Clindamycin Modulates Inflammatory-Cytokine Induction in Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulated Mouse Peritoneal Macrophages

ABSTRACT We investigated the mechanism by which clindamycin (CLI) modulates cytokine induction after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. Although CLI decreased the intracellular expression levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and increased IL-6 expression in macrophages, cytokine mRNA expression levels were similar in CLI-treated and untreated groups. Our findings suggest that CLI modulates cytokine production in LPS-stimulated macrophages.
