Numerous studies have reported altered in vivo cytokine production in various diseases. In the present study we used specific immunoassays to quantitate production of interleukin 1.beta. (IL 1.beta.), IL 1.alpha., tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and IL2 from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The distribution of cell-associated and secreted cytokines was studied in PBMC of 21 individuals; in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) the proportion of cell-associated IL 1.beta. ranged from 13% to 56%, for IL 1.alpha. 29% to 98%, and for TNF 2% to 17%. In a large cohort of 32 subjects, the total amount of immunoreactive cytokines produced in response to LPS or phytohemagglutin was normally distributed within the study group. Mean production of IL 1.alpha. in response to LPS was 10.1 ng/ml and exceeded production of iL 1.beta. (5.6 ng/ml)and TNF (2.2 ng/ml). The distribution pattern was characterized by high intersubject variability extending over two orders of magnitude and the presence of high and low "producers". Production of IL1 .alpha. and IL 1.beta. correlated (R = 0.69). In contrast, production of IL 1.beta. did not correlate with production of TNF or IL2. Indomethacin present during stimulation of PBMC increased the amount of IL 1.beta. produced and showed a high correlation (R = 0.83) compared to cultures without indomethacin. Thus, low production of IL 1.beta. in certain subjects appears not to be due to inhibitable levels of cyclooxygenase products. In a retrospective study, PBMC from 12 subjects who had taken oral cyclooxygenase inhibitors during the preceding 7 days produced 43% more IL 1.beta. than subjects who did not take these drugs (p < 0.05). These studies demonstrate that the amount of cytokine synthesized by PBMC (a) is regulated independently for IL 1, TNF and IL 2; (b) correlates for IL 1.beta. and IL 1.alpha.; (c) is intrinsic for low and high "producers", and (d) production of IL 1.beta.increases with the use of oral cyclooxygenase inhibitors.
