Aim-Orbital inflammation is common, but the mechanisms underlying leucocytic infiltration of orbital tissue are poorly understood. Human orbital fibroblasts (OF) express chemokines, interleukin 8 (IL-8) and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), when exposed to proinflammatory cytokines. The effects of dexamethasone (DEX) and cyclosporin A (CSA) on OF IL-8 and MCP-1 were examined.Methods-Cultured human OF were incubated with recombinant interleukin 1 beta (rIL-1 beta; 0.2, 2.0, 20 ng/ml) alone or incubated with rIL-1 beta and DEX (10(-8), 10(-7), 10(-6) M) or CSA (3, 30, 300 ng/ml) for 24 hours. ELISA and northern blot analyses were performed to determine OF IL-8 and MCP-1 protein secretion and mRNA expression, respectively.Results-OF lacked constitutive IL-8 or MCP-1 expression, but secreted significant amounts of these chemokines and expressed substantial steady state mRNA for both chemokines upon rIL-1 beta stimulation. DEX caused dose dependent inhibition of IL-1 induced IL-8 (p
