Tumor necrosis factor-alpha production by astrocytes. Induction by lipopolysaccharide, IFN-gamma, and IL-1 beta.
Abstract
Astrocytes have the capacity to secrete or respond to a variety of cytokines including IL-1, IL-6, IL-3, and TNF-alpha. In this study, we have examined the capacity of astrocytes to secrete TNF-alpha in response to a variety of biologic stimuli, particularly cytokines such as IL-1 and IFN-gamma, which are known to be present in the central nervous system during neurologic diseases associated with inflammation. Rat astrocytes do not constitutively produce TNF-alpha, but have the ability to secrete TNF-alpha in response to LPS, and can be primed by IFN-gamma to respond to a suboptimal dose of LPS. IFN-gamma and IL-1 beta alone do not induce TNF-alpha production, however, the combined treatment of IFN-gamma and IL-1 beta results in a striking synergistic effect on astrocyte TNF-alpha production. Astrocyte TNF-alpha protein production induced by a combined treatment of either IFN-gamma/LPS or IFN-gamma/IL-1 beta occurs in a dose- and time-dependent manner, and appears to require a "priming signal" initiated by IFN-gamma, which then renders the astrocyte responsive to either a suboptimal dose of LPS or IL-1 beta. Astrocyte TNF-alpha production by IFN-gamma/LPS stimulation can be inhibited by the addition of anti-rat IFN-gamma antibody, whereas IFN-gamma/IL-1-induced TNF-alpha production is inhibited by antibody to either IFN-gamma or IL-1 beta. Polyclonal antisera reactive with mouse macrophage-derived TNF-alpha neutralized the cytotoxicity of IFN-gamma/LPS and IFN-gamma/IL-1 beta-induced astrocyte TNF-alpha, demonstrating similarities between these two sources of TNF-alpha. We propose that astrocyte-produced TNF-alpha may have a pivotal role in augmenting intracerebral immune responses and inflammatory demyelination due to its diverse functional effects on glial cells such as oligodendrocytes and astrocytes themselves.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
