Abstract: Objective: To determine the effects of itraconazole on the migration of murine bone marrow derived dendritic cells (DCs) and the secretion of MMPs and RANTES. Methods: DCs were cultivated for 8 days with rmGM-CSF. DCs were divided into the control group and itraconazole (0.25, 0.5, 1 μM ) group. The viability and migration of DCs were determined by CCK-8 assay and transwell assay respectively. The levels of MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-8, MMP-12 and RANTES were detected by Luminex. The levels of MHCII, CD80, CD86 and CCR7 were measured by flow cytometry. Results: The cytotoxicity of itraconazole on DCs was time- and dose-dependent. The migration rate and the levels of MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-12 and RANTES in the itraconazole group were lower than those in the control group (Ps<0.05). There was no significant difference in the level of CCR and MMP-8 between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: Itraconazole can inhibit the DCs cell migration and secretion of MMPs and RANTES.

Key words: itraconazole, DCs, migration, MMPs, RANTES
