Abstract:
Medium conditioned by silica-stimulated human peripheral blood monocytes express vascular suppressive activity. Rat aortic rings, after incubation in conditioned medium, exhibited comprised contraction to stimulation by norepinephrine NE. Maximal contraction 300 or - 51 mg tensionmg tissue and sensitivity -5.91 or - O.23 M log EC50 were both reduced in comparison to contraction and sensitivity displayed by rings after incubation in control medium. A polyvalent antibody Ab against human interleukin 1 Il-1 neutralized the suppressive activity in conditioned medium. Rings incubated in conditioned medium containing Ab exhibited normal maximal contraction and a partial restoration of sensitivity to NE. In contrast incubation of rings in control medium supplemented with recombinant human Il-1 resulted in a dose- dependent suppression of aortic contraction to NE that was analogous to the defects induced by monocyte-conditioned medium. No significant differences in NE-stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis were present between rings incubated in Ab-treated or untreated conditioned or control media. The data suggest that monocyte-derived Il-1 may have a significant influence on vascular contractile function and that the mechanism by which Il-1 induces vascular dysfunction cannot be demonstrated to involve inhibition of NE-stimulated phosphoinositide metabolism.
