Microcystin (MC) has been found in several areas of the world. In addition to its hepatotoxicity, microcystin may have an immunomodulatory effect. Considering that patients receiving hemodialysis may be chronically exposed to variable concentrations of MC, and that they present important changes in this immune response, we have assessed the effect of MC on the function of leukocytes. Polymorphonuclear leukocytes isolated from healthy volunteers (HV) and patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) were incubated with microcystin (10 microg/L) for 24h and evaluated for reactive oxygen species production (ROS), phagocytosis and apoptosis. Monocytes incubated with and without LPS (100 ng/mL) and microcystin for 24h were assessed for TNFalpha and IL-10 production. Leukocytes of HV presented an increase in apoptosis rates and leukocytes from HD exhibited a lower production of oxygen-reactive species, both spontaneously and after stimulus with S. aureus, when compared with leukocytes incubated without toxin. Monocytes presented an increase in cytokine production after stimulation by LPS in both groups, but there was no difference between the groups with and without MC that were incubated with or without LPS. Low concentrations of microcystin can induce mild changes in leukocyte function of HV and HDP, particularly in the ability to produce ROS.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

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.

D016753 Interleukin-10 A cytokine produced by a variety of cell types, including T-LYMPHOCYTES; MONOCYTES; DENDRITIC CELLS; and EPITHELIAL CELLS that exerts a variety of effects on immunoregulation and INFLAMMATION. Interleukin-10 combines with itself to form a homodimeric molecule that is the biologically active form of the protein. IL-10,CSIF-10,Cytokine Synthesis Inhibitory Factor,IL10,Interleukin 10
