چکیده

Cytokines produced by keratinocytes play an essential role in the induction of immune suppression following ultraviolet (UV) exposure. Using antibodies specific for either interleukin-lO (IL-b) or tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-a), we present evidence indicating that IL-b suppresses delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) but not contact hypersensitivity (CHS), whereas TNF-ct suppresses CHS but not DTH following UV exposure. UV exposure also activates antigen-specific suppressor T cells. To determine whether the antigen-specific CD4 T cells that transfer suppression in this system mediate their suppressive effect by releasing IL-4 or IL-lO, we transferred UV Ts into normal mice that were then injected with either anti-IL-4 or anti-IL-lO antibody. Both antiIL-4 and anti-IL-lO blocked the ability of UV Ts cells to suppress DTH in the recipient animals. When UV Ts that suppress CHS were transferred into normal recipients, however, neither antibody was able to block the UV Ts activity. These findings suggest that UV Ts suppress DTH by secreting IL-4 and IL-lO and appear to act like Th2 cells. Because anti-IL-4 and anti-IL-lO did not block the activity of the UV Ts that regulate contact hypersensitivity, their effects appear to be mediated by a different mechanism. J. Leukoc. Biol. 56: 769-775; 1994.

Protective effect of dizocilpine (MK-801) on TNBS-induced experimental colitis in mice

Ulcerative colitis is chronic and recurrent disease of the gastrointestinal tract with uncertain etiology and incomplete treatment options. N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor suppression has shown anti-inflammatory effects in vitro and in vivo. The aim of present study was to evaluate the role of dizocilpine (MK-801), a noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist, on TNBS (trinitrobenzene sulfoni...

Gambogic acid inhibits LPS-induced macrophage pro-inflammatory cytokine production mainly through suppression of the p38 pathway

Objective(s): In traditional Chinese medicine, gamboge can detoxify bodies, kill parasites, and act as a hemostatic agent. Recent studies have demonstrated that gambogic acid (GBA) suppressed inflammation in arthritis, and also presented antitumor effect. Thus, this study investigated the new biological properties of GBA on macrophages.Materials and Methods: RAW 264.7 cells were pretreated with...
