Induction of interleukin-4 (IL-4) by legionella pneumophila infection in BALB/c mice and regulation of tumor necrosis factor alpha, IL-6, and IL-1beta.
Infection of BALB/c mice with a sublethal concentration of Legionella pneumophila causes an acute disease that is resolved by innate immune responses. The infection also initiates the development of adaptive Th1 responses that protect the mice from challenge infections. To study the early responses, cytokines induced during the first 24 h after infection were examined. In the serum, interleukin...
متن کاملInterleukin-4 (IL-4) Inhibits Secretion of IL-lfl, Tumor Necrosis Factor a, and IL-6 by Human Monocytes
Monocytes activated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interferon y (IFNy) rapidly secrete a number of monokines with different functional properties. Interleukin-4 (IL-41, a T-cell derived cytokine, has been shown to reduce the production of monokines with cytostatic activity for tumor cells, chemotactic activity for monocytes, and factors that stimulate thymocyte proliferation. This latter activ...
متن کاملMODULATION OF INTERLEUKIN-1Β (IL-1Β ), TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR–Α (TNF-Α) AND INTERLEUKIN-10 (IL-10 ) GENES EXPRESSION FOLLOWING CONCURRENT TRAINING IN WOMEN WITH TYPE2 DIABETES
Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of concurrent training on pre-inflammatory (IL-1β, TNF-α) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10) cytokines gene expression in women with type2 diabetes. Methods: 18-patients (age30-38, >130 glycemic index) were selected, randomly, and divided into control (n=6) the concurrent training(diabetes, n=6) and the concurrent training (healthy...
متن کاملDetection of IL-4, IL-6 and IL-12 Serum Levels in Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis
Background: Periodontitis is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory disease characterized by destruction of tooth-supporting tissues. Environmental and genetic factors as well as the immune system participate in this process. Recent studies have attempted to elucidate the role of cytokine networks involved in periodontal diseases. Objective: To assess and compare the levels of IL-4, IL-6 and IL-...
متن کاملModulation of IL-2- and IL-4-induced cytotoxicities in human T helper lymphocyte clones by tumor necrosis factor-alpha.
A set of alloreactive IL-2-dependent human CD4+ 45RA-w29+56- Th cell clones was divided into two groups according to their ability to respond to IL-4 by proliferation and their susceptibility to inhibition by TNF-alpha. The latter cytokine blocked proliferative responses to IL-2 of IL-4-nonresponsive clones, but did not affect proliferation of IL-4-responsive clones. In the present communicatio...
