Our previous data have demonstrated that LPS-stimulated alveolar macrophages produce higher levels of IL-1beta and TNF-alpha mRNA in low-Mg(2+) medium than in normal-Mg(2+) medium. In this study, we examined whether the increased mRNA levels are correlated with the release of both cytokines. LPS-stimulated alveolar macrophages released higher amounts of IL-1beta and TNF-alpha in low-Mg(2+) medium than in normal-Mg(2+) medium. The enhanced release of IL-1beta was completely suppressed by pretreatment with verapamil (a calcium entry blocker), U73122 (a phospholipase C inhibitor), W-7 (a calmodulin inhibitor), and curcumin (an activator-protein [AP]-1 inhibitor), and weakly suppressed by dexamethasone (which inhibits nuclear factor [NF]-kappaB and AP-1). On the other hand, the enhanced release of TNF-alpha was completely suppressed by U73122, and strongly suppressed by TMB-8 (which inhibits calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum) and W-7, and weakly suppressed by pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (a NF-kappaB inhibitor). From these results, we conclude that the enhanced release of IL-1beta and TNF-alpha from LPS-stimulated alveolar macrophages in low-Mg(2+) medium depends partly on the enhanced synthesis of both cytokines, and occurs partly via identical, and partly via different, signaling pathways.
