The cascade of inflammatory cytokines regulating synthesis of acute phase proteins.
Abstract
The acute phase cytokines: interleukin 1, tumor necrosis factor alpha (cachectin) and beta (lymphotoxin), hepatocyte stimulating factor and several interferons, all belong to the family of endotoxin-inducible, low molecular weight proteins. Their synthesis in macrophages, fibroblasts, lymphocytes, epithelial and some tumor cells is enhanced by the same cytokines, often in the autocrine manner, and suppressed by dexamethasone. The principal …
