Activated macrophages secrete an array of proinflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-{alpha} (TNF{alpha}) and interleukin 6 (IL-6), that are temporally secreted for sequential roles in inflammation. We have previously characterized aspects of the intracellular trafficking of membrane-bound TNF{alpha} and its delivery to the cell surface at the site of phagocytic cups for secretion (Murray, R.Z., J.G. Kay, D.G. Sangermani, and J.L. Stow. 2005. Science. 310:1492–1495). The trafficking pathway and surface delivery of IL-6, a soluble cytokine, were studied here using approaches such as live cell imaging of fluorescently tagged IL-6 and immunoelectron microscopy. Newly synthesized IL-6 accumulates in the Golgi complex and exits in tubulovesicular carriers either as the sole labeled cargo or together with TNF{alpha}, utilizing specific soluble NSF attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins to fuse with the recycling endosome. Within recycling endosomes, we demonstrate the compartmentalization of cargo proteins, wherein IL-6 is dynamically segregated from TNF{alpha} and from surface recycling transferrin. Thereafter, these cytokines are independently secreted, with TNF{alpha} delivered to phagocytic cups but not IL-6. Therefore, the recycling endosome has a central role in orchestrating the differential secretion of cytokines during inflammation.

Abbreviations used in this paper: IL-6, interleukin 6; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; M6PR, mannose-6-phosphate receptor; Stx, syntaxin; Tfn, transferrin; TfnR, Tfn receptor; VAMP3, vesicle-associated membrane protein 3.
