The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 2.4 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 2.8 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.5 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00049 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.59 SJR: 0.429 SNIP: 0.507 CiteScore™:: 3.9 H-Index: 49

SINOPSIS

In this study, we investigated the effects of β-lapachone (β-lap) on the production of cytokines in C57BL/6 mice. The culture supernatants of splenocytes exposed to β-lap plus lipopolysaccharide or concanavalin A (Con A) were harvested to determine Th1 (tumor necrosis factor-α, interferon-γ, interleukin [IL]-1β, IL-2, IL-17A, and IL-12) and Th2 (IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, and IL-10) cytokines. IL-2, a Th1 cytokine, was expressed at higher levels in splenocytes treated with β-lap and with lipopolysaccharide plus β-lap. Expression of Th2 cytokines, including IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, and IL-10, was lower in the culture supernatants of mouse splenocytes exposed to Con A plus β-lap than in supernatants from cells that were exposed to Con A alone. These findings demonstrate that β-lap downregulates the immediate hypersensitivity reaction induced by Con A. Therefore, Th2 responses involve the downregulation of IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, and IL-10, preventing the occurrence of allergies and various manifestations of allergic inflammation. These results suggest that β-lap may have potential preventive or adjunct anti-inflammatory therapy applications because of its function in modulating the production of cytokines. However, further in vivo investigations of this process are necessary to elucidate the mechanisms involved.
