Inhibition of phorbol myristate acetate and phytohemagglutinin stimulation of human lymphocytes by retinol.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Retinol (vitamin A) in concentrations above (5 microgram/ml inhibits the stimulation of human lymphocytes by phytohemagglutinin and phorbol myristate acetate. This is in contrast to bovine lymphocytes in which retinol inhibits only phorbol myristate acetate stimulation of lymphocytes. The cause of the inhibition does not appear to be due to a direct toxic action because the viability and ultrastructure of lymphocytes exposed to a concentration of 20 microgram/ml for 72 hr were normal. The mechanism of action of the retinol is not known, but it may be mediated by a retinol-binding protein in the cells.

Sub-mitogenic phorbol myristate acetate co-stimulation rescues the PHA-induced activation of both naïve and memory T cells cultured in the rotating-wall vessel bioreactor.
T lymphocytes are unresponsive to T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation during culture in spaceflight or ground-based microgravity analogs such as the rotating-wall vessel (RWV) bioreactor. The TCR-induced activation of a subset of T cells can be rescued in the RWV by co-stimulation with sub-mitogenic doses of phorbol ester (PMA). We report that PMA co-stimulation of primary human T cells cultured ...
متن کاملExpression Pattern of Interferon-γ in Human Leukemic T Cell Lines Following Treatment with Phytoheamagglutinin, phorbol myristate acetate and Lipopolysaccharide
Background: As a T helper type 1 (Th1) derived cytokine, Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) is an important regulator of inflammatory immune responses. Furthermore, IFN-γ plays an essential role in defense against tumors and intracellular pathogens. This study was designed to assess the pattern of IFN-γ production in human leukemic (Jurkat and Molt-4) T cell lines in vitro. Methods: Ju...
متن کاملThree-color flow cytometry detection of intracellular cytokines in peripheral blood mononuclear cells: comparative analysis of phorbol myristate acetate-ionomycin and phytohemagglutinin stimulation.
The assessment of intracellular cytokines at the single-cell level by flow cytometry has recently become a potent tool in many areas of cell biology and in defining the role of cytokines in various human diseases. Three-color flow cytometry for detection of intracellular cytokines combined with simultaneous determination of lymphocytes (CD3(+) and CD4(+)) or monocytes (CD33(+) and CD14(+)) was ...
متن کاملPhorbol myristate acetate: a mitogen selective for a T-lymphocyte subpopulation
Phorbol myristate acetate (pma) is a potent mitogen for human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) comparable to phytohemagglutinin (PHA) in potency. Inactivation of PHA-responsive lymphocytes by 5'-bromodeoxyuridine and light treatment left the PMA response intact and nice versa. Experiments separating lymphocytes by rosetting with sheep erythrocytes (SRBC) demonstrated that the PMA-responsive l...
متن کاملThe role of class I histocompatibility antigens in the regulation of T-cell activation.
Class I major histocompatibility antigens in humans (HLA antigens) were found to participate in the regulation of T-cell activation and proliferation induced by phytohemagglutinin. W6/32, a monomorphic antibody directed against class I HLA-A,B,C antigens, significantly inhibited the phytohemagglutinin-induced cell proliferation of peripheral blood lymphocytes. Almost complete suppression of cel...
