in the MCAF mRNA steady state level by DXS.

Abstract
IL-8 is produced by a wide variety of cells in response to polyclonal mitogens and cytokines. Northern blotting analysis revealed that IL-1, TNF and PMA could induce rapid expression of IL-8 mRNA in the absence of new protein synthesis. Nuclear run-off assays using different cell types demonstrated that IL-8 mRNA expression could at least be partly due to the activation of transcription. Cloning and determination of the entire sequence of IL-8 genomic DNA enabled us to explore the functional significance of the 5'-flanking enhancer region of the IL-8 gene by employing CAT assays. The results indicated that the region spanning from -94 to -71 bp is minimally sufficient for conferring responsiveness to IL-1, TNF and PMA. Further analysis using point-mutations revealed that this region consisted of two distinct cis-elements; one being the potential binding site for NFkB-like and the other for a C/EBP-like factor. These results suggested that all three stimuli, IL-1/TNF/PMA, modulate the identical combination of nuclear factors possibly by phosphorylation. We previously reported that these three stimuli activated the same serine protein kinase which phosphorylates identical 65 kDa and 74 kDa cytosol proteins in human PBMC. This IL-1/TNF/PMA-activated protein kinase is distinct from protein kinase A, protein kinase C or casein kinase in substrate specificity; in Ca and phospholipid dependency; in cyclic nucleotide dependency; and sensitivity to protein kinase inhibitors. Taken collectively, IL-1/TNF/PMA may activate a common serine protein kinase and this protein kinase may in turn directly or indirectly modulate several nuclear factors.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
A novel cytokine, interleukin-8 (IL-8), may play major roles in the inflammatory process by recruiting neutrophils and T cells into inflammatory sites. The production of this cytokine is not constitutive and is induced in a variety of cell types by stimulation with mitogens and cytokines. Among cytokines, only IL-1 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) can induce IL-8 gene expression at the transcriptional level. Transfection of a human fibrosarcoma cell line with chloramphenicol acetyltransferase expression plasmids linked to a 5'-flanking deletion mutants of the IL-8 gene demonstrated that the nucleotides between -94 and -71 base pairs from the start of the first exon are essential and sufficient for the IL-8 induction by either IL-1, TNF, or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. This sequence is composed of two cis-elements; one is the potential binding site for a nuclear factor-kappa B-like factor and the other for a cis-regulatory enhancer binding protein-like factor. Mutations in either elements abolished IL-1, TNF, and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate responsiveness. This report provides the first evidence that cooperation between two distinct cis-elements may be required for induction of gene expression by either IL-1 or TNF.
