The two major human acute phase proteins are C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A (SAA). Both display rapid and marked increases in concentration following inflammatory stimuli, levels several thousand-fold greater than baseline being achieved in some severely inflamed individuals as a result of increased synthesis in hepatoqtes. In addition, the genes encoding these proteins are similar in their response to cytokines. Both are induced by interleukind (IL-6) in most model systems studied,-5 and addition of IL-1 to IL-6 has been shown to have a synergistic effect on each Studies in our laboratory have shown that both genes required the combination of IL-6 and IL-1 to achieve maximal response in Hep 3B cells while IL-6 alone was sufficient in NPLC/PRF/S cells. Previous studies have clearly indicated that transcription plays a major role in induction of both CRP and SAA. 7-9 In addition, however, the possibility of posttranscriptional regulation has been raised for both proteins. Studies of the effects of IL-6 and IL-1 on CRP inductionY5 employing CRP-CAT constructs transfected into Hep 3B cells, showed the major inducer of these constructs to be IL-6; the IL-1 effect was found to be exerted at the level of sequences downstream to the TATA box, including the first 15 nucleotides of the 5'untranslated region (UTR). The authors concluded that the effect of IL-1 must be exerted at a post-transcriptional level, probably at the level of translation.
