The destruction of joints caused by rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis is characterized by an imbalance of enzyme catalysed cartilage breakdown and regeneration. A complex cytokine network perpetuates joint conditions by direct regulation of metalloproteases, by indirect recruitment of cells that secrete degradative enzymes, and by inhibition of reparative processes. The destructive action of cytokines such as interleukin-1, interleukin-6 and tumour necrosis factor-alpha can be modulated at multiple points associated either with cytokine production or with cytokine action. Potential agents for cytokine reduction include selective anti-cytokine antibodies, anticytokine receptor antibodies, cytokine receptor antagonist proteins, and soluble and chimeric cytokine receptor molecules. Pharmacologic regulation of IL-1 and TNFalpha remain primary targets for treatment of arthritis, and results of early clinical trials are promising. However, the results of long-term clinical trials will be required to support the value of anti-cytokine therapy in treatment of arthritis. 相似文献

We have utilized several B-cell lymphomas that are growth inhibited by anti-Ig reagents as models for tolerance induction. In a previous communication, we demonstrated that the growth inhibition by anti-Ig can be partially prevented by the recombinant lymphokine, IL-4. In this paper, we report that complete protection of B lymphomas from anti-Ig was provided by a type 2 helper cell clone, D10.G4, when these T cells were activated by monoclonal anti-CD3. Conditioned medium from anti-CD3-stimulated D10.G4 cells also provided protection from anti-Ig. In contrast, little protection was observed with activated cells from a type 1 T-cell clone, A.E7. Furthermore, we show that combinations of IL-4 and tumor necrosis factors (both TNF alpha and TNF beta), as well as IL-4, effected partial protection by themselves and enhanced the activity of the other lymphokine if used in a pretreatment protocol. However, anti-cytokine antibodies were ineffective at reversing the T-cell-mediated protection. The possibility that direct T:B-cell contact mediates part of the protective signal is discussed. 相似文献

Signal transduction through the interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) pathway mediates a strong pro-inflammatory response, which contributes to a number of human diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Within the IL-1 family, IL-1α and IL-1β are both agonistic ligands for IL-1R, whereas IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) is an endogenous antagonist that binds to IL-R, but does not signal. Therefore, the ideal therapeutic strategy would be blocking both IL-1α and IL-1β, but not IL-1ra. However, due to low sequence homology between the three members of the family, it has been exceedingly difficult to identify potent therapeutic agents, e.g., monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), that selectively recognize both IL-1α and IL-1β, but not IL-1ra. Currently, several anti-IL-1 therapeutic agents in clinical development either inhibit only IL-1β (i.e. anti-IL-1β mAb), or recognize all three ligands (i.e. anti-IL-1R mAb or IL-1R Trap). We have recently developed a novel dual variable domain immunoglobulin (or DVD-IgTM) technology that enables engineering the distinct specificities of two mAbs into a single functional, dual-specific, tetravalent IgG-like molecule. Based on this approach, we have developed anti-human IL-1α/b DVD-IgTM molecules using several pairs of monoclonal antibodies with therapeutic potential, and present a case study for optimal design of a DVD-IgTM agent for a specific target pair combination. 相似文献

Presented is a comprehensive program designed to isolate human cytokine genes and investigate their relative induction, and to analyze cytokine activities in cell culture, animal tumor models, and human clinical trials. Human cytokine cDNAs have been isolated from a cDNA library made from normal human peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs) treated with Sendai virus and the relative induction of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), alpha and gamma interferons (IFN-alpha, IFN-gamma), and interleukin-1 beta IL-1 beta) genes has been analyzed. In the Sendai virus-induced PBL system, IL-1 beta mRNA was shown to be approximately twofold higher than TNF or IFN-alpha mRNA whereas IFN-gamma mRNA was 50-100-fold lower than TNF or IFN-alpha mRNA. The cytotoxic activity of TNF was analyzed on several cell lines and IFN-alpha and IFN-gamma were shown to potentiate TNF cytotoxicity about 2-200-fold depending on cell lines. The LD50 for recombinant TNF in BALB/c mice was determined to be 6 X 10(7) U/kg and the therapeutic dose of recombinant TNF in sarcoma 180 bearing BALB/c mice was 3 X 10(5) U/kg, indicating a wide therapetic index. Phase I clinical trials of recombinant TNF given I.V. indicated a tolerated dose of 150,000 U/kg with biphasic half-life (T-1/2) of 2 and 31 min following TNF injection. Phase II trials of TNF and trials of TNF combined with IFN-alpha are in progress. These studies indicate that cytokines such as TNF and IFN-alpha are subject to similar induction systems, potentiate each other's activities, and can be tolerated at specific doses for potential therapeutic use. 相似文献

In myasthenia gravis (MG), TNF and IL-1beta polymorphisms and high serum levels of these proinflammatory cytokines have been observed. Likewise, TNF and IL-1beta are critical for the activation of acetylcholine receptor (AChR)-specific T and B cells and for the development of experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG) induced by AChR immunization. We tested the therapeutic effect of human recombinant IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) in C57BL/6 mice with EAMG. Multiple daily injections of 0.01 mg of IL-1ra administered for 2 wk following two AChR immunizations decreased the incidence and severity of clinical EAMG. Furthermore, IL-1ra treatment of mice with ongoing clinical EAMG reduced the clinical symptoms of disease. The IL-1ra-mediated suppression of clinical disease was associated with suppressed serum IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-2, IL-6, C3, and anti-AChR IgG1 without influencing total serum IgG. Therefore, IL-1ra could be used as a nonsteroidal drug for the treatment of MG. 相似文献

A novel pre-formed pyrogenic factor (PFPF), released by LPS-stimulated macrophages, has been identified, that induces an indomethacin-resistant fever. Its activity has to date not been found to match that of any described cytokine. In this study we observed that PFPF induced the release of large amounts of IL-6 from rat peritoneal macrophages. A combination of anti-cytokine antibodies and heat treatment excluded IL-1, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as being responsible for this effect. PFPF also induced interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6 and TNF-alpha in a subcutaneous air pouch, as well as increasing plasma IL-6, and induced a fever of 0.58 +/- 0.07 degrees C (3 hours) that was not reduced by indomethacin (2 mg/kg, ip). Preparative isoelectric focusing (IEF) showed that the material responsible for inducing IL-6 release had a pI between 4.7 and 5.8 and corresponded to the IEF pool that induced fever when injected intracerebroventricularly. 相似文献

Cytokines are pivotal to a balanced innate or cell-mediated immune response, can be indicative of disease progression and/or resolution, and are being evaluated as therapeutics. There is a need to purify and/or to measure key cytokines rapidly with accuracy, precision, and sensitivity. The current assay technologies, which are based on RT-PCR, immunoassays, or bioassays, are limited in their use in the clinic, in particular because of the long time (1-3 h) required to carry out the assays. An alternative approach explored here is the use of pathogen-encoded cytokine-binding proteins, which have Kd in the nanomolar range. It is anticipated that pathogens have evolved binding proteins, antagonists, and/or specific neutralizing phenotypes directed against key signaling and effector molecules involved in the multifaceted host defense system. Thus, by screening the genomes of a wide range of microbial agents, we would expect to find coding sequences for binding proteins for the most important cytokines. Consistent with this view is the identification of poxvirus genes encoding binding activities for TNF type I and type II interferons, interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-18, and beta-chemokines. These high-affinity receptors have the potential to act as surrogate antibodies in a number of applications in cytokine quantification and purification and could be potentially useful reagents to complement the existing panel of anti-cytokine, monoclonal, polyclonal, or engineered antibodies that are currently available. 相似文献

Endothelial cell (EC) lifespan controlled by the IL-1 family of cytokines is an important determinant of susceptibility to artery wall disease. Here we show that EC lacking intracellular interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) have a reduced lifespan compared to controls. Over expression of IL-1ra enhanced proliferation via cyclin dependent kinase 2 activity and retinoblastoma protein phosphorylation. This was not seen in EC lacking IL-1 receptor 1 (IL-1 signalling ability), nor apparent using other stimuli e.g. TNF alpha. These data suggest that IL-1ra has a specific and receptor-dependent function to control the growth and lifespan of EC. 相似文献

Interleukin 12 (IL-12) and IL-18 act synergistically to stimulate interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) production; moreover, IL-1 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) may also augment IFN-gamma synthesis. We have investigated the relative contributions of these cytokines in the production of IFN-gamma and TNF by the Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus epidermidis, using the specific cytokine inhibitors IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP), IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), anti-IL-12 antibodies (anti-IL-12 Ab), and TNF binding protein. Inhibition of caspase-1 reduced IFN-gamma and IL-1beta levels (by 80 and 67%, respectively) when heat-killed S. epidermidis was added to whole human blood cultures. IL-18BP reduced S. epidermidis-induced IFN-gamma (77% maximal suppression). In contrast, blocking IL-1 receptors by IL-1Ra had no effect on IFN-gamma production. Blocking endogenous IL-12 and TNF reduced IFN-gamma production by 69 and 36%. S. epidermidis-induced TNF-alpha was inhibited by IL-18BP and IL-1Ra, but not anti-IL-12 Ab, whereas IL-8 production was unaffected by any of the specific cytokine blocking agents. In conclusion, S. epidermidis stimulates IFN-gamma which is IL-18, IL-12 and TNF-dependent, but IL-1 independent. 相似文献

Previous studies have described an IL-1 Inhibitor produced by a myelomonocytic line developed in our laboratory (Eur J Immunol 1986; 16: 1449). This IL-1 Inhibitor was secreted by the M20 line constitutively in addition to IL-1, from which it could be separated. We have recently shown that the M20 IL-1 Inhibitor is distinct from the IL-1ra.In vitro this factor inhibited IL-1 induced proliferative responses as well as PGE2 secretion by IL-1 induced fibroblasts. We also showed for the first time (Lymphokine Research 1988; 7(3): 268) that an IL-1 inhibitor can reduce IL-1 induced inflammatory effects. This study describes the specific effect of the M20 IL-1 Inhibitor on IL-1 induced parameters of inflammation: fever, leukocytosis and local foot pad swelling or lymph node enlargement. Purified preparations of the IL-1 Inhibitor, when injected together with IL-1, or before the IL-1, reduced fever, leukocytosis, foot pad swelling and lymph node enlargement caused by IL-1. Similar responses were obtained by injection of IL-6 or TNF, but were unaffected by the IL-1 Inhibitor, when injected together.These results indicate that the M20 IL-1 Inhibitor acts specifically on IL-1 induced responsesin vivo. The potential importance of this factor as an anti-inflammatory and immune regulatory factor, is supported by the findings of this study.Abbreviations IL-1

Besides the classical major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and MHC class II molecules, human CD1 molecules have been shown to present mycobacterial antigens in vitro. In this study, in vivo treatment of mice with anti-CD1 monoclonal antibodies resulted in exacerbated tuberculosis at very early time points. In CD1-modulated mice, Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific production of the type 1 cytokines, IL-12, TNF, and IFN-gamma as well as of TGF beta was reduced. These findings suggest an antigen-presenting role of CD1 molecules in tuberculosis. 相似文献

IL-2-stimulated human lymphocytes, referred to as lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells, can develop a broad range of lytic activity against fresh tumor cells and cultured tumor cell lines. IL-1, a pleiotropic cytokine shown to synergize with IL-2 on LAK induction, is endogenously synthesized and secreted by LAK cells. Immunoblot analysis demonstrated that IL-2-stimulated PBL produced the 31- to 34-kDa pro-molecules of IL-1 within 24 h and maintained their expression for at least 96 h. The role of secreted IL-1 has been examined using rIL-1R antagonist (IL-1ra). The addition of IL-1ra to LAK activation culture resulted in dose-dependent inhibited lytic activity, which was more apparent in LAK cells cultured with higher doses of IL-2. However, IL-1ra had no effect on proliferative responses elicited in LAK cells by IL-2. Moreover, when IL-1 binding was blocked by IL-1ra, the expression of the IL-2R p55 subunit was reduced compared with control LAK cells. The effect of IL-1 binding blockade on expression of other cytokine mRNA was further examined by polymerase chain reaction analysis, and, specifically, inhibition of both TNF-alpha and TNF-beta mRNA expression by IL-1ra was observed in PBL stimulated with IL-2. The reduced biologic activity of TNF in culture supernatants correlated well with the inhibition of mRNA expression. These findings suggest that autocrine/paracrine IL-1 is involved in the initial generation of LAK activity and, in particular, that TNF expression could be induced via an IL-1 autocrine pathway. 相似文献

A variety of targets for therapeutic intervention are based upon advances in understanding of the immunopathogenesis of Crohn's disease. Crohn's disease is initiated by an innate immune response, which eventuates in a T-cell driven process, characterized by a T-helper cell 1 type cytokine profile. Several new treatments now focus on suppressing T-cell differentiation or T-cell inflammation. Since inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) represents a state of dysregulated inflammation, drugs that augment the anti-inflammatory response have the potential to downregulate inflammation and thereby hopefully modify the disease. Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) is a major target of research and clinical investigation. TNF has proinflammatory effects in the intestinal mucosa and is a pivotal cytokine in the inflammatory cascade. Certolizumab pegol (CDP870) is a PEGylated, Fab' fragment of a humanized anti-TNF-alpha monoclonal antibody. PEGylation increases the half-life, reduces the requirement for frequent dosing, and possibly reduces antigenicity as well. Certolizumab has been shown in Phase III trials to achieve and maintain clinical response and remission in Crohn's disease patients. It improves the quality of life. Certolizumab pegol will be indicated for moderately to severely active Crohn's disease, but it is not yet licensed in Europe or the US. It is not possible to construct an algorithm for treatment, but when compared with infliximab the two principal advantages are likely to be lower immunogenicity (as shown by anti-drug antibodies, absence of infusion reactions, and low rate of antinuclear antibodies), and a subcutaneous route of administration. These two factors may be sufficient to promote it up the pecking order of anti-TNF agents. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Cytokines and cytokine antagonists modulate human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication in vitro and may be involved in HIV disease pathogenesis. An understanding of these cytokine networks may suggest novel treatment strategies for HIV-seropositive persons. MATERIALS AND METHODS: U1 cells, a chronically infected promonocytic cell line, were stimulated with interleukin 1 alpha (IL-1 alpha), IL-1 beta or tumor necrosis factor (TNF) for 24 hr. The effects of these cytokines, and of anti-IL-1 receptor type 1 and type 2 (IL-1RI and II) antibody, IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), and recombinant human TNF binding protein type 1 (rhTBP-1, a form of TNF receptor p55), on HIV-1 replication, as measured by ELISA for HIV-1 p24 antigen, were determined. The effects of IL-1 and IL-1Ra on nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) DNA binding activity, as measured by electrophoretic mobility shift assays, were also determined. RESULTS: IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta increased p24 antigen production in a concentration-dependent manner. IL-1Ra completely, and rhTBP-1 partially, suppressed IL-1-induced p24 antigen production. IL-1 increased NF-kappa B DNA binding activity and IL-1Ra blocked this effect. Since IL-1Ra blocks IL-1 from binding to both the IL-1RI and Il-1RII, monoclonal antibodies directed against each receptor were used to ascertain which IL-1R mediates IL-1-induced HIV-1 expression. Antibody to the IL-1RI reduced IL-1-induced p24 antigen production. Although anti-IL-1RII antibody blocked the binding of 125IL-1-1 alpha to U1 cells by 99%, this antibody did not affect IL-1-induced p24 antigen production. IL-1 beta enhanced TNF alpha-induced HIV expression when added before or simultaneously with TNF alpha. CONCLUSIONS: IL-1 induces HIV-1 expression (via the IL-1RI) and NF-kappa B activity in U1 cells. These effects are blocked by IL-1Ra and partially mediated by TNF. IL-1 enhances TNF alpha-induced HIV replication in U1 cells. 相似文献

The cytokines IL-1 and TNF-alpha are involved in inflammation and their production is stimulated by various agents, especially endotoxin (LPS). Here, using the human IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA) and a new monoclonal antibody (mAb 7F11) to rabbit TNF, the role of endogenous IL-l and TNF production in acute (3h) leukocyte (PMNL) recruitment to dermal inflammation in rabbits has been studied. IL-1RA inhibited by 27% the PMNL accumulation in reactions induced by killed Escherichia coli (p < 0.05) but not by LPS. The monoclonal antibody to TNF inhibited by 27% and 38% (p < 0.002) the PMNL accumulation in LPS and E. coli reactions respectively, but a combination of the mAb with IL-1RA was not more effective. Treatment of human umbilical vein endothelium with LPS for 3 h activated endothelium to induce PMNL transendothelial migration in vitro, which was not inhibited by IL-1RA, antibody to TNF-alpha, IL-1 or to IL-8. In conclusion, TNF and IL-1 may partially mediate acute PMNL infiltration in vivo to LPS and Gram negative bacteria, but there is a major IL-1/TNF independent mechanism, at least in dermal inflammation, which may be due to direct LPS activation of the microvasculature or perhaps the generation of cytokines other than IL-1 and TNF. 相似文献

Using a murine model of sepsis, we found that the balance of tissue pro- to anti-inflammatory cytokines directly correlated with severity of infection and mortality. Sepsis was induced in C57BL/6 mice by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Liver tissue was analyzed for levels of IL-1beta, IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and soluble TNF receptor 1 by ELISA. Bacterial DNA was measured using quantitative real-time PCR. After CLP, early predominance of proinflammatory cytokines (6 h) transitioned to anti-inflammatory predominance at 24 h. The elevated anti-inflammatory cytokines were mirrored by increased tissue bacterial levels. The degree of anti-inflammatory response compared with proinflammatory response correlated with the bacterial concentration. To modulate the timing of the anti-inflammatory response, mice were treated with IL-1ra before CLP. This resulted in decreased proinflammatory cytokines, earlier bacterial load, and increased mortality. These studies show that the initial tissue proinflammatory response to sepsis is followed by an anti-inflammatory response. The anti-inflammatory phase is associated with increased bacterial load and mortality. These data suggest that it is the timing and magnitude of the anti-inflammatory response that predicts severity of infection in a murine model of sepsis. 相似文献

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a proinflammatory cytokine implicated in pathogenesis of multiple autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Anti-TNF therapy has revolutionized the therapeutic paradigms of autoimmune diseases and became one of the most successful examples of the clinical use of monoclonal antibodies. Currently, anti-TNF therapy is used by millions of patients worldwide. At the moment, fully human anti-TNF antibody Adalimumab is the best-selling anti-cytokine drug in the world. Here, we present a story about a highly potent anti-TNF monoclonal antibody initially characterized more than 20 years ago and further developed into chimeric and humanized versions. We present comparative analysis of this antibody with Infliximab and Adalimumab. 相似文献
