BACKGROUND: We established a T cell line, STO-5, which constitutively produced monocyte/macrophage chemotactic activity via human T cell lymphoma-leukemia-virus-induced transformation of normal human T cells.
METHODS: We isolated and purified a lactose-binding protein, MCF-pl5-L (MW of about 50 kD, pl of about 5) from a conditioned medium of STO-5. By using highly purified MCF-pl5-L, its biological and physicochemical properties were elucidated in comparison with C5a and MCP-1.
RESULTS: MCF-pl5-L exhibited an evident dose-dependent monocyte chemotactic activity (MCA). MCF-pl5-L had no or little affinity for heparin unlike chemokines such as MCP-1. We further found that MCF-pl5-L exhibited potent chemotactic activity not only for monocytes but also for alveolar macrophages. In contrast, C5a and MCP-1 failed to show evident chemotactic activity for alveolar macrophages though they did show MCA. MCF-pl5-L failed to exhibit evident eosinophil and neutrophil chemotactic activities, indicating its chemotactic activity is selective for monocytes/macrophages. Regarding the biological functions of MCF-pl5-L other than MCA and chemotactic activity for alveolar macrophages, we found that MCF-pl5-L but not C5a and MCP-1 could prolong the life span of alveolar macrophages, probably by inhibiting apoptosis of macrophages, and stimulate the production of TNF-alpha from macrophages.
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that MCF-pl5-L plays a role as an immune modulator for monocytes/macrophages in the site.
