OPPOSITE EFFECT OF INTERFERON-y ON PGE 2 RELEASE FROM INTERLEUKIN-I-STIMULATED HUMAN MONOCYTES OR FIBROBLASTS

S t i m u l a t e d monocytes produce p r o s t a g l a n d i n s (PGE2) in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), Muramyl d i p e p t i d e (MDP) or Interleukin-i (IL-I). This response could be m o d u l a t e d in different ways by Interferon-y (IFN-y) . This lymphokine, known to p o t e n t i a t e IL-I p r o d u c t i o n by LPSor M D P - s t i m u l a t e d monocytes, suppressed different Ii-i activities such as PGE 2 release by the same cells. By contrast, an impairement of s u p p r e s s i o n by IFN-y was e v i d e n c e d in r I L - i B - i n d u c e d PGE 2 release from human dermal fibroblasts. Salmon calcitonin (sCT) , another inhibitor of I L - l - i n d u c e d bone resorption, was able to prime monocytes to potentiate.

METHODS
Reagents: R e c o m b i n a n t human I n t e r l e u k i n - I B (i pg to i00 n g / m l ) ( 1 0 7 U / m g of protein) and recombinant human Interferon-7 (i to 1,000 U/ml) (2x107 antiviral units/mg protein) were provided by Roussel-Uclaf. Endotoxin testing was p e r f o r m e d using the Limulus A m e b o c y t e Lysate (LAL) test. All the batches contained <20pg/10ug of the recombinant protein. At lug/ml p r e p a r a t i o n did not inhibit the LAL assay in the presence of known concentration of endotoxin. LPS from Salmonella enteritidis (phenol-water extraction) was obtained from Difco lab. (Detroit, MI), MDP was purchased from Sigma (St Louis, MO) and salmon calcitonin (sCT) was from C a l b i o c h e m (San Diego, CA). All media, buffers, preparations and products used in the experiments were pyrogen-free. Preparation of supernatant fluids from human monocytes: Human peripheral blood m o n o n u c l e a r cells from normal donors (H6pital Avicennes, Bobigny) were enriched in monocytes by lh-plastic adherence (>90% nonspecific esterase positive cells (NSE+)). Cells were then cultured at 5 x 106 NSE+cells/ml for 24 to 48 hours at 37°C in a 5% CO 2 incubator in complete 1198
