What are the effects of Zileuton on cytokine levels and immune cell profiles in the lungs of MHV-3-infected mice?

Topic
Inflammatory cytokines and immune cell infiltration play a critical role in the pathogenesis of severe coronavirus infections. A study evaluated the impact of Zileuton on cytokine levels and immune cell profiles in the lungs of infected mice.
Answer
Zileuton treatment led to higher levels of IL-10 and IFN-γ, while reducing levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines like CXCL-2, IL-1β, and CXCL-1. The treatment also increased the number of IL-10-producing neutrophils and reduced TNF-producing dendritic cells in the lungs. At 5 days post-infection, treated mice showed increased numbers of Th2, Treg CD4+, and Treg CD8+ cells producing IL-10, and reduced Th1 infiltrating cells.
