1 Differential effects of pentoxifylline on the production of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) by monocytes and T cells. Pentoxifylline interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
2 Differential effects of pentoxifylline on the production of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) by monocytes and T cells. Pentoxifylline interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
3 In this study, we found that PTX differentially regulates the production of TNF-alpha and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Pentoxifylline interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
4 In this study, we found that PTX differentially regulates the production of TNF-alpha and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Pentoxifylline interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
5 Indeed, PTX at high concentrations triggers the production of IL-6 but not of TNF-alpha by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Pentoxifylline interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
6 Further experiments indicated that monocytes are responsible for this PTX-induced IL-6 production. Pentoxifylline interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
7 In addition, the in vivo administration of PTX in transplant patients receiving the first dose of OKT3 allowed to decrease the systemic release of TNF-alpha but not of IL-6. Pentoxifylline interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
8 In this system, PTX was found to inhibit the secretion of both TNF-alpha and IL-6 by T cells. Pentoxifylline interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
9 We suggest that cAMP could be involved in these differential effects of PTX on production of TNF-alpha and of IL-6. Pentoxifylline interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
