The spider acylpolyamine Mygalin is a potent modulator of innate immune responses.

Abstract:

:Mygalin is an antibacterial molecule isolated from the hemocytes of the spider Acanthoscurria gomesiana. It was identified as bis-acylpolyamine spermidine. We evaluated the modulator effects of synthetic Mygalin in the innate immune response. We demonstrate that Mygalin induces IFN-γ synthesis by splenocytes increasing the nitrite secretion by splenocytes and macrophages. A specific inhibitor of iNOS abrogated Mygalin-induced nitrite production in macrophages independent of IFN-γ activation. In addition, Mygalin-activated macrophages produced TNF-α but not IL-1β, demonstrating that Mygalin does not act directly on the inflammasome. Furthermore, this compound did not affect spontaneous or Concanavalin A-induced proliferative responses by murine splenocytes and did not induce IL-5 or apoptosis of splenocytes or bone marrow-derived macrophages. These data provide evidence that Mygalin modulates the innate immune response by inducing IFN-γ and NO synthesis. The combined immune regulatory and antibacterial qualities of Mygalin should be explored as a strategy to enhance immune responses in infection.

  • Lipid raft-dependent endocytosis negatively regulates responsiveness of J774 macrophage-like cells to LPS by down regulating the cell surface expression of LPS receptors.

    abstract::Acting through CD14 and TLR4/MD-2, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) triggers strong pro-inflammatory activation of macrophages, which, if not appropriately controlled, may lead to lethal septic shock. Therefore, numerous mechanisms of negative regulation of responses to LPS exist, but whether they include down-regulation of L...
