Experimental results to immunomesenchymal suppression.

U Müller, W Wirth, H Kramer

    International Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and Biopharmacy
    |July 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Immunosuppressive drugs require higher doses for mesenchymal suppression than for immune suppression. Antilymphocyte globulin did not affect acid mucopolysaccharides (AMPS) in connective tissue diseases.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Pharmacology
    • Connective Tissue Biology

    Background:

    • Autoimmune diseases affecting connective tissue often require significant therapeutic intervention.
    • Understanding the differential effects of immunosuppressive and mesenchymosuppressive agents is crucial for effective treatment.
    • The role of acid mucopolysaccharides (AMPS) in granulation tissue response needs further elucidation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effects of antilymphocyte globulin, prednisolone, cyclophosphamide, and azathioprine on mesenchymal and immune reactions.
    • To compare the effective dosages for mesenchymal suppression versus immunosuppression.
    • To assess the impact of these agents on 35SO4-uptake in AMPS within granulation tissue.

    Main Methods:

    • Rats were treated with antilymphocyte globulin, prednisolone, cyclophosphamide, and azathioprine to measure wet weight of cotton-pellet granuloma and 35SO4-uptake in AMPS.
    • Mice were treated with the same agents to quantify plaque-forming cells (PFC) as a measure of immune response.
    • Dosage-response relationships were analyzed for both mesenchymal and immune suppression.

    Main Results:

    • All tested substances demonstrated both immunosuppressive and mesenchymosuppressive effects.
    • The effective dosage for mesenchymal suppression was consistently higher than that for immunosuppression.
    • Antilymphocyte globulin did not alter 35SO4-uptake in AMPS, indicating a specific effect on immune pathways rather than connective tissue matrix synthesis.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings support clinical observations that autoimmune diseases localized in connective tissue necessitate higher drug dosages during acute inflammatory phases.
    • Differential dosing strategies are required for mesenchymosuppressive versus immunosuppressive actions of these drugs.
    • Antilymphocyte globulin's lack of effect on AMPS suggests its primary mechanism in these diseases is immunomodulation.
