Role of liver NK cells and peritoneal macrophages in gamma interferon and interleukin-10 production in experimental bacterial peritonitis in mice.

چکیده
Gamma interferon (IFN-gamma), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) production by liver, spleen, lung, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (MNC), and peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) in experimental bacterial peritonitis was examined by cecum ligation and puncture (CLP) (with an 18-gauge needle) of BALB/c mice. MNC of organs were cultured for 18 h, and cytokine levels in supernatants were examined. Cytokines contained in peritoneal lavage fluid were regarded as those produced by PEC. Only liver MNC and PEC produced substantial amounts of IFN-gamma, and PEC were the main source of IL-10, especially 12 h after CLP. As reflected by the cytokine production by liver MNC and PEC, serum IFN-gamma and IL-10 levels were elevated after CLP. C57BL/6 (B6) mice and BALB/c nude mice showed a similar pattern of cytokine production. TNF-alpha levels in culture supernatants, peritoneal lavage fluid, and sera were not significantly elevated compared to those of sham-operated mice. In vivo depletion of NK cells of B6 mice with anti-asialo GM1 or anti-NK1.1 antibody greatly decreased IFN-gamma levels in liver MNC culture supernatants and sera, suggesting that liver NK cells are IFN-gamma producers. On the other hand, plastic-adherent PEC macrophages are the major IL-10 producers. Mice subjected to a cecum ligation and cut procedure (which have a more severe peritonitis) showed much higher IFN-gamma and IL-10 levels than those subjected to CLP, while mice subjected to CLP with a smaller (22-gauge) needle showed low levels of these cytokines. These findings show that liver NK cells and PEC macrophages are important for the production of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in bacterial peritonitis.

Effect of Ganoderma Lucidum on Cytokine Release by Peritoneal Macrophages
Background: The water-soluble extract of Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi) has been used as an immunomodulator to stimulate spleen cells proliferation and cytokine expression. Objective: To investigate the effect of Ganoderma lucidum (G. lucidum) on cytokine production by mice peritoneal macrophages. Methods: Mice peritoneal macrophages were prepared by intra-peritoneal injection of 5 ml cold PBS. Per...

Objective(s) Previous studies have demonstrated that the nitric oxide (NO) dependent death of murine peritoneal macrophages activated in vitro with IFN-g and LPS is mediated through apoptosis. In the present study, we investigated the synergistic effect of LPS, IFN-g and iron on NO production and apoptosis. Materials and Methods After determination of iron cytotoxicity, the peritoneal macrop...

Background & Objective: Dendritic cells(DCs) play an important role in directing immune response toward TH1(T-Helper 1) or TH2(T-Helper 2). These cells may induce distinct cytokine patterns in different tissues. So the pattern of cytokine induction by liver and spleen DCs may differ from each other. To investigate the difference between immune responses in the liver(as a non-lymphoid organ ...
متن کاملRole of IFN-gamma on dissociation between nitric oxide and TNF/IL-6 production by murine peritoneal cells after restimulation with bacterial lipopolysaccharide.
Murine peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) pre-exposed to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) show augmented nitric oxide (NO) production by LPS restimulation, in contrast to LPS tolerance with reduced production of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Significant amounts of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) were detected in the PEC cultures on LPS stimulation, and anti-IFN-ga...
