Modulation by interferons of the expression of monocyte complement genes.
Interferons-alpha, -beta and -gamma (IFNs-alpha, -beta and -gamma) stimulated the synthesis of the second complement component (C2), Factor B (B) and C1 inhibitor (C1-inh) by human monocytes in vitro. The degree of increase of the secretion rates of C2, B and C1-inh was dose-dependent and proportional to increases in the abundances of their respective mRNAs. IFN-gamma was the most effective at ...
متن کاملModulation of mouse endotoxic fever by complement.
It was recently reported that the complement system may be critically involved in the febrile response of guinea pigs to systemic, particularly intraperitoneally (i.p.) injected, lipopolysaccharides (LPS). The present study was designed to identify which component(s) of the complement cascade may be specifically critical. To this end, we used mice with C3, C5, and CR2 gene deletions. To assess ...
متن کاملMonocyte urokinase expression: modulation by interleukins.
This study delineates the regulatory effect of interleukin-1 (IL-1) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) on monocyte plasminogen activator (PA) activity. Mononuclear phagocytes regulate net PA activity by modulating the expression of urokinase-type PA (uPA) and a specific plasminogen activator inhibitor, PAI-2. To understand the regulation of mononuclear phagocyte PA activity, it is important to compare th...
متن کاملEnhanced expression of human monocyte complement (C3b) receptors by chemoattractants.
The capacity of various leucoattractants to enhance, or unfold, receptors for complement (C3b) on human blood monocytes has been studied. A number of recognized monocyte chemoattractants including casein, supernatants from C. parvum 10390 and from human lymphocytes (cultured either in the presence or absence of phytohaemagglutinin) and the formyl-methionyl peptides, F-Met-Leu-Phe, F-Met-Met-Phe...
متن کاملSelective inhibition of human diploid fibroblast collagen synthesis by interferons.
The effects of alpha- and gamma-interferons (IFNs) on collagen production by confluent human diploid fibroblasts in culture were examined. It was found that partially purified alpha-IFNs and affinity purified gamma-IFNs caused greater than 50% inhibition of collagen synthesis by these cells independently of their effect on cell proliferation. Recombinant alpha-IFNs showed a similar effect (38.8...
