The requirement for macrophages in mitogen-induced production of murine T cell interleukin 2 (IL-2; formerly referred to as T cell growth factor) can be circumvented by using the macrophage-derived peptide interleukin 1 (IL-1; formerly referred to as lymphocyte-activating factor). Using 2 cloned [mouse] T cell lymphomas, the mechanism through which IL-1 exerted its effect on IL-2 production was investigated. One cell line used (LBRM-33 5A4) produces large concentrations of IL-2 upon mitogen stimulation; the 2nd (LBRM-33 1A5) is incapable of producing IL-2 in response to mitogen. Addition of purified IL-1 to nonproducer 1A5 cells converted them to a state in which subsequent mitogen stimulation triggered production of IL-2. The concentration of IL-2 produced by IL-1-treated 1A5 cells was equivalent in magnitude to that generated by mitogen-stimulated 5A4 cells (500-1000 U/ml, or approximately 1000 times the concentration of IL-2 contained in conventional preparations of murine mitogen-conditioned medium). The observations that brief exposure to IL-1 was sufficient for 1A5 cell conversion to IL-2 production and that IL-1 could actively be absorbed from culture medium by live or fixed 1A5 cells led to the proposal of the existence of IL-1 receptors on responsive 1A5 cells. IL-1 probably mediates its effect on immune reactivity (enhancement of thymocyte mitogenesis and induction of antibody and cytotoxic T cell responses) by maturation of a subset of immature T cells to the point in which they are capable of IL-2 production. Subsequent release of IL-2 after ligand activation allows for clonal expansion of activated T cells which mediate particular effector functions.
