We have recently isolated an interleukin-1 (IL-1)-like factor from the rat testis, which originates from the seminiferous tubules and is a protein with an MW of 17,000 and a pI of 5-6. This paper reports on the appearance of the IL-1-like factor during postnatal development and investigates its cellular origin further. IL-1 activity was measured by a murine thymocyte proliferation assay. Very low IL-1 activity was present in culture medium conditioned by seminiferous tubules from rats aged 10 or 20 days. From 30 days of age, increasing amounts were detected, reaching a maximum level in adult animals (60-90 days). No IL-1 activity was found in medium conditioned by peritubular cells. Sertoli cell-enriched seminiferous tubules obtained from experimentally cryptorchid or from prenatally irradiated rats produced much higher levels of IL-1 activity than did those obtained from intact testes. IL-1 activity was detected in efferent duct fluid after ligation of the efferent ducts for 24 h, indicating that the IL-1-like factor was secreted into the tubular lumen. Low levels of IL-1 activity were detected in extracts of epididymal tissue and epididymal sperm, whereas ejaculated seminal plasma, seminal vesicle fluid and extracts of seminal vesicles (together with the coagulating glands) and ventral and dorsolateral prostate lacked IL-1 activity. Instead, seminal plasma inhibited testicular IL-1 activity dose-dependently without affecting cell viability in the thymocyte cultures. Although its biological function remains to be defined, our results indicate that the testicular IL-1-like factor is produced by Sertoli cells and that its appearance during development coincides with the initiation of active spermatogenesis in the rat testis.
