Neurotensin, at less than or equal to 10(-9) M, in the presence of an optimal concentration of macrophage CSF (CSF-1), stimulated a dose-dependent enhancement of colony formation by murine marrow-derived mononuclear phagocyte progenitor cells. The additional colonies arose from the cell cycle and Ia Ag-positive subpopulation previously identified as two-signal-dependent progenitors. Two-signal colony formation diminished when the peptide was added at concentrations greater than 10(-9) M. Neurotensin binds specifically to two distinct receptors, a high affinity receptor (KD approximately 10(-9) M) and a lower affinity (KD approximately 10(-7) M) receptor identified as the tuftsin receptor. Rat liver ferritin and an inhibitory tuftsin analog. (ALA1)-tuftsin, which inhibit two-signal colony formation stimulated by tuftsin and tuftsin-like peptides in combination with CSF-1, did not inhibit colony formation stimulated by CSF-1 and 10(-9) M neurotensin. Both inhibitors, however, reversed the loss of two-signal colony growth in the presence of higher neurotensin concentrations. Neurotensin fragment 1-6, unlike ferritin and (ALA1)-tuftsin, inhibited two-signal colony formation stimulated by 10(-9) M neurotensin. However, like ferritin and (ALA1)-tuftsin, fragment 1-6 permitted full expression of two-signal colony formation in the presence of CSF-1 and 10(-7) M neurotensin. The data indicated that occupancy of both receptors at neurotensin concentrations greater than 10(-9) M might be responsible for the diminished progenitor response. The data further support a potential role for neurotensin as an inflammatory mediator. In addition to direct effects on mature phagocytic leukocytes, neurotensin, at least in vitro can influence the production of new mononuclear phagocytes.
