Objective:To evaluate the levels of interleukin 18(IL-18) mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs),livers and spleens in monkey endotoxic shock models.Methods:Cynomolgus monkeys were injected i.v. with lipopolysaccharide(LPS) (2.8 mg/kg) to prepare the endotoxic shock models. The mRNA levels of IL-18 in PBMCs,livers and spleens were tested by fluorescence semi-quantitative realtime reverse transcription(RT)-PCR and compared with that of TNF-? and IL-1?.Results:IL-18 mRNA expression in PBMCs remarkably increased at 120 min after LPS administration, so did in livers and in spleens at the same time. mRNA levels of TNF-? in PBMCs peaked at 60 min after LPS injection, and also increased markedly at 120 min in livers and spleens. IL-1? mRNA levels peaked at 60 min in PBMCs, and did not change so much in livers and in spleens.Conclusion:IL-18 mRNA expression in PBMCs can be up-regulated by LPS, but changed latterly than TNF-? and IL-1? in endotoxic shock cynomolgus monkeys. It is presumed that IL-18 can be produced by PBMCs and liver Kupffer cells(maybe splenic macrophages),and TNF-? is produced by a variety of cells, but IL-1? in bloodstream mainly come from PBMCs after LPS challenge.
