ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To study the role of Novaferon on TNF-α production and expression of NF-κB mRNA in monocytes isolated from normal human peripheral blood and to provide theoretical basis for treatment of immunological diseases with Novaferon.@*METHODS@#Monocytes were isolated from the peripheral blood in 30 healthy volunteers and divided into 5 groups group A was blank control, group B was stimulated by LPS without Novaferon intervention, group C by LPS together with Novaferon intervention, group D by LPS before Novaferon intervention, which group E by LPS after Novaferon intervention. We detected the concentration of TNF-α after LPS stimulation and Novaferon intervention in the supernatant by ELISA and expression of NF-κB mRNA by RT-PCR.@*RESULTS@#Novaferon inhibited TNF-α production by monocytes isolated from healthy volunteers induced by LPS in vitro in group D compared with group B [(1446.76±72.36) pg/mL vs (946.46±46.12) pg/mL, P0.05; (1446.76±72.36) pg/mL vs (1383.62±86.96) pg/mL, P>0.05]. There was significant change in NF-κB mRNA expression in group D compared with group B (0.2829±0.0365 vs 0.4994±0.0604, P0.05; 0.4767±0.0600 vs 0.4994±0.0604, P>0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Novaferon can suppress TNF-α secretion by monocytes induced by LPS in vitro, and it can affect the immunity function of monocytes, which may be associated with the downregulation of NF-κB mRNA expression in monocytes.
