Abstract

Theirmechanismofactioniswelldocumentedbuttheirdirecteffectsonhumanmonocytes/ macrophageshavenotbeenfullyinvestigated.Theobjectiveofthisstudywastoevaluate in vitro the influence ofthesedrugsonmonocytes/macrophagesfromhealthyvolunteers. Human monocyteswereisolatedfromhealthyanonymousvolunteersandculturedassuchordif- ferentiatedtomonocyte-derivedmacrophages(MDMs).Theeffectoftocilizumab,etanerceptandaba- tacept (atconcentrationssimilartothoseinplasmaofpatients)onsuperoxideanionproduction,matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9)geneexpressionandactivity,PeroxisomeProliferator-ActivatedReceptor (PPAR)γ expressionandcellphenotypewasevaluated. Exposure ofmonocytes/macrophagestotocilizumab,etanerceptorabataceptresultedinasignificant decrease ofthePMA-inducedsuperoxideanionproduction.Interestingly,theexpressionofPPARγ was significantly increasedonlybytocilizumab,whileetanerceptwastheonlyoneabletosignificantly re- duce MMP-9geneexpressionandinhibittheLPS-inducedMMP-9activityinmonocytes.Wheneta- nerceptandabataceptwereaddedtothedifferentiatingmedium,bothsignificantly reducedtheamount of CD206þMDM.
