Analysis of the synergistic stimulation of mouse macrophage proliferation by macrophage colony-stimulating factor (CSF-1) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha).

Abstract：

:Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) more than doubles tritiated thymidine ([3H]TdR) uptake in mouse macrophages stimulated by macrophage colony-stimulating factor (CSF-1). However, nothing is known of how TNF-alpha affects this increase or even whether it is manifested by increased cellular proliferation. Here we characterize the effects of TNF-alpha on CSF-1-stimulated proliferation of both primary cells (bone marrow-derived macrophages, BMMs) and a cloned growth factor-dependent macrophage cell line (S1). We show that the TNF-alpha-induced increase in [3H]TdR uptake of CSF-1-stimulated macrophages is directly proportional to an increase in the DNA content of the culture and that the effects of TNF-alpha are direct and independent of cell number. TNF-alpha decreases the population doubling time of log-phase growing macrophages having quite different growth rates to the same (approximately 30%) extent: the doubling time of BMMs decreases from 24 to 17 h and that of S1 cells from 17 to 13 h. TNF-alpha exerts its effects on log-phase growth by increasing to the same proportion CSF-1-stimulated proliferation at all concentrations of CSF-1; that is, TNF-alpha does not shift, but rather amplifies, the CSF-1 dose-response curve. Although TNF-alpha alone does not stimulate macrophage proliferation, its presence in S1 cell cultures coming to quiescence after withdrawal of CSF-1 greatly increases subsequent CSF-1-stimulated [3H]TdR uptake as the cells reenter the cycle. Finally, we show that both human and mouse TNF-alpha increase CSF-1-stimulated log-phase growth and reentry of quiescent cells into the cycle equally on a molar basis (half-maximal stimulation of approximately 0.3 nM). The latter observation argues that the growth-stimulatory effects of TNF-alpha are mediated via the 55-60-kd TNF receptor. We conclude that TNF-alpha acts directly on growth-competent macrophages to decrease significantly the population doubling time in a manner that enhances the mitogenic effects of CSF-1.
