Abstract
The human IL-1 molecules (IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta) are post-translationally cleaved from 31-kDa precursor to 18-kDa biologically active molecules. During the course of studies of post-translational modifications of human IL-1, we have observed that although LPS induced the production of both intracellular IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta in human monocytes, [32P]orthophosphate labeling of these cells revealed that intracellular precursor of IL-1 alpha (pre-IL-1 alpha) to be phosphorylated at least 10-fold more than intracellular pre-IL-1 beta. However, no 32P-incorporation could be detected in the 18-kDa processed IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta. Analysis by TLC revealed that the major phosphorylation site occurred at serine residue(s). The 32P was incorporated into multiply cleaved precursors of IL-1 alpha, which appeared in the absence of protease inhibitors. Since the smallest Mr pre-IL-1 alpha that was labeled with 32P was 22 kDa, the phosphorylated serine residue is presumably located adjacent to a sequence of four basic amino acids located in the 4-kDa region at the amino terminus of the 22-kDa precursor of IL-1 alpha. This serine residue might also be a major phosphorylation site for a cAMP-dependent protein kinase. This hypothesis was substantiated by the demonstration that a synthetic peptide analogue of this region (residue 84 to 112) could be similarly phosphorylated in vitro by a cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Furthermore, a truncated pre-IL-1 alpha (residue 64 to 271) and a "fusion" protein containing staphylococcal protein A and an amino-terminal half-portion of pre-IL-1 alpha (residue 1 to 112), but not mature IL-1 alpha (residue 113 to 271), could also be phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. There is no comparable amino acid sequence in IL-1 beta which could be expected to be phosphorylated by a cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The physiologic relevance of phosphorylation of pre-IL-1 alpha was investigated. The data showed that phosphorylation of truncated pre-IL-1 alpha greatly enhanced its susceptibility to digestion by trypsin and promoted the conversion of pre-IL-1 alpha to the more biologically active IL-1. Although the precise role of the rather selective phosphorylation of pre-IL-1 alpha is not known, our findings do suggest that the phosphorylation of serine close to dibasic/tetrabasic amino acid sequence functions to facilitate the processing and/or release of IL-1 alpha.

Abstract
Clones and subclones of the human oligodendroglioma line TC620 were characterized with respect to surface and cytoplasmic markers as well as for ability to produce and respond to immunoregulators of inflammation such as products of arachidonic acid metabolism, interleukin 1(IL1) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Clone 1.0 and its subclone 1.3 both resembled immature oligodendroglia or precursor-type cells. Both clones were 100% positive for surface galactocerebroside (Gal C), though distinct with respect to predominance of surface gangliosides and lectin receptors. Both clones responded to IL1 beta and IL1b by proliferation and both constitutively released IL1 alpha. The parental line also produced some IL1 but did not proliferate in response to IL1. The IL1 alpha produced could be detected in supernatants as well as cell lysates of TC620 1.0 and 1.3. Neither clone produced prostaglandin E (PGE), leukotriene B4 (LTB4), or tumor necrosis factor (TNF) but IL1 alpha production by 1.3 could be influenced by exogenous PGE and TNF. Response to IL1 beta and IL1 alpha could be specifically inhibited by anti IL1 alpha or beta respectively. The clones also responded to autologous conditioned supernatants. This response was partially inhibited by anti IL1 alpha but not anti IL1 beta, indicating that the factor in the supernatant was IL1 alpha-like.

Abstract
The suppression of IL-1 production in human adherent PBMC by a glucocorticoid hormone was studied. From 10(-5) to 10(-8) M glucocorticoid hormone (prednisolone) inhibited both IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta production by LPS-stimulated adherent human PBMC in a dose-dependent fashion, as assayed by Western blotting of cell-associated IL-1 and a thymocyte comitogenic bioassay. IL-1 alpha and -beta mRNA levels were concomitantly suppressed by glucocorticoid treatment, as determined by Northern blotting analysis. These data suggest that the suppression of IL-1 activity by glucocorticoids is consistently associated with decreased levels of IL-1 proteins and mRNA expression and therefore presumably regulated at the transcriptional level.

Abstract
The in vitro effect of glucocorticoids (GCs) on IL-1-R expression of human PBMCs was investigated. Both physiological and pharmacological concentration ranges of GC increased the specific binding of 125I-labeled human rIL-1 alpha to PBMCs. This enhancement was specific for GC, since other steroid hormones, such as progesterone, 17 beta-estradiol, and testosterone failed to elevate the binding of 125I-IL-1 alpha to PBMCs. The effect was time dependent with maximal effect occurring 6 h after treatment and dose dependent with half-maximal effect elicited by 100 nM prednisolone. Scatchard plot analysis indicated that 125I-IL-1 alpha binding increased from approximately 100 IL-1-R per cell to 2 X 10(3) receptors per cell without a major change in affinity (Kd = 2.6 X 10(-10) M). The subpopulation of PBMCs induced by GC to express higher levels of IL-1-R consisted predominantly of B lymphocytes, but not T lymphocytes, large granular lymphocytes, or monocytes. GCs also induced the expression of IL-1-R on some other cell types, including normal human dermal fibroblasts and the human large granular lymphocyte cell line YT. Since cycloheximide and actinomycin D inhibited the induction of IL-1-R by GC, synthesis of both new RNA and protein seems to be required for IL-1-R induction. This study presents the first evidence of upregulation of the receptors for IL-1 by GC, and may account for the reported enhancement of in vitro and in vivo humoral immune responses by GCs.

Abstract
Interleukin 1 (IL 1) contributes to both acute and chronic inflammatory processes. Purified IL 1 by itself is only one of the signals that induces local inflammation. The contribution of IL 1 to local inflammatory reactions is influenced by exogenous stimuli, antagonists such as steroid hormones and TGF beta (tissue growth factor beta) and agonists such as TNF (tissue necrosis factor). IL 1 production is depressed by glucocorticoids, but glucocorticoids induce expression of receptors for IL 1 on selected cell types including B lymphocytes and fibroblasts. Thus, complex interactions between hormones and cytokines modulate immunological and inflammatory responses.

Abstract
Many cytokines have been documented to have a multiplicity of biological effects by acting on a variety of cells. In order to determine whether human BCGF-II acts on any cells in addition to normal B cells, the effect of human BCGF-II on murine thymocytes, human peripheral blood T cells, a human natural killer-like cell line, YT, and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed B-cell lines was further examined. BCGF-II augmented incorporation of [3H]thymidine by murine thymocytes in combination with suboptimal doses (0.5 microgram/ml) of concanavalin A (Con A) but not at lower doses (0.1 microgram/ml) of Con A, a concentration usually used for interleukin 1 (IL-1) assays. BCGF-II could not induce proliferation or Tac antigen (Ag) expression on normal peripheral blood T cells stimulated with OKT3 antibody. Both proliferation and Tac Ag expression on YT cells were also augmented by BCGF-II. BCGF-II induced both high- and low-affinity IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) on YT cells as determined by 125I-IL-2-binding assay. Two of seven EBV-transformed B-cell lines tested (ORSON and AUM cells) in response to BCGF-II exhibited augmentation of proliferation and cell surface Tac Ag expression. BCGF-II in the presence of low doses (0.1 microgram/ml) of phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) also induced Tac Ag mRNA (3.5 and 1.5 kb) in these B-cell lines. The IL-2R induced on these B-cell lines, however, consisted mostly of low-affinity receptors. Both Tac Ag and its mRNA in these B-cell lines were not induced by Forskolin but by PMA, suggesting that this induction may involve protein kinase C. The present study shows that human BCGF-II can stimulate YT cells, murine thymocytes, and some EBV-transformed B-cell lines but not peripheral blood T cells. Consequently, BCGF-II can induce the growth and differentiation of a number of cell types in addition to normal B cells.

Abstract
The nucleotide sequence of human Go alpha was determined from a partial human brain cDNA clone and the sequence of the first two 5' coding exons of a human genomic Go alpha clone. Comparison of this sequence with bovine and rat Go alpha shows greater than 90% homology at the nucleotide and deduced amino acid level. There is 100% identity at the amino acid level for the cholera and pertussis toxin-catalyzed ADP ribosylation sites, the putative guanine nucleotide binding, and the GTP hydrolysis sites.

Abstract
Many cytokines with multiple effects on the growth and functions of a wide variety of target cells have been discovered. Consequently, cytokines may exhibit considerable overlap in their biological effects on lymphoid, myeloid and connective tissue target cells. Even biologically distinct cytokines may have similar effects by initiating the production of a cascade of identical cytokines or of one another. The benefits of this apparent redundancy and interdependence of these activities remain to be established. Our information concerning cytokines is still far from complete, as illustrated by the recent characterization of a novel chemotactic cytokine and identification of a family of related mediators.

Abstract
Stimulated human monocytes release several proteins thought to play a role in inflammation, including interleukin 1, tumor necrosis factor, and plasminogen activator. We have purified another proinflammatory protein that is chemotactic for human neutrophils from conditioned medium of lipopolysaccharide-stimulated monocytes. After a series of steps that included anion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration, and HPLC on cation-exchange and reverse-phase columns, an apparently pure protein was obtained that migrated as a single 7-kDa band on NaDodSO4/polyacrylamide gels under reducing or nonreducing conditions. The amino acid composition of this monocyte-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor was different from that of interleukin 1 and tumor necrosis factor. N-terminal amino acid sequence of the first 42 residues was determined. This portion of the molecule has up to 56% sequence similarity with several proteins that may be involved in host responses to infection or tissue injury. It is identical to a portion of a sequence deduced from an mRNA induced by staphylococcal enterotoxin treatment of human leukocytes. At the optimal concentration of 10 nM, 50% of neutrophils added to chemotaxis assay wells migrated toward the pure attractant. Potency and efficacy are comparable to that of fMet-Leu-Phe, which is often used as a reference. In contrast to many attractants, the protein was not chemotactic for human monocytes.

Abstract
The authors have previously observed that glucocorticoids dramatically increase the number of interleukin 1 (IL-1) receptors on normal human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) (from approximately 100 to 2000 receptors/cell) without significant change in the binding affinity (Kd = approximately 2.6 x 10(-10) M). We, therefore, used such a receptor-enriched glucocorticoid-pretreated PBMC to investigate whether IL-1 induces/increases the phosphorylation of any cell-associated proteins, including possible autophosphorylation of IL-1 receptors. Extraction of 125I-labeled IL-1 alpha cross-linked to IL-1 receptor on steroid-treated PBMC yielded two bands estimated to be 60 and 70 kDa in molecular mass. No molecules were significantly cross-linked with 125I-labeled IL-1 alpha on untreated PBMC. Carrier-free recombinant human IL-1 alpha induced phosphorylation of an acidic 65-kDa protein (pp65) at serine residues within 5 min more effectively in glucocorticoid-treated PBMC than in untreated PBMC. Fractionation of extracts of IL-1-stimulated prednisolone-pretreated PBMC by ultracentrifugation showed that pp65 is located in the cytosol, suggesting that pp65 is not the IL-1 receptor itself. Protein kinase inhibitors, HA1004 and W-7, but not H-7, significantly inhibited the induction of the phosphorylation of 65-kDa protein by IL-1. These data indicate that the glucocorticoid-induced IL-1 receptor is functional and either contains or is closely associated with a serine kinase that is distinct from protein kinase C.

Abstract
LPS stimulated human blood mononuclear leukocytes to produce a chemotactic factor for human neutrophils. The effect of LPS was dose-dependent; 10 micrograms/ml was optimal for production of chemotactic factor. Chemotactic activity was detected 3 hr after LPS stimulation, and reached its peak at 12 hr. No activity was detected in culture supernatants of unstimulated cells, provided LPS-free media were selected. Isoelectric point of the factor, determined by chromatofocusing, was approximately 8 to 8.5. Molecular weight was approximately 10 kilodaltons by Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration or by HPLC gel filtration on TSK-2000 and -3000 columns in succession. The gel filtration fractions were also assayed for IL 1 activity. The elution position of IL 1 activity corresponded to a m.w. of 18. There was no chemotactic activity in the IL 1 activity peak. Furthermore, highly purified natural Il 1 alpha and -beta and recombinant Il 1 alpha and -beta did not exhibit chemotactic activity for neutrophils in our assay. Among mononuclear leukocytes, the monocyte was the principal producer of neutrophil chemotactic factor. These results suggest that a chemotactic factor for neutrophils, different from IL 1, is produced by LPS-stimulated blood monocytes.

Abstract
A bioassay was developed using human small B cells adherent to anti-human IgM (anti-mu)-coated wells. These B cells were stimulated to proliferate by culture supernatants of concanavalin A (Con A)-activated human peripheral blood lymphocytes (Con A Sup) even in the presence of high concentrations of anti-mu coated on assay wells. Human B-cell growth factor (BCGF) activities were partially purified from Con A Sup. Preparative chromatography (Sephacryl S-200 and isoelectrofocusing) yielded a major peak of BCGF activity for B cells adherent to anti-mu-coated wells with a molecular weight of 50,000 (50 kDa) and a pI 7.6. The 50-kDa BCGF was further purified by sequential chromatography using DEAE-Sephacel, CM-Sepharose, Sephacryl S-200, CM-high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and hydroxyapatite (HA)-HPLC. The HA-HPLC-purified 50-kDa BCGF was free of interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-2 (IL-2), and interferon activities, but could support growth of BCL1 cells, similar to BCGF-II. Neither IL-1 nor interferon-gamma had any growth-stimulating effect in our B-cell proliferation assay with or without BCGF in Iscove's synthetic assay medium. BCGF-induced proliferation of B cells adherent to anti-mu-coated wells could be markedly augmented by the simultaneous or sequential addition of recombinant human IL-2 (rIL-2). When cultured for 3 days with 50-kDa BCGF, about 40% of B cells adherent to anti-mu-coated wells expressed Tac antigen, and monoclonal anti-Tac antibody inhibited rIL-2 enhancement of proliferation of 50-kDa BCGF-preactivated B cells. In addition, 50-kDa BCGF could induce Tac antigen on an Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B-cell line (ORSON) in the presence of a suboptimal dose of phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and also on a natural killer-like cell line (YT cells). We have therefore identified a major 50-kDa BCGF activity with Tac antigen-inducing activity that also has a synergistic effect with IL-2 on normal B-cell proliferation.

Abstract
The effect of interleukin 1 (IL 1) on the growth and differentiation of mouse myeloid leukemic cell line (M1) cells into macrophages has been studied. Purified human IL 1 beta appeared to be growth inhibitory (maximum, 50%) for M1 cells based on cell counts and [3H]thymidine incorporation. The replication of M1 cells was also inhibited by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and as little as 1 unit/ml IL 1 augmented the growth inhibition by LPS. Although IL 1 inhibited M1 cell growth, it did not induce cell differentiation by the criteria of either effect on expression of Fc receptors or on phagocytic ability. However, IL 1 augmented M1 cell differentiation in conjunction with LPS. At low doses of LPS, addition of IL 1 induced differentiation even though LPS and IL 1 by themselves did not induce differentiation. Cells treated with IL 1 for 1 day and then with LPS for an additional 2 days showed considerable augmentation of Fc receptor expression, while cells treated with the same stimuli in the reverse sequence exhibited only a low level of differentiation. Cells treated with medium alone followed by LPS showed moderate increase in Fc receptor expression. In addition, exposure of cells to IL 1 for at least 16 h was required for IL 1 augmenting effect. Therefore, IL 1 appeared to primarily influence M1 cells to become more sensitive to LPS. Treatment with both of IL 1 and LPS induced differentiation of a LPS-resistant clone of M1 cells, and IL 1 pretreatment rendered the resistant clone to become responsive to the differentiation inducing effect of LPS. Culture supernatants of M1 cells after stimulation with LPS contained IL 1-like activity by thymocyte comitogenic assays. In addition, mouse recombinant IL 1 alpha appeared to have the same activity as purified human IL 1 beta on the growth and differentiation of M1 cells. These results suggest that IL 1 may play an important role in mouse myeloid leukemic cell differentiation by acting as an autostimulating factor. IL 1 has been shown to be growth inhibitory and cytocidal for several tumor cell lines. Our results therefore suggest that the effects of IL 1 may result in the induction of terminal differentiation of some tumor cells.

Abstract
Polyclonal and monoclonal anti-human IL 1 alpha antibodies (Ab) have been established. These Ab neutralized human recombinant IL 1 alpha (rIL 1 alpha) activity effectively, but did not interfere with human rIL 1 beta, murine rIL 1 alpha, or human rIL 2 activity. Fifty percent of rIL 1 alpha activity (25 U/ml, or 2.5 ng/ml) was neutralized by less than 0.06 microgram/ml of rabbit anti-IL 1 alpha Ab (R-38.3G) and by less than 0.13 microgram/ml of monoclonal Ab (clone 28(3B1], respectively. In other experiments, 10 micrograms/ml of rabbit anti-IL 1 alpha Ab could effectively neutralize 50% of 2000 U of rIL 1 alpha activity, and the same amount of monoclonal Ab neutralized 50% of 500 U/ml of rIL 1 alpha activity. Not only IL 1 alpha activity in the thymocyte costimulator assay, but also IL 1-dependent IL 2 production by a human leukemic cell line, HSB.2 subclone, were blocked by these polyclonal or monoclonal Ab. In addition, pI 4.9 IL 1 activity produced by the myelomonocytic cell line THP-1 and by the Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B cell lines, were neutralized by these Ab, suggesting that these cell lines also produce IL 1 alpha. The specificity of these polyclonal and monoclonal Ab was further confirmed by immunochemical method (Western blotting), in which anti-IL 1 alpha Ab reacted with rIL 1 alpha in a specific manner. Furthermore, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay system has been developed that can detect low levels of IL 1 alpha activity (less than 0.3 ng/ml or less than 3 U/ml), which is still less sensitive than thymocyte comitogenic assay and considerably less sensitive than the D10 assay. Finally, anti-IL 1 alpha Ab-conjugated affinity columns were prepared, by which IL 1 alpha activity, but not IL 1 beta activity, was specifically adsorbed and eluted effectively.

Abstract
The regulation of interleukin 1 (IL 1) receptor expression on a human large granular lymphocyte cell line, YT, and fate of internalized 125I-labeled IL 1 beta (125I-IL 1 beta) were studied. YT cells were selected for this study, because this cell line expresses a large number of specific high-affinity receptor for IL 1, responds biologically to exogenously added IL 1 by expressing high-affinity IL 2 receptors, and does not produce IL 1. YT cells constitutively express approximately 7 X 10(3) IL 1 receptors/cell with a Kd approximately 10(-10) M. Neither IL 2, phorbol myristic acid, nor lipopolysaccharide affected the total binding of 125I-IL 1 beta by YT cells. In contrast, the capacity of YT cells to bind 125I-IL 1 beta when incubated at 37 degrees C for 3 to 16 hr with a low dose of purified IL 1 beta (approximately 6 U/ml) was reduced by greater than 80%. The loss of binding capability gradually recovered by 16 hr after removal of IL 1 beta from cultured YT cells. The apparent loss of IL 1 receptor expression was accompanied by the internalization of 125I-IL 1 beta into cells. Acid treatment of YT cells to remove bound 125I-IL 1 beta at 4 degrees C showed that 50% of the 125I-IL 1 beta bound to cells could no longer be recovered after 30 min at 37 degrees C, and this increased to 80% after 3 hr at 37 degrees C. Fractionation of cell extracts on Percoll gradient additionally showed 125I-IL 1 beta to appear intracellularly after receptor binding on plasma membranes, and to be successively transferred to some membranous organelles (d approximately equal to 1.037) through an intermediate density organelle (d approximately equal to 1.050), and to finally end up in lysosomal cell fractions (d approximately equal to 1.05 to 1.08) after approximately 3 hr at 37 degrees C. Only approximately 5% of internalized 125I-IL 1 beta was released into culture media by 6 hr of incubation at 37 degrees C. However, the radioactivity in the TCA soluble fraction of the culture media increased gradually by 6 hr and a lysosomotropic enzyme, ethylamine, significantly inhibited both the transfer of internalized 125I-IL 1 beta to the lysosomal fraction and the degradation of 125I-IL 1 beta. This study represents the first evidence of autoregulation of IL 1 receptors by IL 1 and internalization of IL 1 molecules after binding to receptors.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
In vitro studies suggest that purified IL 1 beta derived from normal human peripheral blood monocytes and human myelomonocytic cell line THP-1 cell supernatants was capable of modest augmentation of NK activity of purified LGL and of promoting monocyte cytotoxicity for the human melanoma A375 target cells. In addition, purified IL 1 beta also has direct cytostatic and cytocidal effects for A375 cells. A375 melanoma cells were cloned to obtain a homogeneous population of IL 1 receptor-bearing target cells. Recombinant human IL 1 alpha inhibited the proliferation of these cells within 48-72 h in a dose-dependent manner. Similar doses of recombinant IL 1 alpha exhibited inhibitory effects on the ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity of A375 cells by 6-24 h. Putrescine, a nontoxic product of the ODC pathway, could prevent the cytostatic effect of recombinant IL 1 alpha on these tumor target cells. This observation indicates that inhibition of the ODC pathway is causally related to the antiproliferative effect of IL 1 on these tumor cells.
