The role of interleukin-1 (IL-1 ) as a regulator of the immune
response, although extensively investigated, is still debated. We then
studied the expression of IL-1 by human dendritic cells (DCs), the
professional antigen presenting cells, and its modulation during immune
reactions in vitro. Our results show that, on maturation or tetanus
toxoid presentation to specific CD4+ CD40L+
T lymphocytes, DCs begin to accumulate IL-1 precursor (pro-IL-1 ) but do not secrete bioactive IL-1 . In contrast, interaction with alloreactive T cells results in both stimulation of pro-IL-1 synthesis and secretion of processed isoforms of the cytokine, that
display biologic activity. Both CD4+ and
CD8+ subsets of allospecific T lymphocytes are required:
CD4+ T cells drive the synthesis of pro-IL-1 through
CD40 engagement but have no effects on pro-IL-1 processing;
CD8+ T cells, unable to induce synthesis of pro-IL-1
per se, are responsible for the generation of mature IL-1 by
pro-IL-1 -producing DCs. Interleukin-1 -converting enzyme (ICE)
inhibitors do not prevent the recovery of IL-1 bioactivity after
allorecognition, indicating that allospecific CD8+ T
cells may induce the release of bioactive IL-1 via mechanism(s) other than ICE activation. Altogether, these findings suggest that
CD4+ and CD8+ T-lymphocyte subsets have
distinct roles in the induction of IL-1 secretion by DCs and support
the hypothesis that IL-1 plays a role in cell-mediated immune responses.
