Induction of Interleukin Synergistic Action
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thymocyte cultures from C3H/HeJ mice were stimulated for proliferative responses with purified preparations of interleukin 1 (IL 1) and interleukin 2 (IL 2). Synergistic responses were obtained in the absence of mitogen. In the presence of excess IL 2. the thymocyte proliferation response was strictly dependent on the amount of IL 1 in the cultures. Antibodies to IL 1 inhibited the response in a dosedependent manner. The combination of IL 1 plus IL 2 induced the appearance of IL 2 receptors on murine thymocytes as detected with a monoclonal antibody directed against the IL 2 receptor. Neither IL 1 nor IL 2 alone had this effect. The thymic subpopulation found to become IL 2 responsive upon IL 1 stimulus was the peanut agglutinin-negative (PNA-) medullary fraction.

Interleukin-1 alpha upregulates tumor necrosis factor receptors expressed by a human bone marrow stromal cell strain: implications for cytokine redundancy and synergy.
To explore the biochemical and physiologic basis of the overlapping effects of interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) on myeloid cytokine production, we have studied the dynamics of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and granulocyte-monocyte colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) production as well as IL-1 receptor and TNF receptor expression in a cl...
متن کاملSynergistic Effect of Endurance Training Combined with Curcumin on Intratumoral Expression of Interleukin-4 (Il4) and Stat-6 in Female Mice with Breast Cancer
Introduction: The Il4/Stat-6 signaling axis is one of the most important pathways involved in the growth and development of breast cancer. Hence, the aim of the present study was to investigate the synergistic effect of endurance training along with curcumin on the intratumoral expression of Il4 and Stat-6 in female BALB/c mice with breast cancer. Methods: Forty BALB/c mice (4-5 weeks old) were...
متن کاملMode of fibroblast growth enhancement by human interleukin-1
Previous studies have demonstrated that interleukin-1 (IL-1) stimulates fibroblast growth (Schmidt, J. A., S. B. Mizel, D. Cohn, and I. Green. 1982. J. Immunol. 128:2177-2182) and binds to specific, high affinity receptors of BALB/c3T3 cells (Bird, T. A., and J. Saklatval. 1986. Nature (Lond.). 324:263-265, 266-268). We have investigated the mechanism of fibroblast growth stimulation by IL-1. A...

BACKGROUND Human rhinoviruses (HRVs) and house dust mites (HDMs) are among the most common environmental factors able to induce airway inflammation in asthma. Although epidemiological studies suggest that they also synergize in inducing asthma exacerbations, there is no experimental evidence to support this, nor any information on the possible mechanisms involved. OBJECTIVE To investigate the...
متن کاملCells Mediate Synergistic Induction of Interleukin 6 in MCF-7 Inflammatory Signaling and Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor
The pleiotropic cytokine interleukin 6 (IL-6) is involved in immune cell homeostasis. Additionally, IL-6 expression and signaling in tumor cells have been shown to elicit both protumor and antitumor properties. There is a plethora of mechanistic knowledge regarding how IL-6 signal transduction translates to biological responses. However, there is little understanding as to what factors control ...
