ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of the compound T0 extracted from Tripterygium wilfordii, a traditional Chinese herb, in comparison with those of cyclosporin A(CyA), on down- regulating the expression and activities of IL- 1 and IL- 2. Methods The cellular reactive systems of peritoneal macrophage (rat)- thymocytes (rat), and spleen cells (rat)- CTLL- 2 (mouse) were set up. The technique of 3H- TdR incorporation was applied. Results The production of IL- 1 and IL- 2 were significantly inhibited by T0 and CyA. The activities of IL- 1 and IL- 2 were down- regulated by T0,rather than by CyA. Conclusion T0 and CyA are potent inhibitors of the production of IL- 1 and IL- 2. Effects of T0 on the activities of IL- 1 and IL- 2 are different from those of CyA.
