Induction of interleukin-4 and interleukin-5 expression in mast cells is inhibited by glucocorticoids.
Inflammation in asthma and other allergic diseases is characterized by excessive production of immunoglobulin E (IgE) and the influx of leukocytes, especially eosinophils. Interleukin 4 (IL-4) and IL-5 are essential for IgE production and eosinophilia, respectively, and are produced by mast cells in allergic conditions, for which glucocorticoids are widely used therapeutically. We assessed the ...
متن کاملEffect of Vitamin D treatment on Interleukin-2 and Interleukin-4 Genes expression in Multiple Sclerosis
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of central nervous system. The etiology of MS is slightly known, but genetic and environmental factors are reported. Vitamin D regulates gene expression and affects target cell functions. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression variation of IL-2 and IL-4 genes under vitamin D supplementation in patients with mult...
متن کاملGlucocorticoids induce the expression of CD8 alpha chains on concanavalin A-activated rat CD4+ T cells: induction is inhibited by rat recombinant interleukin 4
Rat T lymphocytes, activated in vitro with concanavalin A (Con A), were shown by flow cytofluorographic analysis to contain a population of cells that simultaneously expressed CD4 and the alpha chain of CD8. The inclusion of the glucocorticoid hormone dexamethasone in the culture medium greatly increased both the frequency of these double-positive cells and the level of CD8 alpha chain expressi...
متن کاملInterleukin-5 (IL-5) increases spontaneous apoptosis of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells in vitro independently of bcl-2 expression and is inhibited by IL-4.
During hematopoiesis, viability factors that suppress apoptosis are required throughout the differentiation process. Some of these factors may also function as growth factors. Interleukin-5 (IL-5) is recognized as a growth factor in hematopoiesis. We examined the involvement of IL-5 as a viability factor of B-CLL in vitro. In 13 B-CLL cases studied, IL-5 at 20 U/mL increased spontaneous apoptos...
متن کاملInhibition by glucocorticoids of the interleukin-1beta-enhanced expression of the mast cell growth factor SCF.
1. Stem cell factor (SCF) is a major mast cell growth factor that promotes differentiation and chemotaxis of mast cells and inhibits their apoptosis. 2. We evaluated the effect of interleukin (IL)-1beta, a major pro-inflammatory cytokine, on the constitutive expression of SCF and studied the effects of two glucocorticoids, budesonide and dexamethasone, on the IL-1beta-enhanced SCF expression. 3...
