Effects of 2-deoxy-D-glucose administration on cytokine production in BDF1 micePhysical exercise and diet changes have been shown to affect immune parameters, and similar effects are also induced by the administration of a nonmetabolizable glucose analog, 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG). The present study was designed to characterize the effects of glucoprivation induced by 2-DG administration on concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), and IL-6 in the blood and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), IL-2, and IL-4 in vitro production by partially purified T splenocytes in BDF1 mice. Mice (n = 8 per group) were injected intraperitoneally one or three times with 0, 500, 750, or 1000 mg/kg of 2-DG, and blood and spleens were collected 2 h after the last injection. Partially purified T splenocytes were cultured 24 h in the presence of concanavalin A (ConA). A significant increase in the corticosterone levels with the amount of 2-DG injected was observed after one or three injections (p<0.05). The amount of 2-DG injected was associated with an increase in TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-6 concentrations in the blood of mice after one or three injections of 2-DG (p<0.05). A significant decrease in in vitro proliferation of partially purified splenocytes in the presence of ConA was associated with a decrease in IFN-gamma production in the culture supernatants and an increase in IL-1 receptor expression on the cell surface (p<0.05).
