Abstract

The relationship between tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and macrophages or macrophage-like cell line, especially the lysosomal enzymes was investigated. The serum lysosomal enzymes and LDH activities were increased in proportion to the TNF production even in different strains of mice. Lysosomal enzymes and TNF activity were released into the supernatant of the culture medium of macrophage-enriched peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) or spleen cells derived from Propionibacterium acnes-primed mice after addition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). After passage through a Sephadex G-10 column, TNF activity could not be detected in the supernatant of these spleen cells after addition of LPS. Also TNF activity could not be detected in the supernatant following destruction of PEC. These results suggest that TNF producibility is strongly related to the degree of activation of macrophages, especially the lysosomal enzymes. The murine macrophage-like cell line, J774, also released TNF activity and lysosomal enzymes after addition of LPS.
