Chemokine production and adhesion molecule expression by neural cells exposed to IL-1, TNF alpha and interferon gamma.

We investigated the effect of TNF alpha, IL-1alpha and IFN gamma on two neuroblastoma (NB) cell lines (SK-N-SH and SK-N-MC). These lines responded differentially to IL-1alpha, TNF alpha and IFN gamma for MCP-1 and IL-8 production and expression of the ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 adhesion molecules. None of the cytokines induced MCP-1 or IL-8 on SK-N-MC cells. Both chemokines were produced in response to IL-1alpha by SK-N-SH cells, while TNF alpha induced mainly MCP-1 production. Addition of IFN gamma decreased IL-8, but not MCP-1 production. These responses correlated with monocyte and neutrophil chemotactic activity in NB culture supernatants. This activity was neutralized by antibodies to IL-8 and MCP-1. The expression of ICAM-1 on SK-N-MC was up-regulated by TNF alpha or IFN gamma, while IL-1alpha also upregulated ICAM-1 on SK-N-SH cells. VCAM-1 expression on SK-N-SH was induced by IL-1alpha and TNF alpha and IFN gamma synergized with TNF alpha in this respect on both NB cell lines. These results suggest that mechanisms for chemokine production and VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 upregulation by inflammatory cytokines differ and IFN gamma, in conjunction with TNF alpha, stimulate neural cell responses (high MCP-1 and VCAM-1 and decreased IL-8) favouring mononuclear cell recruitment.
