Three human cell lines derived from oro-pharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas of the head were investigated for bone-resorbing activity in vitro. Culture media from all three spontaneously produced a non-dialysable osteolytic factor with activity in three in vitro assays for interleukin 1 (IL1), viz. the lymphocyte activating factor (LAF) assay, stimulation of collagenase synthesis by articular chondrocytes, and stimulation of prostaglandin E2 synthesis by fibroblasts. Addition of anti-human IL1 antibody to the culture media abolished all the bone-resorbing activity. Fractionation of the cell culture media by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) showed a single peak of activity in the chondrocyte assay with an apparent mol.wt of 15-17,000. This co-eluted with activity in a preparation of IL1 from rat peritoneal macrophage cultures. These results indicate that IL1 is responsible for the prostaglandin-independent bone resorbing activity synthesised by these cells in vitro, and may contribute to the bone destruction associated with the tumour.

Macromolecular osteolytic factor synthesised by squamous carcinoma cell lines from the head and neck in vitro is interleukin 1
