Abstract

The present study demonstrates the synthesis and secretion of the neutrophil-activating peptide/interleukin-8 (IL-8) by cultured human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMC) and examines the regulation of its production by other cytokines. Unstimulated HPMC under growth-arrested conditions released IL-8 in a constitutive and time-dependent manner. Stimulation of HPMC with IL-1 beta or TNF-alpha resulted in a time- and dose-dependent IL-8 generation; after 24 hours the levels induced by IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha (both at 1000 pg/ml) were (mean +/- SEM, n = 5) 101 +/- 26.6 (z = 2.023; P < 0.01) and 35 +/- 8.09 (z = 2.023; P < 0.01) respectively. This release was inhibited following coincubation with the relevant anti-cytokine antibody or preincubation with either cycloheximide or actinomycin D. Treatment of HPMC with IL-1 beta or TNF-alpha resulted in increased levels of IL-8-specific mRNA. Stimulation of HPMC with combinations of IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha resulted in a synergistic increase in IL-8 release. This effect was significant at combined doses of IL-1 beta (50 pg/ml) and TNF-alpha (500 pg/ml) and above, when the release of IL-8 was 88 +/- 27% above the additive IL-8 release values (z = 2.201; P < 0.01). Western blot analysis using specific anti-IL-8 antibody demonstrated the presence of two major immunoreactive bands between 9 and 10 kd, in HPMC culture supernatants. These data demonstrate that HPMC synthesize IL-8 and that its release can be regulated as a result of induction of mRNA expression and de novo protein synthesis by other cytokines.
