title: [Effects of pulmonary surfactant on the activity of interleukin-1 secreted by macrophages in normal state and in pulmonary fibrosis].
abstract: The article deals with the study of the influence produced by pulmonary surfactant on the activity of interleukin-1 secreted by macrophages which were isolated from the lungs of Wistar male rats 3 weeks after they were given a one-time administration of bleomycin or sodium chloride isotonic solution. Under conditions of prostaglandin synthesis stimulated by lipopolysaccharides and simultaneously inhibited by indomethacin macrophages of the lungs with forming fibrosis secrete an increased amount of interleukin-1. Cultivation of macrophages isolated from fibrosis-affected lungs with surfactant was also accompanied by enhanced activity of this monokine. Interleukin-1 secretion by macrophages of animals with fibrosis was drastically increased in the presence of polymyxin B. Under the same conditions pulmonary surfactant significantly stimulated the activity of monokine which was secreted both by cells of the normal animals and by those obtained from the lungs with fibrosis. Consideration is given to the importance of this phenomenon for the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis.
