The relationship between the production and release of lymphocyte-activating factor (LAF, or interleukin 1) by cultured murine peritoneal macrophages (M.vphi.) was investigated. Unstimulated M.vphi. produce high levels of intracellular LAF within a few hours after culturing, but release little of this activity into their culture medium. Addition of various agents significantly increased the production and release of LAF, with 3 different patterns: both intracellular and extracellular LAF activities were increased in response to latex beads; a marked increase of intracellular LAF, with just a minimal elevation of extracellular activity, was stimulated by LPS; and sharp increases in LAF release, with small increments of the intracellular activity, were induced by silica and glucocerebroside (GL1). Silica and GL1 damaged the cultured M.vphi., as indicated by the increased release of lactate dehydrogenase. Silica and GL1 increased both intracellular and extracellular LAF levels, suggesting that damage of M.vphi. may stimulate total LAF production. A combination of LPS with silica or GL1 acted synergistically on M.vphi. to release very high levels of LAF, which far exceeded those released by the individual agents. The agents were also tested on M.vphi. which were precultured, to deplete their LAF content. Latex, LPS or silica increased LAF production and release by precultured M.vphi., but the levels were lower than those obtained with freshly cultured M.vphi.. The level of LAF release does not necessarily reflect the level of total LAF production by cultured M.vphi. and suggest that injurious agents may promote LAF production.
