Zusammenfassung
Cholestatic conditions are known to be associated with impaired innate and adaptive immunity, including monocytes, macrophages and T cells function. Recently, we demonstrated that bile acids modulate LPS-induced cytokine expression in primary human macrophages. Bile acids suppress LPS-induced inflammatory cytokine expressions. Moreover, bile acids adapt the activated macrophages to regulatory macrophages, characterized by an increased IL-10/IL-12 ratio. We hypothesize that bile acid influence the expression of genes, which generate the characteristic regulatory macrophages phenotype. Based on this result, an aff…
