简介：AbstractPurpose:The combined use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicine to manage bacterial endotoxin-induced inflammation following injuries or diseases is increasing. The cytokine level produced by macrophages plays an important role in this treatment course. Ciprofloxacin and indomethacin, two typical representatives of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicine, are cost-effective and has been reported to show satisfactory effect. The current study aims to investigate the effect of ciprofloxacin along with indomethacin on the secretion of inflammatory cytokines by macrophages in vitro.Methods:Primary murine peritoneal macrophages and RAW 264.7 cells were administrated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 24 h. The related optimal dose and time point of ciprofloxacin or indomethacin in response to macrophage inflammatory response inflammation were determined via macrophage secretion induced by LPS. Then, the effects of ciprofloxacin and indomethacin on the secretory functions and viability of various macrophages were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and flow cytometry analysis, especially for the levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. The optimal dose and time course of ciprofloxacin affecting macrophage inflammatory response were determined by testing the maximum inhibitory effect of the drugs on pro-inflammatory factors at each concentration or time point.Results:According to the levels of cytokines secreted by various macrophages (1.2 × 106 cells/well) after administration of 1 μg/mL LPS, the optimal dose and usage timing for ciprofloxacin alone were 80 μg/mL and 24 h, respectively, and the optimal dose for indomethacin alone was 10 μg/mL. Compared with the LPS-stimulated group, the combination of ciprofloxacin and indomethacin reduced the levels of IL-1β (p < 0.05), IL-6 (p < 0.05), IL-10 (p < 0.01)), and TNF-α (p < 0.01). Furthermore, there was greater stability in the reduction of inflammatory factor levels in the combination group compared with those in which only ciprofloxacin or indomethacin was used.Conclusion:The combination of ciprofloxacin and indomethacin suppressed the levels of inflammatory cytokines secreted by macrophages in vitro. This study illustrates the regulatory mechanism of drug combinations on innate immune cells that cause inflammatory reactions. In addition, it provides a new potential antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment pattern to prevent and cure various complications in the future.

简介：AbstractObjective:To identify potential early diagnostic markers for hepatitis B progression to primary liver carcinoma using routine immunological tests based on 6 cytokine combinations.Methods:Eight hundred and ninety-nine patients with hepatitis B progressing to early primary liver carcinoma admitted to and treated at Changhai Hospital, Naval Military Medical University, Shanghai, China between March 2015 and June 2017 were included in this observational study, including 666 patients with HBsAg+, HBeAb+, HBcAb+ liver carcinoma and 233 patients with HBsAg+, HBeAg+, HBcAb+ liver carcinoma. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the efficiency of the different cytokine in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with hepatitis B. This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Changhai Hospital, Naval Military Medical University, China (approval No. CHEC2020-080) on June 6, 2020.Results:Changed levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-2R, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The area under the ROC curve, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and Youden index for the diagnosis of primary liver carcinoma using the combination of IL-1β, IL-2R, IL-8, and TNF-α were 0.938, 79.2%, 96.7%, 96%, 82.0%, 0.759, respectively. The serum alpha-fetoprotein level in patients with primary liver carcinoma was positively correlated with IL-2R (r=0.3502, P < 0.001), IL-8 (r=0.1558, P=0.0273), and TNF-α (r=0.2544, P < 0.001) levels. The equation fitted to the results was logit(P)=0.086+ 0.01 × IL-2R-0.001 × IL-8-0.033 × TNF-α-0.041 × IL-1β.Conclusion:Our study establishes a novel, potentially valuable diagnostic model based on four cytokines related to the early stages of liver carcinoma.
