We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled study to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and immunological properties of interleukin-10 (IL-10) administration in healthy humans. Volunteers received a single intravenous bolus injection of recombinant human IL-10 (1, 10, or 25g/kg) or placebo. Cytokine production in whole blood and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) was assessed before and 3, 6, 24, and 48 hr after the injection. Peak serum concentrations of IL-10 (15±1.1, 208±20.1, and 505±22.3 ng/ml) occurred after 2–5 min for 1, 10, and 25g/kg IL-10, respectively. The terminal-phase half-life was 3.18 hr. A transient leukocytosis (24–63% above baseline) was observed 6 hr after injection, which coincided with a dose-dependent decrease (12–24%) in neutrophil superoxide generation. There was a marked inhibition (60–95%) of endotoxin-induced IL-6 production from whole blood in each group receiving IL-10. Production of IL-8 in endotoxin-stimulated blood was reduced in the 10g/kg group. In PBMC stimulated with phytohemagglutinin and phorbol ester, there was a decrease (72–87%) in interferon- (IFN) production 6 hr after IL-10 with a return to pre-IL-10 levels after 24 hr. This reduction was only partially associated with a decrease in the number of CD2-bearing cells. We conclude that IL-10 administration into humans is without significant side effects, and a single injection reducesex vivo production of IL-6, IL-8, and IFN. 相似文献

Endotoxin is a component of gram-negative bacteria that causes hematologic and immunologic changes through its induction of cytokines. Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) is a naturally occurring inhibitor of IL-1 that competes with IL-1 for occupancy of cell-surface receptors but possesses no agonist activity. We investigated the ability of human recombinant IL-1Ra to block the effects of low-dose endotoxin. Fourteen healthy male volunteers between 18 and 30 years old were injected intravenously with 3 ng/kg Escherichia coli endotoxin. Concurrent with the injections, nine volunteers received a 3-hour continuous intravenous infusion of IL-1Ra. The other five subjects were given a 3-hour infusion of saline. Volunteers injected with endotoxin experienced a threefold increase in circulating neutrophils over baseline. This neutrophilia was significantly reduced by 48% in subjects administered endotoxin plus IL-1Ra (P = .0253). Ex vivo mitogen-induced peripheral blood mononuclear cell proliferation decreased by greater than 60% at 3 and 6 hours after endotoxin injection (P = .0053). This endotoxin-induced reduction in mitogen response was reversed in subjects coinjected with IL-1Ra (P = .0253). Endotoxin-induced symptoms, fever, and tachycardia were unaffected by IL-1Ra. IL-1 appears to be an important mediator in endotoxemia because some of its hematologic and immunomodulatory effects can be blocked by IL-1Ra. 相似文献

A patient on disopyramide developed disopyramide toxicity when treated concurrently with azithromycin. Evidence of toxicity included an elevated serum disopyramide level and ventricular tachycardia requiring cardioversion. The azalide antibiotic presumably inhibited dealkylation of disopyramide to its major metabolite, mono-N-dealkyldisopyramide. Physicians should avoid using azithromycin in patients on disopyramide. If this drug combination is unavoidable, disopyramide levels must be closely monitored. 相似文献

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulates interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) gene expression and synthesis in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). IL-1 can also induce PBMC to synthesize IL-1 and TNF alpha. In the present study, we used IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) to determine the relative contribution of an IL-1-positive feedback loop to the total amount of LPS-induced cytokine synthesis. Pretreatment of PBMC with human recombinant IL-1ra reduced LPS-induced cytokine synthesis in a dose-dependent manner (P less than .001). Maximal inhibition was 33% for IL-1 alpha (P less than .01), 43% for IL-1 beta (P = .001), and 20% for TNF alpha (P less than .05). We consistently observed IL-1ra suppression of LPS-induced cytokines in PBMC of 38 volunteers. However, this phenomenon was not specific for LPS; 1 microgram/mL IL-1ra inhibited IL-1 beta synthesized in response to human recombinant IL-2 by 44% (P less than .001), toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 by 26% (P less than .05), and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate by 76% (P less than .001). IL-1ra added to PBMC 4 or 8 hours after stimulation with LPS still inhibited IL-1 beta synthesis by 44% (P less than .001) or 25% (P = .01), respectively. The steady state messenger RNA levels of IL-1 beta were reduced in PBMC stimulated by LPS in the presence of IL-1ra. In monocytes isolated by elutriation, IL-1ra reduced LPS-induced IL-1 alpha by 16% (P less than .001), IL-1 beta by 14% (P less than .05), and TNF alpha by 24% (P = .01). We conclude that IL-1-induced IL-1 significantly contributes to LPS-induced cytokine synthesis. 相似文献

Analysis of mutations in the envelope gene of Moloney murine leukemia virus: separation of infectivity from superinfection resistance. 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
Six deletion mutations and an insertion were generated in the env gene of cloned copies of Moloney murine leukemia virus DNA. All seven mutants were replication-defective as tested by transformation of NIH/3T3 cells. The mutant DNAs were introduced into NIH/3T3 cells to generate stable producer lines; all released virion particles into the medium, suggesting that none of the mutations affected overall viral gene expression, gag and pol gene expression, gag and pol gene functions, or virion budding. Several of the mutations reduced the lifetime of the env protein or blocked its export to the cell surface. One mutation altering the membrane-spanning region and the cytoplasmic tail of the TM protein had no effect on export of the protein, proteolytic processing, or incorporation into virion particles, but still blocked the infectivity of the resulting virus. The results suggest that alterations in the transmembrane region can affect early steps of infection, such as the fusion of virion and host membranes. Cells expressing this mutant env protein were fully resistant to superinfection by wild-type virus. Thus, induction of virus resistance, presumably reflecting blocking the virus receptor, can be separated from virus infectivity. 相似文献
