Exposure to trichothecenes at levels that partially inhibit translation upregulates expression of many inflammatory and immune-related genes including macrophage, Thl and Th2 cytokines as well as chemokines, cyclooxygenase 2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase.1518 Contrastingly, suppressive effects of trichothecenes on leukocyte function are intimately linked with the induction of apoptosis as has been demonstrated in macrophages, T cells and B cells both in vivo and in vitro.19-20... 

Figure 6. Comparative gene expression ratios in ARF kidneys of MSC- and vehicle-treated animals. Data were generated by referencing each gene to p-actin as internal control. A MSC treatment cansed significant (P < 0.05) suppression (> 10 fold) of proinflammatory IL-ip, TNF a, and IFN-y (above bars actnal valnes). Anti-inflammatory lL-10 was robustly expressed in MSC-and not in vehicle treated animals. Filled bars on all panels depict gene expression ratio of 1, i.e., a value obtained when gene expression ratios between MSC- and vehicle-treated animals are "equal. B MSC treatment cansed increased gene expression of bFGF and TGF-a, whereas that of HGF was suppressed. C antiapoptotic Bcl-2 expression was robnstly indnced, whereas that of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was snppressed in MSC- vs. vehicle-treated animals. eNOS, endothelial NOS.
