摘要
To explore the immunoregulating effects of cefodizime on neutrophils and its mechanisms, we detected the expression of some cytokines secreted by neutrophils after heat-killed Klebsiella pneumoniae induced inflammation. We analyzed the changes of signal transduction in this process by detecting the mRNA expression of toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) and the inhibitor factor of kappaBalpha (I-kappaBalpha) expressed by neutrophils. The activity of nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) in neutrophils was also assayed by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). We found cefodizime increased neutrophil production of TNF-alpha, IL-1beta in the early stage of inflammation, which was in agreement with the enhanced mRNA expression of TLR4 and DNA-binding activity of NF-kappaB. Taken together, the immunomodulating effects of cefodizime on cytokine production of K pneumoniae stimulated neutrophils is possibly due to its regulation of TLR4 mRNA expression and DNA binding activities of NF-kappaB through the LPS-TLR4-NF-kappaB pathway.
