pubmed:abstractText |
The synthetic steroid cholesterylphosphoserine (CPHS) inhibited the secretion of TNF-alpha in lipopolysaccharide-challenged human monocytes. CPHS (5-20 microM) was effective when added together with the endotoxin, or after an interval (1-2 h) sufficient to have allowed for initiation of TNF-alpha synthesis. Consistently, CPHS did not alter TNF-alpha gene transcription. In contrast to its action on TNF-alpha, CPHS showed only marginal effects on interleukin 1beta secretion. Given intraperitoneally to mice 2 h before lipopolysaccharide CPHS prevented the rise in plasma TNF-alpha (IC(50): 5 mg/kg). The inhibition of TNF-alpha secretion by CPHS may contribute to the immunosuppressive activity of this steroid.
