Summary We have investigated the pharmacokinetics, tolerance, and biological activity of recombinant human interferon- (rHuIFN) administered subcutaneously to cancer patients. Twenty-one patients with lymphoma and metastatic cancer received rHuIFN (in doses of 0.1, 0.25, or 0.5 mg/m2) in two or three injections per week for up to 180 days. The most common adverse effects encountered were flu-like symptoms, fever and fatigue. The increase in body temperature after each administration ranged from 0 to 4°C depending on the individual patient, but was unrelated to the rHuIFN dose or its plasma concentration. The pharmacokinetic response of the patients after the two treatments showed a low intra-individual variability with respect to the plasma concentration/time profiles. However, as observed for the fever side-effect, the interindividual variation (CV >50%) was high for the parameters area under the data points (AUC0-t
) and maximum plasma concentration (c
max). Despite this high interindividual variability, the mean values obtained for AUC0-t
andc
max after s.c. injection of rHuIFN were approximately proportional to the dose administered: the injection of 0.1, 0.25 or 0.5 mg/m2 rHuIFN resulted in AUC0-t
values of 15.4, 31.5 or 69.6 ng h/ml, respectively andc
max was found to be 1.0, 2.4 and 4.9 ng/ml, respectively. With this s.c. administration protocol, objective antitumour responses were observed in two patients, but there was no partial or complete remission. 相似文献

Introduction
Interleukin (IL)-17 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). Since interferon (IFN)-γ inhibits Th17 cell development, IFN-γ receptor knockout (IFN-γR KO) mice develop CIA more readily. We took advantage of this model to analyse the mechanisms of action of IL-17 in arthritis. The role of IFN-γ on the effector mechanisms of IL-17 in an in vitro system was also investigated. 相似文献4.
Background
PPARγ plays a key role in adipocyte biology, and Rosiglitazone (Rosi), a thiazolidinedione (TZD)/PPARγ agonist, is a potent insulin-sensitizing agent. Recent evidences demonstrate that adipose tissue inflammation links obesity with insulin resistance and that the insulin-sensitizing effects of TZDs result, in part, from their anti-inflammatory properties. However the underlying mechanisms are unclear.Methodology and Principal Findings
In this study, we establish a link between free fatty acids (FFAs) and PPARγ in the context of obesity-associated inflammation. We show that treatment of adipocytes with FFAs, in particular Arachidonic Acid (ARA), downregulates PPARγ protein and mRNA levels. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the downregulation of PPARγ by ARA requires the activation the of Endoplamsic Reticulum (ER) stress by the TLR4 pathway. Knockdown of adipocyte PPARγ resulted in upregulation of MCP1 gene expression and secretion, leading to enhanced macrophage chemotaxis. Rosi inhibited these effects. In a high fat feeding mouse model, we show that Rosi treatment decreases recruitment of proinflammatory macrophages to epididymal fat. This correlates with decreased chemokine and decreased chemokine receptor expression in adipocytes and macrophages, respectively.Conclusions and Significance
In summary, we describe a novel link between FAs, the TLR4/ER stress pathway and PPARγ, and adipocyte-driven recruitment of macrophages. We thus both describe an additional potential mechanism for the anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing actions of TZDs and an additional detrimental property associated with the activation of the TLR4 pathway by FA. 相似文献5.

The modulation of cisPlatin cytotoxicity by interleukin-1 (IL-1α) was studied in cultures of SCC-7 tumor cells with and without
tumor macrophages to examine potential mechanisms for the synergistic antitumor activity of cisPlatin and IL-1α in SCC-7 solid
tumors. Neither IL-1α nor tumor macrophages affected the survival of clonogenic tumor cells and IL-1α had no direct effect
on tumor cell growthin vitro. Macrophages had no direct effect on cisPlatin sensitivity (IC90=6.0 μM), but, the addition of IL-1α (500–2000U/ml) to co-cultures of cisPlatin pretreated tumor cells and resident tumor
macrophages increased cell killing (IC90=3.1 μM). Similar responses were seen in primary cultures treated with cisPlatin before IL-1α. The modulation of cisPlatin
cytotoxicity by IL-1α exhibited a biphasic dose response that paralleled the IL-1α dose dependent release of H2O2by resident tumor macrophages. Further, IL-1α modification of cisPlatin cytotoxicity was prompt and inhibited by catalase.
CisPlatin and exogenous H2O2 (50 μM) produced more than additive SCC-7 clonogenic cell kill and hydroxyl radicals played an important role in the response.
Interleukin-1 modulation of cisPlatin cytotoxicity was schedule dependent. IL-1α treatment for 24 hrs, before cisPlatin, produced
drug resistance (IC90=11.1 μM). Our study shows that IL-1α can stimulate tumor macrophages to release pro-oxidants that modify cellular chemosensitivity
in a schedule and dose dependent fashion. Our findings may also provide a mechanistic explanation for the synergistic antitumor
activity of cisPlatin and IL-1αin vivo. 相似文献

Rac is a protein involved in the various functions of macrophages (Mφ), including the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), phagocytosis, chemotaxis and the secretion of cytokines (such as γ-INF). This study tested the effects of nucleosides containing 8-oxoguanine(8-hydroxyguanine) such as 8-oxo-2′-guanosine (8-oxoG) or 8-oxo-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), on Rac and the above-listed Rac-associated functions of Mφ using mouse peritoneal Mφ (MpMφ). It is reported that 8-oxodG was able to effectively inhibit Rac and the Rac-associated functions of MpMφ. Compared to 8-oxodG, 8-oxoG showed negligible effects. Furthermore, normal nucleosides such as deoxyguanosine (dG), guanosine (G) and adenosine (A) did not exert any effects. These results suggest that 8-oxodG could be used as a potential tool to modulate the functions of Mφ that are intimately related to various pathological processes. 相似文献

The interaction of lipopolysaccharide-primed murine peritoneal macrophages with ivermectin, an antiparasite drug which potentiates P2X(4) receptors and dynasore which inhibits the GTPase activity of dynamin, a protein contributing to the internalization of plasma membrane proteins, was tested. Murine peritoneal macrophages express P2X(4) receptors which are mostly intracellular. In cells from P2X(7)-knockout mice (KO mice), 10 μm adenosine triphosphate (ATP) provoked a transient increase of the intracellular concentration of calcium. Ivermectin had no effect by itself but potentiated the increase of the intracellular concentration of calcium by ATP. The combination of ATP plus ivermectin also decreased the intracellular concentration of potassium and promoted the secretion of IL-1β. Concentrations of dynasore above 50?μm affected the integrity of mitochondria (MTT test) and of the plasma membrane (release of lactate dehydrogenase, LDH). At a 10 μm concentration, dynasore had no effect on the responses to ATP and on the internalization of P2X(4) receptors. By itself dynasore promoted the release of potassium and the secretion of IL-1β after activation of caspase-1. In conclusion, our results confirm that ivermectin potentiates the responses coupled to P2X(4) receptors probably by interaction with an allosteric site. We also show that this potentiation triggers the release of IL-1β by macrophages. As opposed to ivermectin, dynasore has no effect on P2X(4) receptors. This drug triggers a potassium efflux via a mechanism which does not involve purinergic receptors and generates, in consequence, the activation of caspase-1 and the secretion of IL-1β. 相似文献

We investigated the influence of the combined use of sizofiran, a-1,3-glucan and a recombinant interferon- (rIFN-) upon biological activities of peritoneal macrophages (M). The number of peritoneal M and the production of cytokines (interleukin-1, interferon- and tumor necrosis factor) was increased by the combined treatment. Fully activated peritoneal M based on the increased number of elongated pseudopods were observed by electromicroscope. Sizofiran seems to assure a sufficient supply of M to kill tumor cells in the peritoneal cavity and co-administered rIFN- seems to directly stimulate the accumulated M in addition to its direct cytotoxicity against tumor cells. This combination therapy may be a step to the prevention of the recurrence of gynecological malignancies including ovarian cancer, after a negative second-look laparotomy.Abbreviations rIFN-

Summary The natural-killer(NK)-cell-mediated cytotoxicity to syngeneic tumor cells can be augmented by in vivo priming and subsequent in vitro challenge with the streptococcal preparation OK432. Supernatants of cocultures of spleen cells with OK432 contained interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interferon (IFN), mainly IFN-. As the anti-(mouse IFN-) monoclonal antibody but not anti-(mouse IFN-) antibody inhibited the induction of activated NK cells with OK432, the IFN- participated in this response. The enhancement of NK cell activity and production of IL-2 were partially inhibited by the pretreatment of spleen cells with mitomycin C or irradiation, and were completely abolished by pretreatment with actinomycin D. The IL-2 activity after treatment with various metabolic inhibitors ran parallel to the NK activity in a system augmented with OK432. The activity of incubated spleen cells with IL-2 receptors was increased by OK432 treatment, and the NK cell and IFN activities of supernatants were also abrogated by the treatment with anti-(mouse IL-2 receptor) monoclonal antibody, to block the interaction between IL-2 and these receptors of effector cells. The panning method clarified that the incubated spleen cells with IL-2 receptors are responsible for the production of IFN-. These results suggest that IL-2 plays a major role in inducing the activated NK cells from murine spleen cells primed in vivo and subsequently challenged in vitro with OK432, by the production of IFN-. 相似文献

The relationship between growth and interferon- (IFN-) production in the recombinant cell line CHO 320 was studied by varying the foetal calf serum (FCS) concentration. The specific growth rate varied with the initial FCS concentration in a manner which could be well fitted by the Monod model. TheK
s and
max
values were found to be 0.771% (v/v) serum and 0.031 h–1 respectively. The average specific IFN- production rates during the exponential phase increased with increasing FCS concentration. A good correlation between specific production rate and specific growth rate was found in all phases of the culture except the lag phase and it was clearly demonstrated that IFN- production was growth associated. Specific glucose and glutamine utilisation rates were inversely related to specific growth rates. 相似文献

Summary Human blood monocytes were isolated by counter-flow centrifugal elutriation from healthy donors and these noncytotoxic monocytes were rendered tumoricidal to allogeneic melanoma (A375) cells by activation with a synthetic acyltripeptide (FK-565), as assessed by measuring release of [125I]iododeoxyuridine in 72 h. When monocytes were treated with FK-565 for 16 h, and then fixed with paraformaldehyde, they showed cytotoxicity to A375 melanoma cells. The fixed-monocyte-mediated cytotoxicity to A375 cells was induced by the synergistic actions of FK-565 and recombinant interferon- (rIFN-), but not other cytokines [rIFN-A, rIFN-, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin (IL)-2, -3 and -6]. For synergistic activation of monocytes with induction of a membrane-associated antitumor monokine, the monocytes had to be incubated first with rIFN- and then with FK-565. FK-565 also acted synergistically with rIFN- to stimulate monocytes to produce membrane-associated IL-1 activity, which induced C3H/HeJ thymocyte blastogenesis in response to phytohemagglutinin P. The tumoricidal and thymocytestimulating activities of the fixed monocytes were almost completely inhibited by a specific anti-(IL-1) antiserum, but not by a specific anti-(IL-1) antiserum or monoclonal anti-TNF antibody. These results suggest that membrane-associated IL-1 of human blood monocytes can be induced by two activation signals (rIFN- then FK-565) at their suboptimal concentrations.Abbreviations IL

Four patients with ovarian cancer received 20 mg of sizofiran, a -1,3-glucan (molecular weight: 450,000), intramuscularly one day before and 4, 7, 11, 14, 18 and 21 days after second look laparotomy and recombinant interferon- (rIFN-) intraperitoneally on the day of second look laparotomy and 4, 7, 11, 14, 18 and 21 days thereafter.The peritoneal cavity was washed with physiological saline and peritoneal macrophages (Mø) were isolated. The number of Mø increased 30-1600 times during the treatment period. The concentrations of interleukin-1, interferon-, tumor necrosis factor and prostaglandin E2 were also found increased in the supernatant fluid of Mø cultured for 24 hours with 10 µg/ml of lipopolysaccharide. The present study demonstrated that the activation of peritoneal Mø could be maintained and its number was increased by repeated dosing of sizofiran and rIFN- in combination every three or four days in patients with ovarian cancer. Peritoneal Mø thus activated may exert an antitumor effect on ovarian cancer. 相似文献

We detected the expression of IL-12 p40/p35 mRNA by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and silver staining, and studied the molecular
interaction between the IL-12 expression and the NF-eB activation induced by LPS and IFN-γ/LPS in murine peritoneal suppressor
macrophages (MPSMs). It was found that IFN-γ strongly enhanced the LPS-induced IL-12 p40 and p35 mRNA expression. Both p40
and p35 mRNA levels were approximately equal. IFN-a also greatly promoted the LPS-induced secretion of IL-12 p70 in MPSMs.
The Proteasome Inhibitor I (PSI) could block the expression of IL-12 p40 and p35 mRNA, and the degradation of IκBα induced
by LPS or LPS/IFN-γ. EMSA showed that LPS could augment the NF-κB binding activity to p40 promoter DNA. However, IFN-γ could
neither enhance the LPS-induced NF-κB activity nor promote the degradation of IκBα. Taken together, the data suggest: (i)
IFN-γ/LPS could strongly induce the expression of IL-12 p40 and p35 mRNA; both the expression levels were equal; this phenomenon
coincided with the high-level secretion of IL-12 p70 induced by IFN-γ/LPS; (ii) NF-κB signal pathway is essential for IFN-γ/LPS
to induce IL-12 mRNA expression; (iii) by blocking the degradation of IκB, the PSI suppresses the IL-12 p40/p35 mRNA expression
induced by LPS and IFN-γ/LPS; (iv) NF-κB signal may not be involved in the mechanism by which IFN-γ enhanced the expression
of the LPS-induced IL-12 p40/p35 mRNA.

Huntington's disease (HD) is associated with expansion of polyglutamine tract in a protein named huntingtin (htt) that is expressed in virtually all body tissues. Thus mutated htt (HD-htt) might affect all organs, although clinical manifestations of HD are associated with selective loss of corticostriatal neurons of the brain. In this work we studied how HD-htt affects mitochondria in human peripheral blood cells. We compared various functions of mitochondria isolated from cultured lymphoblastoid cells derived from three HD patients with juvenile onset of the disease (HD-LBM) and three age-matched control (C-LBM) individuals. Respiratory parameters in different metabolic states, with succinate and glutamate plus malate were the same for all control and HD cell lines. State 4 membrane potential in HD-LBM was slightly lower than in C-LBM. The calcium retention capacity (CRC) of mitochondria was estimated using simultaneously several methods to register permeability transition (PT). We found that LBM do not undergo swelling upon Ca2+-induced PT, and do not increase CRC in the presence of ADP + oligomycin. Although each cell line had different CRC values, qualitatively PT was different in C-LBM and HD-LBM. With C-LBM cyclosporin A (CsA) increased CRC significantly, while with HD-LBM CsA was ineffective. In C-LBM depolarization of mitochondria and a large pore opening (PT) always occurred simultaneously. In HD-LBM depolarization occurred at 20-50% lower Ca2+ loads than PT. We suggest that HD-htt promotes low H+ conductance of the mitochondria by interacting with proteins at the contacts sites without directly promoting PT or hampering mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. 相似文献

Phagocytosis is a crucial event in the immune system that allows cells to engulf and eliminate pathogens. This is mediated through the action of immunoglobulin (IgG)-opsonized microbes acting on Fcγ receptors (FcγR) on macrophages, which results in sustained levels of intracellular Ca(2+) through the mobilization of Ca(2+) second messengers. It is known that the ADP-ribosyl cyclase is responsible for the rise in Ca(2+) levels after FcγR activation. However, it is unclear whether and how CD38 is involved in FcγR-mediated phagocytosis. Here we show that CD38 is recruited to the forming phagosomes during phagocytosis of IgG-opsonized particles and produces cyclic-ADP-ribose, which acts on ER Ca(2+) stores, thus allowing an increase in FcγR activation-mediated phagocytosis. Ca(2+) data show that pretreatment of J774A.1 macrophages with 8-bromo-cADPR, ryanodine, blebbistatin, and various store-operated Ca(2+) inhibitors prevented the long-lasting Ca(2+) signal, which significantly reduced the number of ingested opsonized particles. Ex vivo data with macrophages extracted from CD38(-/-) mice also shows a reduced Ca(2+) signaling and phagocytic index. Furthermore, a significantly reduced phagocytic index of Mycobacterium bovis BCG was shown in macrophages from CD38(-/-) mice in vivo. This study suggests a crucial role of CD38 in FcγR-mediated phagocytosis through its recruitment to the phagosome and mobilization of cADPR-induced intracellular Ca(2+) and store-operated extracellular Ca(2+) influx. 相似文献
