Suppression of mitogen-induced lymphocyte proliferation by syringomycin-E

Abstract

Syringomycin E (SR-E) is low molecular weight bacterial lipodepsipeptide with antifungal properties. Owing to immunosuppressive activities of such compounds as cyclosporine, FK506 and rapamycin, we studied the effect of SR-E on proliferation of human blood lymphocytes in vitro. SR-E, by itself, had no effect but the mitogen-induced lymphocyte proliferation was significantly suppressed. The suppressive effect was more pronounced with pokeweed mitogen (PWM) as compared to phytohemagglutinin (PHA) or monoclonal antibody to CD3 (anti-CD3). Since these mitogens induce cellular immunity (T cell-dependent), SR-E may potentially be a novel immunosuppressive compound.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/74267/1/j.1574-695X.1996.tb00069.x.pd
