NEUROPEPTIDES (SP AND CGRP) AUGMENT IL-1 BETA PRODUCTION IN HSV-INFECTED MACROPHAGES

Neuropeptides, possessing specific and functional receptors on various cells of the immune system, have the potential to regulate immune responses; and the macrophages as important components of defense against various agents, are at their influence. In this study the effect of neuropeptides substan...

description Neuropeptides, possessing specific and functional receptors on various cells of the immune system, have the potential to regulate immune responses; and the macrophages as important components of defense against various agents, are at their influence. In this study the effect of neuropeptides substance P (SP) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) on IL-1 beta production by herpes sim¬plex type-1 (HSV-1 )-infected and also uninfected mouse peritoneal macrophages were considered. Each neuropeptide separately has upregulated IL-1 beta produc¬tion by HSV-1 infected macrophages with the greatest effect at the concentrations of 10'9M for both SP and CGRP, but no synergistic effect on IL-1 production has been observed in the presence of both neuropeptides at optimal concentrations. IL-ip production by uninfected macrophages was also moderately enhanced in the presence of each neuropeptide, but not in the presence of both neuropeptides simultaneously. It can be concluded that IL-1 S3 production, which is part of mac¬rophage mediated inflammatory response to HSV-1, is enhanced by specific doses of neuropeptides.
