title: Differential priming for endotoxin-induced circulating cytokine production by tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin 1 beta.
abstract: In unprimed mice, a single injection of a non-lethal dose of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) produced a rise in tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin 6 (IL 6) activities. Peak serum concentrations were attained, respectively, 1.5 hr and 2.5 hr after the challenge. Pretreatment with recombinant human TNF-alpha (rHuTNF) had a priming effect for enhanced production of both serum cytokines without any change in kinetics. The enhancement was more pronounced in the TNF (15-fold) than in the IL 6 (4-fold) response. Recombinant murine TNF caused a comparable increase in LPS-induced cytokine release. In contrast, comparable pretreatment with another macrophage-derived cytokine, recombinant human interleukin 1 beta (HuIL1-beta), revealed a negative effect on LPS-induced TNF release whereas IL 6 in the blood reached levels similar to those found after priming with rTNF. Moreover, when administered in combination with rHuTNF, rHuIL1-beta inhibited the priming effect on TNF autocrine production.
