| Popis: | The influences of pretreatmeni with β-1.3-D-polyglucose derivatives on levels of cytokines and arachidonic acid metabolites in body fluids in experimental peritonitis in mice are reported. Peritonitis was induced by an intraperitoneal injection of 108 live Escherichia coli. Pretreated animals survived the infection, untreated animals died about 12 h after inoculation with E. coli. Levels of IL-l in plasma and peritoneal fluid, measured by cytotoxicity assay of the HT-2 cell line, increased significantly during the first 48 h after intraperitoneal treatment with β-1.3-D-polyglucose-derivalized microbeads (GDM) or soluble, animated /β-1,3-D-polyglucose (AG). After subsequent challenge with E. coli. the levels of IL-1 were significantly lower than in untreated animals. There was no increase in levels of TNF after treatment with GDM or AG, measured by cytotoxicity assay of the WEHI clone 13 cell line. After challenge with E. coli. TNF in plasma and peritoneal fluid was significantly lower compared with untreated animals. Both PGE2; and LTB4. measured by radioimmunoassay kits, were increased in peritoneal fluid alter treatment with GDM and AG. After challenge with E coli. PGE2 and LTB4 in peritoneal fluid increased to about half the concentration of infected control animals. Intraperitoneal injection of indomethacin to pretreated animals resulted in increased levels of IL-l and TNF- and decreased levels of PGE2; following challenge with E. coli. The levels of IL-1 and TNF remained elevated until the animals died after about 12 h. These studies demonstrate that the raised levels of arachidonic acid metabolites after pretreatment with GDM or AG seem to inhibit the otherwise lethal elevation of IL-1 and TNF in body fluids which is seen in untreated animals. |
