The effect of ACTH on the expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II (I-A) glycoprotein by murine peritoneal macrophages was evaluated. ACTH suppressed the expression of I-A by macrophages in a time- and dose-dependent manner. ACTH mediated its effect by decreasing the level of I-A mRNA. ACTH suppressed the expression of I-A by macrophages from mice that are susceptible to the in vivo growth of mycobacteria but did not affect the expression of I-A by macrophages from Mycobacterium bovis strain (BCG)-resistant mice. The concentrations of ACTH required to suppress I-A expression were greater than that required for an effect on adrenal steroid production and may be related to the localized production of ACTH by lymphocytes and macrophages.
