Inflammatory bowel disease has been linked to elevated T cells. Excessive production of reactive oxygen species and apoptosis are known to be accompanied by intestinal inflammation. This study was designed to investigate the effects of melatonin (MEL) and erythropoietin (EPO), which is a known anti‐inflammatory and antiapoptotic agent, in dinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (DNBS)–induced colitis in pinealectomized (Px) rats. In microscopically results, epithelial and goblet cell loss, absence of crypts, and increased colonic caspase‐3 activity were observed in the DNBS group. Also, in flow cytometric analysis, the percentage of CD4+ T cells was highest in the DNBS group. Treatment with MEL or EPO had a curative effect on DNBS‐induced colitis. The MEL + EPO groups showed significantly greater improvement when compared with the other treatment groups. Our results indicate that the combination of EPO and MEL may exert more beneficial effects than either agent used alone. 相似文献

Adenosine modulates the immune system and inhibits inflammation via reduction of cytokine biosynthesis and neutrophil functions. Drugs able to prevent adenosine catabolism could represent an innovative strategy to treat inflammatory bowel disorders. In this study, the effects of 4-amino-2-(2-hydroxy-1-decyl)pyrazole[3,4-d]pyrimidine (APP; novel adenosine deaminase inhibitor), erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)adenine hydrochloride (EHNA; standard adenosine deaminase inhibitor), and dexamethasone were tested in rats with colitis induced by 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (DNBS). DNBS-treated animals received APP (5, 15, or 45 micromol/kg), EHNA (10, 30, or 90 micromol/kg), or dexamethasone (0.25 micromol/kg) i.p. for 7 days starting 1 day before colitis induction. DNBS caused bowel inflammation associated with decrease in food intake and body weight. Animals treated with APP or EHNA, but not dexamethasone, displayed greater food intake and weight gain than inflamed rats. Colitis induced increment in spleen weight, which was counteracted by all test drugs. DNBS administration was followed by macroscopic and microscopic inflammatory colonic alterations, which were ameliorated by APP, EHNA, or dexamethasone. In DNBS-treated rats, colonic myeloperoxidase, malondialdehyde, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha levels as well as plasma TNF-alpha and interleukin-6 were increased. All test drugs lowered these phlogistic indexes. Inflamed colonic tissues displayed an increment of inducible nitric-oxide synthase mRNA, which was unaffected by APP or EHNA, but reduced by dexamethasone. Cyclooxygenase-2 expression was unaffected by DNBS or test drugs. These findings indicate that 1) inhibition of adenosine deaminase results in a significant attenuation of intestinal inflammation and 2) the novel compound APP is more effective than EHNA in reducing systemic and intestinal inflammatory alterations. 相似文献

Small intestine permeability is frequently altered in inflammatory bowel diseases and may be caused by the translocation of intestinal toxins through leaky small intestine tight junctions (TJs) and adherence. Thus, the aim of the present study was to examine the effects of thalidomide treatment on the permeability and structure of small intestine TJs in an animal model of experimental colitis induced by dinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (DNBS). Four days after colitis induction with DNBS, the ileal TJs were studied by means of transmission electron microscopy using lanthanum nitrate and immunohistochemistry of occludin and zonula occludens 1. When compared with DNBS-treated mice, thalidomide-treated (200 mg/kg orally starting 30 min after the administration of DNBS) mice subjected to DNBS-induced colitis experienced a significantly reduced rate of the extent and severity of the histological signs of colon injury associated with a significant reduction of plasma and colon tumor necrosis factor alpha levels. After administration of DNBS to the mice induced a significant increase of ileal permeability was observed. Distal colitis in mice induced an increase of TJ permeability throughout the entire small intestine, and the extent of alterations correlates with colonic damage. In particular, we have observed that thalidomide treatment resulted in a significant reduction of the following: (1) the degree of colon injury, (2) the alteration of zonula occludens 1 and occludin localization (immunohistochemistry), and (3) intestinal permeability caused by DNBS in the colon. Taken together, our results clearly show that thalidomide treatment reduced small intestinal permeability in experimental colitis through the regulation of TJ protein. 相似文献

Microcirculatory disturbances of the colon may contribute to the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease. The aim of the study was to investigate the alterations of rectal blood perfusion in experimental colitis with reference to nitric oxide and heparin treatment. The study was carried out on 36 rats, divided into six groups: group I, control; group II, control ± NG-nitro-L-arginine (L-MA); group III, colitis without treatment; group IV, colitis ± L-arginine; group V, colitis ± L-MA; group VI, colitis ± heparin treatment. Experimental colitis was induced by 4% acetic acid enema, and 48 h after the enema, besides the measurement of rectal capillary blood flow by means of laser Doppler flowery, the serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) level and histopathological alterations within the rectal mucks were examined. Experimental colitis resulted in a drop in rectal wall perfusion. L-Arginine and heparin treatment improved the microcirculatory values. The highest IL-6 level and the most advanced histopathological alterations were observed in the rats treated with L-NNA. L-Arginine treatment had no influence on IL-6 concentration, however it aggravated the inflammatory changes within the rectal mucosa. Heparin administration reduced the IL-6 values and also had a positive impact on the microscopic alterations within the rectal wall. It is concluded that heparin treatment has a beneficial effect on the microcirculatory disturbances and inflammatory changes observed in experimental colitis. The inhibition of nitric oxide-synthase aggravated the course of experimental colitis. L-Arginine administration improves the rectal blood flow but aggravates the histopathological alterations within the rectal wall. 相似文献

Carboxyamidotrizole (CAI) has been reported to suppress the production of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-1β and be effective in rats with adjuvant arthritis. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of CAI in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We assessed the effect of CAI in dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis. Inflammation was scored histologically, and potential mediators of IBD were assessed by immunohistochemical and molecular biochemical approaches. CAI-treated colitis animals revealed much fewer signs of colitis with significantly decreased macroscopic and microscopic scores than vehicle-treated animals. CAI inhibited the production of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in serum, supernatant of peritoneal macrophages, and lamina propria. CAI also decreased the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 in colonic tissues. Furthermore, CAI prevented nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation and inhibitor of nuclear factor-κBα phosphorylation and degradation. In addition, CAI showed a beneficial effect on colonic fibrosis, possibly by reducing the production of the fibrogenic cytokine transforming growth factor-β. The results support that CAI administration is effective in ameliorating experimental colitis and preventing colonic fibrosis. The inhibition of proinflammatory cytokines and adhesion molecules and suppression of NF-κB activation seem to contribute to this effect. 相似文献

Background There is a pressing need for research that will lead to the development of new therapeutic approaches for treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of tropisetron, a 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)-3 receptor antagonist with anti-inflammatory properties in a model of experimental colitis in rat.
Materials and methods Acetic acid model of colitis in rats was used. Colitis was induced by intracolonal instillation of 4% (v/v) acetic acid. One hour after induction of colitis, intraperitoneal (IP) or intrarectal (IR) tropisetron (2 mg kg−1 , either route) or dexamethasone (1 mg kg−1 , either route) was administered. The severity of colitis was assessed 24 h later using macroscopic and microscopic changes of damaged colon, measurement of inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β, interleukin-6 and tumour necrosis factor-α levels and oxidative stress markers myeloperoxidase (MPO) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in colonic tissues.
Results Tropisetron decreased colonic macroscopic and microscopic damage scores. This was associated with significant reduction in both neutrophil infiltration indicated by decreased colonic MPO activity and lipid peroxidation measured by MDA content, as well as a decreased colonic inflammatory cytokines. IR tropisetron decreased colonic damage that was associated with decreased neutrophil infiltration, lipid peroxidation and colonic inflammatory cytokines. Beneficial effects of tropisetron were lower than those of dexamethasone. No significant differences were observed between IP and IR administration with the exception of MDA level more diminished by IP tropisetron and dexamethasone.
Conclusions Tropisetron exert beneficial effects in experimental rat colitis and therefore might be useful in the treatment of IBD. 相似文献

We demonstrated previously that basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) accelerated the healing of experimental duodenal ulcers, and we now hypothesize that bFGF might also accelerate the healing of experimental ulcerative colitis (UC). We also explored the potential molecular mechanisms involved in the accelerated healing of UC in rats treated with bFGF. The results demonstrated that colonic lesions were significantly reduced by bFGF treatment, whereas neutralization of bFGF aggravated iodoacetamide-induced UC. Protein expression of bFGF was increased during the healing stage of UC. Tumor necrosis factor-α levels and myeloperoxidase activity were significantly decreased in UC rats treated with bFGF, whereas they increased in rats treated with anti-bFGF antibody. Real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry showed decreased levels of p27 in the UC rats compared with the healthy controls, which was reversed by bFGF treatment in a dose-dependent manner. By immunohistochemistry and double labeling of Ki-67 and CD34, prominent positive staining of Ki-67 and CD34 was seen after bFGF treatment, indicating the enhanced proliferation of fibroblasts and epithelial and endothelial cells, i.e., angiogenesis. We conclude that bFGF plays a beneficial role in the healing of UC in rats. The molecular mechanisms of bFGF in UC healing not only involve the expected increased cell proliferation, especially angiogenesis, but also encompass the reduction of inflammatory cytokines and infiltration of inflammatory cells. Thus, bFGF enema may be a new therapeutic option for UC. 相似文献

Absence of functional peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha enhanced ileum permeability during experimental colitis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The aim of the present study was to examine the role of endogenous peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-alpha) ligand on the permeability and structure of small intestine tight junctions (TJs) in an animal model of experimental colitis, induced by dinitrobenzene sulfuric acid (DNBS). Four days after colitis induction with DNBS, the ileal TJs were studied by means of transmission electron microscopy using lanthanum nitrate and immunohistochemistry of occludin, zonula occludens 1, and claudin 2. Administration of DNBS to wild-type mice induced colon injury associated with a significant increase of plasma and colon tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels and with a significant increase of ileal permeability. Distal colitis in mice induced an increase of TJ permeability throughout the entire small intestine, and the extent of alterations correlates with colonic damage. Small intestinal permeability was associated with the presence of apoptosis (evaluated by FAS ligand expression and terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated UTP nick end labeling coloration), which was associated with a significantly increased expression of proapoptotic Bax and decreased ileum content of antiapoptotic Bcl-2. Absence of a functional PPAR-alpha gene in PPAR-alpha knockout mice resulted in a significant augmentation of all the above-described parameters. Taken together, our results clearly demonstrate that endogenous PPAR-alpha ligands reduced small intestinal permeability in experimental colitis through the regulation of apoptosis and TJ protein. 相似文献

This study was designed to follow the time course of inflammatory activation in a rodent model of 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis. We hypothesized that oral phosphatidylcholine (PC) pretreatment regimens may influence leukocyte-mediated microcirculatory reactions in this condition. In series I, Wistar rats were monitored 1 day after colitis induction (n = 24), and in series II (n = 24) on day 6 following a TNBS enema. The PC-pretreated animals received a 2% PC-enriched diet for 6 days before the TNBS enema (series I), or for 3 days before and 3 days after TNBS treatment (series II). The macrohemodynamics, serosal microcirculation (visualized by intravital videomicroscopy), colonic xanthine oxidoreductase, myeloperoxidase and nitric oxide end products, and changes in proinflammatory cytokine levels in plasma were measured. The mucosal structural injury was monitored in vivo by means of confocal laser scanning endomicroscopy. The TNBS enema induced a systemic hyperdynamic circulatory reaction with increased serosal capillary blood flow and significantly elevated colonic inflammatory enzyme activities, levels of nitric oxide production, and cytokine concentrations. Acute colitis caused disruption of the capillary network, whereas the morphologic damage was less severe in series II. The PC pretreatment protocols led to significant decreases in the serosal hyperemic reaction, the cytokine levels, and the inflammatory enzyme activities. The objective signs of tissue damage were reduced in both series, and the number of mucus-producing goblet cells in the resolving phase of colitis was increased. Dietary PC efficiently decreases the cytokine-mediated progression of inflammatory events and preserves the microvascular structure in the large intestine. 相似文献

The immunological and genetic pathogeneses of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have been well studied but not well elucidated in the recent years. Accordingly, the pharmacological treatment of IBDs is focusing upon the individual pathologic step (targeting therapy). It has been shown recently that new drugs such as biological immunomodulating agents and anti-inflammatory cytokines have better short-term effects in some respects than the conventional drugs, and they might change the treatment strategy of IBDs in the near future. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of thalidomide treatment in the development of experimental colitis. To address this question, we used an experimental model of colitis, induced by dinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (DNBS). DNBS-treated mice experienced diarrhea and weight loss. At 4 days after administration of DNBS, the mucosa of the colon exhibited large areas of necrosis. The observed mucosa alteration was associated with the colon production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1beta, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Neutrophil infiltration (determined by histology as well as an increase in myeloperoxidase activity in the mucosa) was associated with an upregulation of intercellular adhesion molecule-1. Immunohistochemistry for nitrotyrosine and poly (ADP ribose) showed an intense staining in the inflamed colon. When compared with DNBS-treated mice, thalidomide-treated (200 mg/kg orally) mice subjected to DNBS-induced colitis experienced a significantly lower rate in the extent and severity of the histological signs of colon injury. Thalidomide also caused a substantial reduction of the rise in myeloperoxidase activity (mucosa), in the increase in the tissue levels of TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and VEGF, in the increase in staining (immunohistochemistry) for nitrotyrosine and for poly (ADP ribose), as well as in the upregulation of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 caused by DNBS in the colon. Thus, thalidomide treatment reduces the degree of colitis caused by DNBS. We propose that this evidence may help to clarify the therapeutic actions of thalidomide in patients with Crohn's disease. 相似文献

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic recurrent inflammatory bowel disease in which oxidative stress has been implicated. The aim of the present study was to evaluate possible protective effects of N-acetylcysteine against acetic acid-induced colitis in a rat model. Rats were administered intrarectal saline (control group) or acetic acid (colitis model group). Rats with acetic acid-induced colitis were treated by intraperitoneal or intrarectal administration of N-acetylcysteine (500 mg/kg) (treated group). Another series of rats were pre-treated by intraperitoneal or intrarectal administration of N-acetylcysteine, then administered intrarectal acetic acid (pre-treated group). The degree of tissue injuries was assessed by macroscopical and histopathological scores of the colonic mucosa. Malondialdehyde, myeloperoxidase, reduced glutathione, superoxide dismutase, and catalase levels were measured in tissue extracts of the dissected colon. Administration of N-acetylcysteine intraperitoneally or intrarectally ameliorated macroscopic score alterations produced by acetic acid in treated groups. In addition, microscopical improvement was observed in all N-acetylcysteine-treated rats compared to untreated animals with colitis. In the colonic tissues of the acetic acid-induced colitis, myeloperoxidase activity and malondialdehyde levels were elevated, while the reduced glutathione levels and superoxide dismutase and catalase activities were decreased. However, intraperitoneal or intrarectal treatment with N-acetylcysteine reversed these parameters, compared to the untreated colitis group. Notably, intrarectal administration of N-acetylcysteine elevated the reduced glutathione levels more markedly compared to the other treatment groups. Superoxide dismutase levels were increased in intraperitoneally or intrarectally N-acetylcysteine-treated groups significantly compared to the control, colitis and pre-treated groups. But there was no significant increase in catalase activity. In conclusion, N-acetylcysteine could be beneficial as a complementary agent in treatment of ulcerative colitis. 相似文献

An evaluation of the significance of microscopic colitis in patients with chronic diarrhea. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Some patients with chronic idiopathic diarrhea have an apparent nonspecific inflammation of colonic mucosa, even though their colons appear normal by barium enema and colonoscopy. This has been referred to as microscopic colitis. However, the significance of this finding is unclear, because the ability of pathologists to accurately distinguish mild degrees of abnormality has not been established. Furthermore, even if the mucosa of these patients is nonspecifically inflamed, it is not known whether this is associated with deranged colonic function that could contribute to the development of chronic diarrhea. To assess these questions, we first examined colonic biopsy specimens in a blinded fashion, comparing biopsy results from patients with microscopic colitis with biopsy specimens from subjects in two control groups. This analysis revealed that colonic mucosa from six patients with microscopic colitis was in fact abnormal. For example, their mucosa contained an excess of both neutrophiles and round cells in the lamina propria, cryptitis, and reactive changes. These and other differences were statistically significant. Second, colonic absorption, measured by the steady state nonabsorbable marker perfusion method, was severely depressed in the patients. For example, mean water absorption rate was 159 ml/h in normal subjects and was reduced to only 26 ml/h in six patients with microscopic colitis. Results of net and unidirectional electrolyte fluxes and of electrical potential difference suggested that colonic fluid absorption was abnormal because of reduced active and passive sodium and chloride absorption and because of reduced Cl/HCO3 exchange. Small intestinal fluid and electrolyte absorption was abnormally reduced in two of the six patients, suggesting the possibility of coexistent small intestinal involvement in some of these patients. We conclude that nonspecific inflammation of colonic mucosa is associated with a severe reduction of colonic fluid absorption, and that the latter probably contributes to the development of chronic diarrhea. 相似文献

Caffeic acid phenethyl ester, an inhibitor of nuclear factor-kappaB, attenuates bacterial peptidoglycan polysaccharide-induced colitis in rats. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
L R Fitzpatrick J Wang T Le 《The Journal of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics》2001,299(3):915-920
Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) is an anti-inflammatory component of propolis (honeybee resin). CAPE is reportedly a specific inhibitor of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB). The aims of our study were 1) to evaluate the effect of CAPE on cytokine production, NF-kappaB, and apoptosis in two cell lines; 2) to assess the effect of CAPE on NF-kappaB in rats with peptidoglycan-polysaccharide (PG-PS)-induced colitis; and 3) to evaluate the efficacy of CAPE against this colitis. In vitro experiments used rat macrophage (NR8383) and colonic epithelial cell (SW620) lines. NF-kappaB was evaluated by electrophoretic mobility shift assay. Cytokines and apoptosis were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Colitis was induced by intramural injections of PG-PS into the distal colon. CAPE (30 mg/kg) or vehicle was administered once daily to rats by intraperitoneal injection, for 1 week. Various macroscopic and biochemical indices were measured on day 21. CAPE (30 microg/ml) significantly inhibited NF-kappaB and TNF-alpha production in the macrophage cell line. In macrophages, CAPE significantly increased DNA fragmentation. CAPE exhibited generally similar effects in the colonic epithelial cell line. CAPE treatment reduced the mean level of colonic NF-kappaB in rats. CAPE also induced a significant reduction in gross colonic injury. Moreover, colonic cytokine levels (TNF-alpha and IL-1beta) were significantly reduced in CAPE-treated rats. In summary, CAPE inhibits NF-kappaB, causes a reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokine production, and induces apoptosis in macrophages. These mechanisms likely contributed to the attenuation of PG-PS-induced colitis by CAPE. 相似文献

Prostaglandins exert a protective effect on colonic mucosa in experimentally induced colitis. This study investigated the effect of enprostil, a prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) analogue, on trinitrobenzenesulphonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis in rats. Each rat received a rectal enema containing TNBS (30 mg), followed 24 h later by intrarectal once-daily enprostil (200 microg). Enprostil-treated and control rats were killed on day 3 (enprostil group, n = 5; control, n = 6) or day 10 (enprostil group, n = 5; control, n = 5) after TNBS treatment. The area of damaged mucosa of the colon was measured relative to the total colonic area. We also determined the macroscopic score of mucosal damage, and measured PGE2, 6-keto-prostaglandin F1alpha (6-keto-PGF1alpha) and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) concentration in portal vein blood samples. Enprostil significantly reduced both the area of damaged mucosa (including the ulcer area) and the macroscopic score after 3 days' treatment compared with control. Similarly, enprostil significantly reduced plasma concentration of PGE2, 6-keto-PGF1alpha and TXB2 during the acute phase at day 3 of treatment compared with control, but not at day 10. These results suggest that PGE2 enema may have therapeutic potential for treating patients with proctitis or left-sided colitis. 相似文献

5-lipoxygenase modulates the alteration of paracellular barrier function in mice ileum during experimental colitis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Small intestine permeability is frequently altered in inflammatory bowel disease and may be caused by the translocation of intestinal toxins through leaky small intestine tight junctions (TJs) and adherence. Recently, it has been shown that 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) plays an important role in the development of various inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. In the present study, by comparing the responses in wild-type mice (5-LOWT) with those of mice lacking the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOKO), we investigated the role played by this enzyme in the permeability and structure of small intestine TJs in an animal model of experimental colitis. To address this question, we used an experimental model of colitis, induced by dinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (DNBS). Four days after colitis induction by DNBS, the ileal TJs were studied by means of transmission electron microscopy using lanthanum nitrate and immunohistochemistry of occludin and ZO-1. When compared with DNBS-treated 5-LOWT mice, DNBS-treated 5-LOKO mice experienced a reduced rate of the extent and severity of the histological signs of colon injury. After administration of DNBS, 5-LOWT mice showed a significant increase of ileal permeability (88.3% +/- 1.2%) compared with sham (5.6% +/- 0.5%). In colitis, the percentage of "leaky" junctions in terminal ilea correlated positively with the macroscopic colon damage score. Distal colitis in 5-LOWT mice induces an increase of TJ permeability throughout the entire small intestine, and the extent of alterations correlates with colonic damage. On the contrary, a significant reduction of (1) the degree of colon injury, (2) the alteration of ZO-1 and occludin localization (immunohistochemistry), and (3) ileal permeability (8.1% +/- 0.7%) caused by DNBS in the colon was observed in 5-LOKO mice. Similarly, the treatment of 5-LOWT with zileuton (50 mg/kg per oral gavage twice a day), a 5-LO inhibitor, resulted in a significant reduction of all the previously described parameters. Taken together, our results clearly demonstrate that 5-LO modulates small intestinal permeability in experimental colitis through the regulation of TJ protein. 相似文献

Interleukin 8 (IL-8), a potent activator of neutrophils, may be important in the early host response to serious Gram-negative infections. IL-8 was measured with other acute phase cytokines (tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-alpha], IL-6 and IL-1 beta) in 25 normal humans randomized to receive either intravenous endotoxin alone or endotoxin after oral administration of ibuprofen or pentoxifylline, agents that alter some of the inflammatory responses induced by endotoxin in vitro. TNF immunoreactivity was maximum at 1.5 h, and total TNF (area under the curve) was 4.2- and 4.5-fold greater in subjects given endotoxin/ibuprofen compared to subjects given endotoxin alone (p = 0.026) or endotoxin/pentoxifylline (p = 0.004), respectively. IL-6 levels were maximum at 2-3 h and did not differ among the three groups. No IL-1 beta was detected in any subject. IL-8 levels peaked at 2 h in subjects given either endotoxin alone or endotoxin/pentoxifylline, falling towards baseline by 5 h. Subjects given endotoxin/ibuprofen had a more sustained rise in IL-8 with peak levels 2.8- and 2.5-fold higher at 3 h compared to endotoxin alone (p = 0.048) or endotoxin/pentoxifylline (p = 0.023), respectively. Differences in total IL-8 release among groups approached statistical significance (ANOVA, p = 0.07). This trend reflected the increased release of IL-8 by the subjects receiving ibuprofen compared to pentoxifylline (1.9-fold higher; p = 0.024). This suggests that cyclooxygenase products may provide important negative feedback loops for cytokine production in vivo. Increases in circulating IL-8 are part of the acute inflammatory response of humans to endotoxin. Altered cytokine responses caused by antiinflammatory therapy may have important implications for both host defense and injury during septicemia. 相似文献
