title: CD3-stimulated Jurkat T cells mediate IL-1 beta production in monocytic THP-1 cells. Role of LFA-1 molecule and participation of CD69 T cell antigen.
abstract: In this study we investigated the T cell signals required for monocyte activation. We used an in vitro co-culture system involving two human cell lines: Jurkat T cells and THP-1 monocytes. Monocyte activation was monitored by measuring IL-1 beta production, whereas IL-2 secretion reflected Jurkat activation. We showed that CD-3 -stimulated Jurkat cells delivered an IL-1-inductive signal to THP-1 cells through a cellular contact which was independent of THP-1 Fc receptors cross-linking. Stimulation of IL-1 beta production did not appear to require lymphokine secretion by T cell since a lymphokine defective mutant of Jurkat cell was able to deliver the stimulatory signal. The LFA-1 molecule was clearly shown to participate in the cooperation process, but its role was likely to be restricted to mediating initial adhesive interaction rather than to transducing the IL-1 -inductive signal. Interestingly, the co-culture stimulated by (Fab')2 fragments of CD3 mAb displayed an enhanced IL-1 beta production without any increase of IL-2 secretion. This result indicated that Jurkat cells could stimulate THP-1 cells even when they were only partially activated. The kinetics and conditions of IL-1 beta production called our attention to the early T cell activation antigen CD69. We then showed that CD69 mAb interfered with transmission of the IL-1 inductive signal (40-50% inhibition of IL-1 production). Our results are suggestive of a new role for CD69 molecule intervening in the T lymphocyte-dependent monocyte activation process.
