RESUMO
Previous work has shown that corticotropin releasing factor, vasoactive intestinal peptide, phorbol ester, and forskolin cause the secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone and beta-endorphin from the AtT-20 mouse pituitary cell line. Human recombinant interleukin 1 alpha and 1 beta also stimulated adrenocorticotropic hormone and beta-endorphin secretion from AtT-20 cells in a time- and dose-related manner. The effect appeared only after pretreatment with interleukin 1 (IL-1) for at least 18 hr and was maximum at 24 hr. After pretreatment of the cells over a period of time with IL-1, the secretion induced by corticotropin releasing factor and vasoactive intestinal peptide was increased in more than an additive manner. The enhancement of corticotropin releasing factor-induced beta-endorphin release produced by IL-1 was apparent after 12 hr and reached a maximum at 24 hr. IL-1 did not affect forskolin-induced cAMP generation but enhanced the effect of forskolin on beta-endorphin secretion. This suggests that IL-1 does not induce adenylate cyclase and that forskolin causes the secretion of beta-endorphin by a mechanism independent of cAMP. IL-1 enhanced phorbol ester-induced beta-endorphin secretion. After prolonged treatment with phorbol ester (an activator of protein kinase C), the secretion induced by phorbol ester was abolished as well as the enhancement induced by IL-1. However, prolonged treatment with phorbol ester had no effect on IL-1-induced beta-endorphin secretion. These observations suggest that IL-1 enhances peptide-generated secretion of beta-endorphin by inducing protein kinase C.
