The impact of agonists and antagonists of TLR3 and TLR9 on concentrations of IL-6, IL10 and sIL-2R in culture supernatants of peripheral blood mononuclear cells derived from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus
Journal Title: Advances in Hygiene and Experimental Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 71, Issue
Abstract
Toll-like receptors (TLR), especially TLR3, 7 and 9, play an important role in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In our study blood was collected from 16 patients with SLE and from 8 healthy volunteers. Concentrations of IL-6, IL-10 and sIL-2R were measured by ELISA in mononuclear cell culture supernatant after 24 hours of stimulation by agonists and antagonists of TLR3 and 9 (for TLR3-poli I/C, resveratrol and for TLR9-ODN2006, IRS 945). Stimulation of TLR9 by ODN2006 led to an increase of IL-6 concentration in cell culture supernatants from the cells of healthy volunteers compared with unstimulated cells from controls. Inhibition of TLR3 activation by resveratrol caused a significantly lower concentration of IL-10 in cell culture supernatants derived from both patients and healthy donors. Moreover, resveratrol significantly decreased the level of IL-10 and sIL-2R in culture supernatants of cells derived from patients with active disease compared to the inactive stage. A positive correlation was also found between IL-6 concentration following ODN2006 administration and disease activity. In conclusions, our results indicate that TLRs play a role in the modulation of the inflammatory response in SLE patients. This suppressive action on IL-10 synthesis demonstrated by resveratrol suggests that it may be useful in SLE therapy.
