The expression of interleukin 1 receptors (IL 1R) on human peripheral T cells was studied by the binding assay with 125I-labeled recombinant human interleukin 1 (IL 1) alpha and IL 1 beta and by the flow cytofluorometry with the fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated IL 1 alpha. Peripheral blood lymphocytes expressed only few IL 1R without any stimulations. When they were stimulated with concanavalin A (Con A), IL 1R-positive cells began to increase by 4 hr, reached the maximum level at 48 hr, and then gradually decreased. The kinetics of the expression of IL 1 alpha R and IL 1 beta R showed the same pattern. Furthermore the binding of 125I-labeled IL 1 alpha to IL 1R on T cells was inhibited by the addition of either cold IL 1 alpha or IL beta, but not by interleukin 2 or interferons. The similar results were observed in the binding of 125I-labeled IL 1 beta. These results suggest that IL 1R on human peripheral T cells reactive for IL 1 alpha and IL 1 beta were identical. By Scatchard plot analysis, the numbers of IL 1R were estimated as 40 and 350 molecules per cell before and after Con A stimulation, respectively, and their Kd values were 3.1 X 10(-10) M and 2.8 X 10(-10) M. When purified T cells alone were stimulated with Con A, IL 1R were only marginally expressed. However, by the addition of monocytes, IL 1R were expressed on T cells in a dose-dependent manner. The maximum response was induced in the presence of 10% monocytes. The maximum IL 1R-positive T cells were approximately 30% by the detection of the flow cytofluorometry with FITC-conjugated IL 1 alpha. This enhancing activity of IL 1R expression on T cells by monocytes was inhibited by the addition of an anti-HLA-DR antibody or by the treatment of monocytes with the anti-HLA-DR antibody and complement. Furthermore T cell proliferative responses induced with IL 1 and Con A were also enhanced by the addition of HLA-DR-positive monocytes. These results suggest that IL 1R are expressed as the result of monocyte-T cell interaction in the early stage of T cell activation, and the expression of IL 1R on T cells and the responsiveness of T cells for IL 1 require the accessory function of HLA-DR-positive monocytes.
