The antibiotic thiazole compound siomycin, which we have found from the culture broth of Actinomycetes (strain No.806097) in search of antibody production inhibitor, showed the in vitro immunosuppressive property against B-cells stimulated with T-cell independent antigen DNP-LPS (dinitrophenyl-lipopolysaccharide) while it also showed inhibitory effect against T-cell proliferation. Its inhibitory mechanism was considered to be different from that of FK506, the representative of T-cell immunosuppressant. Moreover, siomycin showed inhibitory effect in both T-cell dependent and independent murine antibody production models and decreased the severity in murine collagen arthritis model. Therefore, siomycin is a unique immunosuppressant which has potential for the treatment of some antibody-mediated diseases.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007166 Immunosuppressive Agents Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
