The molecular mechanism by which the deleterious cytokines interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) are induced in endotoxin-stimulated microglia was investigated from the viewpoint of signal transduction. Neither cytokine is produced in nonstimulated rat microglia, but both are remarkably induced by stimulation with endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS). LPS-inducible IL-1 beta was significantly suppressed by pretreatment with the nuclear factor kappa B (NF kappa B) inhibitor ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC), but TNF alpha was not. APDC was actually confirmed to suppress the degradation Of I kappa B alpha. and I kappa B beta in microglia, indicating a role for the inhibitor of NF kappa B activation. Taken together, these results suggest that the induction of IL-1 beta and TNF alpha. in endotoxin-stimulated microglia is differentially regulated at the level of NF kappa B activation.
