PG - L223-30 LID - 10.1152/ajplung.1998.275.2.L223 [doi] AB - We determined whether human lung fibroblasts (HLFs) might release mediators that are responsible for monocyte chemokinetic activity (MCA) constitutively. HLF supernatant fluids showed MCA in a time-dependent manner (P < 0.001). Checkerboard analysis of 24- and 72-h supernatant fluids showed that the activity was chemokinetic. Partial characterization of 24- and 72-h supernatant fluids revealed that the mediators released after 24 h were predominantly composed of lipid-soluble activity, and MCA was blocked by lipoxygenase inhibitors. The mediators released after 72 h were predominantly trypsin sensitive and blocked by cycloheximide. Molecular-sieve column chromatography identified four peaks of MCA. A polyclonal antibody to monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) inhibited MCA by 20% after 24 h and by 40% after 72 h. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) antibodies attenuated MCA released after 72 h by 30 and 10%, respectively. These antibodies inhibited corresponding molecular-weight peaks separated by molecular-sieve column. The concentrations of MCP-1, GM-CSF, and TGF-beta were 4,698 +/- 242, 26.8 +/- 3.8, and 550 +/- 15 pg/ml, respectively. A leukotriene B4 (LTB4)-receptor antagonist attenuated the total MCA and the lowest molecular weight peak of MCA. The concentrations of LTB4 were 153.4 +/- 12.4 (24 h) and 212 +/- 16.6 (72 h) pg/ml. These findings suggest that HLFs may modulate the recruitment of monocytes into the lung by releasing MCP-1, GM-CSF, TGF-beta, and LTB4 constitutively.
