Interleukin-1
(IL-1
) is a proinflammatory cytokine that elicits the majority of its biological activity extracellularly, but the lack of a secretory signal sequence prevents its export via classical secretory pathways. Efficient externalization of IL-1
in macrophages and monocytes can occur via stimulation of P2X7 nucleotide receptors with extracellular ATP. However, the exact mechanisms by which the activation of these non-selective cation channels facilitates secretion of IL-1
remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate a pivotal role for a sustained increase in cytosolic Ca2+ to potentiate secretion of IL-1
via the P2X7 receptors. Using HEK 293 fibroblasts engineered to co-express P2X7 receptors with mature IL-1
, we show that activation of P2X7 receptors results in a rapid secretion of mIL-1
by a process(s) that is dependent on influx of extracellular Ca2+ and a sustained rise in cytosolic Ca2+. Moreover, reduction in extracellular Ca 2+ attenuates ~ 90 % of P2X7 receptor-mediated IL-1
secretion but has no effect on enzymatic processing of proIL-1
to mIL-1
by caspase-1. Similar experiments with THP-1 human monocytes and Bac1.2F5 murine macrophages confirm the unique role of Ca 2+ in P2X7 receptor-mediated secretion of IL-1
. In addition, we report that cell surface expression of P2X7 receptors in the absence of external stimulation also results in enhanced release of IL-1
and that this can be repressed by inhibitors of P2X7 receptors. Taken together, we clarify an essential role for Ca 2+ in ATP-induced IL-1
secretion and indicate an additional role of P2X7 receptors as enhancers of the secretory apparatus by which IL-1
is released.
