title: Properties of interleukin-1 as a complete secretagogue for human neutrophils.
abstract: Human monocyte-derived Interleukin-1 (IL-1) stimulated a concentration-dependent extracellular release of azurophil (myeloperoxidase) and specific (vitamin B12-binding protein) granule constituents from cytochalasin B-treated human neutrophils. The serine protease inhibitors, L-1-tosylamide-2-phenylethyl-chloromethyl ketone (TPCK) and N-alpha-p-tosyl-L-lysine-chloromethyl ketone (TPCK) as well as an inhibitor of thiol protease activity, p-hydroxymercuribenzoate (PHMB), suppressed granule enzyme release from neutrophils activated with IL-1. Cycloheximide, an inhibitor of protein synthesis, had no effect on IL-1-induced neutrophil degranulation. Neutrophils pretreated with IL-1 were rendered unresponsive to subsequent exposure to this stimulus. IL-1-elicited granule exocytosis appears to be stimulus specific in that N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP), 1-0-hexadecyl/octadecyl-2-0-acetyl-sn-glyceryl-3-phosphorycholine (AGEPC), and 5(S),12(R)-dihydroxy-6,14-cis-8,10-trans-eicosatetraenoic acid (LTB4) were capable of eliciting a secretory response from IL-1-pretreated cells.
