Interleukin (IL)-8 and growth related oncogene-alpha in severe endotoxemia and the effects of a tumor necrosis factor-alpha/IL-1beta inhibitor on these chemokines

FR167653 inhibits the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and interleukin (IL)-1beta, powerful inducers of CXC chemokines IL-8 and growth related oncogene (GRO)-alpha. The production of IL-8 and GRO-alpha was investigated and the effects of FR167653 were examined in a rabbit model of end...

Sumario:FR167653 inhibits the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and interleukin (IL)-1beta, powerful inducers of CXC chemokines IL-8 and growth related oncogene (GRO)-alpha. The production of IL-8 and GRO-alpha was investigated and the effects of FR167653 were examined in a rabbit model of endotoxin shock. Male New Zealand rabbits were given endotoxin at a dose sufficient to induce DIC. Three groups of rabbits received FR167653 at different doses. TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-8, and GRO-alpha levels were measured, several pathologic features were evaluated, and the results were compared with those obtained in control rabbits, which received only endotoxin. Endotoxin increased serum levels of IL-8 and GRO-alpha, which were associated with hypotension, renal dysfunction, and mortality, peaking at 4 h. FR167653 improved mortality, an event that was associated with decreased levels of not only TNF-alpha and IL-1beta but also IL-8 and GRO-alpha. TNF-alpha peaked at 2 h, at a time point before IL-8 and GRO-alpha reached their peak, and the TNF-alpha level was tightly correlated with that of IL-8 and GRO-alpha. Altogether, these data suggest the possible involvement of IL-8 and GRO-alpha in endotoxin shock, and FR167653 may foster a beneficial outcome in part by modulating the chemokines level by inhibiting TNF-alpha and IL-1beta.
