摘要
The cytotoxicity, immunotoxicity and immunomodulatory potential of four dithiocarbamate derivatives were assessed and compared with the effects of Immuthiol (diethyl dithiocarbamate, DE-DTC) in mice. Cellular stimulation and cell viability were examined after in vitro exposure of spleen lymphocytes to selected DTC analogues: N-methyl-D-glucamine dithiocarbamate (NMG-DTC), dimethyl dithiocarbamate (DM-DTC), dibuthyl dithiocarbamate (DB-DTC) and diisobuthyl dithiocarbamate (DIB-DTC). Lymphocyte activation by plant and bacterial mitogens: concanavalin A (Con A), phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and allogeneic stimulation of cells in mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) were examined in vitro in the presence of 10(-4)-10(-9) g/ml DE-DTC and other selected DTC derivatives. No direct in vitro lymphoproliferative activity of DTC derivatives was observed, although a relatively stronger cytotoxicity with DE-DTC and DM-DTC was noted. In addition, the in vivo effects of DTC derivatives were examined by cytofluorometric profile of splenic and bone marrow cells as well as in mitogenic and allogenic responses, after i.v. exposures of animals to two subsequent (25 mg/kg b.w.) doses of the chemical. Less cytotoxic DIB-DTC, NMG-DTC and DB-DTC expressed weak in vivo immunostimulatory potential when compared with the effect of DE-DTC, whereas the effects of DM-DTC on alloantigenic and mitogenic lymphocyte stimulation were comparable with the known effects of DE-DTC. Cytofluorometric studies showed that the number of cytotoxic/suppressor T-cells (Ts) and helper T-cells (Th) in the cell was increased by DE-DTC and NMG-DTC only. In addition, DM-DTC appeared to affect the Ts/Th ratio. DE-DTC did not affect the B-cell subpopulation, whereas other derivatives induced marked modifications of the pre-B-cell subpopulations in bone marrow. Our data suggest that in vivo the immunostimulatory effect of DM-DTC could be accompanied with major changes in bone marrow B-cell frequency and alteration of spleen Ts/Th ratio.
