Abstract

The effects of L-glutamic acid on the differentiation of HL-60 and K-562 cell lines and on the expression level of mRNAs encoding IL-1β, IL-6, and TNFa were studied. It was shown that TNFa actively induces the differentiation of these cell lines, whereas L-glutamic acid enhances its effect. Our results indicated that L-glutamic acid modulates the physiological state of the myeloid cell line in blood, in particular, by affecting both the reception and expression of cytokines functionally important for these cells.
