The objective of this work was to investigate the role of leukotrienes in the production of IL-l by activated human peripheral blood monocytes and mouse peritoneal macrophages. Using overnight adherent macrophages, stimulation with lipopolysaccharide or zymosan caused a time-dependent increase in IL-l production. LTC4 was detected and preceded IL-l production only in zymosan-treated macrophages. Lipopolysaccharide did not stimulate macrophages to produce LTC4. Zymosan-stimulated LTC4 production was inhibited by the lipoxygenase inhibitors, ICI207968 (3.20uH), nordihydroguaiaretic acid (0.22uM), phenidone (4.60uM), REV5901 (O.ZOuH), and the Merck 5-lipoxygenase “translocation inhibitor” RK886 (0.02uM) with IC values as shown in parenthesis. However, none of these inhibitors re58 uced IL-1 production at concentrations which completely inhibited leukotriene synthesis. Taken together, these results do not support a role for leukotrienes in the production of IL-1 by zymosan-activated macrophages. 01990 Academic Press, Inc. IL-l

AND METHODS

Materials: RPM1 1640 medium and Ficoll-Hypaque were from Flow laboratories, Herts, U.K. L-glutamine, penicillin, streptomycin, Hepes, foetal calf serum, 96 U-well microtitre plates and 12 well flat bottom plates were from Gibco, Paisley, U.K. Polymyxin-B sulphate, zymosan A, lipopolysaccharide (E.coli Olll:B4), phytohaemagglutinin, human AB serum, phenidone (1-phenyl-3pyrazolidone) and NDGA were from Sigma, Poole, U.K. Dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) was from BDH, Poole, U.K. Revlon 5901 (2-[3’-(l”-hydrohyhexyl)-phenoxymethylquinone) (10) was obtained from Revlon ICI207968 (2-(3-pyridylmethyl)-indazolinone) (11) and the Health Care Group. Merck 5-lipoxygenase translocation inhibitor MK886 (formally code named L663536) (3-[1-(4-chlorobenzyl)-3-t-butyl-thio-5-isopropylindol-2-y1]-2,2dimethylprop-anoic acid) (12) were synthesi3ed in the chemistry laboralories at ICI Pharmaceuticals. Radiochemicals, [ HI-LTD4 (320Ci/mmol) and [ HI-PGE2 (184Ci/mmol) were from Amersham International, UK. ] A]-thymidine (6.7Ci/mmol) was from NEN (Du Pont), Southampton, UK. Preparation of mononuclear phagocytic cells: Resident peritoneal macrophages were obtained from Alderley Park strain mice by peritoneal lavage with RPM1 1640 culture medium containing 2g/l sodium bicarbonate, 2mM L-glutamine, lOOunits/ml penicillin, lOOug/ml streptomycin, lOpg/ml polymyxin-B sulphate and 10% heat-inactivated foetal calf serum (PCS). The peritoneal cells were washed twice in RPM1 1640 medium, and resuspended at 1x10 /ml in culture medium. One ml of the cell suspension was layered into each well of a 12 well flat bottomed plate and incubated for 2hr at 37’C in 5% C02/95% air, after which time the nonadherent cells were removed by washing 3 times with RPM1 1640 medium. Human monocytes: Heparinized peripheral blood was obtained from healthy Mononuclear cells gere isolated by centrifugation over ficollvolunteers. hypaque and resuspended at 2x10 /ml in culture medium containing 10% heat Five ml of this cell suspension was dispensed inactivated human AB serum. into each well of a 12 well flat bottomed plate and incubated for 2hr as above. Nonadherent cells were removed by washing 3 times with RPM1 1640 medium. In some instances, the adherent cells were further incubated for 18hr with lml of culture medium containing either 10% PCS or AB serum. Experimental Procedure: The medium was removed and replaced with 0.5ml of serum-free RPM1 1640 containing antibiotics and the appropriate concentration of inhibitors of arachidonic acid metabolism, which were dissolved in DMSO After lOmins, 0.5ml of medium containing either (final concentration 0.05%). E.coli LPS (lOug/ml) or Zymosan A (100 or 200ug/ml) was added to give the desired concentration of both inhibitors and stimuli. Control wells received 0.5ml of serum-free medium containing 0.1% DMSO. At subsequent times the cell centrifuged to remove any cell debris, and free supernatants were collected, assayed for LTC4 and IL-l.

Macrophage cultures (1~10~) were stimulated for 18hr with zygosan (leOug/ml) in the presence or absence of a range of concentrations (10 M - lo- H) of the test agents. Supernatants were collected and assayed for LTC PGE and IL-l. LTC4 and PGE2 were measured by specific radioimmunoassays. 16’ va 1 ues were determined from plots of the percent inhibition of LTC4 or PGEz’production versus test agent concentration at the point where 50% inhibition of the respective eicosanoiod was seen, and are means of duplicate values. The selectivity ratio was calculated by dividing IC50(PGE2) by IC O(LTC4). IL-1 was measured by the thymocyte proliferation assay. Supernatan i s from control macrophage cultures stimulated with zymosan, in the absence of inhibitor, typically gave 7254 + 463 cpm. Percent inhibition of IL-l production was calculated-by dividing the mean cpm in the presence of test agent by the mean control cpm x 100.
