Chlamydiae modulate gamma interferon, interleukin-1 beta, and tumor necrosis factor alpha receptor expression in HeLa cells.

چکیده
Chlamydia psittaci was found to modulate receptor expression for the cytokine receptors that are involved in the synergistic induction of indoleamine dioxygenase in epithelial cells. Increases in receptor expression were seen even with inactivated Chlamydia, suggesting that chlamydial antigens and not products of infection are important for up-regulating cytokine receptor expression.

Expression of nitric oxide synthase by cytokines in vascular smooth muscle cells.
In cultured vascular smooth muscle cells, the baseline mRNA and protein levels of an inducible type of nitric oxide synthase were barely detectable. Interferon gamma, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interleukin-1 beta each markedly increased mRNA and protein levels of this enzyme in parallel with the production of nitrite, a stable oxidative metabolite of nitric oxide. Actinomycin D abolished ...
متن کاملUp-regulation of gamma interferon receptor expression due to Chlamydia-toll-like receptor interaction does not enhance signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 signaling.
Gamma interferon (IFN-gamma)-induced indoleamine dioxygenase (IDO), which inhibits chlamydial replication by reducing the availability of tryptophan, is up-regulated by interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha). The mechanisms by which this occurs include an increase in the synthesis of interferon regulatory factor-1 as well as a nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB)-...
متن کاملInterferon gamma and tumor necrosis factor alpha induce Fas expression and anti-Fas mediated apoptosis in a salivary ductal cell line.
BACKGROUND We previously reported that Fas antigen was strongly expressed on salivary duct epithelial cells and that some salivary infiltrating cells showed the Fas ligand in patients with severe sialoadenitis due to Sjögren's syndrome (SS). Apoptotic changes were observed in ductal epithelial cells and some infiltrating cells by DNA nick end labeling methods. These findings suggest that the Fa...
متن کاملDifferential regulation of surface receptor expression, proliferation, and apoptosis in HaCaT cells stimulated with interferon-γ, interleukin-4, tumor necrosis factor-α, or muramyl dipeptide
Keratinocytes are routinely subjected to both internal and external stimulation. This study investigates the effects of interferon gamma, interleukin-4, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and the synthetic immunomodulator muramyl dipeptide on the human keratinocyte cell line, HaCaT. Following HaCaT stimulation with cytokines or muramyl dipeptide for different time periods, changes in the expression o...
متن کاملModulation of P2X7 nucleotide receptor expression by pro- and anti-inflammatory stimuli in THP-1 monocytes.
Regulation of P2X7 receptor expression is of interest because activation of this receptor by extracellular ATP triggers maturation and release of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) in monocytes and macrophages. We report that interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) synergistically induce P2X7R mRNA and functional responses in the human ...
