Cefodizime has modulating effects on the release of diverse cytokines. We determined the modulator activity of this antibiotic on the production of TNF in human monocytic U-937 cells. The measurement of TNF was carried out by ELISA test and by a L-929 cells-based citotoxic bioassay. The results showed that cefodizime alone induced the production of TNF on U-937 cells, however, the addition of LPS led to a decrease in the release of this cytokine (p < 0.05). On the other hand, the combination of cefodizime-PMA had a synergic effect (p < 0.05), while addition of LPS to this combination caused a decrease of TNF production (p < 0.05). With these results we conclude that cefodizime modulates the production of TNF in U-937 cells, which is down regulated by the addition of LPS.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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

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.
