Fluoxetine is an antidepressant drug that is heavily preferred in the cure of depression, which is from the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) group. There are many reports on the effect of fluoxetine on the immune system, and its effect on the macrophage cells has never been looked at before. We aimed to demonstrate the cytokine production potential of fluoxetine antidepressant, which is widely used in the clinic, in the J774.2 cell line and its effect on PI3K and P38 pathways. The use of fluoxetine alone in J774.2 macrophage cells showed immunostimulatory properties by inducing the production of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL) IL-6, IL-12p40, and granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) cytokines. It showed anti-inflammatory properties by completely stopping the production of cytokines (IL-6, IL12p40, TNF-α, and GM-CSF) at all concentrations where LPS and fluoxetine were used together. While PI3K and P38 pathways were not effective in the immunostimulatory effect in the presence of the drug agent, we found that the PI3K and P38 pathways were influenced during their anti-inflammatory activity.

Amaç: Hidroksizin hidroklorür son yıllarda anksiyete bozukluğu, ruhsal sıkıntı ve gerginliğin tedavisinde yaygın olarak tercih edilen antihistaminik türevli bir ilaçtır. Literatürde Hidroksizin hidroklorürün bağışıklık sistemi üzerine etkileri ile ilgili yeterli çalışma mevcut değildir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmamızda J774.2 makrofaj hücre hattında lipopolisakkarit (LPS) tehlike sinyali varlığında ve yokluğunda 1, 5,10 ve 20 µg/ml hidroksizin hidroklorür uygulayarak proinflamatuvar sitokin seviyelerine etkilerini araştırdık. İstatistiksel analiz için Student t testi uygulandı (p
