Popis: It is known that during acute phase reaction IL-6 activates STAT3 in hepatoma cells and IL-1 downregulates this response. We found that the inhibitory properties of IL-1 on STAT signalling cascade in human hepatoma HepG2 cells are considerably decreased not only in the presence of MAP kinase inhibitors SB203580 and PD98059 but also by some antioxidants (N-acetyl cysteine and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate) and by anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-4. It appears that cytokine crosstalk between IL-6 and IL-1 includes a direct pathway sensitive to antioxidants and MAP kinase inhibitors, whereas the indirect prolonged response depends probably on synthesis of suppressors of cytokine signalling (SOCS).
