Abstract

AIM:
To study the effect of fibrin fibrinogen degradation products (FFDP) on release of interleukin-1 (IL-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) from mouse peritoneal macrophages, and the effect of a new selectively potent protein kinase C inhibitor Ro 31-8220 (Ro).
METHODS:
IL-1 and IL-6 activities were measured by thymocyte proliferation assay and B9 cell proliferation methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) colorimetric method, respectively.
RESULTS:
Ro 0.01-1 mumol.L-1 obviously inhibited FFDP-induced release of IL-1 and IL-6 from mouse peritoneal macrophages.
CONCLUSION:
Ro exerted inhibitory effects on FFDP-induced release of IL-1 and IL-6 in vitro.
