Interleukin 8 (IL-8) selectively inhibits immunoglobulin E production induced by IL-4 in human B cells
The effect of interleukin 8 (IL-8) on IL-4-induced immunoglobulin E (IgE) production was studied. IL-4 induced IgE and IgG4 production by tonsillar mononuclear cells (MNC) without affecting IgM, IgG1, IgA, IgG2, or IgG3 production. IL-8 inhibited IL-4-induced IgE and IgG4 production, whereas it had no effect on IgM, IgG1, IgA, IgG2, and IgG3 production. The inhibitory effect by IL-8 was specifi...
متن کاملThiols decrease human interleukin (IL) 4 production and IL-4-induced immunoglobulin synthesis
N-Acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) is an antioxidant precursor of intracellular glutathione (GSH), usually given in human as a mucolytic agent. In vitro, NAC and GSH have been shown to act on T cells by increasing interleukin (IL) 2 production, synthesis and turnover of IL-2 receptors, proliferation, cytotoxic properties, and resistance to apoptosis. We report here that NAC and GSH decrease in a dose-de...
متن کاملInterleukin (IL)-4 inhibits IL-10 to promote IL-12 production by dendritic cells
Interleukin (IL)-4 is known to be the most potent cytokine that can initiate Th2 cell differentiation. Paradoxically, IL-4 instructs dendritic cells (DCs) to promote Th1 cell differentiation. We investigated the mechanisms by which IL-4 directs CD4 T cells toward the Th1 cell lineage. Our study demonstrates that the IL-4-mediated induction of Th1 cell differentiation requires IL-10 production b...
متن کاملInterleukin 8 (IL-8) - a universal biomarker?
Many clinical conditions including various types of cancers are complex and generally require invasive, laborious, expensive and time-consuming investigations for their diagnosis, treatment and follow-up. There is therefore a general need for exploring non-invasive markers in clinical medicine. Interleukin 8 (IL-8) is currently being applied in various subspecialties of medicine either for the ...
متن کاملRegulation by anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4, IL-10, IL-13, TGFβ)of interleukin-8 production by LPS- and/ or TNFα-activated human polymorphonuclear cells
The capacity to down-regulate the production of IL-8 by LPS-activated human polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) has been demonstrated for IL-4, IL-10, and TGFbeta. We compared their relative capacities and further extended this property to IL-13. We report a great heterogeneity among individuals related to the responsiveness of PMN to the IL-4 and IL-13 inhibitory effects while their response to the ...
