In the present study, effects of leukotrienes on IL-6 production by mouse resident peritoneal macrophages were explored with a bioassay method involving IL-6 dependent murine hybridoma B9 cell line. The results showed that LTB4, LTC4 and LTD4 can enhance the production of IL-6 from cultured peritoneal macrophages of mice. The optimal concentractions for LTB4, LTC4 and LTD4 were found to be 1.45 x 10(-6), 6.9 x 10(-8) and 8.05 x 10(-8) mol.L-1, respectively. The results suggest that peptide leukotrienes might play important role on IL-6 production in the local milieu of inflammation.
在本研究中,采用涉及依赖白细胞介素-6(IL-6)的小鼠杂交瘤B9细胞系的生物测定方法,探讨了白三烯对小鼠腹腔常驻巨噬细胞产生IL-6的影响。结果显示,白三烯B4(LTB4)、白三烯C4(LTC4)和白三烯D4(LTD4)可增强小鼠培养腹腔巨噬细胞中IL-6的产生。发现LTB4、LTC4和LTD4的最佳浓度分别为1.45×10⁻⁶、6.9×10⁻⁸和8.05×10⁻⁸mol·L⁻¹。结果表明,肽白三烯可能在炎症局部环境中对IL-6的产生起重要作用。
