Human marrow stromal cells: response to interleukin-6 (IL-6) and control of IL-6 expression.
Production of interleukin-6 (IL-6) by marrow stromal cells from human long-term marrow cultures and from stromal cells transformed with simian virus 40 was examined. As with other cultured mesenchymal cells, unstimulated stromal cells produced undetectable amounts of IL-6 mRNA when assayed by Northern blots. However, within 30 minutes after exposure of transformed marrow stromal cells to the in...
متن کاملAssessment of Interleukins IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 in Acute Urticaria
BACKGROUND Urticaria is a skin disease that affects approximately 5% of the general population and manifests itself, not only as an acute but also as a chronic disease. The etiology of the disease varies as well as its clinical manifestations which extend from the presence of urticarial hives to the potentially mortal angioedema. There is a great interest to the disease not only due to its spec...
متن کاملIl-4 and IL-13, but not IL-10, protect human synoviocytes from apoptosis.
Interleukin-4, which has been contemplated for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and/or osteoarthritis because of its anticatabolic properties, has also been shown to modulate apoptosis. Because inadequate apoptosis is thought to contribute to synovial hyperplasia, we have investigated the ability of IL-4 and other Th2 cytokines to protect human synovial cells from apoptosis. Human synovioc...
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 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-...
