1 Histamine-induced IL-6 and IL-8 production are differentially modulated by IFN-gamma and IL-4 in human keratinocytes. Histamine interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
2 We therefore examined the capacity of histamine to modulate the production of interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 by keratinocytes. Histamine interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
3 We found that histamine significantly augmented the production of IL-6 and IL-8 in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Histamine interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
4 The histamine-induced up-regulation of IL-6 and IL-8 production, however, was completely abrogated by a combination of pyrilamine and cimetidine. Histamine interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
5 Interestingly, IFN-gamma and IL-4 both significantly augmented the histamine-induced IL-6 production. Histamine interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
6 These results suggest that the histamine-induced IL-6 production and IL-8 production are differentially regulated by IFN-gamma and IL-4. Histamine interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
