OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of T-lymphocyte products on human retinal pigment epithelial (HRPE) cell interleukin-8 (IL-8) and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) secretion and gene expression. METHODS HRPE cells were stimulated for 2, 4, 8, or 24 hours with 20% conditioned media (CM) from T-lymphocytes stimulated with CD3 or CD28 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) or phorbol myristic acid. In some experiments, CM from CD3 mAb-stimulated T-lymphocytes was preincubated with neutralizing anti-(alpha)-tumor necrosis factor (TNF), alpha-interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), or alpha-interleukin-1 (IL-1) mAb (control) to determine the contributions of each of these cytokines to HRPE chemokine induction by stimulated T-lymphocyte CM. HRPE cells were stimulated for 8 and 24 hours with IL-1 beta (0.2 to 20.0 ng/ml) (positive control), TNF-alpha (0.2 to 20.0 ng/ml) (positive control), IFN-gamma (1 to 1000 U/ml), IFN-gamma + IL-1 beta, IFN-gamma + TNF-alpha. Interleukin-2 (IL-2; 100 ng/ml) alone or in combination with IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha, or IFN-gamma also was tested. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Northern blot analyses were performed to determine secreted IL-8 and MCP-1 and their steady state mRNA expression, respectively. RESULTS ELISA showed significant increases in HRPE IL-8 and MCP-1 secretion by CM from T-lymphocytes stimulated with CD3 or CD3 + CD28 mAb. Smaller, but significant, increases in IL-8 and MCP-1 resulted from CM phorbol myristic acid-stimulated T-lymphocytes. CM preincubated with neutralizing alpha-TNF or alpha-IFN-gamma mAb induced significantly less HRPE IL-8 and MCP-1, whereas preincubation of CM with neutralizing alpha-IL-1 mAb failed to inhibit CM-induced IL-8 or MCP-1. Northern blot analysis showed increased HRPE IL-8 and MCP-1 mRNA expression within 2 hours of stimulation and was maintained up to 24 hours. CM from T-lymphocytes stimulated with CD3 mAb or CD3 + CD28 mAb produced the greatest increases in IL-8 and MCP-1 mRNA. IFN-gamma induced dose-dependent increases in HRPE MCP-1, but not IL-8, IFN-gamma potentiated IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha-induced MCP-1 production, but showed little modulation of IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha-induced IL-8 production. IL-2 did not induce HRPE IL-8 or MCP-1, nor did it modulate the effects of the other cytokines. Northern blot analysis confirmed the ELISA results. CONCLUSIONS T-lymphocyte secretions induce HRPE IL-8 and MCP-1 gene expression and secretion. TNF and IFN-gamma appear to be necessary components of T-lymphocyte CM for the induction of HRPE IL-8 and MCP-1. IFN-gamma alone induces HRPE MCP-1, albeit to a lesser extent than would IL-1 beta or TNF-alpha, and potentiates IL-1 beta- and TNF-alpha-induced HRPE MCP-1. IL-2 does not appear to modulate cytokine-induced HRPE IL-8 or MCP-1.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

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.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
