Abstract

Aim: To investigate the effect of human interleukin-4 (hIL-4) on the expression of E-selectin and ICAM-1 on bovine aortic endothelial cells(BAEC) activated with TNF-alpha.<br />Methods: BAEC were cultured in different concentrations of hIL-4 for 2 h followed by treatment with 4 microg/L TNF-alpha for 6 h or 18 h. The expression of E-selectin and ICAM-1 on BAEC was detected by cell-ELISA. The effect of hIL-4 on viability of BAEC was detected by MTT colorimetry.<br />Results: Pretreatment of BAEC with hIL-4 inhibited the expression of E-selectin and ICAM-1 on BAEC activated by TNF-alpha in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.01). Both TNF-alpha and hIL-4 had no effect on the viability of BAEC.<br />Conclusion: hIL-4 can suppress the expression of E-selectin and ICAM-1 on BAEC activated by TNF-alpha, which may contribute to the xenotransplant immune tolerance associated with hIL-4.
