ABSTRACT
AIM To study the boosting effect of Maximin 2 on expression of HLA DR and HLA ABC by cultured bladder cancer cell lines and compare with TNF ??IFN ?. METHODS Cell culture and FCM were used to dectect the effects of Maximin 2,TNF and IFN on the cell growth of three types of bladder cancer cell lines and HLA DR and HLA ABC expression under the IC 50 culture concentration. RESULTS Maximin 2 had show inhibition to cells growth under the small dosage. TNF ??IFN ? also had the effect on restrain all 3 cell lines growth. The expression of HLA DR was not any change in all 3 cell lines after being stimulated by Maximin 2?TNF ? and IFN ?, Maximin 2 and TNF ? can not change HLA ABC expression, IFN ? can up regulate HLA ABC expression. CONCLUSION Maximin 2 show the dose dependent effect on cell growth suppression; The mechanism of antitumor of Maximin 2 seems not relate to the enhanced expression of HLA DR or HLA ABC, TNF ? and IFN ? also not found effect to HLA DR expression. Since IFN ? are able to increase the expression of HLA ABC expression,enhanced recognization and cytotoxity of CTL to bladder cancer cells. It is may be one of the mechanism of antitumor of IFN ?.
ABSTRACT
To investigate the dynamic changes in ICE mRNA expression and its relationship with IL 18 and IFN ? mRNA expression in thermal injured rats.The animals were subjected to a 30% total body surface area full thickness thermal injury,and fluid resuscitation was performed at 6 hours post burn. 54 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: normal controls,30% Ⅲ degree burn group,and selective decontamination of the digestive tract (SDD) treatment group. P1asma endotoxin was measured by limulus amebocyte lysate test,and tissue ICE,IL 18 and IFN ? mRNA expression was determined by reverse transcription po1ymerase chain reaction (RT PCR).The results showed that ICE, IL 18, and IFN ? mRNA expression significantly increased in the intestine,1ung,liver,and kidney at 2 hours,peaking at 8 hours,and a high level was maintained till 24 hours. However, treatment with SDD could lower plasma endotoxin levels,and markedly inhibit ICE, IL 18, and IFN ? mRNA expression in various organs.This study suggests that major burns can lead to a marked elevation of tissue ICE mRNA expression in vital organs,which might be associated with IL 18 and IFN ?mRNA expression induced by gut derived endotoxemia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the long term effect of nicotine on oxazolone (OXZ) induced murine colitis models pathologically and analyse the cytokine profile produced by colonic mucosa and splenocytes. Methods BALB/c mice was used, colitis model was induced by intrarectal injection of oxazolone; nicotine (0.5 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 ) was injected subcutaneously for three weeks. After being sacrificed, the colon and spleen were removed. Colonic changes were examined pathologically. The IFN ? and IL4 produced by colonic mucosa and splenocytes was analyzed with ELISA. The intracellular IFN ? and IL 4 produced by splenocytes were tested by FACScan. Results In nicotine group, the histological score was significantly lower than that of OXZ group (19.8 vs 23.7, P
ABSTRACT
Objective To find out the relationship between kidney- yang- deficiency syndrome and the Th1/Th2 expression, and to investigate the effect of kidney- yang warming therap yon the Th1/Th2 expression. Methods Kidney- yang- deficiency rat models were firstly induced by adenine and then were sensitizated by inhalation of ovalbumin to establish allergic rhinitis (AR)models .The treatment group was given Jinkui Shenqi pill. After treatment , the changes of behavior , secretion of nasal cavity and nasal mucosa were observed. The levels of Th1 cytokines IFN- ? , IL- 2 and Th2 cytokines IL- 4 , IL- 5 in serum were determined by ELISA. Results The behavioral score in AR group and kidney- yang- deficiency AR group was higher than that in the treatment group and normal control group ( P
ABSTRACT
AIM To study the effects of RAPA on lymphocyte proliferation induced by mitogen and in mixed lymphocyte reaction(MLR), and the effects on T subpopulation and the content of IL 2,IFN ?,TNF ? in mice. METHODS Lymphocyte proliferation induced by mitogens and MLR were detected with MTT colometeric assay. T cell subsets were measured with fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACs). IL 2,IFN ? and TNF ? were detected by ELISA and biological assay. RESULTS RAPA inhibited murine lymphocyte proliferation induced by Con A, PHA or LPS, and also inhibited lymphocyte proliferation stimulated in MLR. RAPA had no significant effect on murine spleenic T lymphocyte subpopulation. RAPA inhibited ConA induced production of IL 2 of IFN ? by murine splenocytes, but had not inhibited LPS induced TNF ? production by murine peritoneal macrophage. CONCLUSION The immunosuppressive mechanism of RAPA is distinct from CsA.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the influence and mechanism of thalidomide on bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor cells in multiple myeloma patients and in normal controls.Methods:Bone marrow GM CFU, E CFU and MK CFU from multiple myeloma patients and from normal controls were cultured in methylcellulose semisolid medium in vitro after being treated by different concentration of thalidomide. IFN ? and TNF ? concentration in cell suspension of bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor cells from multiple myeloma patients and from normal controls were measured by ELISA.Results:Thalidomide inhibited GM CFU in multiple myeloma patients and in normal controls at concentration higher than 200 and 100 ?g/ml, respectively, and inhibited MK CFU in multiple myeloma patients and in normal controls at concentration higher than 300 ?g/ml and 150 ?g/ml, respectively. However, there was no significantly influence of thalidomide on E CFU in multiple myeloma patients and in normal controls at concentration between 10 and 400 ?g/ml. Thalidomide increased IFN ? concentration in cell suspension of bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor cells from multiple myeloma patients and from normal controls at concentration greater than 100 and 200 ?g/ml, respectively. The level of thalidomide of higher than 300 ?g/ml reduced TNF ? concentration in cell suspension of bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor cells from multiple myeloma patients.Conclusion:Different concentrations of thalidomide have different influences on the hematopoietic function of bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor cells in multiple myeloma patients and in normal controls, probably mediated through increased IFN ? by thalidomide.
