We have reported modulation, by cytokines interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and by hormonal cyclic-adenosine-monophosphate (cAMP) agonists, of hematopoietic growth factor production in the murine marrow adherent cell line +/+(-)1.LDA11. Previously, we reported that increased intracellular cAMP levels inhibited bioactive granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulatory factor (GM-CSF) production stimulated by IL-1 or by the synergistic stimulus of IL-1 plus TNF-alpha. On the other hand, increased intracellular cAMP stimulated IL-6 synthesis in +/+(-)1.LDA11 cells. In addition, cAMP was additive with either IL-1 or IL-1 plus TNF-alpha in inducing production of soluble IL-6. In the present study, these observations were pursued mechanistically at the level of messenger RNA (mRNA) production. Northern blot analysis of steady-state mRNA for GM-CSF revealed induction by treatment of +/+(-)1.LDA11 cells with IL-1 or with TNF-alpha. The combined stimulation by IL-1 plus TNF-alpha resulted in supra-additive increases in GM-CSF expression by +/+(-)1.LDA11. Addition to stromal cells of the soluble cAMP agonist 8-bromo-cAMP (8BrcAMP) at 0.5 to 1 mM stimulated IL-6 mRNA expression acting alone, and it was additive with IL-1 or IL-1 plus TNF-alpha in stimulating IL-6 expression. On the other hand, 8BrcAMP inhibited GM-CSF mRNA expression stimulated by IL-1 or IL-1 plus TNF-alpha. Inhibition of GM-CSF mRNA by 8BrcAMP was time-dependent, starting 120 to 180 minutes posttreatment. In addition, inhibition of GM-CSF transcript expression in +/+(-)1.LDA11 by 8BrcAMP required the expression of a labile protein. Nuclear run-on assays revealed that GM-CSF and IL-6 genes were transcriptionally induced in +/+(-)1.LDA11 by incubation with IL-1 plus TNF-alpha. IL-6 transcription was further enhanced by 8BrcAMP co-incubation. More sensitive experiments using a luciferase reporter vector containing the GM-CSF promoter region were necessary to convincingly establish the role of TNF-alpha and 8BrcAMP on transcriptional induction of the GM-CSF gene in +/+(-)1.LDA11 stromal cells. Considering these results and an effect of 8BrcAMP on decreasing GM-CSF transcript stability in actinomycin-D (act-D) decay experiments, we conclude that the inhibitory effect of 8BrcAMP on GM-CSF expression is exerted at the posttranscriptional level. These data demonstrate that the intracellular level of cAMP has an important discriminatory role on expression of the cytokines GM-CSF and IL-6 in a model stromal cell line.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
