Int Immunopharmacol. 2009 Dec;9(13-14):1471-6. Epub 2009 Sep 6.

The serum levels of four important and well characterized inflammatory chemokines including MCP-1/CCL2, RANTES/CCL5, IL-8/CXCL8 and Fractalkine/CX3CL1 were evaluated in sulfur mustard (SM) exposed Iranian population 20 years after exposure.

Hydrogen sulfide (H (2) S), a volatile sulfur compound, is implicated as a cause of inflammation, especially when it is produced by bacteria colonizing gastrointestinal organs.

BACKGROUND: Gas chromatographic documentation of volatile sulfur compounds in Helicobacter pylori cultures and the amelioration of halitosis after eradication suggested a causal link between H. pylori infection and halitosis.
The expressions of cystathionine gamma-lyase (CSE), cystathionine beta-synthetase (CBS), IL-6, IL-8 and IL-1beta mRNA were compared in H. pylori-infected or NaHS-treated gastric epithelial cells according to red ginseng treatment.

Additionally, SM upregulates many inflammatory mediators including interleukin (IL)-1alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and others.

To that end, in this communication, we show that dermal exposure of euthymic hairless guinea pigs induced infiltration of both CD4 (+) and CD8 (+) T cells into the SM-exposed skin and strong upregulated expression of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines (TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, and IL-8) in distal tissues such as the lung and the lymph nodes.

We investigated the effect of hyperthermia and sulfur as possible stress factors at transcriptional level in several proinflammatory genes in fibroblast like synoviocytes.
Stimulation of the cells with IL1beta induced a series of proinflammatory genes (IL1alpha, IL1beta, TNFalpha, IL8, monocyte chemoattractant peptide-1 and COX-2), but if the cells were treated with hyperthermia prior to IL1beta expression, gene expressions were significantly decreased up to 8 h.

Changes in the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 were also observed.
