چکیده

We investigated the contributions of forebrain, brain stem, and spinal neural circuits to interleukin (IL)-1beta-induced sympathetic nerve discharge (SND) responses in alpha-chloralose-anesthetized rats. Lumbar and splenic SND responses were determined in spinal cord-transected (first cervical vertebra, C1), midbrain-transected (superior colliculus), and sham-transected rats before and for 60 min after intravenous IL-1beta (285 ng/kg). The observations made were the following: 1) lumbar and splenic SND were significantly increased after IL-1beta in sham C1-transected rats but were unchanged after IL-1beta in C1-transected rats; 2) intrathecal administration of DL-homocysteic acid (10 ng) increased SND in C1-transected rats; 3) lumbar and splenic SND were significantly increased after IL-1beta in sham- but not midbrain-transected rats; and 4) midbrain transection did not alter the pattern of lumbar and splenic SND, demonstrating the integrity of brain stem sympathetic neural circuits after decerebration. These results demonstrate that an intact forebrain is required for mediating lumbar and splenic sympathoexcitatory responses to intravenous IL-1beta, thereby providing new information about the organization of neural circuits responsible for mediating sympathetic-immune interactions.

Modulation of endothelial cell function by normal polyspecific human intravenous immunoglobulins: a possible mechanism of action in vascular diseases.

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) is increasingly used in the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, including vasculitides and Kawasaki disease. However, the outcome of IVIg interaction with endothelial cells of the vascular bed is not clear as yet. We have investigated the effect of IVIg on the in vitro activation of human endothelial cells, as assessed by cell proliferation and r...

The contribution of the vagus nerve in interleukin-1beta-induced fever is dependent on dose.

It has been suggested that proinflammatory cytokines communicate to the brain via a neural pathway involving activation of vagal afferents by interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), in addition to blood-borne routes. In support, subdiaphragmatic vagotomy blocks IL-1beta-induced, brain-mediated responses such as fever. However, vagotomy has also been reported to be ineffective. Neural signaling would be e...

Lipopolysaccharide, tumor necrosis factor alpha, or interleukin-1beta triggers reactivation of latent cytomegalovirus in immunocompetent mice.

We have previously shown that cytomegalovirus (CMV) can reactivate in lungs of nonimmunosuppressed patients during critical illness. Our recent work has shown that polymicrobial bacterial sepsis can trigger reactivation of latent murine CMV (MCMV). We hypothesize that MCMV reactivation following bacterial sepsis may be caused by inflammatory mediators. To test this hypothesis, BALB/c mice laten...

Interleukin-1beta modulates state-dependent discharge activity of preoptic area and basal forebrain neurons: role in sleep regulation.

Interleukin-1beta (IL-1) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that has been implicated in the regulation of nonrapid eye movement (nonREM) sleep. IL-1, IL-1 receptors and the IL-1 receptor antagonist (ra) are present normally in discrete brain regions, including the preoptic area (POA) of the hypothalamus and the adjoining magnocellular basal forebrain (BF). The POA/BF have been implicated in the reg...

Altered frequency responses of sympathetic nerve discharge bursts after IL-1beta and mild hypothermia.

Although interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) administration produces nonuniform changes in the level of sympathetic nerve discharge (SND), the effect of IL-1beta on the frequency-domain relationships between discharges in different sympathetic nerves is not known. Autospectral and coherence analyses were used to determine the effect of IL-1beta and mild hypothermia (60 min after IL-1beta, colonic temp...
