Elevated levels of glucose and free fatty acids as well as changes in the cytokine production are common features of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Especially regarding type 1 diabetes, immunological factors are believed to be responsible for much of the disease pathology. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the diabetic environment in itself could affect cytokine production. Spleen cells from normal mice were cultured for 96 h with addition of different concentrations of glucose (2.8, 5.6, 11.1, 28 mM) or the free fatty acid palmitate (50-100 microM). Cytokine supernatant secretions and mRNA expressions were determined. The cytokine production was highest in cells cultured at 11.1mM glucose. TNFalpha and IFNgamma secretion was decreased by high glucose. Palmitate and/or the ethanol used to dissolve it had a suppressive effect on the secretion of all the investigated cytokines. This effect was counteracted by an elevated glucose concentration for TNFalpha and IFNgamma, but not IL-10. In conclusion, our data suggest that metabolic aberrations characterizing a diabetic environment can have a direct impact on cytokine production by immune cells. 相似文献

Although interleukin (IL)-7 is mostly known as a key regulator of lymphocyte homeostasis, we recently demonstrated that it also contributes to body weight regulation through a hypothalamic control. Previous studies have shown that IL-7 is produced by the human obese white adipose tissue (WAT) yet its potential role on WAT development and function in obesity remains unknown. Here, we first show that transgenic mice overexpressing IL-7 have reduced adipose tissue mass associated with glucose and insulin resistance. Moreover, in the high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity model, a single administration of IL-7 to C57BL/6 mice is sufficient to prevent HFD-induced WAT mass increase and glucose intolerance. This metabolic protective effect is accompanied by a significant decreased inflammation in WAT. In lymphocyte-deficient HFD-fed SCID mice, IL-7 injection still protects from WAT mass gain. However, IL-7-triggered resistance against WAT inflammation and glucose intolerance is lost in SCID mice. These results suggest that IL-7 regulates adipose tissue mass through a lymphocyte-independent mechanism while its protective role on glucose homeostasis would be relayed by immune cells that participate to WAT inflammation. Our observations establish a key role for IL-7 in the complex mechanisms by which immune mediators modulate metabolic functions. 相似文献

Physical exercise reportedly stimulates IL-1 production within working skeletal muscles, but its physiological significance remains unknown due to the existence of two distinct IL-1 isoforms, IL-1α and IL-1β. The regulatory complexities of these two isoforms, in terms of which cells in muscles produce them and their distinct/redundant biological actions, have yet to be elucidated. Taking advantage of our masticatory behavior (Restrained/Gnawing) model, we herein show that IL-1α/1β-double-knockout (IL-1-KO) mice exhibit compromised masseter muscle (MM) activity which is at least partially attributable to abnormalities of glucose handling (rapid glycogen depletion along with impaired glucose uptake) and dysfunction of IL-6 upregulation in working MMs. In wild-type mice, masticatory behavior clearly increased IL-1β mRNA expression but no incremental protein abundance was detectable in whole MM homogenates, whereas immunohistochemical staining analysis revealed that both IL-1α- and IL-1β-immunopositive cells were recruited around blood vessels in the perimysium of MMs after masticatory behavior. In addition to the aforementioned phenotype of IL-1-KO mice, we found the IL-6 mRNA and protein levels in MMs after masticatory behavior to be significantly lower in IL-1-KO than in WT. Thus, our findings confirm that the locally-increased IL-1 elicited by masticatory behavior, although present small in amounts, contributes to supporting MM activity by maintaining normal glucose homeostasis in these muscles. Our data also underscore the importance of IL-1-mediated local interplay between autocrine myokines including IL-6 and paracrine cytokines in active skeletal muscles. This interplay is directly involved in MM performance and fatigability, perhaps mediated through maintaining muscular glucose homeostasis. 相似文献

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is known to be a tolerogenic cytokine since it inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokine production and T cell stimulatory capacities of myeloid cells, such as macrophages and dendritic cells. In particular, it has a non-redundant tolerogenic role in intestinal immune homeostasis, since mice and patients with genetic defects in the IL-10/IL-10R pathway develop spontaneously colitis in the presence of a normal intestinal flora. However, IL-10 is also a growth and differentiation factor for B-cells, can promote autoantibody production and has consequently a pathogenic role in systemic lupus erythematosus. Moreover, IL-10 can promote cytotoxic T-cell (CTL) responses and this immunogenic activity might be relevant in type-1 diabetes and anti-tumor immune responses. This review summarizes these paradoxic effects of IL-10 on different types of immune responses, and proposes that different cellular sources of IL-10, in particular IL-10-secreting helper and regulatory T-cells, have different effects on B-cell and CTL responses. Based on this concept we discuss the rationales for targeting the IL-10 pathway in immune-mediated diseases and cancer. 相似文献

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a proinflammatory cytokine that has a central action to reduce food intake and body weight. Consistent with this, GM-CSF knockout mice are more obese and hyperphagic than wild-type mice. However, in lung, GM-CSF is an important determinant of macrophage infiltration. Consequently, we sought to determine if GM-CSF might contribute to adipose tissue macrophage accumulation, insulin resistance, and low-grade inflammation that occurs when animals gain weight on a high-fat diet (HFD). We therefore determined how targeted genetic disruption of GM-CSF can affect adipose tissue macrophage and cytokine gene expression as well as glucose homeostasis by performing hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps. The number of macrophages and CCR2 gene expression in adipose tissue of GM-CSF knockout mice was decreased relative to those in wild-type mice, and the adipocyte size of mesenteric fat was increased in GM-CSF knockout mice on a HFD compared with wild-type mice. The level of mRNA of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-1beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha was significantly lower in mesenteric fat of GM-CSF knockout mice on the HFD than in wild-type mice. Using the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp technique, GM-CSF knockout mice had greater overall insulin sensitivity. This increase was due to enhanced peripheral uptake and utilization of glucose rather than to increased hepatic insulin sensitivity. Collectively, the data suggest that the GM-CSF knockout mutation ameliorates peripheral insulin resistance in spite of increased adiposity by reducing inflammation in adipose tissue in response to a HFD. 相似文献

Previous experiments have shown that STAT-induced STAT inhibitor-1 (SSI-1; also named suppressors of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS-1) or Janus kinase binding protein) is predominantly expressed in lymphoid organs and functions in vitro as a negative regulator of cytokine signaling. To determine the function of SOCS-1 in vivo, we generated SSI-1 transgenic mice using the lck proximal promoter that drives transgene expression in T cell lineage. In thymocytes expressing SSI-1 transgene, tyrosine phosphorylation of STATs in response to cytokines such as IFN-gamma, IL-6, and IL-7 was inhibited, suggesting that SSI-1 suppresses cytokine signaling in primary lymphocytes. In addition, lck-SSI-1 transgenic mice showed a reduction in the number of thymocytes as a result of the developmental blocking during triple-negative stage. They also exhibited a relative increase in the percentage of CD4+ T cells, a reduction in the number of gammadelta T cells, as well as the spontaneous activation and increased apoptosis of peripheral T cells. Thus, enforced expression of SSI-1 disturbs the development of thymocytes and the homeostasis of peripheral T cells. All these features of lck-SSI-1 transgenic mice strikingly resemble the phenotype of mice lacking common gamma-chain or Janus kinase-3, suggesting that transgene-derived SSI-1 inhibits the functions of common gamma-chain-using cytokines. Taken together, these results suggest that SSI-1 can also inhibit a wide variety of cytokines in vivo. 相似文献

Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 regulates IL-15 receptor signaling in CD8+CD44high memory T lymphocytes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

T lymphocyte survival, proliferation, and death in the periphery are dependent on several cytokines. Many of these cytokines induce the expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS1), a feedback inhibitor of JAK kinases. However, it is unclear whether the cytokines that regulate T lymphocyte homeostasis are critically regulated by SOCS1 in vivo. Using SOCS1(-/-)IFN-gamma(-/-) mice we show that SOCS1 deficiency causes a lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by decreased CD4/CD8 ratio due to chronic accumulation of CD8+CD44(high) memory phenotype T cells. SOCS1-deficient CD8+ T cells express elevated levels of IL-2Rbeta, show increased proliferative response to IL-15 and IL-2 in vitro, and undergo increased bystander proliferation and vigorous homeostatic expansion in vivo. Sorted CD8+CD44(high) T cells from SOCS1(-/-)IFN-gamma(-/-) mice respond 5 times more strongly than control cells, indicating that SOCS1 is a critical regulator of IL-15R signaling. Consistent with this idea, IL-15 stimulates sustained STAT5 phosphorylation in SOCS1-deficient CD8+ T cells. IL-15 strongly induces TNF-alpha production in SOCS1-deficient CD8+ T cells, indicating that SOCS1 is also a critical regulator of CD8+ T cell activation by IL-15. However, IL-15 and IL-2 induce comparable levels of Bcl-2 and Bcl-x(L) in SOCS1-deficient and SOCS1-sufficient CD8+ T cells, suggesting that cytokine receptor signals required for inducing proliferation and cell survival signals are not identical. These results show that SOCS1 differentially regulates common gamma-chain cytokine signaling in CD8+ T cells and suggest that CD8+ T cell homeostasis is maintained by distinct mechanisms that control cytokine-mediated survival and proliferation signals. 相似文献

In mammals, the cytokine IL-7 is a key regulator of various aspects of lymphocyte differentiation and homeostasis. Because of the difficulty of identifying cytokine homologs in lower vertebrates and the paucity of assay systems and reagents, the degree of functional conservation of cytokine signaling pathways, particularly those pertaining to lymphocyte development, is unclear. In this article, we report on the analysis and characterization of three zebrafish mutants with severely impaired thymopoiesis. The identification of affected genes by positional cloning revealed components of the IL-7 signaling pathway. A presumptive null allele of the zebrafish homolog of the IL-7Rα-chain causes substantially reduced cellularity of the thymus but spares B cell development in the kidney. Likewise, nonsense mutations in the zebrafish homologs of janus kinases JAK1 and JAK3 preferentially affect T cell development. The functional interactions of the cytokine receptor components were examined in the three groups of fish hetero- or homozygous for either il7r and jak1, il7r and jak3, or jak1 and jak3 mutations. The differential effects on T cell development arising from the different genotypes could be explained on the basis of the known structure of the mammalian IL-7R complex. Because IL-7 signaling appears to be a universal requirement for T cell development in vertebrates, the mutants described in this article represent alternative animal models of human immunodeficiency syndromes amenable to large-scale genetic and chemical screens. 相似文献

IL-2 and IL-15 are cytokines involved in T cell activation and death. Their non-shared receptors, IL-2Ralpha and IL-15Ralpha, are important in the homeostasis of lymphocytes as evidenced by gene deletion studies. How these cytokine/receptor systems affect T cell antigen receptor signaling pathways is poorly understood. Here, we show that the IL-2 and IL-15 cytokine/receptor alpha systems regulate activation of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NF-AT) in opposing ways. IL-15Ralpha increased while IL-2Ralpha decreased basal NF-AT activation status in a Jurkat transient transfection model. The effect of each of the alpha chain receptors on NF-AT activation was further opposed by addition of the respective cytokine. These effects were inhibited by anti-cytokine and anti-cytokine receptor reagents as well as by inhibitors of TCR signaling. These results suggest a novel pathway of cytokine action to regulate T cell signaling, activation, death, and homeostasis. 相似文献

Cytokine secretion by human adipocytes is differentially regulated by adiponectin, AICAR, and troglitazone 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

Adipose tissue is an active endocrine organ producing a variety of cytokines and chemokines, which may be involved in the deregulation of glucose and lipid homeostasis as well as in the inflammatory state observed in obesity. We have shown previously that differentiated human adipocytes secrete a variety of cytokines which are able to induce skeletal muscle insulin resistance. However, the regulation of these factors by anti-diabetic drugs has remained mainly undefined. Secretion of IL-6, IL-8, MIP-1alpha/beta, and MCP-1 by adipocytes was found to be downregulated by adiponectin. In parallel to adiponectin, the AMPK activator AICAR also decreased the secretion of most of the measured cytokines including IL-6 and MIP-1alpha/beta but not IL-8. In contrast, the thiazolidinedione troglitazone only slightly reduced cytokine secretion despite increasing the phosphorylation of AMPK. In conclusion, we show that adipocyte secretion is strongly inhibited by the anti-diabetic adipocyte hormone adiponectin, an effect that can also be mimicked by the AMPK activator AICAR. However, the PPARgamma agonist troglitazone is much less effective in reducing cytokine secretion. 相似文献

Conventional (whole body) CYP2E1 knockout mice displayed protection against high-fat diet-induced weight gain, obesity, and hyperlipidemia with increased energy expenditure despite normal food intake and spontaneous locomotor activity. In addition, the CYP2E1 knockout mice displayed a marked improvement in glucose tolerance on both normal chow and high-fat diets. Euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamps demonstrated a marked protection against high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance in CYP2E1 knockout mice, with enhanced adipose tissue glucose uptake and insulin suppression of hepatic glucose output. In parallel, adipose tissue was protected against high-fat diet-induced proinflammatory cytokine production. Taken together, these data demonstrate that the CYP2E1 deletion protects mice against high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance with improved glucose homeostasis in vivo. 相似文献

Connexin32 protects against vascular inflammation by modulating inflammatory cytokine expression by endothelial cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Gap junctions (GJs) play an important role in vascular function, stability, and homeostasis in endothelial cells (ECs), and GJs are comprised of members of the connexin (Cx) family. GJs of vascular ECs are assembled from Cx37, Cx40, and Cx43, and we showed that ECs also express Cx32. In this study, we investigated a potential role for Cx32 during vascular inflammation. Expression of Cx32 mRNA and protein by human umbilical venous ECs (HUVECs) decreased following treatment with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, but lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interleukin (IL)-1β did not affect Cx32 expression. Intracellular transfer of an inhibitory anti-Cx32 monoclonal antibody significantly enhanced TNF-α-induced monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1 and IL-6 expression, but overexpression of Cx32 abrogated TNF-α-induced MCP-1 and IL-6 expression. LPS treatment of Cx32 knock-out mice significantly increased the serum concentrations of TNF-α, interferon-γ, IL-6 and MCP-1, compared to wild-type littermate mice. These data suggest that Cx32 protects ECs from inflammation by regulating cytokine expression and plays an important role in the maintenance of vascular function. 相似文献

Oral lactoferrin prevents body weight loss and increases cytokine responses during herpes simplex virus type 1 infection of mice 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Lactoferrin (LF), a multifunctional milk protein, is known to inhibit in vitro infection by viruses such as herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). We evaluated the influence of LF feeding on the HSV-1 cutaneous infection of mice. Bovine LF was administered to mice and, after 10 d, the mice were infected with HSV-1. LF administration did not affect the viral clearance in the skin, but inhibited the appearance of skin lesions. LF prevented body weight loss and the decrease of splenocyte number associated with HSV-1 infection. LF increased the serum interleukin (IL)-18 level and splenocyte production of interferon-gamma and IL-12. These results suggest that LF feeding was not effective for eradication of the virus, but may contribute to the maintenance of homeostasis and the concomitant increases of cytokine responses during HSV-1 infection. 相似文献

Regulation of T cell homeostasis by heparan sulfate-bound IL-2. 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Although IL-2 is commonly thought to promote proliferation of T lymphocytes, mice deficient in IL-2 exhibit splenomegaly, lymphocytosis, and autoimmunity, suggesting this cytokine may have a prominent role in T cell homeostasis. Since the number of T cells in the bloodstream and lymphoid organs is tightly controlled, it is likely that the availability of IL-2 must also be closely regulated. One mechanism altering the local availability of cytokines is association with heparan sulfate, a glycosaminoglycan found on cell surfaces and within extracellular matrices. Here we show that an association between IL-2 and heparan sulfate localizes IL-2 to lymphoid organs such as the spleen. We also show that IL-2, sequestered in this way, contributes to the activation of T lymphocytes and primes T lymphocytes for activation-induced cell death. 相似文献
