Distinct roles for cyclooxygenases 1 and 2 in interleukin-1-induced behavioral changes.

چکیده
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) induces hypophagia, which can be reduced by cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors. Earlier studies with COX knockout (COXko) mice suggested that COX2 was more important for hypophagia than COX1. However, behavioral responses occur long before COX2 is induced. Hypophagia was assessed in mice by measuring the intake of sweetened milk in a brief period. The intake was reduced within 30 min after intraperitoneal injection of IL-1beta and was depressed for about 2 h. When milk intake was measured 30 to 40 min after IL-1beta, COX1ko mice showed an attenuated response, whereas COX2ko mice responded more like wild-type animals. By contrast, 90 to 120 min after IL-1beta COX1ko mice responded normally, whereas COX2ko mice showed only small responses. The COX2-selective inhibitor, celecoxib, failed to alter the response to IL-1beta 30 min after administration, but low doses antagonized the effects of IL-1beta at 90 to 120 min. The COX1-selective inhibitor, SC560, attenuated both the early and late responses, but a larger effect at 30 min than at 90 min suggested a role for COX1 at the earlier time. These results suggest that shortly after IL-1beta administration, COX1 is the major enzyme involved in the reduction of milk intake, whereas at later times COX2 is more important, paralleling its induction. Celecoxib also attenuated the milk intake response observed 2 h after lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and the reductions of food pellet intake and body weight induced by IL-1beta and LPS in the subsequent 24 h, suggesting that the role of COX2 may be more significant biologically than that of COX1.

Introduction: The polypeptide cytokine interleukin-1 is found in all body tissues and plays its role in inflammatory changes. Interleukin-1 is known as alarm cytokine in defense mechanism, particularly immunological responses. The interleukin receptor is present in different tissues and in endometrial epithelium and its antagonist will be increased during preimplantation period, therefore it ...

Background: Stress predisposes organisms to depression and cognitive impairments, and seems to interact with metabolic homeostasis. The inflammatory response and the upregulation of proinflammatory cytokines are some of the consequences related to chronic stress. In this study, we investigated the preventive effect of chronic administration of ibuprofen, as an inhibitor of cyclooxygenases, on t...
متن کاملReduced ingestion of sweetened milk induced by interleukin-1 and lipopolysaccharide is associated with induction of cyclooxygenase-2 in brain endothelia.
UNLABELLED Previous studies have shown that interleukin-1 (IL-1) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration to animals induces behavioral changes, including a reduction in feeding. These effects of IL-1 and LPS have been shown to be sensitive to inhibitors of cyclooxygenase (COX). OBJECTIVES To determine the relationships between induction of COX-2 in the brain with IL-1beta- and LPS-induced...
متن کاملThe effect of lamotrigin on stress-induced behavioral and biochemical changes in mice
Stress may cause special behavioral and biochemical changes. Kindling is presumed to be the underlying mechanism for such changes. Lamotrigin, an anti-kindling agent which blocks glutamate release through inhibiting sodium channels may reverse these behavioral changes. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of lamotrigin in management of behavioral and biochemical changes caused by st...
