Abstract
Since Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling was found crucial for the activation of innate and adaptive immunity, it has been the focus of immunological research. There are at least 13 identified mammalian TLRs, to date, that share similarities in their extracellular and intracellular domains. A vast number of ligands have been identified that are specifically recognized by different TLRs. As a response the TLRs dimerize and their signaling is initiated. The molecular basis of that signaling depends on the conserved part of their intracellular domain; namely the Toll/IL-1 receptor (TIR) domain. Upon TLR dimerization a TIR-TIR structure is formed that can recruit TIR-containing intracellular proteins that mediate their signaling. For this reason these proteins are named adapters. There are five adapters identified so far named myeloid differentiation primary response protein 88 (MyD88), MyD88-adapter like (Mal) or TIR domain-containing adapter (TIRAP), TIR domain-containing adapter inducing interferon-beta (IFN-beta) (TRIF) or TIR-containing adapter molecule-1 (TICAM-1), TRIF-related adapter molecule (TRAM) or TICAM-2, and sterile alpha and HEAT-Armadillo motifs (SARM). The first four play a fundamental role in TLR-signaling, defining which pathways will be activated, depending on which of these adapters will be recruited by each TLR. Among these adapter proteins MyD88 and TRIF are now considered as the signaling ones and hence the TLR pathways can be categorized as MyD88-dependent and TRIF-dependent.

Abstract
We investigated the composition of the endogenous ligand-bound type I interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor (IL-1RI) signaling complex using immunoprecipitation and tandem mass spectrometry. Three proteins with approximate molecular masses of 60 (p60), 36 (p36), and 90 kDa (p90) became phosphorylated after treatment with IL-1. Phosphorylation in vitro of p60 has been reported previously, but its identity was unknown. We showed using tandem mass spectrometry that p60 is identical to interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK)-4. MS also enabled detection of IL-1, IL-1RI, IL-1 receptor accessory protein (IL-1RAcP), and myeloid differentiation primary response protein 88 (MyD88) in the complex. The p60 protein (IRAK-4) was the earliest component of the complex to be phosphorylated. Phosphorylated IRAK-4 from the receptor complex migrated more slowly in SDS-PAGE than its unphosphorylated form as did recombinant IRAK-4 autophosphorylated in vitro. Phosphorylation was restricted to serine and threonine residues. IRAK-4, p36, IL-1RAcP, and MyD88 bound to the liganded receptor within 15 s of activation by IL-1 and remained associated upon prolonged activation, suggesting that the signaling complex is very stable. The p90 phosphoprotein was only transiently associated with the receptor. This behavior and its size were consistent with it being IRAK-1. Our work revealed that liganding of IL-1RI causes its strong and stable association with IL-1RAcP, MyD88, and the previously unidentified protein p60 (IRAK-4). The only component of the IL-1RI signaling complex that dissociated is IRAK-1. Our study is therefore the first detailed description of the endogenous IL-1RI complex.

Abstract
This study shows that increase in IL-1 receptor levels by platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) involves an enhancement of a matrix-dependent, low-affinity receptor that constitutes a heparan sulfate. Fibronectin attachment caused pronounced alterations in IL-1 receptor function in smooth muscle cells, involving a pronounced increase in cell surface binding from an average of 2,000 up to approximately 8,000 receptors/cell and an increase in affinity (K(a)) of the type I receptor from 1.8 +/- 0.9 x 10(9) to 3.7 +/- 0.5 x 10(9) M(-1). PDGF stimulation similarly enhanced the level of cell surface binding by between 30% and 100%, with, in general, less effect on cells plated on fibronectin. Further, PDGF had a pronounced effect on the type I receptor affinity in the absence of matrix attachment, increasing the K(a) from 1.77 +/- 0.93 x 10(9) to 5.1 +/- 2.1 x 10(9) M(-1). Scatchard analyses revealed that PDGF, similarly to fibronectin attachment, caused enhancement of a second low-affinity binding site. Antibody blocking showed that approximately 50% of the attachment-induced increase was independent of type I receptor binding. Further, a similar fraction of the cell surface interaction was blocked by soluble heparan sulfate and dependent on cell binding to the heparan binding site. Cross-linking demonstrated that, in addition to the type I receptor, IL-1 bound to a second high molecular weight complex of 300 kd, induced by fibronectin attachment as well as by PDGF in the absence of matrix. Biochemical analyses demonstrated that this second site constitutes a heparan sulfate, which directly interacted with the type I receptor after recruitment to the complex, and which bound up to 50% and 25% of the ligand after fibronectin attachment and PDGF stimulation, respectively. The data show that PDGF induces an attachment-regulated low-affinity IL-1 binding site in smooth muscle cells, constituting a heparan sulfate. Correlation of the recruitment of this component to the IL-1 receptor complex with structural regulation of receptor function and enhancement of IL-1-mediated responses suggests that this is a significant mechanism in PDGF augmentation of local inflammatory responses during vessel wall pathogenesis.

Abstract
Type I interleukin-1 receptor is the prototype for a family of proteins, which play a central role in early responses to injury and infection. The similarity of function across the family is reflected in similarity in signaling: all members tested couple to activation of NFkappaB and stress kinases. The coupling to these pathways is mediated by a 200-residue intracellular domain (the Toll/interleukin-1 receptor domain), in which sequence conservation is primarily confined to three short motifs (boxes 1, 2, and 3) located at amino acid residue positions 10 (box 1), 60 (box 2), and 170 (box 3). We have analyzed the contribution of these motifs to function by alanine scanning mutagenesis of the human interleukin-1 receptor type I. Mutant receptors were tested for expression, ligand binding, activation of receptor-associated kinase(s), NFkappaB, stress kinases, and transcription. Mutations in all three motifs led to low cell surface expression. Mutants in box 3 were, however, wild type for signaling, whereas mutants in boxes 1 and 2 were defective. We conclude that the conserved motifs box 1 and box 2 mediate the coupling of molecules in the family to inflammation signaling pathways.

Abstract
In this study, we identified an adhesion-regulated subunit of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor complex. Transfection of fibroblasts with an IL-1 receptor-EGFP construct showed that the fusion protein was located at focal adhesions in cells attaching to fibronectin. Fibronectin attachment caused enhancement in endogenous IL-1 type I receptor levels from on average 2500 to 4300 receptors/cell. In addition, matrix attachment resulted in a decrease in binding affinity (Ka) from 1.0 x 10(9) (M-1) to 5.6 x 10(8) (M-1), due to a 2-fold reduction in association rate constant. The adhesion-mediated effects were reversed by soluble heparin. Cross-linking experiments showed that in cells attached to fibronectin, 50-70% of the radiolabeled IL-1 was associated with a heparinase sensitive, high molecular mass component of about 300 kDa, with a core protein of 80-90 kDa. Formation of the complex was dependent on cell interaction with the heparin binding region in fibronectin and required IL-1/type I IL-1 receptor binding. This report demonstrates the recruitment of a heparan sulfate to the IL-1 receptor complex, following attachment to fibronectin, which correlates with alterations in receptor function. The data suggest that the heparan sulfate constitutes an attachment regulated component of the IL-1 receptor complex with the role of mediating matrix regulation of IL-1 responses.

Abstract
TRAIL-R3, a new member of the TRAIL receptor family, has been cloned and characterized. TRAIL-R3 encodes a 299 amino acid protein with 58 and 54% overall identity to TRAIL-R1 and -R2, respectively. Transient expression and quantitative binding studies show TRAIL-R3 to be a plasma membrane-bound protein capable of high affinity interaction with the TRAIL ligand. The TRAIL-R3 gene maps to human chromosome 8p22-21, clustered with the genes encoding two other TRAIL receptors. In contrast to TRAIL-R1 and -R2, this receptor shows restricted expression, with transcripts detectable only in peripheral blood lymphocytes and spleen. The structure of TRAIL-R3 is unique when compared to the other TRAIL receptors in that it lacks a cytoplasmic domain and appears to be glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol-linked. Moreover, unlike TRAIL-R1 and -R2, in a transient overexpression system TRAIL-R3 does not induce apoptosis.

Abstract
Following interleukin (IL)-1 stimulation, the majority of the cellular interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK) translocates to a discrete subset of the Type I IL-1 receptor (IL-1R1) in MRC-5 human lung fibroblasts. As the IRAK becomes multiphosphorylated, it is degraded by proteasomes at a rate comparable to that of the degradation of the phosphorylated IkappaBalpha protein. Proteasome inhibitors block the degradation of phosphorylated IRAK and correspondingly increase the amount of IL-1R1 that can be coimmunoprecipitated with IRAK. The nonspecific kinase inhibitor K-252b blocks IRAK phosphorylation and degradation, but does not inhibit IRAK association with the IL-1R1 indicating that translocation of IRAK to the IL-1R1 and its phosphorylation are independent events. The IL-1 specificity of these effects is indicated by the lack of IRAK phosphorylation and degradation by IL-1 in the presence of the IL-1 receptor antagonist or by the activation of MRC-5 cells by tumor necrosis factor alpha. Long term exposure of MRC-5 cells to IL-1 desensitizes the resynthesized IkappaBalpha to IL-1, but not to tumor necrosis factor alpha stimulation, but no additional effects on IRAK are seen.

Abstract
On the basis of their relative hydropathy and alpha-helical structure, we prepared antibodies to four synthetic peptides with amino acid sequences homolgous to four hydrophilic, extracellular regions of the murine 80 kDa type I interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1RI). Antibodies to each of the four peptides recognized their specific immunogen. Human [125I]-IL-1 alpha or -beta was crosslinked to murine EL4 and D10S cells. Antiserum to peptide 150-166 precipitated the IL-1/IL-1R complex, whereas antibodies to peptide 66-84, 190-200, or 266-285 did not. Antibody to peptide 150-166 did not precipitate the type II IL-1R. Anti-IL-1RI150-166 blocked 71% of the binding of radiolabeled human IL-1 beta to EL4 cells and 50% of the binding to D10S cells. Using affinity-purified anti-IL-1RI150-166, we compared the ability of this antibody to inhibit the binding of murine or human IL-1 alpha to that of murine or human IL-1 beta. At a concentration of 20 ng/ml, affinity-purified anti-IL-1RI150-166 blocked 50% binding of murine IL-1 beta. At 1 microgram/ml, 90% blockage was observed. In contrast, no significant blockade of IL-1 alpha binding was observed at concentrations as high as 3 micrograms/ml of anti-IL-1RI150-166. The selective blockade of IL-1 beta forms was not due to differences in the affinities of these ligands for receptors on these cells. The antibody also blocked the binding of human IL-1 beta but not human IL-1 alpha to EL4 cells. The biologic activity of murine IL-1 beta but not IL-1 alpha on EL4 cells was also inhibited by this antibody. These data suggest (1) that antibody to a specific epitope on the extracellular domain interferes with the binding of IL-1 beta but not IL-1 alpha, (2) the differential inhibition of binding of IL-1 beta but not IL-1 alpha by anti-IL-1RI150-166 also blocks biologic activity, and (3) IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta may transduce different signals by binding to separate loci on the IL-1RI.

Abstract
Human tissue contents of gliostatin/platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (PD-ECGF) and its drug-induced expression in tumor cells were currently examined by a sandwich enzyme immunoassay (EIA) system and a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method. Gliostatin/PD-ECGF was found to distribute in rather ubiquitous than specific human tissues and organs, with a relatively high levels in the tissues of digestive system (esophagus and rectum), brain, spleen, bladder and lung, but not in gall bladder, aorta, muscle, fat and kidney. Most of examined human tumor cell lines showed 4- or 5-fold higher contents (21.5 +/- 3.9 ng/mg protein) than normal tissue contents (4.4 +/- 1.1 ng/mg protein) on the average. While gliostatin/PD-ECGF is known to lack a signal sequence, some tumor cells (A431 and MKN74) appeared to release it into the conditioned medium. Expression of gliostatin/PD-ECGF in epidermoid carcinoma cell (A431) and stomach cancer cell (MKN45) was induced by dibutyryl cyclic AMP and phorbol ester, and uniquely in MKN45 by hydrocortisone. In particular, this hydrocortisone specifically caused an increase of the apparent secretion of MKN74 without its cytotoxic effects, suggesting a possible secretion of gliostatin/PD-ECGF in the restricted but not universal cell line. Biological significance on the chemical induction of gliostatin/PD-ECGF in tumor cells and on its extracellular secretion are discussed.

Abstract
The binding proteins, or receptors, for insecticidal Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki delta-endotoxins are located in the brush border membranes of susceptible insect midguts. The interaction of one of these toxins, CryIA(c), with proteins isolated from Heliothis virescens larval midguts was investigated. To facilitate the identification of solubilized putative toxin-binding proteins, a solid-phase binding assay was developed and compared with toxin overlay assays. The overlay assays demonstrated that a number of proteins of 170, 140, 120, 90, 75, 60, and 50 kDa bound the radiolabeled CryIA(c) toxin. Anion-exchange fractionation allowed the separation of these proteins into three toxin binding fractions, or pools. Toxin overlay assays demonstrated that although the three pools had distinct protein profiles, similar-size proteins could be detected in these three pools. However, determination of toxin affinity by using the solid-phase binding assay showed that only one of the three pools contained high-affinity binding proteins. The Kd obtained, 0.65 nM, is similar to that of the unsolubilized brush border membrane vesicles. Thus, the solid-phase binding assay in combination with the toxin overlay assay facilitates the identification and purification of high-affinity B. thuringiensis toxin-binding proteins from the insect midgut.

Abstract
In vitro exposure of rat pancreatic beta cells to interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) inhibits glucose-stimulated insulin release (2140 +/- 239 and 323 +/- 80 pg.islet-1.h-1 at glucose levels of 16.7 mmol/l in control and IL-1 beta-exposed islets, respectively, n = 7, p < 0.001). Cholera toxin (2 micrograms/ml) or pertussis toxin (0.5 microgram/ml) potentiated, as expected, glucose-induced insulin release in control islets, but, in addition, when added together with IL-1 beta, were able to prevent the IL-1 beta mediated inhibition of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (2087 +/- 301 and 1662 +/- 173 pg.islet-1.h-1, respectively, p < 0.05 vs islets exposed to IL-1 beta alone). To investigate the mechanism by which the toxins prevent the IL-1 beta effect, we then measured nitrite levels, glucose oxidation and Ca2+ uptake. Nitrite levels in the culture medium were 4.2 +/- 1.4 and 24.0 +/- 5 pmol.islet-1.24 h-1 in control islets and in IL-1 beta-exposed islets, respectively (n = 6, p = 0.05). In islets exposed to IL-1 beta and cholera or pertussis toxins, nitrite levels were 9.1 +/- 3 and 12.4 +/- 6 pmol.islet-1.24 h-1, respectively (n = 6, NS vs control islets). Glucose oxidation at 16.7 mmol/l glucose was 31.1 +/- 2.9 pmol.islet-1.120 min-1 in control islets and 16.8 +/- 2.7 pmol.islet-1.120 min-1 in IL-1 beta-treated islets (p < 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The interleukin-1 binding B15R protein of Vaccinia virus and murine T1 are related extracellular glycoprotein with similarity to the extracellular domain of interleukin-1 receptors. In cells infected with a recombinant Vaccinia virus directing the overexpression of T1, production of the endogenous viral B15R protein is abrogated. T1 synthesis specifically interferes with the production of B15R, but not of other secretory viral proteins. Inhibition of B15R expression occurs at the posttranscriptional level, is exerted in trans and requires the presence of T1 protein in the infected cell. These results suggest a common maturation pathway for the B15R and T1 protein which might also apply to other members of the interleukin-1 receptor family.

Abstract
4-1BB is an inducible T cell antigen that shows sequence homology to members of an emerging family of cytokine receptors, including those for tumor necrosis factor and nerve growth factor. To aid in the analysis of the function of 4-1BB we have utilized a soluble form of the molecule as a probe to identify and clone the gene which encodes its ligand. The ligand for 4-1BB is a type II membrane glycoprotein that has homology to tumor necrosis factor, lymphotoxin, and the ligands for CD40 and CD27, all of which are themselves ligands to receptors in this superfamily. The gene for 4-1BB is on mouse chromosome 4 and maps close to the p80 form of the tumor necrosis factor receptor as well as the gene for CD30. The gene for 4-1BB ligand maps to mouse chromosome 17, but considerably distal to the tumor necrosis factor and lymphotoxin genes. Interaction of 4-1BB with its ligand induces the proliferation of activated thymocytes and splenic T cells, a response which is mimicked on similar cell populations stimulated with an antibody to 4-1BB.

Interleukin (IL)-1 alpha and beta are cytokines which can mediate inflammatory, bone resorbing, and reparative effects in the periodontium, but few longitudinal data exist exploring their role following periodontal therapy. This study examined gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) concentrations of IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta at sites with shallow sulci (SS) or inflamed moderate/advanced pockets (M/AP) before and 6 months after treatment with closed scaling/root planing (SC/RP) or papillary flap debridement (PFD), all in the same subject (n = 14 patients). No significant differences were noted in IL-1 alpha or beta concentrations (determined with two-site enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays) between SS and M/AP sites at baseline. While both therapies improved clinical parameters of periodontal disease, IL-1 alpha concentration increased significantly (p < 0.05) in M/AP-PFD sites 6 months after treatment, but were unchanged in other groups. IL-1 beta concentrations were numerically lower after therapy, except for a significant increase (p < 0.05) in M/AP-PFD sites. These data suggest that surgical wound healing in an inflamed, plaque-infected site (M/AP-PFD) results in prolonged production of IL-1, which may be a reflection of the extent of tissue trauma and delayed wound healing. In spite of increased IL-1 levels, these sites demonstrated significant short-term improvement in clinical attachment level (+ 1.8 mm, p < or = 0.001) postoperatively.

Abstract
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) interacts with cells through two types of binding molecules, IL-1 type I receptor (IL-1R I) and IL-1R II. The function of IL-1R II is unknown. In studies using monoclonal antibodies, IL-1 prolonged the in vitro survival of polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) through IL-1R I, and IL-4 antagonized the action of IL-1 by inducing expression and release of IL-1R II. Dexamethasone also induced expression and release of the IL-1R II in PMN. These results, together with the effect of antibodies to IL-1R on IL-1-induced production of cytokines in monocytes, indicate that IL-1 acts on myelomonocytic cells through IL-1R I and that IL-1R II inhibits IL-1 activity by acting as a decoy target for IL-1. The existence of multiple pathways of regulation emphasizes the need for tight control of IL-1 action.

Abstract
CD30 is a surface marker for neoplastic cells of Hodgkin's lymphoma and shows sequence homology to members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily. Using a chimeric probe consisting of the extracellular domain of CD30 fused to truncated immunoglobulin heavy chains, we expression cloned the cDNA cognate from the murine T cell clone 7B9. The encoded protein is a 239 amino acid type II membrane protein whose C-terminal domain shows significant homology to TNF alpha, TNF beta, and the CD40L. Cross-hybridization to an induced peripheral blood T cell cDNA library yielded the human homolog, which is 72% identical at the amino acid level. The recombinant human ligand enhances the proliferation of CD3-activated T cells yet induces differential responses, including cell death, in several CD30+ lymphoma-derived clones. The human and murine genes map to 9q33 and the proximal region of chromosome 4, respectively.

Abstract
CD27 is a surface antigen found on T and B cells that has homology to a family of molecules including the receptors for tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and nerve growth factor. A cDNA encoding a ligand for CD27 was isolated by a direct-expression cloning strategy using a fusion protein composed of the extracellular domain of CD27 linked to the constant domain of a human immunoglobulin G1 molecule as a probe. The predicted protein product is a type II transmembrane protein whose gene maps to 19p13 and that shows homology to TNF and the ligand for CD40. Biological characterization indicates that the cloned ligand induces the proliferation of costimulated T cells and enhances the generation of cytolytic T cells.

Abstract
Vaccinia virus gene B15R is shown to encode an abundant, secretory glycoprotein that functions as a soluble interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor. This IL-1 receptor has novel specificity since, in contrast with cellular counterparts, it binds only IL-1 beta and not IL-1 alpha or the natural competitor IL-1 receptor antagonist. The vaccinia IL-1 beta receptor is secreted when expressed in a baculovirus system and competitively inhibited binding of IL-1 beta to the natural receptor on T cells. Deletion of B15R from vaccinia virus accelerated the appearance of symptoms of illness and mortality in intranasally infected mice, suggesting that the blockade of IL-1 beta by vaccinia virus can diminish the systemic acute phase response to infection and modulate the severity of the disease. The IL-1 beta binding activity is present in other orthopoxviruses.

Abstract
Lapine synovial fibroblasts produce prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and neutral metalloproteinases in response to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), human recombinant interleukin-1 (hrIL-1) and, in an autocrine fashion, in response to partially purified preparations of their own cytokines known as cell-activating factors (CAF). Here we have examined the possible role of protein kinase C (PKC) in these responses. Whereas the 80-kDa substrate for PKC could not be detected in synovial fibroblasts, these cells contained a 35-kDa protein which fulfilled the criteria for qualifying as a specific substrate of PKC. Translocation assays based upon phosphorylation of the 35-kDa protein and Western blotting techniques allowed the movement of PKC from the cytosolic to the particulate fraction in response to PMA and CAF to be detected but not in response to 4 alpha-PMA or hrIL-1. Inhibitors of PKC suppressed synovial activation by PMA, partially blocked activation by CAF but had no effect on activation by hrIL-1. There thus appear to be PKC-dependent and PKC-independent routes to synovial cell activation. Our data suggest that IL-1 uses the latter, while CAF contains cytokines which utilize both routes.

Abstract
A high-affinity and specific binding site for mammalian group I phospholipase A2 (PLA2-I) was found on the membranes of bovine corpus luteum. Affinity labeling experiments revealed that PLA2-I binds to a single polypeptide with a mass of 190-200 kDa. The PLA2-I binding protein in the membranes was solubilized in an active form with n-octyl beta-D-thioglucoside, and then purified approx. 16,000-fold. The purification procedures consisted of diethylaminoethyl-Sephacel chromatography, PLA2-I-affinity gel chromatography and gel-filtration high-performance liquid chromatography on a TSKgel G3,000SWXL column. The final preparation migrated as a single molecular species of 190 kDa on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and identification of the 190 kDa protein as the PLA2-I binding protein was demonstrated by ligand blotting analysis. The purified protein possessed a binding capacity with high affinity and specificity for a mammalian mature type of PLA2-I. Treatment of the purified material with N-glycosidase F resulted in increased mobility of the protein on SDS-PAGE as well as considerable abolition of the PLA2-I binding activity, thus suggesting the requirement of the carbohydrate moiety of the PLA2-I binding protein for receptor-ligand interactions.

Abstract
The three-dimensional structure of recombinant murine interleukin-1 beta has been solved by X-ray crystallographic techniques to 2.8 A resolution and refined to a crystallographic R factor of 0.192. Although murine interleukin-1 beta crystallizes in the same space group as human interleukin-1 beta with almost identical unit cell dimensions, the packing of the molecules is quite different. The murine interleukin-1 beta structure was solved by molecular replacement using the refined structure of human interleukin-1 beta as trial structure, and found to be related to the human structure by a nearly perfect twofold rotation about the crystallographic y-axis and a 14 degrees rotation about the z-axis, with no translation. The folding of murine interleukin-1 beta is similar to that found for the human variant, consisting of 12 beta strands wrapped around a core of hydrophobic side chains in a tetrahedron-like fashion. Significant differences with respect to the human structure are seen at the N terminus and in 4 of the 11 loops connecting the 12 beta strands.

Abstract
Interleukin 1 (IL-1) is a multifunctional cytokine produced by numerous cell types, including cells of the central nervous system (CNS). In the CNS, IL-1 produced by glia is thought to support trophic functions after brain injury. However, little is known about whether the IL-1 receptor (IL-1R) is expressed in brain cells and how these receptors might be regulated. Analysis of IL-1R expression in the human glioblastoma cell line U-87 MG indicated the presence of a specific, saturable, and high-affinity (dissociation constant = 104 +/- 14 pM) binding site, which was of moderately high density (1,228 +/- 156 sites/cell). Incubation of U-87 MG cells with cortisol or dexamethasone for as little as 6 h resulted in an upregulation of IL-1R expression, which could be blocked by coincubation with cycloheximide or actinomycin D. IL-1 beta downregulated the expression of its own binding site. Upregulation of the IL-1R by glucocorticoids (GCs) appeared to be coupled to the release of interleukin 6 (IL-6), since IL-1 was significantly more potent in inducing IL-6 release in U-87 cells that were preincubated in the presence of GCs compared with cells incubated in the absence of GCs. These results suggest that IL-1 acts on glial cells via a high-affinity receptor and indicate that GCs may amplify or prolong the actions of IL-1 in the CNS.

Abstract
Anti-receptor antibodies have previously been used in two cytokine systems (IL-1 and TNF alpha) to identify the existence of different cytokine receptors on different cell types. In this study, we have similarly used two approaches to evaluate whether IL-4 receptors on different cell types are identical, or whether more than one species of IL-4 receptor exists. The first approach involved production of monoclonal antibodies specific for the IL-4 receptor expressed by the murine mast cell line, MC/9. Six anti-IL-4 receptor monoclonal antibodies were produced against the purified soluble extracellular domain of the recombinant IL-4 receptor derived from MC/9 cells. These antibodies were capable of binding to and specifically immunoprecipitating the soluble extracellular domain of the recombinant mast cell IL-4 receptor. Following biotinylation of the antibodies and addition of phycoerythrin-streptavidin, their binding to cell associated IL-4 receptors on MC/9 mast cells could be readily visualized by immunofluorescence. Using this approach, the anti-mast cell IL-4R antibodies were found to specifically bind IL-4 receptors expressed on a variety of other murine cell types, including T cells, B cells, macrophages, fibroblasts, and L cells. The antibodies did not bind to two human cell lines known to bind human but not murine IL-4. The intensity of staining was directly related to the number of IL-4 binding sites identified previously by receptor-ligand equilibrium binding analyses. As a second approach to evaluating potential receptor heterogeneity, we constructed S1 nuclease protection assay probes for two separate regions of the mast cell IL-4 receptor, one located in the extracellular domain and one in the intracellular domain. Subsequent S1 analyses showed that both regions are expressed by the following types of cells: T cells, B cells, macrophages, myeloid cells, L cells, and stromal cells. The two approaches used in this study therefore indicate that the same or highly similar IL-4 receptor species is expressed by a wide variety of hemopoietic and nonhemopoietic cells. Since the anti-IL-4 receptor antibodies produced in this study did not block binding of IL-4 to its receptor, we cannot exclude the possible existence of a second type of IL-4R coexpressed on the cells tested in this study, or expressed uniquely by other cell types that were not investigated.

Abstract
A transcriptionally active open reading frame (T2) from Shope Fibroma Virus was recently shown to have striking sequence homology with members of a new superfamily of cell surface proteins, including a receptor for human tumor necrosis factor. Here we report that recombinant T2 protein expressed in COS cells is a soluble, secreted glycoprotein which specifically binds human TNF alpha and beta, and inhibits binding of these cytokines to native TNF receptors on cells. T2 binding of TNF is not inhibited by nerve growth factor, although the nerve growth factor receptor is also a member of the same family, nor by nine other recombinant cytokines. Further, the repeating domain structure of T2 most closely resembles that of the type I TNF receptor (p75) and is significantly different from other family members, including the type II TNF receptor (p55). Since T2 possesses a leader sequence but lacks a transmembrane domain, these results confirm the original suggestion (1) that T2 represents a soluble form of the type I TNF receptor which is secreted from virally infected cells, and whose function is to immunosuppress the host by abrogating the potentially destructive effects of TNF. This is the first such virally-encoded soluble cytokine receptor to be identified, and may represent a more general mechanism by which viruses subvert the host immune system.

Abstract
Cellular binding of interleukin-1 (IL-1) was tested on monolayers of human thyrocytes in secondary culture, on long-term cultures of human thyrocytes, and on the rat thyroid cell line FRTL-5. The human thyrocytes in secondary culture showed specific binding of human 125I-rIL-1 alpha. Scatchard plots of data obtained at 4 degrees C indicated the presence of a single population of receptors with a Kd of 30 to 170 pM and 2,000 to 6,000 receptors per cell. Incubation at room temperature resulted in internalization of the receptor-ligand complex. Parallel experiments were performed with the IL-1 receptor-positive murine T-cell lines EL-4 and NOB-1. The IL-1 receptors on these cells had Kd values one fifth to one tenth those on human thyroid cells in secondary culture. Both rIL-1 alpha and rIL-1 beta inhibited 125I-rIL-1 alpha binding to human thyrocytes and the murine T cells. In contrast to the cells in secondary culture, there was no specific binding of 125I-rIL-1 alpha to long-term cultivated human thyroid cells or to the FRTL-5 cells. We concluded that recently described differences in the response to IL-1 of different thyroid cell culture systems are most likely caused by differences in expression of IL-1 receptors.

Abstract
An area encompassing residues 142-167 of the envelope protein of type D simian retrovirus (SRV-1) has been shown to contain the epitope to which neutralizing antibodies are directed. This area has been synthesized and shown to bind to monkey and mouse antiviral antibodies and to a virus neutralizing mouse monoclonal antibody. Protein conjugates of this peptide as well as the cross-linked or the free peptide induce antibodies capable of neutralizing, in vitro, viral infectivity. The cell receptor to the virus was isolated following extraction of Raji cells with non-ionic detergents. The receptor was isolated and characterized following radioimmuno-precipitation of 125I labeled cell extract bound to viral envelope protein. This immunoprecipitation could be inhibited by antiserum to peptide 142-167. Analysis in gels indicate that the receptor is of molecular weight of approximately 60 KDa. These results indicate that the neutralizing antibodies and the receptor recognize the same area on the viral envelope protein and that neutralization is the result of blocking the virus-receptor interaction by antibodies.

Abstract
Interleukin-I receptors were mapped and characterized in mouse brain by quantitative autoradiography using human recombinant [125I]interleukin-I alpha and [125I]interleukin-1 beta as ligands. Both ligands provide identical receptor mapping. In terms of specificity, interleukin-1 alpha and interleukin-1 beta were equally potent in binding competitions assays with either [125I]interleukin-1 alpha or [125I]interleukin-1 beta (EC50 11 pM). These receptors were shown to be highly concentrated in the dentate gyrus, in the choroid plexus at various levels of the brain, in the pituitary and in the meninges. They were also present at low concentrations in the cortex but undetectable in other brain structures. In the dentate gyrus, interleukin-1 receptors were localized on the granular and molecular layers (granule cells) when visualized on slides dipped in nuclear emulsion. Cellular localization of interleukin-1 receptors was assessed using selective lesion by colchicine. The complete loss of [125I]interleukin-1 binding in hippocampal areas where neurons were destroyed by colchicine demonstrates that interleukin-1 receptors are located on granule cells. Following lesion, sparse undestroyed cells, with glial cell morphology, also showed significant labelling. In conclusion, interleukin-1 receptors are located on the granule cells in the mouse dentate gyrus. These neurons may therefore be targets for neuromodulation by interleukin-1 and they may play a key role in the central effect of interleukin-1 as well as in the control of the immune response by the brain.

Abstract
In this study we have examined the effect of agents known to perturb certain signal transduction pathways on the biological responses of target cells to stimulation with interleukin-1 (IL-1). In the murine thymoma cell line EL4, IL-1 stimulation results in the secretion of interleukin-2 (IL-2), which was subsequently measured by proliferation of an IL-2-dependent cell line. Agents that elevated intracellular cAMP blocked or partially blocked IL-1 induction of IL-2 secretion, whereas agents that activated protein kinase C (PKC) resulted in a synergistic enhancement. Both pertussis and cholera toxins also inhibited IL-1-induced IL-2 secretion, although probably by acting at different levels. IL-1 simulation of human and murine fibroblasts resulted in release of prostaglandin E2. This response was inhibitable by pertussis toxin but not by cholera toxin, whereas co-stimulation of the fibroblasts with IL-1 and phorbol ester resulted in a synergistic response. Murine fibroblasts could also be stimulated to proliferate by IL-1, and this response was also inhibitable by pertussis toxin. These findings are consistent with coupling of the IL-1 receptor to a signalling pathway via a pertussis toxin substrate.

Abstract
The separation and purification of biologically functional molecules (e.g., proteins, antibodies, peptides, hormones, low molecular weight biologicals) is of fundamental importance to biotechnology. Affinity separations have become a particularly attractive method for bioseparations due to their high degree of selectivity. Numerous affinity ligands have been prepared in recent years including lectins, nucleic acids, inhibitors, and immunoresponse agents. Furthermore, a variety of novel supports have been synthesized to aid in the development of commercially useful affinity separation systems. Recent US patents and scientific literature on affinity separations and purifications are surveyed. Patent abstracts are summarized individually and a list of literature references are given.

Abstract
The proliferation and differentiation of hemopoietic committed progenitor cells depend on colony stimulating factors (CSF). However, isolated mouse granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells can still undergo limited proliferation in serum-free cultures after CSF deprivation. To test whether this is due to an accumulated pool of internalized factor, we examined the binding, internalization and degradation of radiolabelled interleukin 3 (IL-3) and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in various hemopoietic cells. We found 20,000 high affinity IL-3 receptors on cells of two IL-3-dependent hemopoietic cell lines, FDC-P1 and FDC-P2 (Kd = 85 and 129 pM). FDC-P1 cells, which also respond to GM-CSF, possess 600 high-affinity GM-CSF receptors (Kd = 64 pM). Cells of both lines internalize IL-3, but only FDC-P1 cells release degraded IL-3 at a rapid rate. Both cell lines have similar dose-response curves for IL-3 and survival kinetics after factor removal. All other cells tested behave like FDC-P1, suggesting that the metabolism of IL-3 by FDC-P2 is exceptional. Our study indicates that transient proliferation of committed progenitor cells in the absence of added factors is apparently not due to a stable pool of internalized CSF but merely represents an intrinsic capability of these cells.

Abstract
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a cytokine with multiple biologic activities. Since its first description in 1972, significant work has been done, leading to an understanding of the biology of IL-1, which plays a central role in many important functions of the immune system. The biologic activities of IL-1 make it an attractive factor for use in clinical oncology, both as an antitumor agent and for the hematologic recovery of cancer patients receiving other forms of therapy. In this review the biologic effects of IL-1 are summarized. The possible involvement of IL-1 in the pathogenesis of some diseases is reviewed. Future prospects for the use of IL-1 in the treatment of malignancies are discussed.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that binding of IL-1 to its receptor and intracellular processing of the IL-1/IL-1 receptor complex appear to be different in B- and T-cells. The current report summarizes recent studies from our laboratory that show that the murine and human IL-1 receptors present on T-cells and fibroblasts are identical in primary sequence within each species, and highly similar even when the two species are compared. At present no cDNA clones have been isolated for IL-1 receptors present on B-cells. However, a monoclonal antibody raised to the receptor on murine T-lineage cells did not bind to a pre-B-lymphoma cell line that displays IL-1 binding sites, nor would cDNA probes derived from a T-cell IL-1 receptor clone cross hybridize at high stringency to mRNA prepared from these cells. In addition the two receptors differ substantially in size, as determined by affinity crosslinking with radiolabeled IL-1 alpha. Taken together, these observations show that major structural differences exist between the IL-1 receptors on B and T lymphocytes, while the receptors on T-cells and fibroblasts are identical polypeptides. We propose that the T-cell/fibroblast receptor be called IL-1RI and the B-cell type IL-1RII.

Abstract
The biological effects of the two interleukin-1s on cells of connective tissue origin are mediated by specific cell-surface receptors. Molecular cloning studies have revealed that these receptors are identical in protein sequence to the IL-1 receptors on cells of the T-lymphocyte lineage. The functional interleukin-1 receptor on T-cells and fibroblasts is composed of a single polypeptide chain that binds both IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta. The single chain appears to be all that is required to transduce a signal to cells. While the nature of the signal is unknown, the structure of the receptor is inconsistent with its possessing any protein tyrosine kinase activity. It is therefore not surprising that the mitogenic activity of IL-1 for fibroblasts is mediated by IL-1 induction of PDGF-A gene transcription. Finally, IL-1 is known to modulate fibroblast-matrix interactions in several ways. It is interesting therefore, that the majority of the IL-1 receptors on cultured fibroblasts are clustered into focal adhesions.

Abstract
In vitro studies have shown that cytokines are involved in the regulation of the immune response, but their role in vivo is less well defined. Specific cytokine antagonists enable the identification of particular cytokines involved in the response and offer a means for modifying it. Systemic administration of a soluble, extracellular portion of the receptor for interleukin-1 (sIL-1R) had profound inhibitory effects on the development of in vivo alloreactivity. Survival of heterotopic heart allografts was prolonged from 12 days in controls to 17 days in mice treated with sIL-1R. Lymph node hyperplasia in response to a localized injection of allogeneic cells was completely blocked by sIL-1R treatment. The inhibition was overcome by simultaneous administration of interleukin-1 (IL-1); thus, sIL-1R acts by neutralizing IL-1. These results implicate IL-1 as a regulator of allograft rejection and demonstrate the in vivo biological efficacy of a soluble cytokine receptor.

Abstract
Considerable evidence indicates that interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a potent regulator of bone cell activity. Consequently, we studied its binding to neonatal mouse osteoblastlike cells. Purified, labeled recombinant IL-1 alpha bound specifically to neonatal mouse osteoblastlike cells with a dissociation constant of 30-200 pM at 22 degrees C. There were 3000-15,000 receptors per cell. IL-1 bound to cell surfaces at 4 degrees C was rapidly internalized when the temperature was raised to 37 degrees C. Receptor specificity was confirmed by demonstrating that, among a series of 11 polypeptides, only IL-1 inhibited 125I-IL-1 binding. Treatment of surface-bound 125I-IL-1 alpha with a bivalent water-soluble cross-linker identified a membrane peptide of Mr 70,000 cross-linked to IL-1. The apparent IL-1 receptor was solubilized from a plasma membrane-enriched fraction using 3-[(3-cholamidopropyldimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAP). The resulting material exhibited specific IL-1 binding. Preincubation of cells with IL-1, retinoic acid, transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), or phorbol ester caused a reduction in apparent receptor numbers per cell, while preincubation with epidermal growth factor (EGF), dexamethasone, or parathyroid hormone (PTH) increased receptor numbers per cell. Preincubation with insulin, vitamin D, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), and 17 beta-estradiol had no effect. These results suggest that specific, high-affinity IL-1 receptors are present on osteoblastlike cells and that the receptor number can be modified by various osteotropic agents. Regulation of bone cell IL-1 receptors may contribute to the control of bone remodeling.

Abstract
By using a biotinylated ligand and Western blotting techniques, a receptor (RFc alpha) and a binding factor (BF) for IgA were detected, respectively, on membrane and in the cell-free culture supernatant of rat peritoneal macrophages. Extraction of the RFc alpha was obtained by solubilization of macrophages with Nonidet P-40, and purification was performed by HPLC affinity chromatography on a column derivatized with IgA. RFc alpha is formed of two subunits, with molecular masses of 56 and 70 kDa, which are both involved in the IgA binding ability of rat peritoneal macrophages. IgABF was recovered from the cell-free supernatant of a short-term culture of rat macrophages and was affinity-purified in the same manner as RFc alpha. Like RFc alpha, IgABF retained its IgA binding activity in its native, as well as denatured form. Since the molecular masses of RFc alpha and IgABF are similar, and IgABF competes with RFc alpha for IgA binding, one can assume that IgABF probably represents a shed RFc alpha.

Abstract
The name 'interleukin' and the designation of interleukin 1 (IL-1) derived from the Second International Lymphokine Workshop held in Switzerland in 1979. Since then interest in the original interleukin (IL-1) has increased exponentially as measured by the numbers of publications and meetings. The main reasons for this can be seen in the accompanying centrefold. The perception of IL-1 as a biological mediator in every organ system has attracted scientists from widely different backgrounds into this area and a steady succession of important and often surprising insights into IL-1 biology has ensured that interest has been sustained at a high level. This overview of the biology of IL-1 on the tenth anniversary of its turbulent life has been compiled by Franco di Giovine and Gordon Duff. It is of necessity selective and biased towards human IL-1 and begins with some general points (mainly cautionary) as a backdrop to the centrefold.

Abstract
Receptor binding studies were performed on the interleukin-1 (IL-1) sensitive T-helper cell line D10S, a stable line which proliferates to subfemtomolar concentrations of IL-1 in the absence of mitogens. IL-1 binds in a specific and saturable manner and Scatchard analysis at 4 degrees C reveals one class of binding affinity. On D10S cells, the Kd for IL-1 is 227 pM +/- 80, with 11,000 (range 3,300 to 23,800) sites per cell. EL4.6.1 cells, which are less sensitive to IL-1, bind with a single class of high affinity sites (55 pM; 4,000 sites). D10S cells incubated 18 h with IL-1 display reduced IL-1 receptor (IL-1R) numbers and affinities, consistent with reduced (75%, p less than 0.005) proliferation to subsequent IL-1; preincubation with IL-4 increases the number of IL-1R which is associated with increased (200%, p less than 0.001) proliferation to IL-1. The molecular mass of the major (80 kD) IL-1R binding [125I]IL-1 alpha on D10S cells was consistently observed at 73 kD as compared to the 80 kD molecule on the EL4 cells. On the other hand, crosslinking studies with [125I]IL-1 beta on D10S cells revealed a novel 46 kD band on gradient SDS-PAGE corresponding to a binding protein of 29 to 30 kD, which is antigenically distinct from the 80 kD IL-1R. Crosslinking of D10S or EL4 cells at 4 degrees C in the presence of phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and labeled IL-1 enhanced the appearance of the 30 kD IL-1 binding protein. The findings are consistent with a two-chain model for the IL-1R, although Scatchard analysis did not consistently indicate two classes of affinities. IL-1 binding to the 80 kD protein may form a heteroduplex with the 30 kD IL-1R which could account for the presence of the 120 to 130 kD IL-1 crosslinked proteins observed by several investigators.

Abstract
Receptors for interleukin-4 (IL-4) are expressed at low levels on a wide variety of primary cells and cultured cell lines. Fluorescence-activated sorting of CTLL-2 cells resulted in the isolation of a subclone, CTLL 19.4, which expressed 10(6) IL-4 receptors per cell. These cells were used for the purification of IL-4 receptor protein and to prepare a hybrid-subtracted cDNA probe for isolation of cDNA clones. Three classes of IL-4 receptor cDNA were identified. The first encoded a 140 kd membrane bound IL-4 receptor containing extracellular, transmembrane, and cytoplasmic domains. The second class lacked the cytoplasmic region, and the third encoded a secreted form of the receptor. All cDNA clones expressed in COS-7 cells had IL-4 binding properties comparable to the native IL-4 receptor. The soluble form of the IL-4 receptor blocked the ability of IL-4 to induce CTLL cell proliferation and may represent a regulatory molecule specific for IL-4-dependent immune responses.

Abstract
The interleukin 1 (IL-1) receptor from mouse EL-4 thymoma cells was purified to homogeneity by a method which utilized ligand affinity chromatography and classical chromatographic techniques. After solubilization of the receptor from intact cells with the zwitterionic detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate, the IL-1 binding activity was purified greater than 23,000-fold. Analysis of the purified protein by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, immunoblot, and ligand blot demonstrated that a single protein of molecular mass of approximately 80 kDa is the IL-1 binding polypeptide. The purified protein bound IL-1 with a dissociation constant of approximately 1.1 X 10(-10) M, which is indistinguishable from the affinity of the cell-bound receptor. The amino acid composition of this protein is strikingly similar to the composition deduced from the sequence of a cDNA coding for an IL-1 receptor from EL-4 cells. Protein sequence analysis of Staphylococcus aureus V-8 protease-derived peptides yields data consistent with the sequence proposed from cloned cDNA. These studies have demonstrated that the high affinity IL-1 receptor on EL-4 cells is the 80-kDa protein.

Abstract
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) refers to a hormone-like polypeptide that mediates a broad spectrum of activities in host defence as well as a variety of disease processes. Originally described as a substance produced by activated macrophages, IL-1 is now recognized as a polypeptide produced by many other cell types. Two distinct genes have been identified that code for two structurally related forms of the molecule, termed IL-1 alpha and beta. IL-1 is the primary mediator of the acute phase response and is responsible for many of the changes associated with the onset of infection. It is involved in the immune response to antigenic challenge. IL-1 induces fever and has profound endocrinologic, neurologic, metabolic and hematologic effects. Both forms of IL-1 bind to a common receptor that has been identified on a variety of cell types including lymphocytes, hepatocytes, endothelial cells and fibroblasts. Many of the activities of IL-1 are mediated by the induction of other cytokines like IL-2, IL-6, interferons, tumor necrosis factor, and colony-stimulating factors. In animals IL-1 protects against the effects of radiation, it enhances natural resistance of infection, and it stimulates bone marrow recovery after myelosuppression. These studies suggest that IL-1 may be used as a therapeutic agent.
