In this ex vivo laboratory study, we investigated the effects of drotrecogin alfa (activated) (DA(a)), a recombinant form of human activated protein C, on the intracellular expression of interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated human monocytes in a whole blood system. Whole blood samples from 10 healthy volunteers were stimulated with LPS (0.2 ng/mL) and incubated with 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 nM of (final concentration) DA(a) for 3 h at 37 C and 5% CO2. Intracellular expression of IL-6 and TNF-alpha was assessed by flow cytometry. Our investigation showed that DA(a), at any of the concentrations tested, did not affect intracellular IL-6 and TNF-alpha production in LPS-stimulated human monocytes after 3 h of incubation. The results of this investigation led us to conclude that any antiinflammatory activity of DA(a), if present, does not occur via detectible decreases in the production of proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-alpha in human monocytes.
