Anticandidal activity and interleukin-1 beta and interleukin-6 production by polymorphonuclear leukocytes are preserved in subjects with AIDS.
Polymorphonuclear granulocytes (PMN; or neutrophils) from uninfected or human immunodeficiency virus-infected subjects were tested for their ability to inhibit growth of Candida albicans and produce interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and IL-6 in vitro. It was seen that PMN from AIDS (Centers for Disease Control stage IV) patients expressed equal if not greater anticandidal activity compared with th...
متن کاملEffect of soluble interleukin-6 receptor alpha and interleukin-6 secreted by polymorphonuclear leukocytes on tumor necrosis factor-alpha expression and its production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
BACKGROUND It has recently been shown that soluble interleukin-6 receptor (sIL-6R) alone or complexed with interleukin (IL)-6, besides their regulatory role in a wide variety of both normal and abnormal biologic reactions mediated by IL-6, could be an effective stimulator of the cell function. AIMS The key question of the present study is whether the sIL-6Ralpha or sIL-6R with IL-6 released b...
متن کامل[Phagocytosis, intracellular killing and interleukin 1 production of polymorphonuclear leukocytes in human periodontal diseases].
The role of the polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMNL) as a primary protective cell in periodontal diseases has been well recognized. Functional abnormalities of PMNL chemotaxis have been implicated in the pathogenesis of some types of periodontitis. However, no consistent correlation with other PMNL functions has been reported. In the present study, phagocytosis and intracellular killing (oxidativ...
متن کاملInterleukin-6, interleukin-1 beta and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist levels in epileptic seizures
PURPOSE Data are accumulating to support the involvement of inflammatory mechanisms in the pathogenesis and course of epilepsy. METHODS The aim of this study was to examine seizure-induced changes in plasma concentrations of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) in 23 patients with epilepsy undergoing a video-electroencephalography (E...
متن کاملWrestlers’ immune cells produce higher interleukin-6 and lower interleukin-12 and interleukin-13 in response toin vitro mitogen activation
Objective(s):Although recent investigations have shown chronic inflammation and inflammation-associated diseases might be ameliorated by exercise; little is known about the relation between exercise training with anti/pro-inflammatory cytokines. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted to compare interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-13, interferon gamma (IFN-γ) le...
