✦ Synopsis

Chemokines are secreted proteins that function as chemoattractants, mediating the recruitment of specific subsets of leukocytes to sites of tissue damage and immunological reactions. Chemokines may also function as antiviral agents, since viruses such as human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) use chemokine receptors as co-receptors for viral entry. This study examines whether virus-induced interferon, IFN␤, or immune-related interferon, IFN␥, affects the production of ␤-chemokines by CNS microglia and peripheral monocytes. When IFN␤ was used as the stimulus, induction of MIP-1␣, MIP-1␤, MCP-1, and RANTES mRNA and protein was observed within 12 h of stimulation in microglia. By contrast, when IFN␥ was used as the stimulus, only MCP-1 was induced. IFN␤ stimulation of blood monocytes resulted in upregulation of MIP-1␣, MIP-1␤, and MCP-1. Thus, type I and II interferons differentially regulate ␤-chemokines in human fetal microglia and peripheral blood monocytes. These observations may have relevance for the therapeutic activity of IFN␤ in multiple sclerosis and for the antiviral effects of IFN␤ for HIV-1 infection of monocytes and microglia.
