| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Harmine suppresses LPS-induced IL-6 production. Target X for harmine is required for the inhibition by harmine on IL-6 production. Furthermore, we found that harmine suppresses LPS-induced endotoxin shock.
While Harmine enhances the development of Treg cells, it inhibits Th17 cell differentiation. We demonstrated that Target X for harmine is required for enhancement of Treg cells and suppression of Th17 cells. These results indicate that harmine regulates the immune responses via the Target X for harmine.
