neuropeptides (sp and cgrp) augment il-1 beta production in hsv-infected macrophages
Authors
abstract
neuropeptides, possessing specific and functional receptors on various cells of the immune system, have the potential to regulate immune responses; and the macrophages as important components of defense against various agents, are at their influence. in this study the effect of neuropeptides substance p (sp) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (cgrp) on il-1 beta production by herpes sim¬plex type-1 (hsv-1 )-infected and also uninfected mouse peritoneal macrophages were considered. each neuropeptide separately has upregulated il-1 beta produc¬tion by hsv-1 infected macrophages with the greatest effect at the concentrations of 10'9m for both sp and cgrp, but no synergistic effect on il-1 production has been observed in the presence of both neuropeptides at optimal concentrations. il-ip production by uninfected macrophages was also moderately enhanced in the presence of each neuropeptide, but not in the presence of both neuropeptides simultaneously. it can be concluded that il-1 s3 production, which is part of mac¬rophage mediated inflammatory response to hsv-1, is enhanced by specific doses of neuropeptides.

Kinetics of Nitric Oxide Production and MTT Reduction by HSV-1 Infected Macrophages
Background: Macrophages have important role in defense against Herpes Simplex Virus type-1 (HSV-1). The present study was performed to determine the viability and nitric oxide (NO) production by HSV-1 infected mouse peritoneal macrophages (HIM). Method: The viability of macrophages was evaluated using MTT reduction assay and the production of nitrite using Griess method. Results: The ability of...

In situ production of interleukin 1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) and IL-1 beta was investigated in Peyer's patches (PP) of mice undergoing an acute bacterial infection with Yersinia enterocolitica O8. Synthesis of IL-1 beta, as determined by immunohistochemistry, was found primarily in monocytes migrating into the inflamed PP. In comparison, synthesis of IL-1 alpha was temporarily delayed by at least 24 ...

Monocytes and macrophages play a significant role in host's defense system, since they produce a number of cytokines in response to microbial infections. We have studied IL-1 beta, IL-18, IFN-alpha/beta, and TNF-alpha gene expression and protein production in human primary monocytes and GM-CSF-differentiated macrophages during influenza A and Sendai virus infections. Virus-infected monocytes re...

Pathogens infecting mammalian cells have developed various strategies to suppress and evade their hosts’ defensive mechanisms. In this line, the intracellular bacteria that are able to survive and propagate within their host cells must have developed strategies to avert their host’s killing attitude. Studying the interface of host-pathogen confrontation can provide valuable information for defi...

We investigated whether IL-10 produced endogenously would influence the development of HSV-1-induced acute corneal disease. Murine corneal epithelial cells and fibroblasts cultured in vitro expressed IL-10 mRNA and protein constitutively and also IL-10 receptors. Inclusion of IL-10 neutralizing antibody in the culture medium significantly (p<0.05) enhanced TNF-alpha-induced IL-6 and MIP-2 produ...
