IL2 — LTB
Text-mined interactions from Literome
Zinetti et al., Cytokine 1998
(Sepsis) :
Neither the pro-inflammatory cytokines
interleukin 2 (IL-2) , TNF-alpha nor LPS alone or in combination with interferon gamma (IFN-gamma)
had any effect on
LT-beta mRNA expression
Klausner et al., Cancer 1990
(Hypertension, Pulmonary) :
Pretreatment with the lipoxygenase inhibitor diethylcarbamazine ( DEC ; n = 6 ) reduced baseline plasma LTB4 levels and prevented the
IL-2 induced increases in
LTB4 in plasma and lung lymph ( P less than 0.05 )
Rola-Pleszczynski et al., Union Med Can 1989
:
In particular,
LTB4 can induce suppressor cells, activate the synthesis and production of lymphokines such as interleukin 2 or interferon-gamma,
stimulate the production of
interleukin 1 by monocytes or macrophages, and activate cytotoxic cells against virus infected or tumor target cells
Rola-Pleszczynski et al., Prostaglandins Leukot Med 1986
:
Interleukin 2 (IL-2) and interferon-gamma (IFN) production by human lymphocytes was significantly enhanced in the
presence of
leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and indomethacin
Rola-Pleszczynski et al., J Immunol 1987
:
Recent evidence also indicates that
LTB4 can directly
affect the production of cytokines such as interleukin 1 (IL 1) or
interleukin 2 (IL 2) and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma)
Arcoleo et al., Int J Immunopharmacol 1995
:
However,
LTB4 augmented ConA spleen cell production of
interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) from Th1 cells and interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) from Th2 cells more than the controls treated with ConA alone
Stanková et al., J Immunol 1993
:
LTB4 induced
increased shedding of the IL-2R alpha in the culture supernatants and a modest induction of
IL-2R alpha protein expression on monocytes ... On the other hand, although LTB4 could stimulate the cell membrane expression of IL-2R beta and the accumulation of IL-2R beta mRNA,
LTB4 did not significantly
affect IL-2R beta gene transcription
