Abstract

This study investigated whether neuraminidase (Neu) affects LFA-1 mRNA expression in spleen cells and whether somatostatin (SOM) and substance P (SP) treatment induce changes in the Neu mRNA expression level in spleen cells. Neu treatments down-regulated the LFA-1 mRNA levels after culturing for 2 h. SOM increased the Neu mRNA level slightly after 24-h culture and strongly after 48-h culture. These results suggest that prolonged exposure to SOM may regulate the Neu activation pathway, which in turn impairs the regulation of LFA-1 expression.
