Regulation of interleukin-8 by interleukin-10 and transforming growth factor beta in human monocytes infected with mycobacterium bovis.
Recent studies indicate that interleukin 8 (IL-8) production contributes to the host immune responses against mycobacterial infection. In this study, we were interested to determine whether induction of IL-8 in human monocytes infected with Mycobacterium bovis was regulated by other monocyte-derived cytokines important in antimycobacterial immunity: IL-10 and transforming growth factor beta (TG...
متن کاملCorrelation of cytokine gene expression with pathology in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) infected with Mycobacterium bovis.
Mycobacterium bovis-infected white-tailed deer (WTD) in northeast Michigan are a reservoir of mycobacteria that pose a threat to both domestic animals and humans. Relatively little work has been done to characterize the immune response of WTD to M. bovis infection; however, an understanding of the immune response to infection and pathogenesis may be critical to the development of an effective v...
متن کاملInhibition of Mycobacterium bovis BCG-induced tumor necrosis factor alpha secretion in human cells by transforming growth factor beta.
The effect of exogenous transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) on Mycobacterium bovis BCG-induced tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) production by human mononuclear cells was studied. It was found that TNF-alpha production by human cells stimulated with BCG was significantly inhibited by TGF-beta. The specificity of the observed inhibition was demonstrated, since the addition of an ant...
متن کاملSecretion of interleukin-8 by human-derived cell lines infected with Mycobacterium bovis.
BACKGROUND The variable efficacy of bacillus Calmette-Guérin (Mycobacterium bovis BCG) in protecting humans against tuberculosis has prompted a search for the mechanisms through which BCG induces chemokines. In this study, our experiments were designed to determine the role of the transcription factor nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) and intracellular calcium in the production of interleukin (...
متن کاملRegulation of Human CD4 ab T-Cell-Receptor-Positive (TCR) and gd TCR T-Cell Responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis by Interleukin-10 and Transforming Growth Factor b
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the etiologic agent of human tuberculosis and is estimated to infect one-third of the world’s population. Control of M. tuberculosis requires T cells and macrophages. T-cell function is modulated by the cytokine environment, which in mycobacterial infection is a balance of proinflammatory (interleukin-1 [IL-1], IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, and tumor necrosis factor alpha) an...
