Using a functioning rat thyroid cell line (FRTL-5), we examined the effects of some cytokines, particularly interleukin-1 (IL-1) on the growth of thyroid cells. In 5H medium, namely Coon's modified Ham's F-12 medium supplemented with 5% calf serum and a five-hormone preparation consisting of insulin, hydrocortisone, transferrin, glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine acetate and somatostatin, IL-1 enhanced the growth of FRTL-5 cells detected by [3H]TdR incorporation. However, in 6H medium (5H medium plus bovine TSH), IL-1 inhibited the growth of FRTL-5 cells. Both effects were neutralized by the addition of anti-IL-1 antibody. Furthermore, IL-1 inhibited the growth of FRTL-5 cells induced by forskolin which is known as an adenylate cyclase activator. FRTL-5 cells have specific IL-1 receptors detected by the binding of 125I-labeled IL-1 alpha. By Scatchard plot analysis, the numbers and the dissociation constants of IL-1 receptors on FRTL-5 cells were shown to be 5225/cell and 8.69 x 10(-10) M. Interleukin-2, interleukin-6 and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) had no significant effects on the cell growth in 6H medium, while IFN-gamma and insulin-like growth factor I stimulated cell growth somewhat in 5H medium. These results suggest that IL-1 plays a regulatory role in the growth of thyroid cells through binding to the IL-1 receptors.
