19890701 Li T, Zuo X, Zhou Y, Wang Y, Zhuang H, Zhang L, Zhang H, Xiao X: The vagus nerve and nicotinic receptors involve inhibition of HMGB1 release and early pro-inflammatory cytokines function in collagen-induced arthritis. J Clin Immunol. 2010 Mar;30(2):213-20. Epub 2009 Nov 5.

METHODS: Fifty-six male DBA/1 mice were divided into four groups: control mice (sham vagotomy + phosphate-buffered saline; shamVGX+PBS), model mice (shamVGX+PBS+CIA), vagotomy mice (VGX+PBS+CIA), and nicotine (Nic) mice (shamVGX+Nic+CIA).
The concentration of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-10 in serum were evaluated by ELISA.

We showed that stimulation of the JawsII cells with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) led increase of CD80 and CD86 expression while diminishment of the surface nicotinic receptor.
Furthermore, we examined the ability of the cells to release cytokine when stimulated with both nicotine and LPS and showed that the stimulation with LPS augmented the secretion of IL-1a, IL-1b, IL-6, and TNF-alpha.

Mol Med. 2009 Jul-Aug;15(7-8):195-202. Epub 2009 Apr 27.

We report here our findings that GTS-21 attenuates tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin 1beta levels in human whole blood activated by exposure to endotoxin.
The suppressive effect of GTS-21 was more potent than nicotine in whole blood and monocytes.

Pro-inflammatory mediators, including nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), IL-6, and IL-12 were monitored using Griess reagents and ELISA.

Among various subtypes of AGEs, glyceraldehyde-derived AGE (AGE-2) and glycolaldehyde-derived AGE (AGE-3) induce the expressions of intercellular adhesion molecule-1, B7.1, B7.2, and CD40 on monocytes, the production of interferon-gamma and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and the lymphocyte proliferation in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Moreover, oral nicotine inhibited bone degradation and reduced TNFalpha expression in synovial tissue.

Nicotine administration 2 h after ricin injection significantly delayed and reduced ricin-induced mortality, an effect coupled with reduced serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and markers of kidney and liver dysfunction.

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC)-3 and thrombin-antithrombin complexes (TATc) were measured at baseline and at 4 and 8 h after CLP.
