The production of IL-6 and TNF-alpha and the expression of their mRNA were studied with neonatal (cord blood) and adult blood monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) after in vitro infection with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Cord blood MDM exhibited production of high levels of IL-6 within 24 hr after infection. Little or no IL-6 production was detected after 24-48 hr and after in vitro stimulation with inactivated (nonreplicating) virus. Adult blood MDM also produced high levels of IL-6 within 24 hr of RSV infection. Unlike cord blood MDM, adult MDM demonstrated significant activity of IL-6 after 24 hr of infection with live RSV and after exposure to the inactivated virus. The pattern of TNF-alpha production by cord and adult blood MDM after live RSV infection resembled closely the pattern of IL-6 production. Both cell types produced TNF-alpha in the first 24 hr after infection. However, little or no production was observed after 24 hr of infection and after exposure to the inactivated virus. The profile of mRNA expression was similar to the production of IL-6 or TNF-alpha. mRNA expression occurred over a shorter period in cord blood MDM. These observations suggest that inflammatory and immunoregulatory cytokines, such as IL-6 and TNF-alpha, are produced by neonatal as well as previously primed adult macrophages. However, neonatal cells may be less efficient in inducing IL-6 production.

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.

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. Messenger RNA,Messenger RNA, Polyadenylated,Poly(A) Tail,Poly(A)+ RNA,Poly(A)+ mRNA,RNA, Messenger, Polyadenylated,RNA, Polyadenylated,mRNA,mRNA, Non-Polyadenylated,mRNA, Polyadenylated,Non-Polyadenylated mRNA,Poly(A) RNA,Polyadenylated mRNA,Non Polyadenylated mRNA,Polyadenylated Messenger RNA,Polyadenylated RNA,RNA, Polyadenylated Messenger,mRNA, Non Polyadenylated
