IL-1beta and TNF-alpha, but not IFN-alpha, IFN-gamma, IL-6 or IL-8, are secretory mediators in human distal colon

Abstract

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and HIV infection can cause diarrhoea which is accompanied by elevated cytokine levels. To elucidate a pathogenic role of cytokines, their effect on ion secretion was studied in human distal colon using the Ussing technique. Interluekin 1beta (IL-1beta) dose dependently increased short-circuit current (ISC). An ISC maximum of 2.5+/-0.3 micromol. h-1.cm-2 was reached at 20 ng/ml within 43+/-4 min. 22Na+ and 36Cl- fluxes were not altered and residual flux increased by 2.4+/-1.0 micromol.h-1.cm-2 indicating that the IL-1beta-induced ISC is based on electrogenic bicarbonate secretion. IL-1beta had no effect on HT-29/B6 epithlial monolayers suggesting that IL-1beta does not act directly on the epithelium. Furthermore, in human colon the effect was not attenuated by removal of the submucosa (total stripping) pointing to a mediation step via subepithlial cells in the lamina propria. While tetrodotoxin and the 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor ICI-230487 had no effect, indomethacin completely blocked IL-1beta action. Prostaglandin determination by RIA revealed an increased production of PGE2. At half maximum effective concentrations an additive action of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) could be demonstr...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
