PG - 101-7 AB - Infiltration of the central nervous system (CNS) by monocytes is a characteristic of many non-malignant disease processes, although the signals regulating such traffic are unclear. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and other inflammatory cytokines have been shown to elicit production of monocyte chemoattractant activity in glioma cells, but the regulation of such activity in non-neoplastic adult astrocytes has not been examined. We previously observed that TNF constituted a proliferative signal for non-neoplastic adult human astrocytes in vitro involving the 55-kDa TNF receptor. In the present study, we demonstrate that TNF exposure enhances the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) mRNA and functional monocyte chemoattractant activity in non-neoplastic astrocytes. Results indicated that MCP-1 mRNA expression was maximal within 3 h, and was further augmented by the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (CY). Antibody (htr-9) directed against the 55-kDa TNF receptor also elicited MCP-1 mRNA expression while antibody to the 75-kDa TNF receptor (utr-1) was ineffective. Secretion of monocyte chemoattractant activity was significantly greater in TNF- or htr-9-treated astrocytes than in utr-1-treated or untreated controls; activity was abolished by treatment with antibody to MCP-1. These findings suggest that non-neoplastic adult human astrocytes may contribute to CNS inflammatory responses by mediating recruitment of peripheral blood monocytes.
