Abstract
Little has been reported on the drugs inducing production of monocyte-derived cytokines like interleukin (IL)-18 and IL-12. We found that nafamostat mesilate elicits IL-12, IL-18, tumor necrosis factor-α and interferon-γ production, and the expression of intercellular adhesion molecules-1, B7.1, B7.2, CD40, and CD40 ligand in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The cytokine production and adhesion molecule expression were abolished by anti-IL-12 and IL-18 antibodies. Therefore, IL-18 and IL-12 may play roles in the significant and immediate effects of nafamostat mesilate.
