Abstract:
:It has been shown that acute administration of interleukin-1 (IL-1) to rats elicits a transitory increase in plasma ACTH and corticosterone (B) levels. To investigate the effects of chronic administration of IL-1 on plasma ACTH and B levels, in the present study rats were equipped with Alzet osmotic minipumps loaded with either IL-1 (delivery rate 0.5, 2.0, or 4.0 micrograms/24 h, ip, for 1 week) or saline. At the end of the treatment the rats were decapitated, the adrenals were weighed, and the in vitro release of beta-endorphin (beta E) by the anterior pituitary and that of B by the adrenal gland were measured. Continuous administration of 2.0 and 4.0 micrograms IL-1/24 h resulted in a persistent increase in plasma ACTH and B concentrations compared to the levels in saline-infused rats, with peak levels on the first day of administration. In addition, adrenal weights of IL-1 rats were significantly higher than those of saline rats. The 4.0-micrograms IL-1/day in vivo treatment induced an increase in spontaneous in vitro secretion of beta E and B, while the in vitro responses of the pituitary (to CRF) and the adrenal (to ACTH) of animals treated in vivo with IL-1 were significantly diminished. IL-1 at a dose of 0.5 microgram failed to affect plasma ACTH and B values, adrenal weight, and in vitro beta E and B secretion. Chronic infusion of rats with 4.0 micrograms IL-1/day induced prolonged fever, whereas at lower doses of IL-1 (2.0 and 0.5 micrograms), temperatures were elevated only on the first 2 days of infusion. IL-1 at doses of 2.0 and 4.0 micrograms/day induced suppression of body weight gain on the first 2 days of the treatment period compared to saline treatment. Plasma norepinephrine and/or epinephrine concentrations were raised only on day 1 of the 2.0- and 4.0-micrograms IL-1 experiments. Thus, the observed effects of IL-1 on the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis probably do not result merely from stress induced by the treatment. Taken together, our data show the potential of IL-1 to induce a dose-dependent and long term activation of the pituitary-adrenal axis.
