Abstract:
Ain. To study the effect of kanglemycin C (KC) on production and gene transcription of lymphokins. Methods. Cell proliferation and lymphokin activities were quantified with MTT colorimetry and ELISA, and genetranscripdons of lymphokins semi-quantified with RT-PCR. Restlts. Suppression of KC on proliferation of enriched T-and B-cell respectively mediated by Con A and LPS was declined by addition of exogenous IL-1, IL-2, and IL-6. KC 80 nmol/L markedly inhibited IL-2 and IL-6 pro-duction and mRNA transcription of incubated mouse splenocytes induced by Con A. Additionally, KC had some sup-pression on IL-1β and IL-6 productions of peritoneal macrophage stimulated by LPS (5 μg/mL), whereas cyclosporine(CS) had not. Condusion. Immunosuppression of KC came true partially through the decrease of IL-1β, -2 and -6 productions,especially of IL-2. However, CS's immunosuppression was mainly through the decrease of IL-2 procduction.
