In a model of human chorioamnionitis, fetal sheep exposed to a single injection, but not repeated injections, of intra-amniotic endotoxin develop lung injury responses. We hypothesized that repeated exposure to intra-amniotic endotoxin induces endotoxin tolerance. Fetal sheep were given intra-amniotic injections of saline (control) or Escherichia coli LPS O55:B5 (10 mg) either 2 days (2-day group, single exposure), 7 days (7-day group, single exposure), or 2 plus 7 days (2- and 7-day repeat exposure) before preterm delivery at 124 days gestation (term=150 days). Endotoxin responses were assessed in vivo in the lung and liver, and in vitro in monocytes from the blood and the lung. Compared with the single 2-day LPS exposure group, the (2 plus 7 days) repeat LPS-exposed lambs had: 1) decreased lung neutrophil and monocyte inducible NO synthase (NOSII) expression, and 2) decreased lung cytokine and liver serum amyloid A3 mRNA expression. In the lung, serum amyloid A3 mRNA expression decreased in the airway epithelial cells but not in the lung inflammatory cells. Unlike the single 7-day LPS exposure group, peripheral blood and lung monocytes from the repeat-LPS group did not increase IL-6 secretion or hydrogen peroxide production in response to in vitro LPS. Compared with controls, TLR4 expression did not change but IL-1R-associated kinase M expression increased in the monocytes from repeat LPS-exposed lambs. These results are consistent with the novel finding of endotoxin tolerance in preterm fetal lungs exposed to intra-amniotic LPS. The findings have implications for preterm infants exposed to chorioamnionitis for both responses to lung injury and postnatal nosocomial infections. 相似文献

S100A4, a small calcium-binding protein belonging to the S100 protein family, is commonly overexpressed in a variety of tumor types and is widely accepted to associate with metastasis by regulating the motility and invasiveness of cancer cells. However, its biological role in lung carcinogenesis is largely unknown. In this study, we found that S100A4 was frequently overexpressed in lung cancer cells, irrespective of histological subtype. Then we performed knockdown and forced expression of S100A4 in lung cancer cell lines and found that specific knockdown of S100A4 effectively suppressed cell proliferation only in lung cancer cells with S100A4-overexpression; forced expression of S100A4 accelerated cell motility only in S100A4 low-expressing lung cancer cells. PRDM2 and VASH1, identified as novel upregulated genes by microarray after specific knockdown of S100A4 in pancreatic cancer, were also analyzed, and we found that PRDM2 was significantly upregulated after S100A4-knockdown in one of two analyzed S100A4-overexpressing lung cancer cells. Our present results suggest that S100A4 plays an important role in lung carcinogenesis by means of cell proliferation and motility by a pathway similar to that in pancreatic cancer. 相似文献

Retinoic acid-inducible gene-I is induced in endothelial cells by LPS and regulates expression of COX-2 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) induce expression of multiple genes in endothelial cells, which are critical cellular effectors in various pathologic syndromes. Using subtractive hybridization to identify genes that are differentially induced in human endothelial cells treated with LPS, we found that retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) is induced in endothelial cells stimulated with LPS. RIG-I encodes a protein belonging to the DExH-box family which has diverse roles in regulation of gene expression and cellular functions. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is also induced in endothelial cells by LPS. Overexpression of RIG-I selectively upregulated expression of COX-2 and also induced COX-2 promoter activity. RIG-I is an inducible gene in stimulated endothelial cells that may have important roles in vascular pathology by virtue of its ability to regulate expression of the COX-2 gene product. 相似文献

Pulmonary exposure to diesel exhaust particles (DEP) enhances lung inflammation related to bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide [LPS]) in mice. Severe lung inflammation can reportedly induce coagulatory abnormalities and systemic inflammation. This study examined the effects of components of DEP on lung inflammation, pulmonary permeability, coagulatory changes, systemic inflammatory response, and lung-to-systemic translocation of LPS in a murine model of lung inflammation. ICR mice were divided into six experimental groups that intratracheally received vehicle, LPS (2.5 mg/kg), organic chemicals in DEP (DEP-OC; 4 mg/kg) extracted with dicloromethane), residual carbonaceous nuclei of DEP (washed DEP: 4 mg/kg), DEP-OC + LPS, or washed DEP + LPS. Both DEP components exacerbated lung inflammation, vascular permeability, and the increased fibrinogen and E-selectin levels induced by LPS. With overall trends, the exacerbation was more prominent with washed DEP than with DEP-OC. Washed DEP + LPS significantly decreased activated protein C and antithrombin-III and elevated circulatory levels of interleukin (IL)-6, keratinocyte chemoattractant (KC), and LPS as compared with LPS alone, whereas DEP-OC + LPS elevated IL-6, KC, and LPS without significance. These results show that DEP components, especially washed DEP, amplify the effects if LPS on the respiratory system and suggest that they contribute to the adverse health effects of particulate air pollution on the sensitive populations with predisposing vascular and/or pulmonary diseases, including ischemic vascular diseases and respiratory infection. 相似文献

Septic shock is characterized by hypotension and a hyporeactive response to vasopressor agents. The pathogenesis is due to vascular leaks and an increased synthesis of cytokines and nitric oxide (NO). The present study examined the time-dependent alterations of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and the expression of NO synthase (NOS) in lung tissue in a septic rat model. Normal Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats aged 10 weeks received 15 mg/kg lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and then were sacrificed at different time points (1, 3, 6, and 10 hrs). Rats that did not receive LPS were considered to be controls. Both systolic and diastolic pressure decreased in SD rats after LPS administration. Time-dependent onset of features of acute lung injury, such as the infiltration of inflammatory cells and thickening of alveolar septa, were seen in rats that received LPS. A 2.8-fold increase in the expression of preproET-1 level was observed in lung tissue 6 hrs after LPS administration. The expression of endothelial NOS (eNOS) was also altered in lung tissue in a time-dependent fashion. After the administration of LPS, there was a 16-fold increase in the expression of eNOS mRNA. The peak expression of inducible NOS (iNOS) in lung tissue specimens obtained from rats that received LPS was 45-fold higher than that in control rats. ET-1 is a potent vasoconstrictor and thereby may play an important role in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury in a septic rat model. The increased expression of NOS may result in excess NO production and may also play a role in the pulmonary complications of endotoxemia. 相似文献

Glucocorticoids (GC) are commonly used anti-inflammatory drugs, but long-term use can result in marked growth retardation in children due to their actions on growth plate chondrocytes. To gain an insight into the mechanisms involved in GC-induced growth retardation, we performed Affymetrix microarray analysis of the murine chondrogenic cell line ATDC5, incubated with 10(-6) M dexamethasone (Dex) for 24 h. Downregulated genes included secreted frizzled-related protein and IGF-I, and upregulated genes included serum/GC-regulated kinase, connective-tissue growth factor, and lipocalin 2. Lipocalin 2 expression increased 40-fold after 24-h Dex treatment. Expression increased further after 48-h (75-fold) and 96-h (84-fold) Dex treatment, and this response was Dex concentration dependent. Lipocalin 2 was immunolocalized to both proliferating and hypertrophic growth plate zones, and its expression was increased by Dex in primary chondrocytes at 6 h (3-fold, P < 0.05). The lipocalin 2 response was blocked by the GC-receptor antagonist RU-486 and was increased further by the protein synthesis blocker cycloheximide. Proliferation in lipocalin 2-overexpressing cells was less than in control cells (49%, P < 0.05), and overexpression caused an increase in collagen type X expression (4-fold, P < 0.05). The effects of lipocalin 2 overexpression on chondrocyte proliferation (64%, P < 0.05) and collagen type X expression (8-fold, P < 0.05) were further exacerbated with the addition of 10(-6) M Dex. This synergistic effect may be explained by a further increase in lipocalin 2 expression with Dex treatment of transfected cells (45%, P < 0.05). These results suggest that lipocalin 2 may mediate Dex effects on chondrocytes and provides a potential novel mechanism for GC-induced growth retardation. 相似文献

Induction of proinflammatory and chemokine genes by lipopolysaccharide and paclitaxel (Taxol) in murine and human breast cancer cell lines 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
In murine macrophages, the anti-tumor agent, paclitaxel, induces expression of a wide variety of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory genes, and causes cytokine secretion via signaling pathways that overlap with those engaged by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the endotoxic component of Gram-negative bacteria. Using semi-quantitative RT-PCR for detection of gene expression, coupled with ELISA for the detection of secreted gene products, we analyzed the responsiveness of an extensive panel of cytokine and non-cytokine genes to induction by paclitaxel and LPS in the murine DA-3 breast cancer line. A subset of the genes examined (e.g., G-CSF, MIP-2, iNOS, and IL-1 beta, and GM-CSF) was upregulated >3-20-fold by both LPS and paclitaxel in the DA-3 cell line, while IP-10 mRNA was induced by paclitaxel, but not by LPS. In the human MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line, LPS also increased mRNA levels for both GM-CSF and IP-10 significantly, while, paclitaxel increased IP-10 mRNA levels with delayed kinetics and failed to induce GM-CSF mRNA. Co-cultures of murine breast cancer cells and macrophages, stimulated with IFN-gamma plus either paclitaxel or LPS, resulted in augmented release of nitric oxide. As both GM-CSF and IP-10 have been implicated in tumor rejection in vivo through either indirect actions on the host immune system or by inhibiting tumor angiogenesis, our data strengthen the hypothesis that tumor cell-derived inflammatory mediators may, in part, underlie the anti-tumor efficacy of paclitaxel in breast cancer. 相似文献

目的:探讨内、外源性硫化氢(H2S)在脂多糖(LPS)所致大鼠急性肺损伤(ALI)中的作用并初探其机制。方法:将120只SD大鼠随机分为对照组、IPS组(经气管内滴注LPS复制ALI模型)、NaHS+LPS组和炔丙基甘氨酸(PPG)+LPS组。给药后4h或8h处死动物,测定肺系数;光镜观察肺组织形态学改变;化学法检测血浆H2S、NO和CO含量、肺组织丙二醛(MDA)含量、胱硫醚-γ-裂解酶(CSE)、诱导型一氧化氮合酶(iNOS)和血红素加氧酶(HO)活性以及支气管肺泡灌洗液(BALF)中中性粒细胞(PMN)数目和蛋白含量的变化;用免疫组织化学法检测肺组织iNOS、HO-1蛋白表达。再将血浆H2S含量与上述指标进行相关性分析。结果:气管内滴注LPS可引起肺组织明显的形态学改变;肺系数和肺组织MDA含量增加;BALF中PMN数目和蛋白含量增加;血浆H2S含量和肺组织CSE活性下降;肺组织iNOS活性、HO活性和iNOS蛋白表达、HO-1蛋白表达增强,血浆NO含量、CO含量增加。预先给予NaHS可显著减轻LPS所致上述指标的改变;而预先给予PIG可加重LPS所致肺损伤,使BALF中PMN数目和蛋白含量、血浆NO含量、肺组织iNOS活性和iNOS蛋白表达进一步增加,但对血浆CO含量、肺组织HO活性和HO-1蛋白表达无明显影响。HS含量与CSE活性、血浆CO含量、肺组织HO-1活性呈正相关(r值=0.945—0.987,P均〈0.01);与其他指标呈负相关(r值=-0.994~-0.943,P均〈0.01)。结论:H2S/CSE体系的下调在LPS所致大鼠Ⅲ的发病学中有一定作用,内、外源性H2S具有抗LPS所致Au的作用,该作用可能与其抗氧化效应、减轻PMN所致肺过度的炎症反应以及下调NO/iNOS体系、上调CO/HO—1体系有一定关系。 相似文献

Background
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common pathological phenomenon, which causes hepatic injury as well as remote organ injuries such as the lung. Several mediators, such as oxidative stress, Ca2+ overload and neutrophil infiltration, have been implied in the pathogenesis of liver and remote organ injuries following reperfusion. WNT1 inducible signaling pathway protein 1 (WISP1) is an extracellular matrix protein that has been associated with the onset of several malignant diseases. Previous work in our group has demonstrated WISP1 is upregulated and contributes to proinflammatory cascades in hepatic IRI. However, the role of WISP1 in the pathogenesis of lung injury after hepatic IRI still remains unknown.Methods
Male C57BL/6 mice were used to examine the expression and role of WISP1 in the pathogenesis of lung injuries after hepatic IRI and explore its potential mechanisms in mediating lung injuries.Results
We found WISP1 was upregulated in lung tissues following hepatic IRI. Treatment with anti-WISP1 antibody ameliorated lung injuries with alteration of cytokine profiles. Administration with rWISP1 aggravated lung injuries following hepatic IRI through excessive production of proinflammatory cytokines and inhibition of anti-inflammatory cytokines.Conclusions
In this study, we concluded that WISP1 contributed to lung injuries following hepatic IRI through TLR4 pathway.16.

Phosphodiesterase 2A (PDE2A) is stimulated by cGMP to hydrolyze cAMP, a potent endothelial barrier-protective molecule. We previously found that lung PDE2A contributed to a mouse model of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). The purpose of the present study was to determine the contribution of PDE2A in a two-hit mouse model of 1-day intratracheal (IT) LPS followed by 4 h of 20 ml/kg tidal volume ventilation. Compared with IT water controls, LPS alone (3.75 μg/g body wt) increased lung PDE2A mRNA and protein expression by 6 h with a persistent increase in protein through day 4 before decreasing to control levels on days 6 and 10. Similar to the PDE2A time course, the peak in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) neutrophils, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and protein concentration also occurred on day 4 post-LPS. IT LPS (1 day) and VILI caused a threefold increase in lung PDE2A and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and a 24-fold increase in BAL neutrophilia. Compared with a control adenovirus, PDE2A knockdown with an adenovirus expressing a short hairpin RNA administered IT 3 days before LPS/VILI effectively decreased lung PDE2A expression and significantly attenuated BAL neutrophilia, LDH, protein, and chemokine levels. PDE2A knockdown also reduced lung iNOS expression by 53%, increased lung cAMP by nearly twofold, and improved survival from 47 to 100%. We conclude that in a mouse model of LPS/VILI, a synergistic increase in lung PDE2A expression increased lung iNOS and alveolar inflammation and contributed significantly to the ensuing acute lung injury. 相似文献

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces acute lung injury (ALI) via Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-mediated MAPK activation. The lipid A fraction of LPS is considered to be the active moiety, but whether the lipid A-TLR4 interaction accounts completely for ALI-associated MAPK activation in vivo has not been determined. The lipid A fraction of LPS induces a discrete MAPK activation pattern in murine ALI. Mice (C57BL/6J, C3H/HeJ) were treated with intratracheal instillations of purified lipid A or LPS (10, 30, and 100 microg per mouse) or vehicle. ALI was assessed by histology. Chromogenic myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity was measured in lung homogenates. MAPK expression was quantified by immunoblotting. In vitro ERK inhibitor studies using thioglycollate-elicited macrophages were also performed. MPO increased in a dose- and time-responsive fashion. Notably, MPO was 2.4-fold greater after lipid A compared with LPS and vehicle at 6 h after instillation (lipid A, 0.88 +/- 0.25 vs. LPS, 0.37 +/- 0.21 optical density units.min(-1).mg(-1); P < 0.05). However, ALI scores were comparable at 6 and 24 h between LPS and lipid A. MPO was also comparable in vehicle-treated or C3H/HeJ mice treated with LPS or lipid A at 6 and 24 h. Phospho-ERK activation was pronounced at 6 and 24 h after lipid A but not LPS treatment. In vitro studies confirmed the relationship between phospho-ERK activation and cytokine expression in macrophage stimulated with either LPS or lipid A. Compared with whole LPS, the lipid A fraction is associated with amplified whole lung MPO and ERK activation 6 h after intratracheal instillation in mice. 相似文献

Inhibitory effects of highly purified vitamin B2 (riboflavin-5'-sodium phosphate, >97%) on the interleukin (IL)-6, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-2 and nitric oxide (NO) in LPS-induced shock mice were evaluated. Vitamin B2 at 20 mg/kg (protective effect on mice mortality induced by LPS), intravenously administered 6 h after LPS injection, significantly decreased the plasma elevated levels of IL-6 and MIP-2 at 9 and 12 h. In addition, vitamin B2 lowered the tissue concentration and the mRNA expression of IL-6 in lung and those of MIP-2 in liver at 9 h. Vitamin B2 also reduced concentration of MIP-2 concentration in lung, and inhibited mRNA expression in kidney, respectively. Vitamin B2 decreased the plasma elevated NO levels in accordance with a reduction in expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) both at 21 and 24 h. Accordingly, the reduction in elevated plasma cytokine levels and NO based on the inhibitory effect on local cytokine mRNA expression and iNOS would be responsible for the anti-septic effect of vitamin B2. 相似文献
