Popis: Interleukin-1 (IL-1) has profound stimulatory effects on hematopoiesis but the mechanism(s) of action remain unknown. The direct action of IL- 1 on hematopoietic progenitor cells requires the presence of a specific IL-1 receptor (IL-1R). In this report, we tested the effect of in vivo IL-1 treatment on the expression of IL-1R on bone marrow (BM) cells. Injection of mice with IL-1 results in a marked upregulation of IL-1R on light-density BM cells as on a subpopulation enriched for myeloid precursors. Pretreatment of mice with anti-type I IL-1R antibody (35F5), which has been shown to prevent the radioprotective effect of IL-1, also blocked IL-1-induced IL-1R expression on BM cells. This antibody did not directly bind and block IL-1 binding to the type II IL- 1R expressed on hematopoietic cells, suggesting that IL-1R upregulation by IL-1 is indirect. It is therefore possible that IL-1 acts on type I IL-1R-expressing accessory cells such as stromal cells or T cells to induce production of hematopoietic growth factors (HGFs). In support of this, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor administration can induce the increase of IL-1R on BM cells. Thus, the increased expression of IL- 1R on hematopoietic BM cells by IL-1 is indirect, probably mediated in part through endogenous HGF production. These results also suggest that the restorative hematopoietic effect of IL-1 occurs through both indirect and direct mechanisms.
