Abstract
The effect of drugs known to increase intracellular levels of cyllic AMP were studied in the leucocyte migration ihibition system. It was found that cyclic AMP, dibutyryl cyclic AMP, theophyline, and prostaglandins E1 and E2 inhibited the production of leucocyte inhibiting factor by HA pulsed lymphocytes Inhibition only occured when the drugs were present during or after the PHA pulse. In addition it was found that these drugs enhanced the migration of polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMN), in this system. Electrophoretic mobility of PMN cells was not altered by these drug indicating that the effect is not due to changes in membrane charge. However, granulocyte adhesion was reduced in the presence of these drug suggesting that adhesion is of primary importance in the migration of polymorphonuclear leucocytes out of capillary tubes. The findings show that cyclic AMP is important in modulating both cell-mediated and inflammatory responses.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
