Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) induces lymphopenia, neutropenia, and biphasic neutrophilia after intravenous injection of 3,000 U TNF in Lewis rats. The mechanism of TNF-induced lymphopenia was investigated by means of thoracic duct cannulation. Hourly measurements of lymphocyte recirculation via the thoracic duct failed to reveal any significant decrease in lymphocyte recirculation in TNF-treated vs. control rats, suggesting that a decrease in lymphocyte recirculation through the thoracic duct is not the mechanism for TNF-induced lymphopenia. The mechanism of TNF-induced neutropenia was investigated by administering TNF to rats in whom a neutrophilia had been induced with interleukin-1 (IL-1). In rats with neutrophilia, TNF resulted in a sharp decrease in the circulating neutrophil pool, demonstrating that TNF induces neutropenia by causing neutrophils to leave the circulating pool rather than decreasing neutrophil release from the marrow. The mechanism of neutropenia was furthermore shown to be due to the transient intravascular margination of neutrophils by administering epinephrine concomitantly with TNF. Epinephrine, which causes neutrophilia solely by demargination, abrogated the TNF-induced neutropenia and actually re...Continue Reading
