چکیده

objective(s) the fractions of candida albicans have been used as an immunomodulator. the present work assessed the effect of different fractions of c. albicans on nitric oxide (no) production by mice peritoneal macrophages. materials and methods cell wall and cytoplasmic fractions of c. albicans atcc 10321 strain were extracted. mice peritoneal macrophages were purified and cultured. different concentrations of both fractions and also killed c. albicans cells were used for macrophages stimulation and evaluation of no production. no amount was detected in culture supernatants of macrophages by griess reagent. also, mtt assay was performed to assess the viability of macrophages. results the results elucidated that suppressive effect of cell wall proteins on no release was significant at the dose of 100 pg/ml (p=0.01), while cytoplasmic fraction increased no amount at the dose of 1 pg/ml compared to the control group (p=0.003). augmentation of no production was statistically significant at 200 killed c. albicans per well (p=0.006). conclusion according to our findings, cytoplasmic fractions and killed c. albicans have a positive effect on no production by peritoneal macrophages, while cell wall fractions did not. therefore, it is proposed that c. albicans fractions can be studied more as inflammation modulators.

Effect of Shark Liver Oil on Peritoneal Murine Macrophages in Responses to Killed-Candida albicans

Objective(s) Shark Liver Oil (SLO) is an immunomodulator. Macrophages play a key role in host defense against pathogens like fungi. Candida albicans have mechanisms to escape immune system. We determined the effect of killed-Candida on the in vitro viability of macrophages and the effect of SLO on augmentation of this potency. Materials and Methods Peritoneal macrophages were separated and c...

Effect of Neutrophils on Nitric Oxide Production from Stimulated Macrophages

Background: During the initial phase of an infection, there is an upregulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase in the macrophages for the production of nitric oxide. This is followed by the recruitment of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) which release arginase. Arginase competes with inducible nitric oxide synthase for a common substrate L-arginine. Objective: To investigate whethe...

EFFECT OF FIVE ALPHA DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE (5α-DHT) ON CYTOKINE PRODUCTION BY PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES OF NZB/BALBc MICE

One of the mechanisms involved in the regulation of the immune system by steroid hormones could be the monocytic-macrophage system. In this study the effect of the male hormone 5a-DHT on cytokine release by peritoneal macrophages (mΦ) of male and female NZB/BALBc mice was investigated. Macrophages from male mice activated with LPS produced a greater amount of IL-1β (21.8%) (p<0.05) and IL-...

The Effects of Candida Albicans Cell Wall Protein Fraction on Dendritic Cell Maturation

Back ground: Candida albicans is a member of the normal human microflora. C. albicans cell wall is composed of several protein and carbohydrate components which have been shown to play a crucial role in C. albicans interaction with the host immune system. Major components of C. albican cell wall are carbohydrates such as mannans, β glucans and chitins, and proteins that partially modulate the h...
