Lactobacilli and streptococci induce interleukin-12 (IL-12), IL-18, and gamma interferon production in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were stimulated with three nonpathogenic Lactobacillus strains and with one pathogenic Streptococcus pyogenes strain, and cytokine gene expression and protein production were analyzed. All bacteria strongly induced interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha mRNA expression and protein production. S. pyogenes was the most p...
متن کاملEssential role of interleukin-12 (IL-12) and IL-18 for gamma interferon production induced by listeriolysin O in mouse spleen cells.
The mechanism of gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) production induced by listeriolysin O (LLO), a cytolytic virulence factor of Listeria monocytogenes, was analyzed with special reference to the involvement of macrophage-derived cytokines in spleen cells of mice. LLO purified from the culture supernatant of L. monocytogenes was capable of inducing a high level of IFN-gamma when its cytolytic activit...
متن کاملModerate Exercise Enhances the Production of Interferon-γ and Interleukin-12 in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells
The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of two months moderate exercise on levels of IFN-γ, IL-12, IL-6 and IL-4 in serum and supernatants of in vitro mitogen-activated (PHA for 48 h) whole blood (WB) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Sixteen healthy males participated in running program (30 min/day, 5 days/week). Blood samples were collected in three stages; 24 h befo...
متن کاملCandida albicans and Candida krusei differentially induce human blood mononuclear cell interleukin-12 and gamma interferon production.
Protection against Candida infection involves both innate and acquired immune responses, and cytokines produced by monocytes during the innate response may modify the acquired immune response by T cells. We hypothesized that Candida species which differ in pathogenicity can differentially induce production of immunoregulatory cytokines by human monocytes, which in turn modify T cells for immune...
متن کاملDecreased response to IL-12 and IL-18 of peripheral blood cells in rheumatoid arthritis
Inflamed synovium of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been associated with a T helper (Th)1 cytokine profile but the blood situation remains to be clarified. We studied the differential IFN-gamma producing activity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from RA patients (RA-PBMCs) and from healthy controls (H-PBMCs) in response to IL-12 and IL-18. RA-PBMCs had a decreased IFN-gamma producti...
