PURPOSE To determine the effects of the potent anti-inflammatory Th2 cytokines, interleukin (IL)-4, -10, and -13, on IL-8 and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP) 1 production by human retinal pigment epithelial (HRPE) cells, monocytes, and HRPE cell-monocyte cocultures. METHODS Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were performed to determine IL-8 and MCP-1 secretion by HRPE cells, monocytes, and HRPE cell-monocyte cocultures stimulated with IL-1beta or TNF-alpha, either alone, or in combination with IL-4, -10, or -13, at various time points. RESULTS IL-4 and -13, but not IL-10, enhanced constitutive and TNF-alpha-induced HRPE IL-8 and MCP-1 secretion. IL-4 also enhanced IL-1beta-induced HRPE IL-8. IL-4 and -13 reduced monocyte IL-8 and MCP-1, whereas IL-10 reduced monocyte IL-8 but enhanced MCP-1. Overlay of monocytes onto HRPE cell cultures resulted in increased IL-8 and MCP-1 secretion. IL-8 secretion by HRPE cell-monocyte cocultures was inhibited by IL-4, -10, and -13, whereas MCP-1 was inhibited only by IL-10. These cytokines also inhibited IL-1beta potentiation of IL-8, but not MCP-1 secretion by cocultures. IL-4 enhanced TNF-alpha potentiation of chemokine secretion by cocultures, whereas IL-10 had no effects. IL-13 potentiated TNF-alpha-induced MCP-1, but not IL-8 secretion by cocultures. CONCLUSIONS IL-4, -10 and -13 have complex effects on chemokine secretion by HRPE cells, monocytes, and HRPE cell-monocyte cocultures. IL-10 appears to be the most consistently suppressive cytokine, suggesting potential therapeutic usefulness of IL-10 in the treatment of ocular inflammatory and proliferative diseases.

Chemokine expression in retinal pigment epithelial ARPE-19 cells in response to coculture with activated T cells.

PURPOSE To investigate the effects of T-cell-derived cytokines on gene and protein expression of chemokines in a human RPE cell line (ARPE-19). METHODS We used an in vitro coculture system in which the RPE and CD3/CD28-activated T-cells were separated by a membrane. RPE cell expression of chemokine genes was quantified using three different types of microarrays. Protein expression was determi...

Effect of the monocyte locomotion inhibitory factor (MLIF) produced by E. histolityca on cytokines and chemokine receptors in T CD4+ lymphocytes.

Entamoeba histolytica produces Monocyte Locomotion Inhibitory Factor (MLIF), which may contribute to the delayed inflammation observed in amoebic hepatic abscesses. Leukocytes are affected through the modulation of cytokine expression and/or production. We evaluated the effects of MLIF on the activation and production of intracellular cytokines in human CD4+ T lymphocytes by flow cytometry. Cel...

Chemokine responses in schistosomal antigen-elicited granuloma formation.

Host immune systems have evolved specialized responses to multicellular parasites. This is well represented by the type 2 granulomatous response to Schistosoma mansoni egg antigens, which is an eosinophil-rich inflammatory response mediated by Th2-associated cytokines. Using Ag-bead models of pulmonary granuloma formation in mice, we defined characteristic chemokine (CK) profiles in the granulo...

CXCR4 receptor expression on human retinal pigment epithelial cells from the blood-retina barrier leads to chemokine secretion and migration in response to stromal cell-derived factor 1 alpha.

Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells form part of the blood-retina barrier and have recently been shown to produce various chemokines in response to proinflammatory cytokines. As the scope of chemokine action has been shown to extend beyond the regulation of leukocyte migration, we have investigated the expression of chemokine receptors on RPE cells to determine whether they could be a target...

Immunomodulatory mediators from pollen enhance the migratory capacity of dendritic cells and license them for Th2 attraction.

The immune response of atopic individuals against allergens is characterized by increased levels of Th2 cytokines and chemokines. However, the way in which the cytokine/chemokine profile is matched to the type of invading allergen, and why these profiles sometimes derail and lead to disease, is not well understood. We recently demonstrated that pollen modulates dendritic cell (DC) function in a...
