Interleukin-4 receptor regulation in human monocytic cells.
The regulation of the interleukin-4 receptor (IL-4R) was studied at mRNA and protein level in monocytic cells on stimulation with activators of different intracellular signaling pathways and IL-4. Activation of protein kinase C-dependent pathways with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or activation of protein kinase A-dependent pathways with DBcAMP and prostaglandin E2 resulted in an augmented IL...
متن کاملRegulation of interleukin-8 gene expression after phagocytosis of zymosan by human monocytic cells.
Monocyte phagocytosis of pathogens or inflammatory debris leads to chemokine secretion and heralds the influx of leukocytes to the site of injury. Persistent chemokine secretion can lead to tissue damage. However, the mechanisms by which phagocytosis regulates chemokine synthesis remain poorly understood. As a first step, we have studied regulation of interleukin (IL) 8 gene expression after in...
متن کاملTranscriptional and posttranscriptional regulation of the interleukin-4 and interleukin-3 genes in human T cells.
Human T cells were studied with regard to the regulation of interleukin-4 (IL-4) and IL-3 gene expression. IL-4 and IL-3 mRNA were undetectable in unstimulated T cells. On activation with the lectin concanavalin A (Con A), both IL-4 and IL-3 mRNA were expressed. Accumulation of IL-4 mRNA peaked after 6 to 12 hours, whereas IL-3 mRNA levels peaked after 3 to 6 hours of stimulation with Con A. Nu...
متن کاملCytokine-mediated regulation of iron transport in human monocytic cells.
Under chronic inflammatory conditions cytokines induce a diversion of iron traffic, leading to hypoferremia and retention of the metal within the reticuloendothelial system. However, the regulatory pathways underlying these disturbances of iron homeostasis are poorly understood. We investigated transferrin receptor (TfR)-dependent and -independent iron transport mechanisms in cytokine-stimulate...
متن کاملIL-4 induces cAMP and cGMP in human monocytic cells
Human monocytes, preincubated with IFN-gamma respond to IL-4 by a cGMP increase through activation of an inducible NO synthase. Here, IL-4 was found to induce an accumulation of cGMP (1 - 3 min) and cAMP (20 - 25 min) in unstimulated monocytes. This was impaired with NOS inhibitors, but also with EGTA and calcium/calmodulin inhibitors. These results suggest that: (1) IL-4 may stimulate differen...
