Production of tumor necrosis factor, interleukin-6 and prostaglandin E2 by LPS-stimulated rat bone marrow macrophages after thermal injury: Effect of indomethacin

Abstract: The effect of thermal injury on the in vitro production of TNF, IL-6, and PGE2 by bone marrow-derived, LPS-stimulated rat macrophages was studied. Thermal injury caused a general hyperactivity in the production of the mediators by the cells. Indomethacin, a cyclooxygenase inhibitor of PGE2 synthesis, inhibited the production of IL-6 and PGE2 but had no effect on the production of TNF. These results suggest that the observed low concentration of PGE2 produced by the cells was insufficient to cause inhibition of… Show more

“…While indomethacin, which inhibits PGE 2 synthesis, resulted in a small reduction in the ability of IL-6 plus IL-6sR to stimulate aromatase activity, it is possible that this effect is mediated by the compound inhibiting IL-6 production (Ogle et al 1994).…”

“…As a small reduction in aromatase activity was detected when IL-6+IL-6sR plus indomethacin were used in combination to treat cells, this could suggest that IL-6+IL-6sR can stimulate PGE 2 synthesis, although only to a small degree. However, there is evidence that indomethacin can also inhibit IL-6 secretion in some cells (Ogle et al 1994).…”

“…Further, IL-I and have been demonstrated to induce kinin B1 receptor in vitro (Deblois et al, 1988). As systemic treatment with LPS is capable of upregulating certain cytokine genes of macrophage, neutrophils and fibroblasts in vivo (Ulich et al, 1992;Cockfield et al, 1993;Huleihel et al, 1993), through steroidal (Geiger et al, 1993;Ochalski et al, 1993;Pang et al, 1994), and nonsteroidal-sensitive mechanisms (Ochalski et al, 1993;Ogle et al, 1994), it seems apparent that the induction of B1 receptormediated oedema formation in the rat paw after LPS treatment is mediated by cytokine release. Together, these findings are consistent with the view that the induction of B. receptors in animals pretreated with LPS plays an important role in maintaining the chronic inflammatory processes, as already reported in hyperalgesic and some inflammatory models Bhoola et al, 1992;.…”

“…Since macrophages are a major source of PGE 2 during inflammation (40) and since they also have receptors for and respond to this eicosanoid (41), the PGE 2 generated by macrophages may regulate cytokine synthesis in an autocrine fashion (in contrast to paracrine regulation achieved through adding exogenous PGE 2 to cells). Previous studies have implicated a positive association between endogenous PGE 2 production and IL-6 synthesis in vitro (14,42,43), and animal models of chronic inflammation show that PGE 2 is a stimulator of IL-6 production in vivo (14, 25, 42, 44 -46).…”
