Adrenalectomy sensitizes mice to the lethal effects of interleukin 1 and tumor necrosis factor
نویسندگان
چکیده
To clarify the possible role of TNF and IL-1 in endotoxic shock, the lethality of rTNF (human and murine) and IL-1 in adrenalectomized mice was studied. Adrenalectomy, which has long been known to increase the susceptibility to endotoxin, rendered mice susceptible to TNF and IL-1 in terms of mortality. The lethality of endotoxin, TNF, or IL-1 was totally prevented by pretreatment with dexamethasone (minimal effective dose, 0.3 mg/Kg) but not by ibuprofen (10 mg/Kg).

Background: The tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) is a cytokine that produced principally by monocyte/macrophages and T lymphocytes, respectively. TNFα is recognized as the primary mediator of immunity in inflammation reaction. One important application of Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 2 (TNFR2) is for the treatment of autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA).<br /...

Background: Today, breast cancer is the biggest health threat to women. The current common treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. In most cancers, metastasis is the primary cause of treatment failure. Surgery and radiotherapy are effective on local tumors, but they cannot affect metastatic cancers. Chemotherapy is often used to treat metastatic cancers, the effectiveness of...

Differentiation factor (D factor), also called leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), is a glycoprotein that has been increasingly recognized to possess a wide range of physiological activities. We examined the possibility that the administration of D factor may confer beneficial effects and enhance host resistance against lethal endotoxemia. A single intravenous dose of recombinant human D factor c...
متن کاملEndogenous and exogenous glucocorticoids in experimental enterococcal infection.
The potentially protective role of the host adrenal-glucocorticoid response to enterococcal infection was evaluated in an experimental model in which mice were infected intraperitoneally with two distinct Enterococcus faecalis strains (K9 and CP-1). We demonstrated that corticosterone levels in serum and peritoneal-lavage fluid were elevated within 1 hour of infection with either E. faecalis st...
