Abstract

The proteolytic processing of the two TNF receptors (TNF-R55 and TNF-R75) into soluble forms was investigated in the myeloid cell lines U-937 and THP-1. Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) rapidly stimulated release of soluble forms of both TNF-receptors. Incubations were made with PMA and protease inhibitors directed against different target protease groups. The serineprotease inhibitors TPCK and dichloroisocoumarin and the metalloprotease inhibitor 1,10-phenanthroline reduced PMA-induced release of both soluble receptor forms with about 60-70%. Furthermore, 1,10-phenanthroline also reduced PMA-induced down-regulation of TNF-receptors in both cell lines as judged by TNF-binding to cells. Reduced down-regulation and TNF-receptor shedding by... (More)

The proteolytic processing of the two TNF receptors (TNF-R55 and TNF-R75) into soluble forms was investigated in the myeloid cell lines U-937 and THP-1. Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) rapidly stimulated release of soluble forms of both TNF-receptors.

The serineprotease inhibitors TPCK and dichloroisocoumarin and the metalloprotease inhibitor 1,10-phenanthroline reduced PMA-induced release of both soluble receptor forms with about 60-70%. Furthermore, 1,10-phenanthroline also reduced PMA-induced down-regulation of TNF-receptors in both cell lines as judged by TNF-binding to cells. Reduced down-regulation and TNF-receptor shedding by 1,10-phenanthroline was reversed by Zn2+, indicating involvement of a Zn(2+)-dependent metalloprotease. Thus, both serine proteases and metalloproteases are involved in the processing of TNF-receptors.
