Abstract:
:Neutrophil-activating peptide 1/interleukin 8 (NAP-1/IL-8) is a recently described cytokine with potent chemotactic activity for human neutrophil granulocytes (PMN) and T cells. In psoriasis, a chronic hyperproliferative and inflammatory skin disorder, PMN and T cells are found as prominent cells in the inflammatory infiltrate of the lesions; however, monocytes were shown to be the first cells invading a newly formed plaque. NAP-1/IL-8 was found to be present in high amounts in the skin and in scale material of psoriatic patients. Psoriasis responds well to systemic treatment with cyclosporin A (CsA), an immunosuppressive peptide. Therefore, we addressed the question of whether the clinical improvement of psoriatic patients during CsA therapy may be due to an inhibition of NAP-1/IL-8 production and secretion from monocytes. Purified human monocytes were stimulated by lipopolysaccharide in the presence or absence of various concentrations of CsA. Production of NAP-1/IL-8 was determined as expression of specific mRNA by fluorescent in situ hybridization. Secreted peptide was measured by bioassay (PMN chemotaxis) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using specific monoclonal antibodies. The results show that CsA neither inhibited mRNA expression for NAP-1/IL-8 nor secretion of the peptide. These findings support the hypothesis that the pharmacological effect of CsA may be restricted to the inhibition of T-cell activation and proliferation.
