Functional alpha 1-adrenergic receptors on leukocytes of patients with polyarticular juvenile rheumatoid arthritis

Journal of Neuroimmunology

Abstract

During the last decade it has been shown that the central nervous system can influence the immune system. In healthy individuals, catecholamines can inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines like interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) via interaction with beta 2-adrenergic receptors. In contrast, we show here that catecholamines can stimulate the production of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) in children with the chronic inflammatory disease polyarticular juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA). The induction of IL-6 is mediated by triggering of alpha 1-adrenergic receptors on peripheral blood leucocytes of the patients with polyarticular JRA. Functional alpha 1-adrenergic receptors are absent on leukocytes of normal donors and on leukocytes of patients with the oligoarticular form of the disease.

Adrenergic Receptors: Trafficking

Adrenergic receptor trafficking is an active physiological process where adrenergic receptors are relocated from one region of the cell to another or from one type of cell to another. Discover the latest research on adrenergic receptor trafficking here.
