Cytokine-induced production of IFN-beta 2/IL-6 by freshly explanted human endometrial stromal cells. Modulation by estradiol-17 beta

The cytokine IFN-beta 2/IL-6 has emerged as an important means of communication between cells--both within the immune system as well as outside it. In exploring the link between the endocrine and the immune systems, we have studied the secretion of IFN-beta 2/IL-6 by freshly explanted human endometrial stromal cells and its modulation by estrogens. Endometrial stromal cells produced IFN-beta 2/IL-6 in response to other inflammation-associated cytokines such as IL-1 alpha or beta, TNF, and IFN-gamma. This secretion was strongly inhibited by estradiol-17 beta at concentrations as low as 10(-9) M. Multiple species of stromal cell IFN-beta 2/IL-6 in the size range 23 to 30 kDa were detected using immunoprecipitation or immunoblotting procedures. The endometrial stromal cell IFN-beta 2/IL-6 species were phosphorylated and differentially glycosylated in a manner comparable to IFN-beta 2/IL-6 secreted by induced human peripheral blood monocytes or foreskin fibroblasts. However, in contrast to peripheral blood monocytes and fibroblasts, bacterial LPS did not induce IFN-beta 2/IL-6 production in endometrial stromal cells. Additionally, the IFN-beta 2/IL-6 identified in medium from IL-1 alpha-induced stromal cells is biologically active on hepatocytes. These observations, taken together with the observation that IFN-beta 2/IL-6 strongly inhibits the proliferation of human epithelial cells, suggest the possibility that stromal cell secreted IFN-beta 2/IL-6 may affect the physiology of the overlying epithelium in an hormonally modulated manner. Estrogen- regulated production of endometrial IFN-beta 2/IL-6 may participate in gender-specific systemic immunomodulation.
