A factor in medium conditioned by mouse tumor cells was shown previously to suppress the capacity of mouse peritoneal macrophages to undergo a respiratory burst and to kill protozoal pathogens (macrophage deactivation factor, MDF). Recently, pure transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) proved to be a potent macrophage deactivator as well. Two lines of evidence suggest that MDF is not identical with TGF-beta. First, rabbit anti-TGF-beta IgG neutralized the respiratory burst-suppressing activity of TGF-beta without affecting the bioactivity of MDF, even when the latter was treated with acid to activate potentially latent TGF-beta. Second, in contrast to MDF, which decreases the affinity of the NADPH oxidase for NADPH, permeabilized macrophages that had been deactivated with TGF-beta displayed the same Km and Vmax of the oxidase as activated macrophages. As with MDF, TGF-beta had no effect on two other potential control points over the secretion of respiratory burst products, namely, hydrogen peroxide catabolism or glucose uptake. Finally, neither MDF nor TGF-beta affected the extent or affinity of binding of phorbol diesters to macrophages, the activity or cofactor requirements for protein kinase C, or the ability of protein kinase C to translocate quantitatively from cytosol to membrane fractions in response to phorbol diesters. Thus, 1) MDF is not identical with TGF-beta, and 2) in contrast to the activation or deactivation of macrophages by numerous other agents, TGF-beta regulates macrophage respiratory burst capacity at a level other than the apparent affinity of the oxidase for its substrate.
