Recent evidence has revealed that various neuropeptides appear to have distinct roles as immunomodulators. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of hypothalamic neuropeptides (thyreoliberin [TRH], somatostatin [SRIF], and gonadoliberin [LH-RH]) on the secretion of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) from lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activated human peripheral blood monocytes (PM) cultured in vitro. LPS in concentration 1.5 micrograms/ml stimulated PBM to release IL-1 beta or IL-6 into the supernatants. SRIF in concentrations from 10(-8)M to 10(-10)M (but neither RH nor LH-RH in the same concentrations) potentiated the release of IL-6 from PBM. None of the tested neuropeptides stimulated the release of IL-1 beta from LPS activated human monocytes. These data indicate that SRIF in physiological or pharmacological concentrations which activate the release of IL-6 from PBM may be one of the regulators of immune response in humans.

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.

D007987 Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone A decapeptide that stimulates the synthesis and secretion of both pituitary gonadotropins, LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE. GnRH is produced by neurons in the septum PREOPTIC AREA of the HYPOTHALAMUS and released into the pituitary portal blood, leading to stimulation of GONADOTROPHS in the ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND.

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

D013004 Somatostatin A 14-amino acid peptide named for its ability to inhibit pituitary GROWTH HORMONE release, also called somatotropin release-inhibiting factor. It is expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, the gut, and other organs. SRIF can also inhibit the release of THYROID-STIMULATING HORMONE; PROLACTIN; INSULIN; and GLUCAGON besides acting as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator. In a number of species including humans, there is an additional form of somatostatin, SRIF-28 with a 14-amino acid extension at the N-terminal.
