Abstract
The endothelium controls the influx of macromolecules into the tissues, a process that may be disturbed at sites of inflammation and in atherosclerotic plaques. In this article, we report our evaluations of the effects of the inflammatory mediator, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), on the production of prostacyclin and the barrier function of human endothelial cell monolayers in an in vitro model. TNF-alpha (500 units/ml) had no direct effect on the passage of sucrose, peroxidase, and low density lipoprotein through monolayers of human aortic endothelial cells. On the other hand, during the first hours after addition 500 units/ml TNF-alpha induced a reduction of the permeability of umbilical artery endothelial cell monolayers. Within 10 minutes TNF-alpha induced an increase in prostacyclin production by primary cultures of umbilical artery endothelial cells. However, the reduction in permeability was not caused by a change in prostacyclin production or by a change in cyclic AMP concentration because 1) the effect of TNF-alpha on permeability was not prevented by aspirin, 2) no change in the cellular cyclic AMP concentration could be observed after addition of TNF-alpha, and 3) TNF-alpha was still able to reduce the passage rate in the presence of 25 microM forskolin. The reduction in permeability was accompanied by a decrease of F-actin in stress fibers. With prolonged incubation with TNF-alpha, the permeability of umbilical artery endothelial cell monolayers increased, and F-actin was found again in stress fibers. However, these effects of TNF-alpha were only significant at high concentrations of TNF-alpha.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The acute effects of TNF on the microcirculation were studied by in vivo microscopy in rat cremaster muscle. The changes in arteriolar diameter after topical administration of recombinant TNF (rTNF; 10(-4)-10(4) ng/ml) were studied in second-, third-, and fourth-order arterioles (A2-A4) whose mean diameters under control conditions were 64.3, 30.7, and 14.8 microns respectively. rTNF induced a concentration-dependent vasodilation whose amplitude was largest for the smallest arterioles. At the highest concentration tested, arteriolar diameter increased by 21, 29, and 41% of control diameter for the A2, A3, and A4 arterioles, respectively. Indomethacin or mefenamic acid, two structurally different prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors, markedly inhibited the degree of vasodilation induced by rTNF in the three arteriolar orders. As regards the effect of rTNF on vasoconstriction in response to norepinephrine, vasoconstriction was greatest for the smallest arterioles, and did not change 10 min after rTNF administration for any of the three arteriolar orders. We conclude that (a) rTNF has a direct vasodilatory effect which is greatest in the smallest arterioles, (b) this vasodilation is at least partly mediated by prostaglandins, and (c) administration of rTNF in itself does not acutely alter the response of the arterioles to vasopressive drugs.

Abstract
This study was designed to identify the set of functions activated in cultured endothelial cells by the hematopoietic growth factors, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and granulocyte macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and to compare them with those elicited by prototypic cytokines active on these cells. Moreover, indications as to the in vivo relevance of in vitro effects were obtained. G-CSF and GM-CSF induced endothelial cells to proliferate and migrate. In contrast, unlike appropriate reference cytokines (IL-1 and tumor necrosis factor, IFN-gamma), G-CSF and GM-CSF did not modulate endothelial cell functions related to hemostasis-thrombosis (production of procoagulant activity and of platelet activating factor), inflammation (expression of leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 and production of platelet activating factor), and accessory function (expression of class II antigens of MHC). Other colony-stimulating factors (IL-3 and macrophage-colony-stimulating factor) were inactive on all functions tested. In comparison to basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), G-CSF and GM-CSF induced lower maximal proliferation of endothelial cells, whereas migration was of the same order of magnitude. G-CSF and GM-CSF stimulated repair of mechanically wounded endothelial monolayers. Exposure to both cytokines induced shape changes and cytoskeletal reorganization consistent with a migratory phenotype. To explore the in vivo relevance of the in vitro effects of these cytokines on endothelium, we studied the angiogenic activity of human G-CSF in the rabbit cornea. G-CSF, but not the heat-inactivated molecule, had definite angiogenic activity, without any sign of inflammatory reactions. G-CSF was less active than bFGF. However, the combination of a nonangiogenic dose of bFGF with G-CSF resulted in an angiogenic response higher than that elicited by either individual cytokines. Thus, G-CSF and GM-CSF induce endothelial cells to express an activation/differentiation program (including proliferation and migration) related to angiogenesis.

Abstract
L929, a murine fibrosarcoma cell line highly sensitive to the anti-proliferative and cytotoxic action of tumour necrosis factor (TNF), was used as a target cell in our studies. We [Suffys et al. (1987) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 149, 735-743], as well as others, have previously provided evidence that a phospholipase (PL), most probably a PL-A2-type enzyme, is likely to be involved in TNF-mediated cell killing. We now further document this conclusion and provide suggestive evidence that the enzyme activity specifically involved in TNF cytotoxicity differs from activities associated with the eventual cell death process itself or with non-toxic serum treatment. We also show that the 5,8,11,14-icosatetraenoic acid (arachidonic acid, delta 4 Ach) released by PL, and possibly metabolized, is unlikely to be a key mediator of the TNF-mediated cytotoxicity. These conclusions are based on the following experimental findings. 1. TNF treatment of cells, prelabelled for 24 h with [3H] delta 4Ach or [14C] delta 3Ach (delta 3Ach identical to 5,8,11-icosatrienoic acid) resulted in an early, time-dependent and concentration-dependent release of radioactivity in the supernatant preceding actual cell death. The extent of this response was moderate, albeit reproducible and significant. Analysis of the total lipid fraction from cells plus supernatant revealed that only release of arachidonic acid from phospholipids, but not its metabolization was induced by TNF. However, the release of less unsaturated fatty acids, such as linoleic acid (Lin) or palmitic acid (Pam), was not affected during the first hours after TNF addition. 2. An L929 subclone, selected for resistance to TNF toxicity, was found to be defective in TNF-induced delta 4Ach libration. 3. Interleukin-1 (IL1) was not cytotoxic for L929 and did not induce release of delta 4Ach. 4. Release of delta 4Ach was not restricted to TNF; the addition of serum to the cells also induced release of fatty acids into the medium. In this case, however, there was no specificity, as all fatty acids tested, including Lin and Pam, were released. 5. Inhibition of PL-A2 activity by appropriate drugs markedly diminished TNF-induced delta 4Ach release and resulted also in a strong decrease in TNF-induced cytotoxicity. 6. Other drugs, including serine protease inhibitors, which strongly inhibit TNF-induced cytotoxicity, also decreased the TNF-induced delta 4Ach release, whereas LiCl potentiated both TNF-mediated effects. 7. Protection of cells against TNF toxicity by means of various inhibitors was not counteracted by addition of exogenous fatty acids, including delta 4Ach.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Human serum stimulated the synthesis of a vasoconstrictive peptide, endothelin-1 (ET-1), and a vasodilatory prostanoid, prostacyclin (PGI2), by cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Incubation in 20% concentration of the serum for 24 h stimulated ET-1 synthesis almost six-fold while PGI2 production increased two-fold. In addition, a tumor-promoting phorbol ester, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), inhibited the serum-induced ET-1 production and stimulated PGI2 synthesis in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Our results suggest that human serum derived factor(s) stimulate the production of vasoconstrictive ET-1 more potently than the synthesis of vasodilatory PGI2 by human vascular endothelial cells and that the production of these agents is differentially regulated by PMA.

Abstract
Endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) causes vasodilatation by activating soluble guanylate cyclase, and glomerular mesangial cells respond to NO with elevations of intracellular guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP). We explored whether mesangial cells can be stimulated to produce NO and whether NO modulates mesangial cell function in an autocrine or paracrine fashion. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) raised mesangial cell cGMP levels in a time- and concentration-dependent manner (threshold dose 1 ng/ml, IC50 13.8 ng/ml, maximal response 100 ng/ml). TNF-alpha-induced increases in mesangial cGMP content were evident at 8 h and maximal at 18-24 h. The TNF-alpha-induced stimulation of mesangial cell cGMP production was abrogated by actinomycin D or cycloheximide suggesting dependence on new RNA or protein synthesis. Hemoglobin and methylene blue, both known to inhibit NO action, dramatically reduced TNF-alpha-induced mesangial cell cGMP production. Superoxide dismutase, known to potentiate NO action, augmented the TNF-alpha-induced effect. Ng-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA) decreased cGMP levels in TNF-alpha-treated, but not vehicle-treated mesangial cells in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50 53 microM). L-arginine had no effect on cGMP levels in control or TNF-alpha-treated mesangial cells but reversed L-NMMA-induced inhibition. Interleukin 1 beta and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), but not interferon gamma, also increased mesangial cell cGMP content. Transforming growth factor beta 1 blunted the mesangial cell response to TNF-alpha. TNF-alpha-induced L-arginine-dependent increases in cGMP were also evident in bovine renal artery vascular smooth muscle cells, COS-1 cells, and 1502 human fibroblasts. These findings suggest that TNF-alpha induces expression in mesangial cell of an enzyme(s) involved in the formation of L-arginine-derived NO. Moreover, the data indicate that NO acts in an autocrine and paracrine fashion to activate mesangial cell soluble guanylate cyclase. Cytokine-induced formation of NO in mesangial and vascular smooth muscle cells may be implicated in the pathogenesis of septic shock.

Abstract
We have investigated the effects of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor (TNF)/cachectin on the cellular binding of human low density lipoprotein (LDL) to human skin fibroblasts. When recombinant TNF was added to cultured cells, LDL binding doubled after 24 h of incubation. The effect of TNF was dose-dependent and its maximal effect was observed at concentrations of 1-10 ng/ml. TNF also stimulated the growth of human skin fibroblasts 1.6-fold. These results indicate that TNF increases LDL-receptor activity, which might be related to its stimulatory effect on cell growth.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial cells release prostanoids, especially prostacyclin, when properly stimulated. In addition to short acting stimuli like thrombin and histamine an increased prostanoid release occurs in the presence of endotoxin, interleukin 1 or tumor necrosis factor (TNF). The response of sinusoidal endothelial liver cells to such stimuli - probably important in hepatic inflammatory disease - is unknown. Sinusoidal endothelial liver cells from the guinea pig were isolated by centrifugal elutriation and investigated as confluent monolayers. Their prostanoid release in response to endotoxin and human recombinant TNF was determined by radioimmunoassays and compared to that obtained with cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells. A pronounced time- and dose-dependent release of prostanoids was found with both cell types in response to endotoxin. In contrast to umbilical vein cells, liver endothelial cells produced not only large amounts of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and some PGE2 but also thromboxane B2. Only umbilical vein endothelial cells responded to TNF with an increased 6-keto-PGF1 alpha release, emphasising the metabolic differences between both cell types.

Abstract
Prostacyclin (PGI2) is an antithrombotic factor, which may prevent the initiation and the complications of arteriosclerosis. The most important site of PGI2 production is the vascular endothelium, but little is known about how this process is regulated. In this connection, there is special interest in the roles of various growth factors released from platelets, macrophages, vascular smooth muscle cells, and the endothelial cells themselves. We investigated the effects of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and acidic and basic fibroblast growth factors (aFGF and bFGF) on the PGI2 production of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells by measuring the stable metabolite of PGI2, 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha, by radioimmunoassay. TGF-beta induced dose- and time-dependent stimulation of PGI2 production. The lowest stimulatory concentration of TGF-beta was 0.1 ng/ml, and the maximal response, a 2.1-fold rise, was obtained with 1.0 ng/ml. The effect of TGF-beta lasted 48 hours and was blocked by inhibitors of transcription, translation, and cyclooxygenase. Maximal stimulation by TGF-beta was enhanced by epidermal growth factor. PDGF and bFGF had no effect on PGI2 production, but aFGF inhibited it. This is the first demonstration that TGF-beta enhances PGI2 production by human vascular cells, and this phenomenon may be part of negative feedback mechanisms that prevent thrombosis and arteriosclerosis.

Abstract
Cytokines are recognized as critical early mediators of organ injury. We attempted to determine whether or not severe hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury results in tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) release with subsequent local and systemic tissue injury. After 90 min of lobar hepatic ischemia, TNF was measurable during the reperfusion period in the plasma of all 14 experimental animals, with levels peaking between 9 and 352 pg/ml. Endotoxin was undetectable in the plasma of these animals. Pulmonary injury, as evidenced by a neutrophilic infiltrate, edema and intra-alveolar hemorrhage developed after hepatic reperfusion. The neutrophilic infiltrate was quantitated using a myeloperoxidase (MPO) assay; this demonstrated a significant increase in MPO after only 1 h of reperfusion. Anti-TNF antiserum pretreatment significantly reduced the pulmonary MPO after hepatic reperfusion. After a 12-h reperfusion period, there was histologic evidence of intra-alveolar hemorrhage and pulmonary edema. Morphometric assessment showed that pretreatment with anti-TNF antiserum was able to completely inhibit the development of pulmonary edema. Liver injury was quantitated by measuring serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase which showed peaks at 3 and 24 h. Anti-TNF antiserum pretreatment was able to significantly reduce both of these peak elevations. These data show that hepatic ischemia/reperfusion results in TNF production, and that this TNF is intimately associated with pulmonary and hepatic injury.

Abstract
To clarify the interactions between mononuclear cells and polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and to identify the cytokine(s) that mediate the interaction, the effects of a culture supernatant of LPS-stimulated mononuclear cells on production of arachidonic acid metabolites of polymorphonuclear cells were studied. The culture supernatant of LPS-stimulated mononuclear cells increased production of prostaglandin E2 of polymorphonuclear cells. TNF alpha, but not IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, or IFN gamma, enhanced the prostaglandin E2 production when added in vitro. Additionally, an anti-rTNF alpha monoclonal antibody inhibited the stimulating activity of the culture supernatants. TNF alpha, produced by mononuclear cells, appears to play an important role in the development of inflammation, such as rheumatoid arthritis, by enhancing the arachidonic acid metabolism of the polymorphonuclear cells.

Abstract
Bacterial sepsis often precedes the development of the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and bacterial endotoxin (LPS) produces a syndrome similar to ARDS when infused into experimental animals. We determined in isolated, buffer-perfused rabbit lungs, free of plasma and circulating blood cells that LPS synergized with platelet activating factor (PAF) to injure the lung. In lungs perfused for 2 h with LPS-free buffer (less than 100 pg/ml), stimulation with 1, 10, or 100 nM PAF produced transient pulmonary hypertension and minimal edema. Lungs perfused for 2 h with buffer containing 100 ng/ml of Escherichia coli 0111:B4 LPS had slight elevation of pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and did not develop edema. In contrast, lungs exposed to 100 ng/ml of LPS for 2 h had marked increases in PAP and developed significant edema when stimulated with PAF. LPS treatment increased capillary filtration coefficient, suggesting that capillary leak contributed to pulmonary edema. LPS-primed, PAF-stimulated lungs had enhanced production of thromboxane B2 (TXB) and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha (6KPF). Indomethacin completely inhibited PAF-stimulated production of TXB and 6KPF in control and LPS-primed preparations, did not inhibit the rise in PAP produced by PAF in control lungs, but blocked the exaggerated rise in PAP and edema seen in LPS-primed, PAF-stimulated lungs. The thromboxane synthetase inhibitor dazoxiben, and the thromboxane receptor antagonist, SQ 29,548, similarly inhibited LPS-primed pulmonary hypertension and edema after PAF-stimulation. These studies indicate that LPS primes the lung for enhanced injury in response to the physiologic mediator PAF by amplifying the synthesis and release of thromboxane in lung tissue.

Abstract
Prostacyclin and endothelium-derived relaxing factor (or nitric oxide) are unstable mediators produced by the vascular endothelium, that are important for local regulation of platelet behavior and blood flow. This review focuses on the basic biochemistry and pharmacology of prostacyclin, its interactions with nitric oxide and nitrovasodilator drugs, and the implications of disturbances in this system for vascular disease, particularly hypertension and atherosclerosis. Prostacyclin and its stable analogs are also finding limited therapeutic applications in preservation of platelet function, pulmonary hypertension, and investigation into the cytoprotective and antiatherosclerotic properties is continuing.

Abstract
Septic shock remains an acute condition with a bad prognosis and a high mortality rate. This could be related to our incomplete understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms involved, especially in the immunological field. Recently, several studies have stressed the key role of cytokines. Amongst these, the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) seems to be the most important. This peptide is a hormone secreted by monocytes and macrophages under the effect of various stimuli such as lipopolysaccharides or endotoxin. Giving TNF mimicks the clinical and biological patterns of septic shock. Moreover, high concentrations of TNF have been found in patients suffering from septic shock. Pretreatment with monoclonal antibodies against TNF prevents the occurrence of septic shock after endotoxin administration. TNF acts directly via ubiquitous specific receptors; this probably explains its diffuse activity. The therapeutic implications of these recent advances are not clear. It is not known, for the moment, whether TNF secretion is beneficial or deleterious for the patient.

Abstract
Hemostasis, inflammatory reactions and immunity involve close interactions between immunocompetent cells and the vascular endothelium. Cytokines, produced by and acting on endothelial cells, are mediators of the complex bidirectional interactions between leukocytes and vascular cells. Cytokines affect endothelial cell function in inflammation, thrombosis and angiogenesis, in addition to their role as accessory cells. As well as acting as targets for the action of cytokines, endothelial cells are important producers of polypeptide mediators that regulate hematopoiesis, the differentiation and proliferation of T and B cells and the extravasation of leukocytes. In this review, Alberto Mantovani and Elisabetta Dejana discuss endothelial cells as important participants in the induction and regulation of coagulation, inflammation and immunity and cytokines as crucial mediators of the symbiotic interactions between vascular cells and leukocytes.

Abstract
Previously, we have shown that granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) stimulates histamine synthesis by normal murine hematopoietic cells. Addition of either interleukin (IL) 1 (alpha or beta) or murine recombinant tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha to murine recombinant GM-CSF (at optimal or suboptimal concentrations) enhances its activity on bone marrow histamine synthesis up to 70%. Evidence is provided that these synergies between GM-CSF and IL 1 or TNF-alpha are mediated by prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production since (a) GM-CSF together with either IL 1 or TNF-alpha stimulates PGE2 synthesis by bone marrow cells, while none of these factors does it alone; (b) exogenous PGE2 (ranging from 10(-6) M to 10(-10) M) potentiates GM-CSF-induced histamine synthesis in a dose-dependent manner; and (c) indomethacin, a cyclooxygenase inhibitor, completely abrogates the synergistic action of IL 1 and TNF-alpha on GM-CSF-induced histamine generation. Conversely, histamine synthesis promoted by IL 3, the unique cytokine sharing this property with GM-CSF, cannot be modulated by IL 1, TNF-alpha or PGE2, suggesting two distinct mechanisms for the induction of this biological activity in hematopoietic progenitor cells.

Abstract
We have investigated the release of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) by human mononuclear cells (MNC) and isolated human monocytes/macrophages stimulated with S- and R-form lipopolysaccharide (LPS), natural lipid A, and natural and synthetic partial structures thereof. We found that LPS of Salmonella minnesota (S. min.) Rb2, which represents a partial structure of wildtype LPS of Salmonella abortus equi (S.a.e.) lacking the O-chain and parts of the outer core region, was the most active inducer of all substances tested, even more active than the wildtype LPS. Lipid A also induced the production of TNF-alpha by monocytes/macrophages but was less active than wildtype LPS. The natural Escherichia coli (E. coli) type hexaacyl lipid A (compound 506) was more active than the natural S. min. type heptaacyl lipid A (compound 516). The 1- and 4'-monodephospho partial structures (compounds 505 and 504) of E. coli lipid A were less active and represented the smallest structures tested that were able to induce TNF-alpha release by monocytes/macrophages. Synthetic tetraacyl lipid A precursor Ia of E. coli lipid A, lacking non-hydroxylated fatty acids (compound 406), and the monosaccharide precursor lipid X did not induce the release of TNF-alpha in MNC or isolated monocytes/macrophages. This might indicate that the ability of a lipid A structure to induce the release of TNF-alpha is closely connected with the conditions to be at least hexaacylated and/or to contain hydroxylated fatty acids. These results demonstrate a structure-dependent hierarchy of LPS and natural or synthetic partial structures in their capacity of inducing TNF-alpha release by monocytes/macrophages.

Abstract
Prostacyclin (PGI2) is a potent vasodilator and an inhibitor of platelet aggregation. We found that antithrombin III (AT III), an anticoagulant present in circulating blood, stimulated PGI2 production by cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The stimulation of PGI2 production by AT III was observed at physiological concentrations and was inhibited by the addition of anti-AT III antiserum and heparin. These results suggest that AT III may stimulate PGI2 production by binding to heparin-like molecules on the endothelial cell membrane.

Abstract
A reduction in prostacyclin (PGI2) production by vascular wall may cause platelet hyperaggregability in diabetics, which is considered to be a possible pathogenesis of diabetic vascular complications. In the present study, the presence of PGI2-stimulatory activity (PSA) in rat and human plasma-derived serum (PDS) was confirmed by cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells. PSA in PDS was significantly decreased in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). PDS from patients with NIDDM showed less PSA prior to the clinical onset of diabetic vascular complications, such as retinopathy and proteinuria. The reduction in PSA was still observed in dialyzed PDS from the patients with NIDDM. The nondialyzable PSA was heat-stable at 56 degrees C for 30 minutes and partially stable at 100 degrees C for five minutes. This activity was not extractable with diethylether and was precipitable with trichloroacetic acid. The study of Sephadex G-50 column chromatography showed that a major part of PSA in dialyzed PDS was found in the area of the molecular weight of 12,000 to 17,000 daltons. In conclusion, the reduction in PSA from diabetics may cause a reduction of PGI2 production by vascular wall, subsequently contributing to the development of diabetic vascular complications.

Abstract
We infused recombinant human tumor necrosis factor alpha (rhTNF alpha), lymphotoxin (rhLT), and Escherichia coli 0111:B4 lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into anesthetized sheep with a lung lymph fistula to compare their effects on systemic and pulmonary hemodynamics, lung lymph dynamics, and eicosanoid release. rhTNF alpha (25-150 micrograms/kg, n = 6 sheep), but not rhLT (25 micrograms/kg, n = 3), rapidly increased lung lymph and plasma levels of 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha (6-k-PGF1 alpha) and caused profound systemic vasodilation and hypotension. Meclofenamate pretreatment (10 mg/kg) of three other sheep given 25 micrograms/kg rhTNF alpha prevented the increase of lymph and plasma 6-k-PGF1 alpha levels, systemic vasodilation, and the early (less than 2 hrs) but not the late (4-6 hours) hypotension caused by rhTNF alpha. LPS (1 micrograms/kg, n = 11) induced a briefer increase of lymph 6-k-PGF1 alpha levels than did rhTNF alpha while plasma 6-k-PGF1 alpha levels did not increase. LPS induced more gradual hypotension than did rhTNF alpha but did not cause systemic vasodilation. LPS and rhTNF alpha, but not rhLT, increased lymph thromboxane B2 (TXB2) levels during the first hour of study, whereas only LPS acutely increased plasma TXB2 levels. LPS caused acute pulmonary vasoconstriction and greater acute pulmonary artery hypertension than did either rhTNF alpha or rhLT. Whereas LPS-treated sheep required less fluid transfusion than rhTNF alpha-treated sheep to maintain mean systemic arterial pressure greater than 50 mm Hg, LPS infusion caused a greater increase of lung lymph protein clearance. rhTNF alpha caused minimal alterations of lung microvascular permeability. We conclude that eicosanoid mediators contribute importantly to differences of systemic and pulmonary hemodynamics caused by these agents in sheep. rhTNF alpha cannot account for all of the LPS-induced hemodynamic, lung lymph, and eicosanoid responses in sheep.

Abstract
Human endothelial cells produced a neutrophil chemotactic factor (NCF) upon stimulation with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), or lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The expression of endothelial cell-derived NCF messenger RNA and biological activity was both time- and concentration-dependent. Maximal NCF mRNA expression occurred at 10 and at 2 nanograms per milliliter for TNF and IL-1 beta, respectively; mRNA expression was first observed 1 hour after stimulation and was maintained for at least 24 hours. In situ hybridization analysis showed that NCF mRNA peaked in treated cells by 24 hours, whereas unstimulated cells were negative. These studies demonstrated that endothelial cells may participate in neutrophil-mediated inflammation by synthesizing a chemotactic factor in response to specific monokines and LPS.

Abstract
Angiogenin stimulates capillary and umbilical vein endothelial cell prostacyclin secretion but not that of prostaglandins of the E series. The response was quantitated by radioimmunoassay and by [3H]arachidonate labeling followed by analysis of the secreted prostaglandins. The stimulated secretion lasts for several minutes and is optimal at 2-4 min. The dose-response (peak at 1-10 ng/ml) is similar to that previously observed for activation of endothelial cell phospholipase C. Stimulated secretion was blocked by pretreatment with the inhibitors of prostacyclin synthesis, indomethacin and tranylcypromine, and also the specific inhibitor of phospholipase A2, quinacrine, as well as pertussis toxin and the diglyceryl and monoglyceryl lipase inhibitor RHC 80267. Stimulated secretion was also abolished in cells that were either pretreated for 48 hr with phorbol ester to down-regulate protein kinase C or incubated with the protein kinase inhibitor H7. Hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol by phospholipase A2 appears to be the source of angiogenin-mobilized arachidonate; angiogenin-induced hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine was not detected. Activation of phospholipase A2 occurs in the absence of an angiogenin-induced calcium flux. The results are discussed in terms of mechanisms of agonist-induced intracellular arachidonate mobilization and relevance to angiogenesis.

Abstract
Incubation of human recombinant IL-1 alpha (hrIL-1 alpha) with cultured human endothelial cells induced a dose- and time-dependent increase in the release of prostacyclin (PGI2). Above a dose of hrIL-1 alpha 0.05 units/ml and following a variable lag phase of between 2 and 4 h, PGI2 release (measured as the stable hydrolysis product 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha) was detected in the culture supernatant and levels continued to rise throughout a 48-h incubation. The release of PGI2 required the continued presence of hrIL-1 alpha, did not demonstrate tachyphylaxis and was not reduced by pre-incubation with the protein synthesis inhibitors cycloheximide, tunicamycin and actinomycin or by the calmodulin antagonist trifluoroperazine. The relationship of these results to ultraviolet radiation induced erythema is discussed.

Abstract
The effects of cachectin/tumor necrosis factor (TNF) on growth and differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells were examined. This fibroblastic cell line can be induced to differentiate into a mature cell type having the biochemical and morphological characteristics of normal adipocytes. At various stages of growth and differentiation, 3T3-L1 cells were exposed to 2.5 x 10(-16) to 2.5 x 10(-8) M (4.2 fg/ml to 420 ng/ml = ca. 1.2 x 10(-14) to 1.2 x 10(-16) U/ml) recombinant human cachectin/TNF for 24 hr, after which cytotoxicity or differentiation was evaluated. During log-phase cell growth, cachectin/TNF had no significant effect on cell viability, and the preadipocytic cells were also resistant to the cytotoxic effect of cachectin/TNF at the contact-inhibited confluent stage. However, when cachectin/TNF was added to the cells during induced differentiation, only 20% of the cells survived. After differentiation into adipocytes, cells regained their resistance to cachectin/TNF-induced cytotoxicity. Cachectin/TNF also markedly affected the differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells into adipocytes. When cells in the confluent phase of growth were exposed to cachectin/TNF for 24 hr, their subsequent hormone-induced differentiation to adipocytes was inhibited. Like cachectin/TNF, IL-1 also induces suppression of lipoprotein lipase and enhances lipolysis in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes; however, in contrast to cachectin/TNF, IL-1 had no effect on the viability or differentiation of pre-adipocyte 3T3-L1 cells. These results indicate that the cytotoxic action of cachectin/TNF varies in the same cell type depending on the stage of growth or differentiation. The results also imply that cachectin/TNF may play a normal role in controlling the differentiation of certain types of cells in vivo including adipocyte lineages.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor alpha, or cachectin (TNF), is a polypeptide mediator with proinflammatory and antitumor actions. It is produced in large amounts by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated macrophages. TNF as well as LPS stimulated the arachidonate cascade leading to the synthesis of leukotrienes (LT) in vivo. Production of endogenous cysteinyl LT was measured in anesthetized rat using the biliary excretion of N-acetyl-LTE4 as an indicator. Infusion of TNF over a 1-h period greatly increased the rate of cysteinyl LT production during the subsequent 3 h. Pretreatment with anti-TNF antibody F(ab')2 fragments prevented enhanced LT generation as well as tachypnea (a sign of the in vivo action of TNF). LT production elicited by TNF was similar to that evoked by infusion of LPS. Our results indicate that lipoxygenase products are involved in the network of pathophysiological events induced by TNF. The proinflammatory and shock-inducing LT may mediate many of the adverse effects of TNF in vivo as well as its antitumor action.

Abstract
Monokines have been increasingly recognized as communication signals that interact with both immune and non-immune cells during inflammation. Specifically, interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) possess potent effector activities on various cell types. We present novel data demonstrating that human endothelial cells are a major source of a neutrophil chemotactic factor (NCF) synthesized upon stimulation with either IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta, or TNF-alpha; but not with interleukin-6 (IL-6). Northern blot analysis demonstrated that 20 ng/ml of either IL-1 or TNF-alpha could induce endothelial cells to express significant levels of NCF mRNA, while IL-6 was not active in this system. These data demonstrate that monokines play an important role in mediating acute inflammation via induction of an endothelial cell-derived NCF.

Abstract
The effect of interleukin 1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) on the induction of prostacyclin (PGI2) synthesis in human vascular endothelial cells (EC) was investigated. Both IL-1 and TNF increased PGI2 production by EC in both a time- and dose-dependent manner, and a combination of the two cytokines additively enhanced PGI2 production. Metabolic inhibitors including indomethacin and cycloheximide abolished cytokine induced PGI2 synthesis. Since, the effect of TNF was not inhibited by neutralization with antibody to IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta, it seems that the mechanism is not mediated by endogenous IL-1 induced by TNF.

Abstract
We report that IL 1 acts on the endothelium, inducing a long-lasting increase in its adhesivity to tumor cells. Selective pretreatment of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (EC) with IL 1 caused a significant increase in adhesion of three human colorectal carcinoma (HT-29, HCC-P2988, and HCC-M1410) cell lines and one human melanoma (A-375) cell line. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) was as effective as IL 1 in promoting tumor cell adhesion to EC, whereas IFN gamma and IL 2 were inactive. The IL 1 and TNF induction of EC adhesivity was both concentration (threshold concentration 1 U/ml) and time dependent (peak 4-6 h), reversible within 24 h, and blocked by a protein synthesis inhibitor. The IL 1 and TNF action on EC may play a role in tumor cell lodgement.

Abstract
Monocytes and tissue macrophages produce at least two groups of protein mediators of inflammation, interleukin 1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Recent studies have emphasized that TNF and IL-1 modulate the inflammatory function of endothelial cells, leukocytes, and fibroblasts. Although these cytokines share a number of biologic properties, they have quite distinct gene and protein structures. It is our purpose to focus on the role of these mediators in inflammation.

Abstract
Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) is an important mediator of endotoxin-induced vascular collapse and other inflammatory reactions. Eicosanoids have been implicated in the pathogeensis of these responses. In order to explore further the potential interactions between TNF and eicosanoid metabolism in eliciting vascular responses, we studied the effects of TNF on the bovine endothelial cell line CPAE. TNF induced cellular retraction observed by light microscope. This morphological change was monitored by the passage of iodinated protein A between adjacent cells and by release of [3H]arachidonic acid metabolites from cells. Both the morphological and functional responses were abrogated by inhibition of eicosanoid synthesis with BW755c. The release of [3H]arachidonic acid metabolites appeared to be mediated by a transient increase in phospholipase A2 activity. Phospholipase C activity was not affected by TNF. The maximal increase in phospholipase A2 activity occurred at 5 min following the addition of TNF. Phospholipase A2 activation, [3H]arachidonic acid-metabolite synthesis and passage of iodinated protein A, required both RNA and protein synthesis and were associated with an increase in the synthesis of a recently described phospholipase A2-activating protein. The Bordetella pertussis toxin, islet-activating protein, also inhibited the increase in phospholipase A2 activity, the release of [3H]arachidonic acid metabolites and the passage of iodinated protein A, suggesting that the TNF receptor-ligand interaction resulting in cellular retraction, phospholipase A2 activation and eicosanoid synthesis, is coupled through the Ni guanine nucleotide regulatory protein in these cells.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) has been shown to induce the phosphorylation of a 27 kDa protein in a time- and concentration-dependent manner in HeLa D98/AH2, ME 180 and bovine aortic endothelial cells. This phosphorylation could be reproduced by the calcium ionophore, A23187. However, this phosphorylation was not observed in L929 cells, for which TNF is highly cytotoxic, suggesting that it might play a role in actions of TNF other than the induction of cell death.

Abstract
The incubation of human umbilical cord endothelial cell cultures with inflammatory mediators results in the induction of procoagulant activity. As many of these mediators activate protein kinase C, the effect of calmodulin and protein kinase C inhibitors on IL-1, TNF, phorbol ester and LPS stimulated procoagulant activity was determined. Incubation of endothelial cell cultures with these inflammatory agents in the presence of phenothiazine derivatives or other classes of calmodulin and protein kinase C antagonists resulted in a 2-4 fold increase in procoagulant activity compared to parallel stimulated cultures in the absence of antagonists. The augmented response of IL-1 stimulated endothelial cells to these antagonists was actinomycin D sensitive.

Abstract
The mechanism of tumour necrosis factor-mediated cytotoxicity was investigated by using various inhibitors of arachidonic acid metabolism. Phospholipase A2 inhibitors with different modes of action interfered with the cytotoxic action of TNF, whereas phospholipase C inhibitors did not. Neither cyclooxygenase nor lipoxygenase-blockers had a significant effect on TNF action. Experiments with scavengers of toxic oxygen radicals gave ambiguous results. The data obtained suggest the involvement of phospholipase A2 and arachidonic acid in the cytotoxic mechanism of TNF, but the exact role of these molecules is, however, still to be determined.
