Using a functioning rat thyroid cell line (FRTL-5), we examined the effects of some cytokines, particularly interleukin-1 (IL-1) on the growth of thyroid cells. In 5H medium, namely Coon's modified Ham's F-12 medium supplemented with 5% calf serum and a five-hormone preparation consisting of insulin, hydrocortisone, transferrin, glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine acetate and somatostatin, IL-1 enhanced the growth of FRTL-5 cells detected by [3H]TdR incorporation. However, in 6H medium (5H medium plus bovine TSH), IL-1 inhibited the growth of FRTL-5 cells. Both effects were neutralized by the addition of anti-IL-1 antibody. Furthermore, IL-1 inhibited the growth of FRTL-5 cells induced by forskolin which is known as an adenylate cyclase activator. FRTL-5 cells have specific IL-1 receptors detected by the binding of 125I-labeled IL-1 alpha. By Scatchard plot analysis, the numbers and the dissociation constants of IL-1 receptors on FRTL-5 cells were shown to be 5225/cell and 8.69 x 10(-10) M. Interleukin-2, interleukin-6 and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) had no significant effects on the cell growth in 6H medium, while IFN-gamma and insulin-like growth factor I stimulated cell growth somewhat in 5H medium. These results suggest that IL-1 plays a regulatory role in the growth of thyroid cells through binding to the IL-1 receptors.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007371 Interferon-gamma The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES. Interferon Type II,Interferon, Immune,gamma-Interferon,Interferon, gamma,Type II Interferon,Immune Interferon,Interferon, Type II
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.
