RESUMO

Coordinate production of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) or IL-6 by the blast cells of acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) and normal peripheral blood leukocytes have been previously reported (van der Shoot et al.: Blood 74:2081-2087, 1989; Bradbury et al.: Leukemia 4:44-47 1990a, British Journal of Haematology 16:(in press), 1990b; Rodriguez-Cimadevilla et al.: Blood 76:1481-1489, 1990; Schindler et al.: Blood 75:40-47, 1990). In the present study, we show that IL-6 production by AML blasts is up-regulated by endogenously produced IL-1 beta. Neutralization of the endogenous source of IL-1 results in a significant decrease in IL-6 production, as determined by ELISA. Conversely, exposure of AML blasts to IL-1 alpha results in a significant increase in IL-6 production in 10 of 16 patient samples. Antibodies against IL-1 alpha and -beta also cause a drastic decrease in IL-6 and GM-CSF gene expression by the cells, suggesting that cytokine gene expression in AML blasts is driven, at least in part, by endogenous IL-1. The biologic significance of IL-6 production in culture of AML blasts has been addressed using a neutralizing antibody against IL-6. Our data indicate that IL-6 is important for the survival of clonogenic blasts in culture. In contrast, the survival of the total population of blasts is IL-6-independent, as assessed by the integrity of cellular DNA, even in the presence of anti-IL-6. These observations are consistent with the view that AML blasts might be organized as a lineage, with comparable hierarchy as in normal hemopoiesis and, perhaps, increased heterogeneity despite a homogenous appearance (McCulloch and Till: Blood Cells 7:63-77, 1981; Buick and McCulloch: Control of Animal Cell Proliferation. Academic Press, New York, vol. 1, pp. 25-57, 1985). Buick and McCulloch have identified a subpopulation of AML clonogenic cells with stem-cell-like properties, and suggested that the majority of blasts may have undergone a determination-like step. Our data indicate a marked difference in IL-6 requirement for cell survival between precursors and the majority of blasts, suggesting that IL-6 responsiveness may decrease following a determination-like event, i.e., the reduction in proliferative capacity.

RESUMO

Acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) blasts have been shown to produce a variety of cytokines in culture such as interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6, granulocyte-, macrophage-, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha). Using two sensitive and specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for IL-1 beta and GM-CSF, we document in the present study that the production of the two cytokines by AML blasts in culture is coordinated. First, we observe a striking correlation between the levels of GM-CSF and IL-1 beta released by the cells. Thus, a high production of IL-1 beta is always concordant with a high production of GM-CSF and, conversely, low production of IL-1 beta is concordant with low levels of GM-CSF. Second, neutralization of intrinsic IL-1 using antibodies that are specific for IL-1 alpha and -1 beta suppresses the release of GM-CSF by the cells. Third, neutralization of the endogenous source of IL-1 also results in an abrogation of GM-CSF mRNA. Fourth, the production of both IL-1 beta and GM-CSF is up-regulated by exposing AML blasts to an exogenous source of IL-1, suggesting a positive regulation of autocrine growth factor production. Taken together, our results indicate that GM-CSF production by AML blasts is mediated by endogenously produced IL-1. Both IL-1 beta and -1 alpha are produced by AML blasts, although IL-1 beta appears to be more abundant. Spontaneous colony formation by AML blasts is abrogated by the addition of neutralizing antibodies against IL-1 beta and GM-CSF, whereas each antibody alone has little effect on blast proliferation. Taken together, our results are consistent with the view that the production of IL-1 beta by AML blasts supports autocrine growth in culture, through induction of CSFs or other cytokines that stimulate blast proliferation.

RESUMO

TNF-alpha has been shown to antagonize the proliferative effects of growth factors present in crude conditioned media from PHA-stimulated leukocytes or cell lines on the clonogenic cells of acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) (19,21). In the present study, we investigated the responses of AML blasts to TNF-alpha in the presence of defined growth factors (recombinant granulocyte/macrophage-CSF [rGM-CSF], recombinant granulocyte-CSF [rG-CSF], rIL-3, and rIL-1) and under conditions described for autocrine stimulation (32). While TNF-alpha antagonized the stimulatory effects of G-CSF and IL-3 on blast progenitors, TNF-alpha did not affect blast colony formation in the presence of IL-1. Unexpectedly, TNF-alpha significantly enhanced blast proliferation in the presence of GM-CSF. Further, TNF-alpha also acted synergistically with an endogenous source of growth stimulatory signal to promote proliferation of blast clonogenic cells. Thus, on human leukemic cells, TNF-alpha appears to be a molecule that is at least bifunctional, having the ability to either support or inhibit cell proliferation, depending on the other growth factors present. It is postulated that the proliferative response of blast progenitors to TNF-alpha under conditions that favor autocrine stimulation may represent one property that allows the cells to escape from negative regulation and proliferate in AML.
