Serum levels of four cytokines [tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-2 (IL-2), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and interleukin-10 (IL-10)] were measured in nine diurnally active healthy adult male subjects at 3-h intervals during a 24-h period. Statistical evaluation by analysis of variance and/or the least- squares fit of a cosine model revealed significant 24-h rhythms for each cytokine. Although the amount of IL-2 in the serum was low, the levels fluctuated to form a single peak at approximately noon. In contrast, the other three cytokines exhibited a biphasic temporal pattern. In subjects with detectable TNF-alpha levels, the first peak occurred at 07:30 and the second at 13:30. IL-10 levels also exhibited a biphasic pattern, with one peak at 07:30 and the second 12 h later at 19:30. GM-CSF levels were last to rise, first peaking at approximately 13:30 and then again at 19:30. These results suggest temporal patterns that are unique for each cytokine, generally with daytime highs and nighttime lows.

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.

D016178 Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor An acidic glycoprotein of MW 23 kDa with internal disulfide bonds. The protein is produced in response to a number of inflammatory mediators by mesenchymal cells present in the hemopoietic environment and at peripheral sites of inflammation. GM-CSF is able to stimulate the production of neutrophilic granulocytes, macrophages, and mixed granulocyte-macrophage colonies from bone marrow cells and can stimulate the formation of eosinophil colonies from fetal liver progenitor cells. GM-CSF can also stimulate some functional activities in mature granulocytes and macrophages.

D016207 Cytokines Non-antibody proteins secreted by inflammatory leukocytes and some non-leukocytic cells, that act as intercellular mediators. They differ from classical hormones in that they are produced by a number of tissue or cell types rather than by specialized glands. They generally act locally in a paracrine or autocrine rather than endocrine manner. Cytokine
