The present study was designed to investigate the capacity of human mononuclear phagocytes to produce a cytokine chemotactic for monocytes (monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP), alternative acronyms JE, monocyte chemotactic and activating factor, MCP-1, and tumor-derived chemotactic factor). Human PBMC exposed in vitro to bacterial LPS expressed high levels of MCP transcripts. Monocyte-depleted lymphoid cells were not induced to express MCP by LPS. Percoll-gradient purified monocytes were able to express high levels of MCP transcripts. In an effort to exclude a role of contaminating non-monocytic cells, mononuclear phagocytes were separated by flow cytometry and sorting: CD14+ cells exposed to LPS showed high levels of MCP mRNA. LPS-stimulated monocytes released chemotactic activity for monocytes that could be inhibited by absorption with anti-MCP antibodies. IL-1, TNF, IFN-gamma, granulocyte-macrophage-CSF and, to a lesser extent, macrophage-CSF, as well as inactivated streptococci, also induced MCP gene expression. Actinomycin D experiments indicated that induction of MCP in monocytes was gene transcription-dependent. The protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (Cy) blocked IL-1-, TNF-, or LPS-induced MCP gene expression in monocytes. In contrast, expression of the structurally related chemotactic cytokine IL-8 was superinduced by Cy. Moreover, Cy superinduced MCP gene expression in cells other than monocytes, including endothelial cells, smooth muscle cell and fibrosarcoma cells, indicating different mechanisms of regulation in mononuclear phagocytes vs cells of other lineages. The capacity of cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage to produce a cytokine that recruits and activates circulating monocytes may be of considerable importance in inflammatory and immunologic reactions. Thus, the mononuclear phagocyte system can autonomously regulate the extravasation and activation of immature elements of the same lineage, a key event in inflammation and immunity.

D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
