Human alveolar macrophages (A-M ) and macrophages (M ) generated from human monocytes under the influence of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factors (GM-M ) express high levels of catalase activity and are highly resistant to H2O2. In contrast, M generated from monocytes by macrophage colonystimulating factors (M-M ) express low catalase activity and are about 50-fold more sensitive to H2O2 than GM-M or A-M . Both A-M and GM-M but not M-M can induce catalase expression in both protein and mRNA levels when stimulated with H2O2 or zymosan. M-M but not GM-M produce a large amount of H2O2 in response to zymosan or heat-killed Staphylococcus aureus. These findings indicate that GM-M and A-M but not M-M are strong scavengers of H2O2 via the high basal level of catalase activity and a marked ability of catalase induction and that catalase activity of M is regulated by colony-stimulating factors during differentiation. Human alveolar macrophages (A-M )1 can survive for a long duration (1 4) to exposure to not only chemical pollutants and exogenous oxidants but also inflammatory mediators and endogenously generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) and play important roles in phagocytosis-mediated host defense against microbial infection via the airway (5, 6). Superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione are the main cellular ROS-degrading enzyme systems; superoxide dismutase converts superoxide . radical (O2) into H2O2, which is metabolized by catalase and glutathione peroxidase. Previous studies indicated that these enzymes are abundant in A-M (79). However, the mechanism to maintain high antioxidant activities in A-M has not been understood because of its heterogeneity and lack of availability to study.

Colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) such as granulocyte-macrophage CSF (GM-CSF) and macrophage-CSF (M-CSF) play important roles in survival and differentiation of monocytes/ M . Previously, we reported that CSFs such as GM-CSF and M-CSF stimulate M generation from human monocytes, but GM-CSF-induced M (GM-M ) and M-CSF-induced M (MM ), however, are distinct in their morphology, cell surface antigen expression (c-fms, CD14, CD71, and 710F), and sensitivity to human immunodeficiency virus, type I (HIV-I) infection (10 14). Other studies also demonstrated that human monocyte-derived GM-M and M-M are distinct in their expression of CD14, integrin, and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity activity (1518). Numerous studies show that the phenotype of human A-M closely resembles that of GM-M in morphology (fried egg-like shape) (19), the expression of cell surface antigens (c-fmslow, CD14low, CD71 , and 710F ) (11, 13, 20 22), and function (resistance to M -tropic HIV-I infection) (12, 23). In contrast, M-M are elongated and spindleshaped, express c-fmshigh and CD14high, which are similar to the phenotype of anaerobic peritoneal M (11, 20, 21, 24), and are sensitive to M -tropic HIV-I infection (12). These findings suggest that CSF is one of the critical factors in the determination of phenotypical characteristics of tissue M in the human system, and CSF-induced monocyte-derived M are available to analyze tissue M . In the present study, we investigated whether the antioxidant states of GM-M are at similar levels to those of A-M by assessment of H2O2 sensitivity and catalase activity. We found that GM-M express high basal and inducible levels of catalase activity, are highly resistant to H2O2 compared with M-M , and inhibit H2O2 production when stimulated with microbial stimulants. We also observed that catalase activity and sensitivity to H2O2 in GM-M are at similar levels to those in A-M . These findings suggest that GM-CSF but not M-CSF induces a strong antioxidant system in human tissue M during the differentiation.

Role of Catalase in H2O2 Resistance of Human Macrophages

Schering-Plough Japan (Osaka, Japan) and Morinaga Milk Industry Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan), respectively. Preparation and Culture of MacrophagesPeripheral blood mononuclear cells were obtained from venous blood drawn from normal healthy volunteers as described previously (12, 13). Briefly, peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated by centrifugation on a Ficoll-Metrizoate density gradient (Lymphoprep; Nycomed, Oslo, Norway) and then placed into monocyte-isolating plates (MSP plates; Japan Immunoresearch Laboratories, Co., Ltd., Takasaki, Japan) for 2 h at 37 C in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere (CO2 incubator). More than 97% of the recovered cells were judged to be monocytes based on morphology, nonspecific esterase staining (cells were stained using a kit for -naphthyl butyrate esterase), CD14 positivity, and their ability to phagocytize latex particles. Monocytes (2.5 105 per ml or 5 105 per 2 ml in 12or 6-well tissue culture plates, respectively) were then cultured with a optimal concentration of GM-CSF (500 units/ml) or M-CSF (104 units/ ml) for 7 days at 37 C in a CO2 incubator. During the culture, monocytes underwent morphologic changes characteristic of monocytes to M differentiation such as an increase in their size and adherence. Human A-M (2.5 105 per ml or 5 105 per 2 ml in 12- or 6-well tissue culture plates, respectively) were obtained from healthy volunteers (non-smokers without pathogenesis) by bronchoalveolar lavage (4, 25). All volunteers agreed with a document to permit the use of A-M in part of this study, as informed consent. A-M were incubated in plastic dishes for 1 h at 37 C in a CO2 incubator, and non-adherent cells were removed by repeated washing. Assessment of Cell Number and ViabilityCell viability was assessed by trypan blue dye exclusion. The number of adherent monocytes and monocyte-derived M s was determined by the method described previously by Nakagawara and Nathan (26). Briefly, cultures were depleted of medium by gentle aspiration and then replenished with 1% (w/v) cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (Cetavlon; Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., Osaka, Japan) in 0.1 M citric acid with 0.05% (w/v) naphthol blue black (Sigma) at room temperature for 3 min. This treatment readily lysed the adherent cells and liberated stained intact nuclei, which were then counted using a TATAI hemocytometer (American Optical). Measurement of Catalase ActivityIntracellular and extracellular catalase activity was measured according to the method described by Aebi (27). Briefly, M were cultured in the phenol red-free medium (Life Technologies, Inc.) supplemented with the indicated concentrations of M-CSF or GM-CSF. Culture supernatants were harvested at 48 h for the measurement of extracellular catalase. To measure the intracellular catalase, cell lysates were prepared with a specific lysis buffer (10 mmol/liter EDTA, 2% Triton-X, 0.05% deoxycholic acid in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.4) and then diluted with 50 mmol/liter phosphate buffer (pH 7.0). 2 ml of the diluted sample was dispensed into a quartz cube, followed by 1 ml of 30 mmol/liter H2O2 in phosphate buffer (pH 7.0). Catalase activity was measured by the consumption of H2O2 at 240 nm in a spectrophotometer (Graphicord UV-240; Shimadzu Co., Kyoto, Japan) at 20 C. The slope was converted into catalase activity units based on the standard curve of purified human erythrocyte catalase (HEC, 5 104 units/mg, Lot. number 643793; Calbiochem-Novabiochem). The activity is shown as milliunits/ml per well (2.5 105 cells) or units per mg of protein using a protein assay kit (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA). Isolation of RNA and Northern Blot AnalysisIsolation of total RNA and Northern blot analysis were performed as described previously (13). Briefly, cells were lysed with denaturing solution containing 4 mol/liter guanidine thiocyanate, 25 mmol/liter sodium citrate (pH 7.0), 0.5% sarcosyl, and 0.1 mol/liter 2-mercaptoethanol. After transfer to a polypropylene tube, total RNA was extracted by sequential addition of 2 mol/liter sodium acetate (pH 4.0), water-saturated phenol, and chloroform-isoamylalcohol (49:1), followed by centrifugation at 10,000 rpm for 20 min at 4 C and then precipitated with isopropanol and ethanol. Total RNA (10 g/lane) was size-fractionated by electrophoresis after denaturation with 6% (v/v) deionized glyoxal and 50% (v/v) dimethyl sulfoxide and then transferred to a nylon membrane (Pall BioSupport, East Hills, NY). After cross-linking on the membrane under UV irradiation and boiling in 80 mmol/liter Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) for 5 min, the membrane was prehybridized in prehybridization buffer (5 Prime 3 3 Prime, Inc., Boulder, CO) and 50% formamide at 42 C for 3 h. Hybridization for catalase or -actin transcript was performed in hybridization buffer containing a human catalase cDNA probe or -actin cDNA probe as a standard. All probes were labeled using a multiprime DNA labeling system with [ -32P]dCTP (PerkinElmer Life Sciences). Blots were washed at 37 C in 2 SSC and 0.1% SDS, 45 C in 2 SSC, 0.2 SSC in 0.1% SDS for 30 min each and then analyzed using a Fuji BAS 2000

FIG. 1. Susceptibility of CSF-induced monocyte-derived M s and A-M to exogenously added H2O2. M-M and GM-M (2.5 5 10 /ml/well) were cultured in medium containing M-CSF or GM-CSF, and A-M were cultured in medium without CSF. The indicated concentrations of H2O2 were added and incubated for 48 h. Cell number and viability of M s was assessed using Cetavlon and trypan blue dye as described under Experimental Procedures. Values are expressed as the means of triplicate cultures S.D. bioimage analyzer (Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). Western Blot AnalysisCell lysates were prepared with sample buffer containing 4% SDS, 62.5 mmol/liter Tris-HCl (pH 6.8), 10% glycerol, 100 mmol/liter dithiothreitol and 0.005% bromphenol blue. Cell lysates (25 g protein/lane) were separated by 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and then transferred to an Immobilon P membrane (Millipore Corp., Bedford, MA) using a semidry electroblotting system (Bio CRAFT BE300, BIO CRAFT Corp., Tokyo, Japan). The membrane was blocked with non-fat milk (BlockAce; Dainippon Medical Corp., Osaka, Japan) at 4 C overnight to avoid nonspecific binding and then incubated at 4 C overnight with 1 g/ml of rabbit anti-HEC antibody (Athens Research and Technology, Inc., Athens, GA) or normal rabbit IgG. After four washes in Tris-buffered saline (10 mmol/liter Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 150 mmol/liter NaCl) supplemented with 0.1% Tween 20, the membrane was incubated at room temperature for 1 h with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (Santa Cruz Biotechnology). After four washes with Tris-buffered saline supplemented with 0.1% Tween 20, the specific bands were visualized with Amersham Pharmacia Biotech ECL reagent on Hyper ECL film (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech). Measurement of H2O2 ProductionCellular release of H2O2 was detected by the semiautomated microassay reported by De la Harpe and Nathan (28). In brief, cultured M (5 104 per 100 l in 96-well flat-bottom tissue culture plates) were rinsed with phosphate-buffered saline, 100 l of assay mixture (30 mmol/liter scopoletin (Sigma), 1 mmol/liter NaN3, 1 purpurogallin unit/ml horseradish peroxidase (Sigma) in Krebs-Ringer phosphate buffer (145 mmol/liter NaCl, 4.86 mmol/ liter KCl, 0.54 mmol/liter CaCl2, 1.22 mmol/liter MgSO4, 5.7 mmol/liter sodium phosphate) with 5.5 mmol/liter glucose) was dispensed into the wells. Immediately, after the addition of stimuli (zymosan or heat-killed Staphylococcus aureus), the plate was placed in a fluorometer (Titertek Fluoroskan II; Flow Laboratories Inc., McLean, VA), and fluorescence was recorded for each well (0 60 min) at 37 C. H2O2 release was calculated from the loss of fluorescence, using the following formula: H2O2 released (in nmol) [(E0 W)/(C0 W) (E60 W)/(C60 W)] S, where E0 is the initial fluorescence reading for the well, E60 is the fluorescence reading at 60 min, W is the fluorescence recorded in an empty well, C0 and C60 are the mean fluorescence readings in the cell-free control wells at 0 and 60 min, respectively, and S is the amount of scopoletin, 3 nmol, added to each well at the start of the assay.

Distinct Susceptibility of Monocyte-derived M s and A-M to Exogenously Added H2O2M generated from human monocytes by CSF (M-M and GM-M ) and A-M were cultured in the medium containing the indicated concentrations of H2O2 for 48 h and then cell viability was determined. There was a marked difference in their susceptibility to exogenously added H2O2 (Fig. 1). When M-M were treated with 10 and 1 mmol/liter H2O2, 100 and 75% of the cells died, respectively, whereas almost 100% of the cells were viable in 0.1 mmol/liter H2O2. In contrast, more than 90% of GM-M were viable even

FIG. 2. Activities and protein levels of extracellular catalase in monocyte-derived M s and A-M . M-M , GM-M , and A-M (2.5 105/ml/well) were cultured for 48 h as indicated in the legend for Fig. 1. Enzyme activities of catalase in the culture medium from M-M , GM-M , and A-M (A) are shown. Statistical analysis was performed between samples using Students t test. N.S., not significant. Western blot analysis of catalase protein in the culture medium (25 l/lane) of M s by using anti-HEC antibody (B) is shown.

when treated with 10 mmol/liter H2O2. Thus, GM-M were about 50-fold more resistant to H2O2 than M-M . A-M also showed a strong resistance to H2O2, and the level of resistance was similar to that of GM-M (Fig. 1) Intracellular and Extracellular Catalase Activities and Catalase Gene Expression in Monocyte-derived M s and A-M Because GM-M and A-M were markedly more resistant to H2O2 than M-M , we examined the levels of cell associatedand extracellular catalase activity that catalyze H2O2 to H2O in these M s. Extracellular catalase activity in the culture supernatants obtained from GM-M incubated for 48 h was about 4-fold higher than that from M-M (about 160 and 40 milliunits/ml/well in GM-M and M-M , respectively) (Fig. 2A). Culture supernatants obtained from A-M also contained high extracellular catalase activity (about 160 milliunits/ml/well), and the level was similar to that of GM-M (Fig. 2A). In accordance with the findings of the enzyme activity, protein levels of extracellular catalase in GM-M and A-M cultures were about 4-fold higher than that in M-M cultures by Western blot analysis using anti-HEC antibody (Fig. 2B). Similarly, catalase activity in M-M lysates at 24 h was about 1 units/mg protein, whereas those in GM-M - and A-M -lysates were about 5 units/mg protein. (Fig. 3A). In agreement with the enzyme activity, protein levels of catalase among these M lysates were significantly different; catalase protein levels in GM-M and A-M lysates were higher than that in M-M lysate, and the difference was about 5-fold (Fig. 3B). As the above findings suggest that expression of catalase gene is quite different between M-M and GM-M or A-M , we examined the levels of catalase mRNA among these M s at 24 h after their cultivation by Northern blot analysis. Catalase mRNA in

GM-M was about 5-fold higher than that in M-M , which was similar to that in A-M (Fig. 3C). Oxidant Stress- or Microbial Stimulant-induced Catalase Gene Expression Is High in Both GM-M and A-M but Low in M-M Although there is a significant difference in basal levels of catalase activity between M-M and GM-M or A-M , the findings cannot fully explain their distinct susceptibility to H2O2; the difference in catalase activity was 4 5-fold, whereas the difference in sensitivity to H2O2 was about 50-fold. We therefore examined whether oxidant stress triggers the augmented expression of catalase gene in monocyte-derived M s. When these M s were treated for 3 h with 0.1 mmol/liter H2O2, catalase mRNA in GM-M was augmented up to about 3-fold, whereas that in M-M did not change significantly (Fig. 4A). Next we examined whether zymosan stimulation induces catalase gene activation in these M s. When M s were stimulated for 3 h with 0.1 mg/ml zymosan, catalase mRNA in GM-M , but not in M-M , also increased about 3-fold (Fig. 4A). To confirm that catalase protein was synthesized by induction of the catalase gene via oxidant stress or microbial stim-

ulant, we conducted a Western blot analysis of catalase protein in M lysates (Fig. 4B). The levels of catalase protein in lysates of GM-M stimulated for 24 h with H2O2 or zymosan increased up to about 3-fold, whereas such oxidant-triggered induction of catalase protein was not observed in lysates of M-M (Fig. 4B). Oxidant stress or microbial stimulant-mediated catalase induction in both gene and protein levels was also observed in A-M treated with H2O2 or zymosan, and the induction level was similar to that in GM-M (Fig. 4). These findings indicate that GM-M and A-M have a marked ability to induce catalase expression in both gene and protein levels in response to H2O2 or microbial stimulant, but M-M lacks this ability. M-M Releases a Large Amount of H2O2, but GM-M Inhibits H2O2 Release by Stimulation with Fungal or Bacterial AgentsAs demonstrated above, GM-M and A-M but not M-M express high levels of catalase activity. These findings suggest the possibility that GM-M , but not M-M , has a marked ability to scavenge H2O2. As shown in Fig. 5, when GM-M and A-M were stimulated with 1 mg/ml zymosan for 60 min, M-M and GM-M released 0.8 0.06 nM/ml H2O2 and 0.1 0.02 nM/ml H2O2, respectively. Similar findings were obtained when these M s were stimulated with 1 mg/ml heatkilled S. aureus; M-M released 0.5 0.04 nM/ml H2O2 whereas GM-M released 0.1 0.01 nM/ml H2O2. Both M s did not produce H2O2 without stimuli. These findings suggest that M-M releases a large amount of H2O2, unlike GM-M , through their distinct regulation of catalase activities.
DISCUSSION

We showed in the present study that GM-M and A-M are highly resistant to H2O2 via the high basal level of catalase

activity and a marked ability to express catalase in response to H2O2. About 110 mmol/liter H2O2, similar to levels found on expiration in the adult respiratory distress syndrome (29, 30), did not induce cell death of GM-M and A-M . A strong antioxidant mechanism of human A-M supported by high catalase activity may help them to be long survivors in an oxidant-rich environment and contribute to lung homeostasis. In contrast to GM-M and A-M , M-M are sensitive to exogenous H2O2 up to about 50-fold. In accordance with the susceptibility to H2O2, M-M s express lower levels of basal catalase activity and lack the ability to induce catalase gene expression in response to H2O2. M-M also produced a large amount of H2O2 compared with GM-M in response to microbial stimulants (see Fig. 5 and Ref. 24). These findings suggest the possibility that M induced by M-CSF support oxidantinduced inflammation or H2O2-mediated bactericidal activity. In agreement with the present findings, M-CSF augments anticryptococcal activity of fluconazole in the mouse M mediated by H2O2 production (31, 32). In the present study, GM-M and A-M , but not M-M , have a marked ability to induce catalase gene expression by exposure of low levels of H2O2 and zymosan, which can augment their protection against oxidant-rich environments. Analysis of the 5 -flanking region of the catalase gene in human hepatoma cells and bronchoepithelial cells demonstrated that several transcriptional regulation sites in response to oxidant stress exist in the promoter region (33, 34). These cells, however, express low levels of catalase activity, and hyperoxia fails to augment catalase transcript but induces transactivation of the heat shock protein 70 gene to support their survival (35 37). The present study is the first to report that M s such as A-M and GM-M have a marked ability to induce catalase gene expression in response to oxidant stress. The precise mechanism, however, remains unknown. A marked difference in catalase activity as one of the antioxidant systems between GM-M and M-M contributes to the generation of M heterogeneity during the differentiation of monocytes under the influence of CSF. Previous studies demonstrated that morphology, the expression of cell surface antigens, and resistance to HIV-I infection of GM-M resembled those of human A-M (11, 12, 14, 19 23). In the present study, we also show that catalase activity and H2O2 sensitivity of GM-M also resembled those of human A-M . An important role of GM-CSF in A-M function was also reported in GM-CSF or GM-CSF receptor gene knockout mice (38 42). These findings and those of the present study strongly suggest that GM-

CSF plays a critical role in the development of ROS scavenging ability via catalase activity in human A-M . We demonstrated that GM-M are resistant to H2O2 and a weak producer of H2O2 by bacterial and fungal stimuli via high catalase activity. In contrast, M-M s produce and release a large amount of H2O2 because of their low catalase activity. We previously reported that M-M has a great capacity to produce HIV-IPAR whereas GM-M inhibits HIV-IPAR replication (12). Numerous studies have shown that ROS, including H2O2, trigger HIV-I replication via NF- B transactivation in the HIV-I long terminal repeat promoter region (43, 44). Furthermore, a critical role of H2O2 in NF- B-mediated HIV-I replication was confirmed by reduction of HIV-I replication with the scavengers, including catalase in human monocyte/M lineage cells (45, 46). In some studies, exposure to bacterial products rendered M highly susceptible to T lymphocyte-tropic HIV-I via production of endogenous ROS and proinflammatory cytokines (47). These findings suggest that the difference in catalase activity between M-M and GM-M is a critical factor in the determination of their susceptibility to HIV-I replication. In summary, we present evidence that catalase contributes to protect human tissue M from oxidant-induced cell death and control their respiratory burst, and the activity is regulated at both the protein and mRNA levels by CSF during their differentiation. GM-CSF but not M-CSF plays a critical role in the induction of a strong antioxidant mechanism. The comparison of GM-M and A-M with M-M in response to ROS helps clarify the self-defense mechanism of M against oxidant stress in vivo.
