Differential modulation of cytokine production by macrolides: interleukin-6 production is increased by spiramycin and erythromycin.
Antibiotics do not act alone but act in conjunction with the host defense system. In particular, it has been shown that some antibiotics can modify cytokine production. We compared the in vitro effects of three macrolides (roxithromycin, spiramycin, and erythromycin) actively concentrated by leukocytes on interleukin-1 alpha, (IL-1 alpha), IL-1 beta, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha produc...
متن کاملModulation of cytokine production by carnitine
The ability of carnitine congeners to modulate cytokine production by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) was investigated. Modulation of cytokine production by PBMC of young (30 years of age or younger) and old (70 years of age or older) normal donors was first compared. The PBMC were collected over Ficoll-Hypaque and incubated in the presence of various concentrations of acetyl L-...
متن کاملInterleukin-12 production by human alveolar macrophages is controlled by the autocrine production of interleukin-10.
By releasing interleukin (IL)-12 in the lung, alveolar macrophages (AM) may profoundly modify an immune response. The autocrine regulation of the heterodimeric, biologically active form of IL-12 (IL-12 p70) by IL-10 was studied, as well as the expression of its subunits of 35 kD (p35) and 40 kD (p40). AM cultured in medium alone expressed only p35 mRNA. Both p35 and p40 mRNA levels were induced...
متن کاملModulation of PPARalpha expression and inflammatory interleukin-6 production by chronic glucose increases monocyte/endothelial adhesion.
OBJECTIVE We have previously reported increased monocyte adhesion to human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) cultured in 25 mmol/L glucose (HG) compared with normal glucose (NG) (5.5 mmol/L). In this study, we explored mechanisms that contribute to increased monocyte adhesion by elevated glucose. METHODS AND RESULTS We found that HAECs cultured in HG have increased production of the chemokine ...
متن کاملInterleukin-6 Contributes to Age-Related Alteration of Cytokine Production by Macrophages
Here, we studied in vitro cytokine production by splenic macrophages obtained from young and aged BALB/c wild type (WT) and IL-6 knockout (IL-6 KO) mice. Relative to macrophages obtained from young WT mice given lipopolysaccharide (LPS), those from aged WT mice had decreased production of proinflammatory cytokines. In contrast, when compared to macrophages from young IL-6 KO mice, LPS stimulati...
