Systemic vasculitis is an inflammatory disorder of blood vessels characterized by a perivascular mononuclear cell infiltration around the vessel and fibrinoid necrosis within vessel walls. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a multipotent inflammatory mediator and affects several properties of vascular cells. To determine whether IL-1 could contribute to the pathogenesis of vascular diseases, we examined the effect of IL-1 on B cell stimulatory factor-2/interleukin-6 (IL-6) production by cultured human vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) and the proliferation of these cells. Supernatants of SMC stimulated IgM synthesis of human B cell line. SKW6-CL4 cells. This activity was increased (1.7 to 2.6-fold) when SMC were pretreated with IL-1 or calcium ionophore A23187 for 48 h, and was completely blocked by rabbit anti-human IL-6 antibodies. These IL-6 activities of the SMC supernatants were also assessed by using an IL-6 dependent murine hybridoma cell line. MH-60. BSF-2. In addition, we observed that pretreatment of SMC with IL-1 for 48 h stimulated growth of SMC during the 96 h incubations, as assessed by cell number (p less than 0.05). These results suggest that IL-1 may contribute to the pathogenesis of inflammatory and immunological vasculitis by the augmentation of IL-6 release and growth of SMC.

D007075 Immunoglobulin M A class of immunoglobulin bearing mu chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN MU-CHAINS). IgM can fix COMPLEMENT. The name comes from its high molecular weight and originally was called a macroglobulin. Gamma Globulin, 19S,IgM,IgM Antibody,IgM1,IgM2,19S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgM
D007375 Interleukin-1 A soluble factor produced by MONOCYTES; MACROPHAGES, and other cells which activates T-lymphocytes and potentiates their response to mitogens or antigens. Interleukin-1 is a general term refers to either of the two distinct proteins, INTERLEUKIN-1ALPHA and INTERLEUKIN-1BETA. The biological effects of IL-1 include the ability to replace macrophage requirements for T-cell activation.
