The induction of interleukin-1 (IL-1) by agrimoniin, a tannin of Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb., in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in vitro and in mouse adherent peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) in vivo was studied. A significant amount of IL-1 beta in the culture supernatant of the human PBMC stimulated with agrimoniin was detected with an enzyme-linked immunoadherent assay. Agrimoniin induced IL-1 beta secretion dose- and time-dependently. The adherent PEC from mice intraperitoneally injected with agrimoniin (10 mg/kg) also secreted IL-1 4 days later. These results suggest that agrimoniin, a plant tannin, is a novel cytokine inducer.
研究了龙牙草中的一种单宁——仙鹤草素在体外对人外周血单核细胞(PBMC)以及在体内对小鼠黏附性腹腔渗出细胞(PEC)诱导白细胞介素-1(IL-1)的情况。用酶联免疫吸附测定法检测到,用仙鹤草素刺激的人PBMC培养上清液中有大量IL-1β。仙鹤草素诱导IL-1β分泌呈剂量和时间依赖性。腹腔注射仙鹤草素(10 mg/kg)的小鼠的黏附性PEC在4天后也分泌IL-1。这些结果表明,植物单宁仙鹤草素是一种新型细胞因子诱导剂。
