title: Influence of salbutamol and isoproterenol on the production of TNF and reactive oxygen species by bovine alveolar macrophages and calcitriol differentiated HL-60 cells.
abstract: The influence of the beta-adrenergic agonists Salbutamol and Isoproterenol on the release of reactive oxygen species and Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) was tested with bovine alveolar macrophages and HL-60 cells differentiated to macrophages by calcitriol. The production of reactive oxygen species was analyzed by a microplate assay using dichlorofluorescein-diacetate. It could be shown that this method almost exclusively measures superoxide anions. TNF was determined by a bioassay with WEHI cells. The superoxide anion production was stimulated by Zymosan, the TNF release by LPS. By incubation with 5 x 10(-6) and 5 x 10(-7) M Salbutamol or 5 x 10(-7) and 5 x 10(-8) M Isoproterenol prior to the stimulation, the production of superoxide anions as well as of TNF was inhibited to a significant degree. The inhibitory effects of the adrenergic agonists were completely or at least partially inhibited by the respective antagonists, ICI 118.551 and Propranolol, respectively.
