Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We have investigated the effects of interleukin 1 (IL-1) administration on the ability of neutropenic mice to resist Pseudomonas aeruginosa challenge in vivo. Cyclophosphamide-treated mice received human rIL-1 beta at 7.0, 0.7, or 00.7 micrograms/kg, according to different regimens, to be challenged with a lethal ip inoculum of pseudomonas cells 5 days after myelosuppression. The repeated exposure of the neutropenic mice to an overall cytokine dosage of 7.0 or 0.7 micrograms/kg during the 4 days after myelosuppression was found to optimally restore the animals' antibacterial resistance. However, when administered as a single injection 24 hr before challenge, the same dosages of IL-1 had lower or no effect in enhancing survival, primarily leading only to a reduction in the amount of antipseudomonal chemotherapy required for cure. The regimen of IL-1 administration conferring optimal protection also resulted in a decrease in the number of pseudomonas cells recovered from the peritoneal cavity of infected mice. This regimen accelerated hematopoietic recovery in cyclophosphamide-treated mice. Assay of serum colony-stimulating activity (CSA) revealed that (a) cyclophosphamide treatment alone significantly increased the level of circulating CSA, (b) administration of a single dose of IL-1 to neutropenic mice induced an early, further increase in serum CSA, followed by depression, (c) a biphasic pattern of CSA response was also evident in mice repeatedly treated with IL-1. These results suggest that regulation of hematopoiesis may have an important role in the induction of antibacterial resistance in myelosuppressed hosts repeatedly treated with low dosages of IL-1.
