The Role of β-Adrenergic Receptors in the Regulation of the Functions of Innate Immune Cells during Cold Stress In Vivo

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

It was found that 10-min cold stress enhanced stimulated production of ROS, while 60-min cold stress increased both spontaneous and stimulated ROS production by peritoneal macrophages. β-Adrenergic receptor blockade leveled the effect of 10-min stress in stimulated cultures and the effect of 60-min stress in spontaneous cultures. None variants of cold stress affected spontaneous and stimulated production of IL-1β. We observed an increase in the production of IL-1β in stimulated cultures from animals subjected to 10- and 60-min stress against the background of propranolol. At the same time, both variants of cold exposure, irrespective of β-adrenergic receptor blockade, stimulated IL-10 synthesis in spontaneous and activated samples. None of the used models of cold exposure affected the phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages. Thus, β-adrenergic receptors are directly involved in the regulation of cytokine production and microbicidal potential of macrophages in acute cold stress.
