Human Monocytes and Neutrophils Store Transforming Growth Factor-alpha in a Subpopulation of Cytoplasmic Granules

Jero Calafat, Hans Janssen, Mona Stå hle-Bäckdahl, Astrid E.M. Zuurbier, Edward F. Knol, and Arne Egesten

From the Division of Cell Biology, Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam; Central Laboratory of The Netherlands Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service, Amsterdam, The Netherlands; Department of Dermatology, Karolinska Hospital, Stockholm; and Department of Medicine, University Hospital MAS, Malmö, Sweden.

Transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha ) exerts several effects on target cells, such as neovascularization promotion and mitogenic signalling. Using immunoelectron microscopy, we show that monocytes and neutrophils, store TGF-alpha in cytoplasmic granules. In monocytes, TGF-alpha did not colocalize with components of peroxidase-positive granules or with albumin of secretory vesicles. Furthermore, no colocalization of TGF-alpha with components of azurophilic or specific granules or secretory vesicles was observed in neutrophils. Activated monocytes and tissue-macrophages contained much less TGF-alpha -positive granules, suggesting TGF-alpha release. Western blot analysis showed a protein of 10 kD in lysates of monocytes. TGF-alpha mRNA was detected in monocytoid cells from the bone marrow by in situ hybridization. This study shows for the first time that monocytes and neutrophils contain TGF-alpha in all stages of maturation and that TGF-alpha in monocytes is stored in a large population of peroxidase-negative granules suggesting a function for these granules. Monocytes and neutrophils are important effector cells in inflammatory reactions. The present finding that these cells contain TGF-alpha might explain complications such as fibrosis and neoplastic transformation, caused by chronic inflammation.
