Corticosteroid-mediated immunoregulation in man.

T R Cupps, A S Fauci

    Immunological Reviews
    |January 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Glucocorticoids modulate the human immune system through complex mechanisms. Key effects include altering immune cell distribution and potentially eliminating activated lymphocytes, impacting immune regulation.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Endocrinology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Glucocorticoids exert significant influence on human immune responses.
    • The exact mechanisms of corticosteroid-induced immunoregulation remain incompletely understood.
    • While intracellular receptors are involved, they don't fully explain the diverse immune effects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To elucidate the multifaceted mechanisms of corticosteroid-mediated immunoregulation in humans.
    • To explore the roles of cellular redistribution, lymphocyte lysis, and monocyte function modulation.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on glucocorticoid effects on immune cells.
    • Analysis of corticosteroid interactions with mononuclear cells, lymphocytes, and monocytes.
    • Examination of effects on Interleukin-1 production and B cell responses.

    Main Results:

    • Glucocorticoids induce redistribution of mononuclear cells from the bloodstream.
    • Activated lymphocytes may be susceptible to glucocorticoid-induced lysis.
    • Corticosteroids can inhibit monocyte Interleukin-1 production and modulate B cell responses.
    • Effects appear to target early immunoregulatory events rather than established responses.

    Conclusions:

    • Glucocorticoid immunoregulation involves complex mechanisms beyond receptor variations.
    • Cellular redistribution and selective lymphocyte elimination are potential pathways.
    • Modulation of monocyte and B cell functions contributes to overall immune effects.
