IFN-α, IFN-β, and IFN-γ Have Different Effect on the Production of Proinflammatory Factors Deposited in Weibel-Palade Bodies of Endothelial Cells Infected with Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1

详细

We demonstrated similarities and differences in the effects of IFN-α and IFN-β compared to IFN-γ on the production of factors deposited in the Weibel-Palade bodies in cultures of endothelial cells (intact and infected with herpes simplex virus 1). IFN-α and IFN-β reduced the content of von Willebrand factor, endothelin-1, and soluble P-selectin and increased IL-8 concentration in the culture medium of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. IFN-γ reduced the content of all studied factors in the endothelial cell culture medium. Possible mechanisms of these effects are discussed.
