Follicular B cell lymphomas of SJL mice [reticulum cell sarcoma (RCS)] are dependent on syngeneic Ly‐1,2‐T cells for their growth. These T cells produce a number of lymphokines in response to stimulation with γ‐irradiated RCS cells including interleukin (IL) 2, interferon‐γ (IFN‐γ), IL 4 and IL 5, some of which may be required for growth of the tumor. Previous studies have shown that an RCS cell line, cRCS‐X, can be maintainedin vitroindefinitely, if the cultures are supplemented with Y‐irradiated lymph node (LN) cells or with a preparation of human B cell growth factor (BCGF). In the present studies, the growth requirements of this cell line were analyzed in more detail in short‐term assays of both [3H]thymidine incorporation and colony formation in agarose. Recombinant murine IL 5 caused dose‐dependent proliferation of cRCS‐X cells similar to that induced with BCGF. The level of colony formation by cRCS‐X cells induced by optimal concentrations of BCGF was not increased further by the addition of IL 5, suggesting that the two factors act via a common mechanism. IL 1 and IFN‐y each enhanced cRCS‐X proliferation induced by BCGF or IL 5 in both assays. The effects of IL 1 plus BCGF, IFN‐γ plus BCGF, and IL 1 plus IL 5 were clearly synergistic. Preincubation of cRCS‐X cells with IL 1 enhanced their ability to proliferate in response to BCGF or IL 5 in [3H]thymidine incorporation assays, but the reverse sequence of cytokine addition showed no effect of IL 1. No such effect was seen with IFN‐gM. Indeed, IL 1 and IFN‐gM appeared to affect BCGF‐induced cRCS‐X growth by different mechanisms and their combined effects were greater than that of IL 1 or IFN‐gM added separately. None of the other cytokines studied, including IL 2, IL 3, IL 4, IL 6, tumor necrosis factor‐γ, granulocyte monocyte‐colony‐stimulating factor or transforming growth factor‐β, had any detectable effect on cRCS‐X cells, either alone or in combination with BCGF or IL 5.Like IL 5, SJL γ‐irradiated LN cells induced cRCS‐X colony‐forming units (CPU) in a dose‐dependent manner. IL 1, or the combination of IL 1 plus IFN‐γ, clearly synergized with LN cells in the induction of cRCS‐X CFU, suggesting that LN cells contribute IL 5. The level of CFU induced by an optimal dose of BCGF was enhanced further in the presence of LN cells and IL 1. However, this was not observed when both IL 1 and IFN‐γ were added to the medium, in which case the level of CFU induced by an optimal dose of BCGF was not further enhanced by the addition of an optimal dose of γ‐irradiated LN cells. In combination with previous observations, these data support the hypothesis that RCS growthin vivoandin vitrois dependent on and promoted by IL 5 and IFN‐γ produced by syngeneic RCS‐specific helper T cells, and IL 1 produced by macrophages.
