Previous studies have demonstrated that synthesis of the two major human acute phase proteins, C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A (SAA), by human hepatoma cell lines was not affected by preparations of interleukin-1 (IL-1) or tumor necrosis factor .alpha. but was increased after exposure to conditioned medium from lipopolysaccharide-activated monocytes. We report that neutralizing antibodies raised against Escherichia coli-derived recombinant human interleukin-6 (IL-6) were capable of inhibiting induction of CRP and SAA by monocyte conditioned medium in both NPLC/PRF/5 and Hep 3B cell lines. Partially purified IL-6 from lipopolysaccharide-stimulated human fibroblasts and recombinant derived IL-6 induced both CRP and SAA synthesis in a concentration dependent manner in the NPLC/PRF/5 cell line. In contrast, in Hep 3B cells, IL-6 alone had no discernable effect on the induction of either CRP or SAA, but was capable of causing increased synthesis of .alpha.1-protease inhibitor and fibrinogen and reduced synthesis of albumin. The addition of IL-1 to IL-6 led to induction of both CRP and SAA in Hep 3B cells, but did not augment the response of either CRP or SAA in NPLC/PRF/5 cells. These studies indicate that IL-6 plays a central role in induction of both CRP and SAA synthesis in the two human hepatoma cell lines. The different observations in the two hepatoma lines we studied likely reflect differences between these transformed cell lines in genetic regulatory mechanisms or other intracellular mechanisms by which extracellular signals affect expression of the CRP and SAA genes. Furthermore, our findings sugest that the mechanisms by which IL-6 regulates synthesis of CRP and SAA in Hep 3B cells differ from those involved in induction of .alpha.1-protease inhibitor and fibrinogen and in inhibition of albumin synthesis.
