Interactions involved in the regulation of nerve growth factor (NGF) release by inflammatory cytokines: interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) were examined in rat neonatal cortical astrocytes in primary culture.Exposure of cultured astrocytes to IL-1 beta, IL-6, and TGF-beta 1 resulted in the stimulation of NGF secretion. Treatment of cells for 24 h with IL-1 beta (10 U/ml), IL-6 (5 ng/ml) and TGF-beta 1 (5 ng/ml) caused 3-, 1.8-, and 2.8-fold increase in NGF secretion as compared to the control cells. In contrast TNF-alpha (30 ng/ml) by itself had no stimulatory action on NGF release whereas co-stimulation of astrocytes with IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha showed a synergistic interaction. Go-treatment of astrocytes with IL-1 beta and TGF-beta 1 increased NGF secretion in an additive way, whereas simultaneous application of IL-1 beta and IL-6 resulted in the inhibitory effect on NGF secretion. Our results suggest that interactions between cytokines used cause the stimulation of NGF secretion through different regulatory mechanisms.
