The participation of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) inPseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) infection was examined. The lethal challenge of Pa or TNF and LPS injection could be prevented by pretreatment with anti-TNF antibody, polymyxin B, ONO 1078, or Shosaiko-to. The combined effects of TNF and LPS may be deeply related to the lethality of Pa infection. The activities of leukotriene(LT) C4/D4/E4 or platelet activating factor (PAF) were also related to the lethality of Pa infection, probably due to the subsequently produced TNF which acts in combination with LPS. Activating the host defence mechanism with biological response modifiers like Chinese medicines was effective against Pa infection. One mechanism could involve an activity as an LT inhibitor or PAF antagonist. Following the administration of TNF and/or LPS, the serum levels of arachidonic cascade products underwent various changes. With a combination of TNF and LPS, there was a synergistic increment of prostaglandins, thromboxane, and LT. Following pretreatment with Shosaiko-to, suppression of LTs was dominant even with the combination of TNF and LPS, which might be related to the lethality of the infection or combined TNF with LPS. 相似文献

The influence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS, endotoxin) or its lipid A component (bacterial and synthetic) on the synthesis of zymosan induced leukotriene C4, prostaglandin E2 and prostacyclin and on the conversion of exogenous arachidonic acid was studied in mouse peritoneal macrophages. It was found that following preincubation with LPS the amount of leukotriene C4 released during phagocytosis of zymosan was substantially decreased. The levels of prostaglandin E2 and prostacyclin, however, were the same in LPS-treated cells and controls. Likewise, pretreatment with LPS impaired the capacity to convert exogenously added arachidonic acid to mono- and di-HETE's. Lipid A (bacterial and synthetic) exhibited the same activity as LPS. LPS had no effect on macrophages of the endotoxin low responder mouse strain (C3H/HeJ). Several explanations could be possible for the observed LPS effect. The finding that low doses of alpha-tocopheryl acetate prevented the LPS-induced decrease of LTC4 synthesis indicates a protective role of this agent. We would, therefore, favour the idea that lipoxygenases undergo oxidative selfinactivation during LPS action. 相似文献

Resident rat peritoneal macrophages synthesize a variety of prostanoids and leukotrienes from arachidonic acid. Overnight treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces the synthesis of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and an altered prostanoid profile that emphasizes the preferential conversion of arachidonic acid to prostacyclin and prostaglandin E2. In these studies, we report that exposure to LPS also caused a strong suppression of 5-lipoxygenase but not 12-lipoxygenase activity, indicated by the inhibition of synthesis of both leukotriene B4 and 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE), but not of 12-HETE. Inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase activity by LPS was both time- and dose-dependent. Treatment of macrophages with prostaglandin E2 partially inhibited leukotriene synthesis, and cyclooxygenase inhibitors partially blocked the inhibition of leukotriene generation in LPS-treated cells. In addition to COX-2, nitric oxide synthase (NOS) was also induced by LPS. Treatment of macrophages with an NO donor mimicked the ability of LPS to significantly reduce leukotriene B4 synthesis. Inhibition of NOS activity in LPS-treated cells blunted the suppression of leukotriene synthesis. Inhibition of both inducible NOS and COX completely eliminated leukotriene suppression. Finally, macrophages exposed to prolonged LPS demonstrated impaired killing of Klebsiella pneumoniae and the combination of NOS and COX inhibitors restored killing to the control level. These results indicate that prolonged exposure to LPS severely inhibits leukotriene production via the combined action of COX and NOS products. The shift in mediator profile, to one that minimizes leukotrienes and emphasizes prostacyclin, prostaglandin E2 and NO, provides a signal that reduces leukocyte function, as indicated by impaired killing of Gram-negative bacteria. 相似文献

The effect of adrenalectomy on the formation of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase products by activated peritoneal rat macrophages was determined. After isolation, the cells were incubated with [1-14C]arachidonic acid and the calcium ionophore A23187 and the metabolites isolated by HPLC chromatography. The main components formed in the controls are 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha, thromboxane B2 and 12-HETE. One peak represents 5,12-di-HETE. Smaller amounts of prostaglandin F2 alpha, prostaglandin E2, prostaglandin D2, leukotriene B4 and 15-HETE are also present. After adrenalectomy, a considerable increase occurs in the amounts of leukotriene B4, 15-HETE and 12-HETE. The increase in the prostaglandins is smaller. The compounds formed from endogenous arachidonic acid are also determined. In the cells of the controls, 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha and thromboxane B2 are produced in higher amounts than leukotriene B4. After adrenalectomy, the formation of leukotriene B4 is much more increased than that of 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha. These effects are most probably related to a diminished amount or inactivation of lipocortin, a glucocorticosteroid-induced peptide with phospholipase A2 inhibitory activity in adrenalectomized animals. 相似文献

Pretreatment with recombinant human granulocyte CSF (G-CSF) protected mice in two different models of septic shock. Intravenous injection of 250 micrograms/kg G-CSF to mice prevented lethality induced by 5 mg/kg LPS. Injection of 50 micrograms/kg G-CSF protected galactosamine-sensitized mice against LPS-induced hepatitis. In either case, this protection was accompanied by a suppression of LPS-induced serum TNF activity. In contrast, when galactosamine-sensitized mice were pretreated with 50 micrograms/kg murine recombinant granulocyte/macrophage CSF instead of G-CSF and subsequently challenged with LPS, serum TNF activity was significantly enhanced and mortality was increased. The suppressive effect of G-CSF on LPS-induced TNF production was also demonstrated in rats. In vivo, no TNF was detectable in the blood of LPS-treated rats, which had been pretreated with G-CSF. Ex vivo, alveolar macrophages, bone marrow macrophages, Kupffer cells, or peritoneal macrophages prepared from G-CSF-treated rats produced significantly less TNF upon stimulation with LPS than corresponding populations from control rats. However, when these macrophage populations were incubated with G-CSF in vitro, LPS-induced TNF production was unaffected. These data suggest that the G-CSF-mediated suppression of TNF production is not a direct effect of G-CSF on macrophages. To examine whether, independent of the protection against LPS, G-CSF treatment still activated neutrophils, it was demonstrated that granulocytes from G-CSF-treated rats were primed for PMA-induced oxidative burst and for ionophore/arachidonic acid-stimulated lipoxygenase product formation. The experiments of this study support the notion that G-CSF is a negative feedback signal for macrophage-derived TNF-alpha production during Gram-negative sepsis. 相似文献

Prior exposure of guinea pig macrophages to LPS (lipopolysaccharide) resulted in reduced cAMP-generating responses to prostaglandin E1 and epinephrine. LPS-induced refractoriness was diminished when LPS treatment was carried out in the presence of an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis, hydrocortisone, or indomethacin, or an inhibitor of protein synthesis, cycloheximide. The release of arachidonic acid and its metabolites, especially prostaglandin E2 and thromboxane B2, increased during incubation of macrophages with LPS. These increases were efficiently antagonized by hydrocortisone, indomethacin, or cycloheximide. Preincubation of macrophages with prostaglandin E1 greatly reduced the subsequent responses of cAMP generation to prostaglandin E1 and unexpectedly also to epinephrine. Thus, increased production of prostaglandins during the LPS treatment is likely to be responsible for decreased cAMP responses to subsequent addition of prostaglandin E1 and epinephrine. 相似文献

We investigated the effects of phenelzine and tranylcypromine on the release of prostacyclin, thromboxane A2, prostaglandin E2, and prostaglandin E1 from the isolated perfused rat mesenteric vascular bed. Perfusion of the preparation with phenelzine in concentrations of 15, 45, and 135 microM for 150 min led to attenuated release of all four prostaglandins measured. Inhibition generally occurred with the lowest dose used and was most prominent with the highest concentration. Tranylcypromine also decreased prostaglandin formation. However, low doses were not effective in the suppression of prostacyclin release. Both drugs had an inhibitory effect on production of prostaglandin E1, which is a metabolite of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid, the precursor of arachidonic acid, but this was only shown to be significant with phenelzine. In this work we demonstrate that phenelzine and tranylcypromine have an inhibitory effect on the production of 2-series prostaglandins derived from arachidonic acid, and possibly a similar effect on prostaglandins of the 1-series derived from dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid. 相似文献

Cytochalasin B inhibits the production of prostaglandins by serum-, thrombin-, and bradykinin-stimulated MC5-5 cells. The serum-stimulated release of arachidonic acid from cellular phospholipids also is inhibited. Cytochalasin B does not affect the cells' prostaglandin synthetase activity when exogenous arachidonic acid is present. Deacylation of phospholipids may be the step affected by cytochalasin B possibly as a result of disruption of microfilament organization. Colchicine and vinblastine, two drugs that can disrupt microtubule organization, do not inhibit prostaglandin production by cells. 相似文献

We observed the effects of a chinese herb medicine Sho-saiko-to on the lethal and antitumor activities of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor (rhTNF) administered in mice. Sho-saiko-to was noted to protect the rhTNF-induced lethality in galactosamine-hypersensitized mice, and also Sho-saiko-to pretreated mice was protected against the decrease of rectal temperature after rhTNF administration. On the other hand, there was a remarkable enhancement of antitumor activity of rhTNF by Sho-saiko-to pretreatment. These results suggest that Sho-saiko-to drug may protect mice from severe shock syndrome induced by rhTNF. 相似文献

Effects of 16,16-dimethyl prostaglandin E2 and indomethacin on leukotriene B4 and inflammation in rabbit colitis 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The role of increased prostaglandin production and the effects of exogenous prostaglandins on inflammation of colitis are not established. We administered intramuscular 16,16-dimethyl prostaglandin E2 (DiM-PGE2) and indomethacin to rabbits with formalin immune-complex colitis and measured leukotriene B4 (LTB4), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and severity of inflammation. DiM-PGE2 (100 micrograms/kg/BID) reduced LTB4 production (from 401 +/- 108 to 216 +/- 58 pg/ml) and infiltration of neutrophils, mucosal necrosis, inflammatory exudate and edema (all P less than 0.05). Other studies determined that parenteral DiM-PGE2 did not reduce the initial chemical damage induced by formalin, suggesting that cytoprotection of chemical insult was not the mechanism of suppressed inflammation in the immune colitis model. Indomethacin (10 mg/kg/d) reduced endogenous PGE2 by 80%, but did not reduce leukotriene production or inflammation. Exogenous prostaglandins cause a dose-dependent suppression of inflammation in experimental colitis, by a mechanism other than cytoprotection of chemical-induced mucosal injury. 相似文献

Relationship of thrombin-stimulated arachidonic acid release and metabolism to mitogenesis and phosphatidylinositol synthesis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Thrombin and certain prostaglandins are both capable of stimulating the proliferation of cultured cells. Since thrombin stimulates the release and metabolism of arachidonic acid, the precursor of prostaglandins, we examined the relationship between this release and metabolism and the stimulation of cell division in cultured fibroblasts. We also examined the role of prostaglandin synthesis in thrombin-stimulated phosphatidylinositol synthesis. The data in this report demonstrate that the release and metabolism of arachidonic acid are not necessary for thrombin-stimulated cell division. The presence of a low concentration of chymotrypsin prevented thrombin-stimulated arachidonic acid release and metabolism without affecting the stimulation of cell division. Furthermore, thrombin-stimulated cell division occurred in the presence of indomethacin concentrations that prevented cyclooxygenase-mediated metabolism of arachidonic acid. The following experiments showed that thrombin-stimulated phosphatidylinositol synthesis was brought about by a cyclooxygenase-mediated metabolite(s) of arachidonic acid. Indomethacin inhibited the cyclooxygenase-mediated metabolism of arachidonic acid without affecting the thrombin-stimulated release of arachidonic acid. Indomethacin also inhibited thrombin-stimulated phosphatidylinositol synthesis. The dose dependence of this inhibition paralleled the inhibition by indomethacin of cyclooxygenase-mediated metabolism of arachidonic acid. In addition, prostaglandin F2 alpha stimulated phosphatidylinositol synthesis in the presence of indomethacin concentrations which prevented thrombin-stimulated phosphatidylinositol synthesis. 相似文献

The microsomes of rabbit kidney medulla converted arachidonic acid into prostaglandin E2 in the presence of hemoglobin, tryptophan and glutathione as activators. When themicrosomal suspension was treated with 1% Tween 20, a solubilized enzyme was obtained which catalyzed the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins G2 and H2. The solubilized enzyme was adsorbed to and then eluted from an omega-aminooctyl Sepharose 4B column, resulting in about 10-fold purification over the microsomes. The partially purified enzyme produced predominantly prostaglandin G2 in the presence of hemoglobin, while prostaglandin H2 was produced in the presence of both hemoglobin and tryptophan. The stimulation of prostaglandin endoperoxide formation was also observed with other heme and aromatic compounds. Prostaglandin H2 synthesis was inhibited by a variety of compounds including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, thiol compounds and prostaglandin analogues with a thiol group(s). 相似文献

Radioimmunologic identification of prostaglandins produced by serum-stimulated mouse embryo palate mesenchyme cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

High-performance liquid chromatography and radioimmunoassay were used to identify the prostaglandins synthesized by mouse embryo palate mesenchyme cells. Serum stimulated the release of several different metabolites of arachidonic acid including 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha (the stable product of prostacyclin, prostaglandin I2), prostaglandin E2 and prostaglandin F2 alpha. Compared to control cells, the serum-stimulated cells produce elevated levels of prostaglandin E2 (36-fold), 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha (15-fold) and prostaglandin F2 alpha (7-fold). The acetylenic analogue of arachidonic acid, 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraynoic acid prevented this accelerated synthesis. 相似文献

Abstract— Particulate fractions from rat brain homogenate containing the synaptosomes synthesize and release prostaglandins F and E on aerobic incubation. The prostaglandin of the F-typc released could be further identified as proslaglandin F2α using specific radioimmunoassays for prostaglandins F1α, and F2α-. The metabolite 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandin F2α could not be detected. The amount of prostaglandins released is dependent on incubation time and temperature as well as pH and osmolarity of the incubation medium. Total brain homogenate released more prostaglandins than purified synaptosomes per mg protein, indicating that synaptosomes are probably not a main source of prostaglandins when compared with other subcellular brain fractions. While prostaglandin synthesis was only moderately increased by the addition of the precursor fatty acid arachidonic acid, anti-inflammatory drugs like indomethacin, high concentrations of some local anaesthetics and Δ1-tetrahydrocannabinol inhibited prostaglandin release. The neurotransmitters noradrenaline, dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine did not influence prostaglandin release from the synaptosomal rat brain fractions. 相似文献

Abstract The effect of cyclosporin A (CsA) on tumor necrosis factor (TNF) or interleukin-6 (IL-6) production was evaluated in vivo in primed or unprimed mice challenged with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Both pretreatment with BCG infection or with muramyl dipeptide (MDP) prior to LPS challenge resulted in an increase in the cytokine bioactivity level in the blood. CsA administration inhibited the TNF production. In unprimed mice, either normal or sensitized to LPS lethality by galactosamine treatment, a marked decrease in the cytokine level was observed after injection of CsA. After adrenalectomy, the yield of both TNF and IL-6 following LPS injection was markedly elevated but decreased by CsA administration. Ex vivo experiments have shown that the inhibitory effect of CsA could be demonstrated at the level of macrophages from mice previously given the drug. If mice had received MDP, in vitro responses of cells to LPS were enhanced but again CsA decreased the mRNA expression and protein secretion. 相似文献

Fever induction by localized subcutaneous inflammation in guinea pigs: the role of cytokines and prostaglandins. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

In guinea pigs, dose-dependent febrile responses can be induced by injection of a high (100 micro g/kg) or low (10 micro g/kg) dose of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into artificial subcutaneously implanted Teflon chambers. In this fever model, LPS does not enter the systemic circulation from the site of localized tissue inflammation in considerable amounts but causes a local induction of the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), which can be measured in lavage fluid collected from the chamber area. Only in response to the high LPS dose, small traces of TNF are measurable in blood plasma. A moderate increase of circulating IL-6 occurs in response to administration of both LPS doses. To investigate the putative roles of TNF and prostaglandins in this fever model, a neutralizing TNF binding protein (TNF-bp) or a nonselective inhibitor of cyclooxygenases (diclofenac) was injected along with the high or low dose of LPS into the subcutaneous chamber. In control groups, both doses of LPS were administered into the chamber along with the respective vehicles for the applied drugs. The fever response to the high LPS dose remained unimpaired by treatment with TNF-bp despite an effective neutralization of bioactive TNF in the inflamed tissue area. In response to the low LPS dose, there was an accelerated defervescence under the influence of TNF-bp. Blockade of prostaglandin formation with diclofenac completely abolished fever in response to both LPS doses. In conclusion, prostaglandins seem to be essential components for the manifestation of fever in this model. 相似文献

The phospholipids of rabbit alveolar macrophages were pulse-labelled with [(14)C]-arachidonic acid, and the subsequent release of labelled prostaglandins was measured. Resting macrophages released measurable amounts of arachidonic acid, the prostaglandins E(2), D(2) and F(2alpha) and 6-oxoprostaglandin F(1alpha). Phagocytosis of zymosan increased the release of arachidonic acid and prostaglandins to 2.5 times the control value. In contrast, phagocytosis of inert latex particles had no effect on prostaglandin release. Indomethacin inhibited the release of prostaglandin, and, at high doses (20mug/ml), increased arachidonic acid release. Analysis of the cellular lipids showed that after zymosan stimulation the proportion of label was decreased in phosphatidylcholine, but not in other phospholipids or neutral lipids. Cytochalasin B, at a dose of 2mug/ml, inhibited the phagocytosis induced by zymosan but increased prostaglandin synthesis to 3.4 times the control. These data suggest that the stimulation of prostaglandin synthesis by zymosan is not dependent on phagocytosis. Exposure to zymosan also resulted in the release of the lysosomal enzyme, acid phosphatase. Furthermore, cytochalasin B augmented the zymosan-stimulated release of acid phosphatase at the same dose that stimulated prostaglandin synthesis. However, indomethacin, at a dose that completely inhibited prostaglandin synthesis, failed to block the lysosomal enzyme release. Thus despite some parallels between the release of prostaglandins and lysosomal enzymes, endogenous prostaglandins do not appear to mediate the release of lysosomal enzymes. The prostaglandins released from the macrophages may function as humoral substances affecting other cells. 相似文献
