title: Evidence for interleukin-1 beta production by cultured normal human osteoblast-like cells.
abstract: To determine if bone cells produce interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), a potent bone resorption-stimulating agent, we studied well-characterized, nearly homogeneous cultures of normal human osteoblast-like (hOB) cells. With four strains of such cells, vehicle-treated cultures produced minimal IL-1 beta (mean +/- SEM, 1.3 +/- 0.3 pg/ml per 10(6) cells per 24 h) and showed dose-dependent (r = 0.99) increases to 2.2 +/- 0.7, 5.0 +/- 0.9, or 17.8 +/- 6.7 pg/ml, respectively, after treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at 3, 10, or 30 micrograms/ml (for increases after 10 and 30 micrograms/ml treatments, P less than 0.05). After treatment with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) at 10 U/ml, IL-1 beta increased to 16.2 +/- 3.7 pg/ml (P less than 0.05). Neither 17 beta-estradiol nor bovine parathyroid hormone(1-34) (each at 10 nM), alone or in combination with LPS or TNF-alpha, affected IL-1 beta release. Northern blot analysis of total cellular RNA preparation revealed a single hybridization band at 1.9 kb when probed with a partially deleted cDNA for human IL-1 beta. The steady-state IL-1 beta mRNA levels showed a significant increase with LPS treatment and a lesser increase with TNF-alpha treatment in hOB cells. Moreover, TNF-alpha produced an even greater increase in IL-1 mRNA in HOBIT cells, a well-differentiated clonal cell line derived from normal hOB cells transfected with the SV40 large T antigen. We conclude that human cells of the osteoblast lineage produce IL-1 beta in response to well-recognized stimuli for IL-1 release from responsive tissue.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
