The proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF) and interleukin-1b (IL-1) play an important role in the pathogenesis of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, while TNF is also involved in promoting insulin resistance. It has been recently shown that glucose can induce the synthesis of TNF and IL-6 in human monocytes. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of glucose on unstimulated and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced TNF and IL-1 production by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). No effect of glucose on spontaneous release of TNF or IL-I could be observed. The LPS-stimulated production of TNF was enhanced when cells were preincubated with increasing glucose concentrations. In contrast, no effect of glucose preincubation on LPS-induced IL-I synthesis was found. In conclusion, high glucose concentrations can increase the stimulated TNF production capacity, with possible important consequences for patients with diabetes mellitus.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007375 Interleukin-1 A soluble factor produced by MONOCYTES; MACROPHAGES, and other cells which activates T-lymphocytes and potentiates their response to mitogens or antigens. Interleukin-1 is a general term refers to either of the two distinct proteins, INTERLEUKIN-1ALPHA and INTERLEUKIN-1BETA. The biological effects of IL-1 include the ability to replace macrophage requirements for T-cell activation.

D007963 Leukocytes, Mononuclear Mature LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES transported by the blood to the body's extravascular space. They are morphologically distinguishable from mature granulocytic leukocytes by their large, non-lobed nuclei and lack of coarse, heavily stained cytoplasmic granules.

D008070 Lipopolysaccharides Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Lipopolysaccharide,Lipoglycans
D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.

D014409 Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha Serum glycoprotein produced by activated MACROPHAGES and other mammalian MONONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES. It has necrotizing activity against tumor cell lines and increases ability to reject tumor transplants. Also known as TNF-alpha, it is only 30% homologous to TNF-beta (LYMPHOTOXIN), but they share TNF RECEPTORS.
