We studied interleukin-1 (IL-1) secretion by rat peritoneal exudate macrophages stimulated with purified toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1). TSST-1 was observed to be a more potent inducer of IL-1 than was endotoxin. The induction of IL-1 secretion by TSST-1 was not blocked by polymyxin B but could be blocked by monoclonal antibodies directed against TSST-1. Synergistic induction of IL-1 was observed when the cells were stimulated with TSST-1 and endotoxin. The sequence of addition was found to be important for the synergistic response. Enhanced IL-1 production was observed only when macrophages were exposed to endotoxin before or simultaneously with TSST-1. Prior exposure of macrophages to TSST-1 had no enhancing effect on endotoxin-induced IL-1 secretion. We conclude that stimulation of the macrophage by endotoxin enhances the responsiveness of the cells to TSST-1 and may thereby play a role in the pathogenesis of toxic shock syndrome.
