The interaction between interleukin-10 (IL-10) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) was investigated in the inflammatory response to Rhodococcus aurantiacus (R. aurantiacus) infection, in which both cytokines act as anti-inflammatory cytokines. Compared with wild-type (WT) counterparts, IL-6 gene-deficient (IL-6(-)/(-)) mice mounted a more robust production of IL-10 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) during the initial phase of infection. Administration of anti-IL-10 antibody resulted in all the mice dying within 3 days post-infection as well as a further elevated TNF-alpha release. In vitro challenge of the macrophages from IL-6(-)/(-) and WT mice with heat-killed R. aurantiacus also showed similar results. Addition of exogenous IL-6 depressed IL-10 and TNF-alpha production by either IL-6(-)/(-) mice or IL-6(-)/(-) mouse macrophages. Likewise, WT mouse macrophages pretreated with anti-IL-10 or anti-IL-6 antibody exhibited increased production of TNF-alpha and IL-6 or IL-10 respectively. Moreover, neutralization of both IL-10 and IL-6 induced a further increase in TNF-alpha production by WT mouse cells. Overall, we conclude that IL-10 is a key element in protecting mice against mortality, and that IL-10 and IL-6 production are negatively regulated by each other although they are additive in suppressing TNF-alpha release in R. aurantiacus-infected mouse model. 相似文献

TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta are not essential to the inflammatory response in LPS-induced airway disease

To determine the role of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and interleukin (IL)-1 beta in the lower respiratory tract inflammatory response after inhalation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), we conducted inhalation exposure studies in mice lacking expression of TNF-alpha and/or IL-1 receptor type 1 and in mice with functional blockade of these cytokines using adenoviral vector delivery of soluble receptors to one or both cytokines. Alterations in airway physiology were assessed by pulmonary function testing before and immediately after 4 h of LPS exposure, and the cellular inflammatory response was measured by whole lung lavage and assessment of inflammatory cytokine protein and mRNA expression. Airway resistance after LPS exposure was similarly increased in all groups of mice without evidence that blockade of either or both cytokines was protective from this response. Additionally, all groups of mice demonstrated significant increases in lung lavage fluid cellularity with a complete shift in the population of cells to a predominantly neutrophilic infiltrate as well as elevation in inflammatory cytokine protein and mRNA levels. There were no significant differences between the groups in measures of lung inflammation. These results indicate that TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta do not appear to have an essential role in mediating the physiological or inflammatory response to inhaled LPS. 相似文献

Obesity is associated with elevated levels of IL-6. High IL-6 is prognostic of mortality in sepsis, while controversial data link obesity to sepsis outcome. We used Lean and diet-induced obese (DIO) WT and IL-6 KO mice to investigate the interaction between obesity and IL-6 in endotoxemia. Circulating levels of IL-6 were significantly higher in WT DIO versus WT Lean mice receiving LPS (2.5 μg/mouse, ip). Obesity lead to greater weight loss in response to LPS, with IL-6 deficiency being partially protective. Plasma TNFα, IFNγ, Galectin-3 and leptin were significantly elevated in response to LPS and were each differentially affected by obesity and/or IL-6 deficiency. Plasma Galectin-1 and adiponectin were significantly suppressed by LPS, with obesity and IL-6 deficiency modulating the response. However, LPS comparably increased IL-10 levels in each group. Leukopenia with relative neutrophilia and thrombocytopenia developed in each group after injection of LPS, with obesity and genotype affecting the kinetics, but not the magnitude, of the response. Hepatic induction of the acute-phase protein SAA by LPS was not affected by obesity or IL-6 deficiency, although baseline levels were highest in WT DIO mice. Injection of LPS significantly increased hepatic mRNA expression of PAI-1 in Lean WT and Lean KO mice, while it suppressed the high baseline levels observed in the liver of DIO WT and DIO KO mice. Thus, both IL-6 and obesity modulate the response to endotoxemia, suggesting a complex interaction that needs to be considered when evaluating the effect of obesity on the outcome of septic patients. 相似文献

To determine the effect of interleukin 4 (IL-4) administration in a live sepsis model characterised by high-level production of tumour necrosis factor a (TNF-alpha), mice infected systemically with lethal or sublethal inocula of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were given the recombinant cytokine at different times before infection. Improved survival and decreased TNF-alpha production were observed in lethally infected mice treated with the cytokine 1 day before challenge. In contrast, increased mortality and overproduction of TNF-alpha were observed in sublethally infected mice given IL-4 at the time of infection. 相似文献

IL-19 induces production of IL-6 and TNF-alpha and results in cell apoptosis through TNF-alpha 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

IL-10 is an immunosuppressive cytokine in the immune system. It was in clinical trial as an anti-inflammatory therapy for inflammatory bowel disease and various autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis. IL-19 belongs to the IL-10 family, which includes IL-10, IL-19, IL-20, IL-22, melanoma differentiation-associated gene (MDA-7, IL-24), and AK155 (IL-26). Despite a partial homology in their amino acid sequences, they are dissimilar in their biologic functions. Little is known about the biologic function and gene regulation of IL-19. To understand the gene regulation of human IL-19, we identified a human IL-19 genomic clone and analyzed its promoter region. Five fusion genes containing different regions upstream of exon 1 linked to a luciferase reporter gene were expressed in the canine kidney epithelial-like Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. A fusion gene containing 394 bp showed luciferase activity 7- to 8-fold higher than the negative control of the promoterless fusion gene. We also isolated a full-length mouse cDNA clone. Mouse IL-19 shared 71% amino acid identity with human IL-19. Treatment of monocytes with mouse IL-19 induced the production of IL-6 and TNF-alpha. It also induced mouse monocyte apoptosis and the production of reactive oxygen species. Taken together, our results indicate that mouse IL-19 may play some important roles in inflammatory responses because it up-regulates IL-6 and TNF-alpha and induces apoptosis. 相似文献

The depression of the granulomatous response to Mycobacterium bovis strain BCG in mice infected intravenously with 2 x 10(7) CFU of the microorganism turned out to be mediated by various types of cells arising at different times after infection. Anti-PPD B lymphocytes were found to play a major role at Day 1 after infection and to be no longer effective 4 days later. At this time the depression was mediated by anti-idiotype B lymphocytes, whereas T lymphocytes proved to be involved in later phases of the infectious process. These results show that B lymphocytes may be of critical importance in the regulation of cell-mediated immune reactions to this facultative intracellular parasite. 相似文献

Rhodococcus equi is a gram-positive, facultative intracellular bacterium which infects macrophages and causes rhodococcal pneumonia and enteritis in foals. Recently, this agent has been recognized as an opportunistic pathogen for immunocompromised humans. Several murine experimental models have been used to study R. equi infection. High (H(IV-A)) and Low (L(IV-A)) antibody (Ab)-producers mice were obtained by bi-directional genetic selections for their ability to produce antibodies against sheep and human erythrocytes (Selection IV-A). These lines maintain their phenotypes of high and low responders also for other antigens than those of selection (multispecific effect). A higher macrophage activity in L(IV-A) mice has been described for several intracellular infectious agents, which could be responsible for their intense macrophage antigens (Ag)-handling and low Ab production. Due to these differences, L(IV-A) mice were found to exhibit a better performance to trigger an effective immune response towards intracellular pathogens. The objective of this work was to characterize the immune response of Selection IV-A against R. equi. H(IV-A) and L(IV-A) mice were infected with 2.0x10(6) CFU of ATCC 33701+R. equi by intravenous route. With regards to bacterial clearance and survival assays, L(IV-A) mice were more resistant than H(IV-A) mice to virulent R. equi. L(IV-A) mice presented a higher hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitric oxide (NO) endogenous production by splenic macrophages than H(IV-A) mice. L(IV-A) expressed the most intense cellular response, available by the Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity (DTH) reaction, which activated macrophages and produced more H2O2 and NO. The three times higher specific antibodies titres in H(IV-A) indicated that Selection IV-A maintained the multispecific effect and the polygenic control of humoral and cellular responses also to R. equi. 相似文献

IL-23 mediates inflammatory responses to mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection in mice 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) develop chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection with mucoid strains of P. aeruginosa; these infections cause significant morbidity. The immunological response in these infections is characterized by an influx of neutrophils to the lung and subsequent lung damage over time; however, the underlying mediators to this response are not well understood. We recently reported that IL-23 and IL-17 were elevated in the sputum of patients with CF who were actively infected with P. aeruginosa; however, the importance of IL-23 and IL-17 in mediating this inflammation was unclear. To understand the role that IL-23 plays in initiating airway inflammation in response to P. aeruginosa, IL-23p19(-/-) (IL-23 deficient) and wild-type (WT) mice were challenged with agarose beads containing a clinical, mucoid isolate of P. aeruginosa. Levels of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, bacterial dissemination, and inflammatory infiltrates were measured. IL-23-deficient mice had significantly lower induction of IL-17, keratinocyte-derived chemokine (KC), and IL-6, decreased bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) neutrophils, metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), and reduced airway inflammation than WT mice. Despite the reduced level of inflammation in IL-23p19(-/-) mice, there were no differences in the induction of TNF and interferon-gamma or in bacterial dissemination between the two groups. This study demonstrates that IL-23 plays a critical role in generating airway inflammation observed in mucoid P. aeruginosa infection and suggests that IL-23 could be a potential target for immunotherapy to treat airway inflammation in CF. 相似文献

Insulin therapy to maintain euglycemia increases survival in critically ill patients. To explore possible mechanisms of action, we investigated the effect of endotoxin on circulating cytokines, free fatty acids (FFA), and leukocytes during manipulated plasma glucose and insulin concentrations. Ten volunteers underwent three trials each, receiving an intravenous bolus of endotoxin (0.2 ng/kg) during normoglycemia (trial A, control), during a hyperglycemic clamp at 15 mM (trial B), and during a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp (trial C). Endotoxin induced an increase in neutrophil count, a decrease in lymphocyte count, and an increase in serum levels of TNF-alpha, IL-6, and FFA. There was no difference in the TNF response between the three trials; the IL-6 levels were increased during the late phase of trials B and C compared with trial A. The endotoxin-induced elevation in FFA in trial A was suppressed during trials B and C. Clamping (trials B and C) caused a reduction in lymphocyte count that persisted after endotoxin injection. We conclude that low-dose endotoxemia triggers a subclinical inflammatory response and an elevation in FFA. The finding that high insulin serum concentrations induce a more prolonged increase in the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 and suppress the levels of FFA suggests that insulin treatment of patients with sepsis may exert beneficial effects by inducing anti-inflammation and protection against FFA toxicity, and thereby inhibit FFA-induced insulin resistance. 相似文献

Malaria, blood-borne filarial worms and intestinal parasites are all endemic in Gabon. This geographical co-distribution leads to polyparasitism and, consequently, the possibility of immune-mediated interactions among different parasite species. Intestinal protozoa and helminths could modulate antimalarial immunity, for example, thereby potentially increasing or reducing susceptibility to malaria. The aim of the study was to compare the cytokine levels and cytokine ratios according to parasitic profiles of the population to determine the potential role of co-endemic parasites in the malaria susceptibility of populations. Blood and stool samples were collected during cross-sectional surveys in five provinces of Gabon. Parasitological diagnosis was performed to detect plasmodial parasites, Loa loa, Mansonella perstans, intestinal helminths (STHs) and protozoan parasites. Nested PCR was used to detect submicroscopic plasmodial infection in individuals with negative blood smears. A cytometric bead array was used to quantify interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10 and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α in the plasma of subjects with different parasitological profiles. Median IL-6 and IL-10 levels and the median IL-10/TNF-α ratio were all significantly higher among individuals with Plasmodium (P.) falciparum infection than among other participants (p<0.0001). The median TNF-α level and IL-10/IL-6 ratio were higher in subjects with STHs (p = 0.09) and P. falciparum-intestinal protozoa co-infection (p = 0.04), respectively. IL-6 (r = -0.37; P<0.01) and IL-10 (r = -0.37; P<0.01) levels and the IL-10/TNF-α ratio (r = -0.36; P<0.01) correlated negatively with age. Among children under five years old, the IL-10/TNF-α and IL-10/IL-6 ratios were higher in those with intestinal protozoan infections than in uninfected children. The IL-10/TNF-α ratio was also higher in children aged 5–15 years and in adults harbouring blood-borne filariae than in their control counterparts, whereas the IL-10/IL-6 ratio was lower in those aged 5–15 years with filariae and intestinal parasites but higher in adults with intestinal parasitic infections. Asymptomatic malaria is associated with a strong polarization towards a regulatory immune response, presenting high circulating levels of IL-10. P. falciparum/intestinal protozoa co-infections were associated with an enhanced IL-10 response. Immunity against malaria could differ according to age and carriage of other parasites. Helminths and intestinal protozoa can play a role in the high susceptibility to malaria currently observed in some areas of Gabon, but further investigations are necessary. 相似文献

IL-6 and TNF-alpha are proinflammatory cytokines involved in various inflammatory or non-inflammatory disorders characterized by muscle wasting. While infiltrating leukocytes are known to be the major source of these cytokines, it is unclear whether muscle cells also contribute to local inflammation. In this study, we first showed that cultured muscle cells and naive mouse muscle tissue were capable of producing IL-6 and TNF-alpha. We demonstrated an increased expression of IL-6 and TNF-alpha on muscle sections of C57BL/6J mice immunized with acetylcholine receptor (AChR) in the complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) or with CFA only. In the presence of IL-6 or TNF-alpha, cultured AChR-expressing mouse (G-8) and human (TE671) skeletal muscle cells showed significantly decreased alpha-bungarotoxin-binding sites as measured by cellular ELISA. Moreover, IL-6- or TNF-alpha-treated muscle cells displayed a considerable increase in apoptotic cell ratios. Collectively, this study suggests a direct role for these two cytokines in muscle cell destruction and a possibility of muscle cell damage via an autocrine fashion. 相似文献

IL-10 is an inhibitor of the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-12 and IL-1beta, but it is not known whether it can inhibit the production of IL-18. Therefore, a variety of in vivo and in vitro models were used to determine whether IL-10 is an inhibitor of IL-18 production. Infection of IL-10-/- mice with Toxoplasma gondii results in increased levels of IL-12 in the serum and in recall responses compared to wild type (WT) mice. Surprisingly, although infection resulted in increased levels of IL-18 in serum, there were no differences between WT and IL-10-/- mice. Moreover, splenocytes from infected WT and IL-10-/- mice produced similar levels of IL-18 and addition of exogenous IL-10 did not inhibit their production of IL-18. To address whether endogenous IL-18 inhibitors were masking increased IL-18 production in the IL-10-/- mice, expression of IL-18 binding protein was examined using RT-PCR. Although infection leads to increased expression of IL-18BP mRNA, no difference was seen between WT and IL-10-/- mice. In addition, splenocytes from IL-10-/- mice produced elevated levels of nitric oxide (NO) compared to WT mice, and NO has been shown to inhibit activity of interleukin-1 converting enzyme (ICE), which is required for IL-18 production. However, the addition of an inhibitor of NO production did not alter the levels of IL-18 produced. Finally, analysis of the levels of cytokine mRNA of macrophages stimulated with LPS and IFN-gamma revealed that although IL-10 is a potent inhibitor of IL-12 mRNA accumulation, it did not inhibit IL-1beta or IL-18. Together, these data indicate that IL-10 is not an inhibitor of the production of IL-18. 相似文献

Effects of IL-10 and age on IL-6, IL-1beta, and TNF-alpha responses in mouse skeletal and cardiac muscle to an acute inflammatory insult. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Exaggerated proinflammatory cytokine responses can be observed with aging, and reduced levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 may contribute to these responses. IL-10 can reduce IL-6, IL-1beta, and TNF-alpha expression in nonmuscle tissues; however, no studies have examined the combined effects of IL-10 and age on cytokine responses in skeletal and cardiac muscle. These experiments tested the hypothesis that the absence of IL-10, in vivo, is associated with greater IL-6, TNF-alpha, and IL-1beta responses to an inflammatory challenge in skeletal and cardiac muscle and that aging exaggerates these responses. We compared IL-6, IL-1beta, and TNF-alpha mRNA and protein levels in skeletal and cardiac muscle of young (4 mo) and mature (10-11 mo) wild-type (IL-10(+/+)) and IL-10 deficient (IL-10(-/-)) mice following LPS. Skeletal and cardiac IL-6 mRNA and protein were elevated by LPS for IL-10(+/+) and IL-10(-/-) mice with greater responses in the IL-10(-/-) mice (P < 0.01). In skeletal muscle these effects were greater in mature than young mice (P < 0.01). IL-1beta mRNA and protein responses to LPS were greater in cardiac muscle of young but not mature IL-10(-/-) mice compared with IL-10(+/+) (P < 0.01). However, IL-1beta responses were greater in mature than young mice, but only in IL-10(+/+) groups (P < 0.05). The absence of IL-10 was associated with higher TNF-alpha protein levels in cardiac muscle (P < 0.05). The results provide the first in vivo evidence that the absence of IL-10 is associated with a greater IL-6 response to LPS in skeletal and cardiac muscles, and in skeletal muscle aging further exaggerates these responses. 相似文献

Abstract Mice infected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with Yersinia enterocolitica developed an inflammatory response, as revealed by a large influx of leukocytes in the peritoneal cavity. When the infection was preceded by the administration of Y. enterocolitica by the same route 4 days before, this resulted in a poor inflammatory reaction. On the other hand, the response of previously immunized animals to infection resembled to those of primoinfected mice. Bone marrow cellularity was decreased after the infection with Y. enterocolitica . Since bone marrow depletion by pre-treatment with cyclophosphamide decreased the inflammatory response to Y. enterocolitica , we concluded that marrow cell reserve was necessary for the inflammatory reaction, whereas specific immunity did not affect this response. 相似文献

The effect of compound nutrients on serum concentrations of the cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-2, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin (IL)-6 in immobilization and cold water-immersion stressed rat were investigated. Oral (gavage) administration of compound nutrients was found to attenuate the acute and chronic immobilization and cold water-immersion stress-induced increase in serum IL-6 level and decrease in IL-2 level. Compound nutrients exerted different effects on TNF-alpha level in two different models studied, with reduced serum TNF-alpha level in acute stress, while no significant effect in chronic stress. These results suggested that compound nutrients might be proposed as a possible candidate in the research or therapeutic modulation of stress-related disorders. 相似文献

IL-17B and IL-17C are associated with TNF-alpha production and contribute to the exacerbation of inflammatory arthritis 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

IL-17A is a T cell-derived proinflammatory cytokine that contributes to the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. Recently, six related molecules have been identified to form the IL-17 family, as follows: IL-17A, IL-17B, IL-17C, IL-17D, IL-17E, and IL-17F. Whereas IL-17A and IL-17F up-regulate IL-6 in synovial fibroblasts, IL-17B and IL-17C are reported to stimulate the release of TNF-alpha and IL-1beta from the monocytic cell line, THP-1 cell. However, their detailed function remains to be elucidated. We report in this study the effects of IL-17 family on the collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) progression by T cell gene transfer and bone marrow chimeric mice. The mRNA expressions of IL-17 family (IL-17A, IL-17B, IL-17C, and IL-17F) and their receptor (IL-17R and IL-17Rh1) genes in the arthritic paws of CIA mice were elevated compared with controls. Although IL-17A and IL-17F were expressed in CD4(+) T cells, IL-17B and IL-17C were expressed in the cartilage and in various cell populations in the CIA arthritic paws, respectively. In vitro, IL-17A, IL-17B, IL-17C, and IL-17F induced TNF-alpha production in mouse peritoneal exudate cells. In vivo, adoptive transfer of IL-17B- and IL-17C-transduced CD4(+) T cells evidently exacerbated arthritis. Bone marrow chimeric mice of IL-17B and IL-17C exhibited elevated serum TNF-alpha concentration and the high arthritis score upon CIA induction. Moreover, neutralization of IL-17B significantly suppressed the progression of arthritis and bone destruction in CIA mice. Therefore, not only IL-17A, but also IL-17B and IL-17C play an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory arthritis. 相似文献
