We have previously reported that recombinant human interleukin-1 (IL-1) stimulates matrix erosion in bovine nasal cartilage explants (R. J. Smith et al., Inflammation 13, 367-382, 1989). This action of IL-1 is believed to be caused by matrix-degrading neutral proteinases produced by activated chrondrocytes. Accordingly, we investigated the effects of recombinant human interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha), recombinant human interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), and recombinant human tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) on bovine nasal chondrocyte (BNC) responsiveness. IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta stimulated a time (0-72 hr) and concentration-dependent (0.01-10 ng/ml) production of collagenase, gelatinase, caseinase, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in BNC monolayer cultures. Neutral proteinase and PGE2 production by BNC was also induced by TNF alpha (0.2-200 ng/ml) in a time-dependent (0-72 hr) manner. Recombinant human interleukin-6 (IL-6) caused a concentration-dependent (6-200 ng/ml) potentiation of IL-1-stimulated neutral proteinase and PGE2 production by BNC. However, recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor homodimer BB suppressed BNC responsiveness to IL-1. A recombinant human IL-1 receptor antagonist protein inhibited BNC activation by IL-1 but not TNF alpha.
