Immunomodulation by polyaromatic hydrocarbons in mice and murine cells.

چکیده
Several functionally defined in vitro antibody generating systems were used to assess the immunomodulating mechanisms of the benzopyrenes. When benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) or benzo(e)pyrene (BeP) was incorporated into a T-dependent antibody (TDAb)-producing spleen cell culture system, dose- and time-dependent inhibition of plaque-forming cell responses was observed. Addition of BaP at concentrations as low as 0.002 microgram/ml (7.93 nM) resulted in suppression of the TDAb plaque-forming cell response. BeP-induced suppression was seen at the 2-microgram level (7.93 microM). Time course evaluations demonstrated an early requirement for either chemical in culture in order to induce significant suppression. In vitro incorporation of BaP and BeP into polyclonal antibody-generating cultures also resulted in a dose-related inhibition. Inhibition of these antibody responses was also noted following in vivo exposure of mice to BaP or BeP. Fourteen-day exposure of mice to BaP (40 mg/kg) resulted in 98% suppression of the TDAb response. Polyclonal antibody responses were reduced 50 to 66% following 7 days of chemical exposure. BeP caused 51% suppression of the TDAb response following 14-day exposure of animals. These studies indicate that the suppressive effects of the benzopyrenes are multicellular in origin, occur apart from the carcinogenic effects of the chemicals, and cannot be attributed merely to cellular toxicity.

Multiple Low Doses of 5-Fluorouracil Diminishes Immunosuppression by Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells in Murine Melanoma Model
Background: Melanoma progression and metastasis is suggested to be mediated by increased accumulation of myeloid derived suppressor cells. Various chemotherapeutic drugs such as 5-Fluorouracil in single low concentration have the capacity, at least in part, to reverse tumor progression by reducing myeloid derived suppressor cellsmediated immunosuppression. Objective: To assess whether multiple ...
متن کاملDIFFERENTIAL EXPRESSION OF SURFACE MARKERS CD45RB AND CD44 ON MURINE CD8+ CELLS
Considering the emerging importance of phenotypic markers as indicators of cell function and differentiation, we studied patterns ofCD44 and CD45RB expression in CD8+ murine T cells with prior exposure to antigen or staphylococcal enterotoxin B ( SEB ). Following in vivo priming with two purified protein derivatives (one from a virulent WHO strain and the other from an avirulent strain), T ...
متن کاملInduction of contact hypersensitivity to dimethylbenz(a)anthracene and benzo(a)pyrene in C3H/HeN mice.
The potential for allergic contact sensitization to two polyaromatic hydrocarbons, 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene and benzo(a)pyrene, was investigated in C3H/HeN mice. For each agent, contact hypersensitivity was achieved by applying a 100-micrograms dose to the shaved abdomen. An ear swelling response was observed following application of 20 micrograms of the sensitizing dose to the ear dorsum...

Purpose: Co-culture systems of marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (mMSCs) with mature chondrocytes have theoretically been considered as a putative way of MSCs chondrogenic differentiation. MSCs differentiated in this system could be used for transplantation purpose without of any need to their purification since the cells with which MSCs are co cultured are native cartilage cells. Despite o...
متن کاملOzonation of mutagenic and carcinogenic polyaromatic amines and polyaromatic hydrocarbons in water.
The Salmonella-microsome assay for mutagenesis was used to determine the effect of ozone on the mutagenesis of selected carcinogens and mutagens in water. Short periods of ozonation were shown to completely inactivate the mutagenicity of several polyaromatic amine mutagens including acriflavine, proflavine, and beta-naphthylamine. Selected polyaromatic hydrocarbons were also sensitive to ozonat...
