The rat hepatoma cell line Fao was used to study the role of three inflammatory mediators on the mRNA regulation of several acute-phase proteins. In the presence of 10-6 M dexamethasone .beta.-fibrinogen mRNA levels increased 6-fold after addition of recombinant human IL 6 (rhIL6). rhIL1.beta. or recombinant human tumor necrosis factor .alpha. (rhTNF.alpha.) had essentially no effect on .beta.-fibrinogen mRNA induction but led to a 20-fold increase in .alpha.1-acid glycoprotein mRNA in the presence of dexamethasone. On the other hand, rhIL6 was a much weaker stimulator of .alpha.1-acid glycoprotein mRNA synthesis. All three mediators reduced albumin mRNA concentrations to about 30% of controls. Whereas the induction of .beta.-fibrinogen mRNA was potentiated by dexamethasone, the synthetic glucocorticoid analog was an absolute requirement for the stimulation of .alpha.1-acid glycoprotein mRNA. The mRNA levels of the negative acute-phase protein albumin were induced 5-fold by dexamethasone alone. The .beta.-fibrinogen mRNA induction started immediately after addition of rhIL6 and reached a maximum between 12 and 18 h. In contrast, the time-course for .alpha.1-acid glycoprotein mRNA synthesis showed a lag phase of 8 h followed by an increase up to 20 h after rhIL1.beta.. rhTNF.alpha. led to an even more delayed increase in .alpha.1-acid glycoprotein mRNA. Whereas in the case of .beta.-fibrinogen mRNA induction no synergistic effect was observed between various concentrations of the three mediators, the combination of rhIL 6/rhIL1.beta. as well as rhIL6/rhTNF.alpha. or rhIL1.beta./rhTNF.alpha. regulated synergistically .alpha.1-acid glycoprotein and albumin mRNA. It is concluded that discrete acute-phase proteins are regulated differently by the inflammatory mediators IL 6, IL 1.beta. and TNF.alpha., indicating that the acute-phase response is more complex than previously assumed. The Fao cell line used in this study turned out to be an ideal model for acute-phase protein regulation, suitable for the discrimination between the inflammatory mediators IL6 and IL1/TNF.alpha.
