    Interleukin-1 (IL-1) activity from human monocytes was studied using liposomes. Lyophilized liposomes enhanced IL-1 activity from cytosol and plasma membranes, suggesting membrane IL-1 is an integral protein.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Cell Biology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a key cytokine involved in immune responses.
    • Understanding the localization and activity of IL-1 within cellular compartments is crucial for deciphering its biological functions.
    • Liposomes offer a model system to study the behavior of cellular components and their interactions with lipid bilayers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the activity of Interleukin-1 (IL-1) from various human monocyte subcellular compartments when associated with liposomes.
    • To compare the IL-1 activity of soluble IL-1 versus membrane-bound IL-1 when reconstituted into liposomes.
    • To determine the optimal liposome formulation for reconstituting monocyte IL-1 activity.

    Main Methods:

    • Human monocyte subcellular compartments (cytosol, plasma membranes, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum) were isolated.

  • IL-1 activity was assessed in these compartments, both alone and when associated with liposomes (classical and lyophilized).
  • Liposome-associated IL-1 activity was measured by stimulating responsive target cells, with some experiments including trypsin treatment.

    • Main Results:

    • Soluble IL-1 bound to lyophilized liposomes showed stimulated activity, but not when encapsulated in classical liposomes.
    • Monocyte plasma membranes retained IL-1 activity in both liposome types, with greater activity on the outer surface of lyophilized liposomes.
    • Lyophilized liposomes combined with monocyte cytosol and plasma membranes yielded the best artificial cell reconstitution, with increased IL-1 activity observed in cytosol and plasma membranes but decreased activity in lysosomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Membrane-bound IL-1 appears to be an integral membrane protein that readily integrates into lipid bilayers.
    • Lyophilized liposomes enhance the activity of monocyte IL-1, particularly from cytosol and plasma membrane fractions.
    • This study provides insights into the reconstitution of IL-1 activity using liposomes, with implications for understanding IL-1's role in cellular signaling and immune responses.
