Induction, transcription, synthesis, and adsorption of interleukin-1 by dialyzer membranes

This study was designed to dissect the direct effect of dialyzer membrane on interleukin-1 (IL-1) induction from those of complement activation, mechanical stimulation, acetate/bicarbonate and endotoxin diffusion, and cell type interactions. To this end, a suspension of P388D1 murine macrophages in a complement-free culture medium containing 10% heat-inactivated serum, a closed-loop system consisting of tubing alone or with a hollow-fiber cuprammonium cellulose (CU) or polyacrylonitrile (PAN) dialyzer, and a roller pump were used. The dialysate compartment was filled with the same medium and capped. Cell suspension was recirculated at 300 mL/min for 3 h. Cells and supernates were separated, and adhering proteins were eluted. All samples tested negative for endotoxin. IL-1 mRNA was greatest with CU, followed by PAN and tubing alone. IL-1 in the supernate was greater with CU than with either tubing alone or PAN (P < 0.005; analysis of variance), which showed comparable values. IL-1 eluted from loops was greatest with PAN dialyzers, followed by sets with CU dialyzers and tubing alone (P < 0.001; analysis of variance). Thus, both CU and PAN membranes directly induce IL-1. However, avid adsorption by PAN attenuates the rise in circulating IL-1.
