In this study we examined the effect of myelin P2 protein on some proinflammatory functions exerted by human mononuclear phagocytes. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that P2 protein selectively induced in monocytes and macrophages mRNA accumulation of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta), and interleukin 8 (IL-8) in a time-dependent manner. Natural killer stimulating factor (IL-12) mRNA and protein secretion was strongly induced by lipopolysaccharide but not by P2 protein. Supernatants harvested from P2-stimulated monocytes contained significant amounts of TNF, IL-1 beta, and IL-8, whereas those from macrophages contained only TNF and IL-8. The effect of the P2 protein on TNF and IL-8 mRNA accumulation and secretion was not affected by polymyxin B, which, on the other hand, almost completely abolished the effect of lipopolysaccharide. Finally, P2 protein did not directly trigger hydrogen peroxide release but, through the induced release of TNF, potentiated monocyte respiratory burst capability. Since P2 protein is the antigen responsible for the induction of experimental allergic neuritis, these findings identify a potential mechanism involved in the inflammatory reaction and myelin damage during experimental allergic neuritis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007378 Interleukins Soluble factors which stimulate growth-related activities of leukocytes as well as other cell types. They enhance cell proliferation and differentiation, DNA synthesis, secretion of other biologically active molecules and responses to immune and inflammatory stimuli. Interleukin
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
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D009000 Monocytes Large, phagocytic mononuclear leukocytes produced in the vertebrate BONE MARROW and released into the BLOOD; contain a large, oval or somewhat indented nucleus surrounded by voluminous cytoplasm and numerous organelles. Monocyte
D004676 Myelin Basic Protein An abundant cytosolic protein that plays a critical role in the structure of multilamellar myelin. Myelin basic protein binds to the cytosolic sides of myelin cell membranes and causes a tight adhesion between opposing cell membranes.

It is relatively unstable and solutions deteriorate over time unless stabilized by the addition of acetanilide or similar organic materials.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

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.
