Mikrobiologie und Immunologie, Universitätsstrasse 150, D–44780 Bochum (Germany) We analysed the effects of the growth factors granulo-cyte/macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), as well as the cytokines interleukin (IL)-3 and IL-8 on the generation of leukotriene (LT…

The impact of cetirizine on microbial and viral infections

Cetirizine has a number of additional antiinflammatory effects that appear to be independent of its antihistamine effect, including in vitro inhibitory effects on eosinophil activation, chemotaxis and on platelet or neutrophil activation and in vivo studies that have demonstrated a protective effect on the changes induced by skin-prick test with histamine or allergen.

Decreased production of interleukin-6 and prostaglandin E2 associated with inhibition of delta-5 desaturation of omega6 fatty acids in mice fed safflower oil diets supplemented with sesamol.

The differences in the immune responses in mice fed sesame oil diets and those fed sesamin may be attributed to the presence of other lignans in the non-fat portion of the oil, which suggests that sesamol or its metabolite could inhibit the in vivo delta-5 desaturation of omega6 fatty acids.

Characterising lymphocyte trafficking across blood vascular and lymphatic endothelial cells

Memory T-cells showed a markedly enhanced capacity to migrate across lymphatic endothelium if they had first traversed a vascular endothelial cell barrier, and addition of exogenous PGD2 to isolated lymphocytes is able to restore the enhanced migration capacity of lymphocytes that have previously migrated through a vascular monolayer.

Increased survival after cecal ligation and puncture in mice consuming diets enriched with sesame seed oil

Sesamin, sesamol and other lignans in SSO appear to be responsible for an increase in survival after cecal ligation and puncture and also for a increase in the IL-10 levels in response to a nonlethal dose of endotoxin in mice.

Natural Products: Anti‐proliferative Effects of Lichen‐derived Inhibitors of 5‐Lipoxygenase on Malignant Cell‐lines and Mitogen‐stimulated Lymphocytes

These compounds have in‐vitro inhibitory effects on arachidonate 5‐lipoxygenase in cultured cells from man, including three malignant cell‐lines and normal skin fibroblasts and peripheral blood lymphocytes.

Interleukin-3, interleukin-8, FMLP and C5a enhance the release of leukotrienes from neutrophils of patients with atopic dermatitis.

The data emphasize that neutrophils may play an important role in the pathogenesis of AD by an increased responsiveness to receptor-specific stimuli and further suggest that IL-3 and IL-8 influence the acute and chronic inflammatory reactions in patients with AD.

Conversion of leukotriene A4 by neutrophils and platelets from patients with atopic dermatitis.

It is emphasized that neutrophils and platelets may play an important role in the pathogenesis of AD by an increased responsiveness to receptor-specific stimuli and cell-cell interaction via LTA4.
