Polymicrobial sepsis induces suppression of macrophage function as determined by a reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokine production upon re-exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in vitro. We examined whether macrophages were refractory to only LPS challenge or if they were immunoparalyzed and unable to respond to other stimuli such as lipoteichoic acid (LTA) or zymosan (ZYM). This study evaluated the capacity of peritoneal macrophages to produce pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines as well as chemokines following mild or severe sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Peritoneal macrophages were isolated 29 h after CLP and challenged with different stimuli. LPS was a more potent stimulus for cytokine induction than LTA or ZYM in both mild and severe sepsis. In mild sepsis, the macrophage cytokine response to LPS was selective and less refractory than in severe sepsis. While production of IL-6 and KC was reduced, secretion of TNF-alpha and MIP-1alpha was enhanced in those cells isolated from mice with mild sepsis. Production of IL-10 and the IL-1 receptor antagonist , MIP-2, and MCP-1 in response to LPS stimulation was equivalent to the amount produced by naive macrophages. Our results indicate that macrophages are not immunoparalyzed during sepsis and may still be induced to secrete some inflammatory mediators. 相似文献

IL-10 is a potent anti-inflammatory and immune regulatory cytokine. IL-10(-/-) mice produce exaggerated amounts of inflammatory cytokines when stimulated with LPS, indicating that endogenous IL-10 is a central regulator of inflammatory cytokine production in vivo. PGs are lipid mediators that are also produced in large amounts during the inflammatory response. To study the role of IL-10 in the regulation of PG production during the acute inflammatory response, we evaluated LPS-induced cyclooxygenase (COX) expression and PG production in wild-type (wt) and IL-10(-/-) mice. LPS-induced PGE(2) production from IL-10(-/-) spleen cells was 5.6-fold greater than that from wt spleen cells. LPS stimulation resulted in the induction of COX-2 mRNA and protein in both wt and IL-10(-/-) spleen cells; however, the magnitude of increase in COX-2 mRNA was 5.5-fold greater in IL-10(-/-) mice as compared with wt mice. COX-1 protein levels were not affected by LPS stimulation in either wt or IL-10(-/-) mice. Neutralization of IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, or IL-12 markedly decreased the induction of COX-2 in IL-10(-/-) spleen cells, suggesting that increased inflammatory cytokine production mediates much of the COX-2 induction in IL-10(-/-) mice. Treatment of IL-10(-/-) mice with low doses of LPS resulted in a marked induction of COX-2 mRNA in the spleen, whereas wt mice had minimal expression of COX-2 mRNA. These findings indicate that, in addition to IL-10's central role in the regulation of inflammatory cytokines, endogenous IL-10 is an important regulator of PG production in the response to LPS. 相似文献

Dendritic cells (DCs) are major antigen-presenting cells of the immune system, which need to be activated in order to initiate an immune response. Here, we describe the immunostimulatory effects on human monocyte-derived DCs observed upon infection with Listeria monocytogenes or after treatment with listerial lipoteichoic acid (LTA) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), respectively. All stimuli caused upregulation of costimulatory molecules, induced T-cell proliferative responses and secretion of cytokines in vitro. Infection of DCs with L. monocytogenes induced release of interleukin (IL)-12 and IL-18. In contrast treatment with purified listerial LTA yielded high levels of IL-18 release, but only minimal IL-12 production. Treatment of DCs with LPS conversely induced significant amounts of IL-12 production, but no IL-18. The release of both stimulating cytokines IL-12 and IL-18 upon infection with entire bacteria suggests that attenuated strains of L. monocytogenes may be a valuable tool for subunit vaccine delivery. 相似文献

Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is associated with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). High inflammatory cytokine [interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8] levels and low anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-10) levels are indicators of a high risk for developing HUS in STEC-infected children. In this study, we investigated inhibitory action of telithromycin, a ketolide, against STEC and against Stx and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Telithromycin inhibited in vitro STEC growth without inducing Stx phage, in marked contrast to norfloxacin. Stx markedly induced inflammatory (but not anti-inflammatory) cytokine production in human peripheral blood monocytes, while LPS induced both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine production. Telithromycin selectively inhibited the IL-6 and IL-8 production from Stx-stimulated (but not LPS-stimulated) monocytes. The drug did not significantly inhibit IL-10 production. Our data suggest that Stx plays a crucial role in the stimulation of inflammatory cytokines and such inflammatory response is inhibited by telithromycin, an anti-bacterial agent. 相似文献

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is responsible for many of the inflammatory responses and pathogenic effects of Gram-negative bacteria, however, it also induces protective immune responses. LPS induces the production of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-12 from dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages. It is thought that IL-12 is required for one of the protective immune responses induced by LPS, the T helper 1 (Th1)-immune response, which include the production of IFN-γ from Th1cells and IgG2c class switching. Here, we clearly demonstrate that intracellular delivery of LPS by LPS-formulated liposomes (LPS-liposomes) does not induce the production of inflammatory cytokines from DCs, but enhances Th1-immune responses via type-I IFNs, independent of IL-12. Collectively, our results strongly suggest that LPS-liposomes can effectively induce Th1-immune responses without inducing unnecessary inflammation, and may be useful as an immune adjuvant to induce protective immunity. 相似文献

Lipopolysaccharide and lipoteichoic acid induce different innate immune responses in bovine mammary epithelial cells 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The objective of the present study was to characterize the innate immune responses induced by in vitro stimulation of bovine primary mammary epithelial cells (bMEC) using gram-negative lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and gram-positive lipoteichoic acid (LTA) bacterial cell wall components. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was employed to examine the mRNA expression of a panel of 22 cytokines, chemokines, beta-defensins and components of the Toll-Like Receptor signaling pathway. Stimulation of bMEC with LPS for 24h elicited a marked increase in mRNA expression for IL-1beta, IL-8, TNFalpha, CXCL6 and beta-defensin while members of the Toll-Like Receptor pathway, although present, were largely unaffected. Surprisingly, stimulation of these cells with LTA for 24 h did not significantly alter the expression of these genes. A time course of the expression of IL-1beta, IL-8, TNFalpha, CXCL6 and beta-defensin was subsequently performed. The mRNA levels of all genes increased rapidly after stimulation for 2-4 h with both LPS and LTA but only the former treatment resulted in sustained responses. In contrast, the increased gene expression for LTA stimulated cells returned to resting levels after 8-16 h with the exception of beta-defensin, which remained up-regulated. The limited and unsustained cytokine response to LTA may explain why mastitis caused by gram-positive bacteria has greater potential for chronic intra-mammary infection than gram-negative infection. It was concluded that bovine mammary epithelial cells have a strong but differential capacity to mount innate immune responses to bacterial cell wall components. 相似文献

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha production by astrocytes. Induction by lipopolysaccharide, IFN-gamma, and IL-1 beta 总被引:25,自引:0,他引:25
Astrocytes have the capacity to secrete or respond to a variety of cytokines including IL-1, IL-6, IL-3, and TNF-alpha. In this study, we have examined the capacity of astrocytes to secrete TNF-alpha in response to a variety of biologic stimuli, particularly cytokines such as IL-1 and IFN-gamma, which are known to be present in the central nervous system during neurologic diseases associated with inflammation. Rat astrocytes do not constitutively produce TNF-alpha, but have the ability to secrete TNF-alpha in response to LPS, and can be primed by IFN-gamma to respond to a suboptimal dose of LPS. IFN-gamma and IL-1 beta alone do not induce TNF-alpha production, however, the combined treatment of IFN-gamma and IL-1 beta results in a striking synergistic effect on astrocyte TNF-alpha production. Astrocyte TNF-alpha protein production induced by a combined treatment of either IFN-gamma/LPS or IFN-gamma/IL-1 beta occurs in a dose- and time-dependent manner, and appears to require a "priming signal" initiated by IFN-gamma, which then renders the astrocyte responsive to either a suboptimal dose of LPS or IL-1 beta. Astrocyte TNF-alpha production by IFN-gamma/LPS stimulation can be inhibited by the addition of anti-rat IFN-gamma antibody, whereas IFN-gamma/IL-1-induced TNF-alpha production is inhibited by antibody to either IFN-gamma or IL-1 beta. Polyclonal antisera reactive with mouse macrophage-derived TNF-alpha neutralized the cytotoxicity of IFN-gamma/LPS and IFN-gamma/IL-1 beta-induced astrocyte TNF-alpha, demonstrating similarities between these two sources of TNF-alpha. We propose that astrocyte-produced TNF-alpha may have a pivotal role in augmenting intracerebral immune responses and inflammatory demyelination due to its diverse functional effects on glial cells such as oligodendrocytes and astrocytes themselves. 相似文献

IL-10 is considered a potent antiinflammatory cytokine that strongly inhibits the production of proinflammatory cytokines. Recent studies have suggested that IL-10 also has immunostimulatory properties on CD4+, CD8+ T cells, and/or NK cells, resulting in increased IFN-gamma production. To determine the effect of IL-10 on IFN-gamma production and related inflammatory responses in humans, 16 healthy subjects received a bolus i.v. injection of LPS (4 ng/kg) in combination with either placebo or recombinant human IL-10 (25 microg/kg), administered just before or 1 h after LPS. IL-10 treatment, particularly when administered after LPS, enhanced LPS-induced IFN-gamma release, as well as the release of the IFN-gamma-dependent chemokines IFN-gamma-inducible protein-10 and monokine induced by IFN-gamma, while inhibiting or not influencing the production of IFN-gamma-inducing cytokines. In addition, IL-10 treatment enhanced activation of CTLs and NK cells after LPS injection, as reflected by increased levels of soluble granzymes. These data indicate that high-dose IL-10 treatment in patients with inflammatory disorders can be associated with undesired proinflammatory effects. 相似文献

Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) of Gram-positive bacteria initiates innate immune responses via Toll-like receptor-2 (TLR2), resulting in the activation of intracellular signaling and production of inflammatory cytokines in macrophages. Although Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is biologically important molecule implicated in immune regulation and recently in TLR signaling its importance for LTA-TLR2 mediated responses has not been evaluated. In this study, we detected Btk in the LTA signaling complex with TLR2 and PI 3-kinase (PI3K). The constitutive interaction of these proteins was mediated via PI3K Src homology (SH3) -domain. Both Btk and PI3K were activated by LTA stimulation and the LTA induced cytokine expression was differentially modulated by these kinases. LTA induced the activation of nuclear factor kappaB (NFkappaB), however, only Btk inhibition affected the LTA induced Ser536 phosphorylation and DNA-binding of NFkappaB. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that Btk and PI3K occupy important roles in TLR2-induced activation of macrophages, resulting in selective regulation of cytokines. 相似文献

Extracellular Hsp70 (eHsp70) can act as damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) via Toll-like receptors TLR2 and TLR4, and stimulate immune and inflammatory responses leading to sterile inflammation and propagation of already existing inflammation. It was found elevated in the blood of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), who might suffer occasional bacterial colonizations and infections. We used a monocytic THP-1 cell line as a cellular model of systemic compartment of COPD to assess inflammatory effects of eHsp70 when present alone or together with bacterial products lypopolysaccharide (LPS) and lypoteichoic acid (LTA). THP-1 cells were differentiated into macrophage-like cells and treated with various concentrations of recombinant human Hsp70 protein (rhHsp70), LPS (TLR4 agonist), LTA (TLR2 agonist), and their combinations for 4, 12, 24, and 48 h. Concentrations of IL-1α, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α were determined by ELISA. Cell viability was assessed by MTS assay, and mode of cell death by luminometric measurements of caspases-3/7, -8, and -9 activities. rhHsp70 showed cell protecting effect by suppressing caspases-3/7 activation, while LPS provoked cytotoxicity through caspases-8 and -3/7 pathway. Regarding inflammatory processes, rhHsp70 alone induced secretion of IL-1α and IL-8, but had modulatory effects on release of all four cytokines when applied together with LPS or LTA. Combined effect with LPS was mainly synergistic, and with LTA mainly antagonistic, although it was cytokine- and time-dependent. Our results confirmed pro-inflammatory function of extracellular Hsp70, and suggest its possible implication in COPD exacerbations caused by bacterial infection through desensitization or inappropriate activation of TLR2 and TLR4 receptors. 相似文献

IL-12 family cytokines are important in host immunity. Whereas some members (IL-12, IL-23) play crucial roles in pathogenesis of organ-specific autoimmune diseases by inducing the differentiation of Th1 and Th17 lymphocytes, others (IL-27 and IL-35) suppress inflammatory responses and limit tissue injury induced by these T cell subsets. In this study, we have genetically engineered a novel IL27p28/IL12p40 heterodimeric cytokine (p28/p40) that antagonizes signaling downstream of the gp130 receptor. We investigated whether p28/p40 can be used to ameliorate uveitis, a CNS inflammatory disease. Experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) is the mouse model of human uveitis and is mediated by Th1 and Th17 cells. We show here that p28/p40 suppressed EAU by inhibiting the differentiation and inflammatory responses of Th1 and Th17 cells while promoting expansion of IL-10+- and Foxp3+-expressing regulatory T cells. Lymph node cells from mice treated with p28/p40 blocked adoptive transfer of EAU to naïve syngeneic mice by immunopathogenic T cells and suppressive effects of p28/p40 derived in part from antagonizing STAT1 and STAT3 pathways induced by IL-27 and IL-6. Interestingly, IL27p28 also suppressed EAU, but to a lesser extent than p28/p40. The inhibition of uveitogenic lymphocyte proliferation and suppression of EAU by p28/p40 and IL27p28 establish efficacy of single chain and heterodimeric IL-12 family cytokines in treatment of a CNS autoimmune disease. Creation of the biologically active p28/p40 heterodimeric cytokine represents an important proof-of-concept experiment, suggesting that cytokines comprising unique IL-12 α- and β-subunit pairing may exist in nature and may constitute a new class of therapeutic cytokines. 相似文献

Spaceflight alters many immune responses and among the regulatory components of an organisms response system that have been to be affected by spaceflight is the cytokine network. Spaceflight, as well as ground-based model systems of spaceflight, have been shown to affect the production and activation of various cytokines including interleukins (IL) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Levels of urinary IL-2 are elevated on the first day of spaceflight and again after returning from space. Most results from ground-based studies in rodents indicate either no alterations in cytokines or decreased levels. Results from this experiment indicate that HP 228, a potent cytokine restraining agent (CRA (TM)) was effective in attentuating many of the disuse deconditioning changes induced by the ground-based hindlimb suspension model that simulates weightlessness in rats. HP 228 is a novel heptapeptide with unnatural amino acids and can effectively restrain lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced increased levels of several key cytokines, including plasma TNF alpha, IL-1 beta and IL-6. HP 228 has also been shown to be effective in several rodent models of pain, inflammation and LPS-induced lethality, as well as in reducing inducible nitric oxide synthase. 相似文献

Helminths are immune modulators that down-regulate colitis in inflammatory bowel disease. In animal models, intestinal bacteria drive colitis and in humans certain alleles of the LPS receptor protein TLR4 increase inflammatory bowel disease susceptibility. To understand helminthic immune modulation in the gut, we studied the influence of intestinal Heligmosomoides polygyrus colonization on LPS-induced lamina propria mononuclear cell (LPMC) cytokine responses in mice. LPS did not stimulate TGFbeta production from LPMC of uninfected mice. LPS strongly induced LPMC from worm-infected animals to secrete TGFbeta, but not TNF-alpha or IL-12. The TGFbeta derived from mucosal T cells. Helminth infection up-regulated TLR4 expression only in lamina propria T cells. LPMC from worm-infected TLR4 mutant animals did not respond to LPS, suggesting that LPS required TLR4 to stimulate TGFbeta secretion. Thus, during helminth infection, LPS challenge induces mucosal T cells to make TGFbeta through a TLR4-dependent process without promoting synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines. 相似文献

Enteroviruses are associated with chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases in humans. In these conditions, the cytokine network is supposed to have an important role in inflammation and modulation of the (auto)immune response. In the present study, we demonstrate that coxsackie virus B4 and poliovirus type 1 induce production of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha in freshly isolated human leucocytes. Furthermore, enteroviruses stimulate the production of cytokines belonging to Th(1)pathways (IFN-gamma, IL-2), and IL-10, which play a role in regulation of the cellular and humoral immune response. 相似文献

A possible role of autogenous IFN-beta for cytokine productions in human fibroblasts 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

It has been already known that human diploid fibroblasts are able to produce not only high levels of IFN-beta but also various kinds of cytokines by poly rI: poly rC, and some inflammatory cytokines are induced by IFN-beta gene activation. We also obtained similar results. However, in our system, cytokine productions were extremely enhanced by treating the cells with a low dose of type 1 IFN and the priming effects on cytokine productions were blocked by cycloheximide similar to those on IFN-beta productions. Most of cytokines were produced later than IFN-beta and synthesis patterns of their mRNA showed the same phenomena. We made clear that cytokine productions by poly rI: poly rC are mediated by secreted IFN-beta at a protein level using a monoclonal antibody against human IFN-beta. Further, it was shown that intra-cellular IFN-beta which is not secreted might also participate in cytokine productions. Meanwhile, IL-1beta induced various kinds of cytokines in human fibroblasts and production time courses of these cytokines were similar to those of poly rI: poly rC induced cytokines. Although secreted IFN-beta was not detected in IL-1beta stimulated culture, expression of IFN-beta mRNA was augmented. These results showed that priming effects of type 1 IFN on cytokine productions by poly rI: poly rC might not be the direct action, but successive IFN-beta production might be essential in the production processes of other cytokines. Further, it was suggested that inducible IFN-beta might also take part in IL-1beta-induced cytokine productions. 相似文献

Suppressing IL-32 in monocytes impairs the induction of the proinflammatory cytokines TNFα and IL-1β

Targeting major proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β and TNFα is of great interest in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, colitis, and psoriasis. The cytokine Interleukin (IL)-32 induces proinflammatory cytokines such as TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6, and chemokines. We previously used an IL-32 ligand-affinity column to purify proteinase 3, which is abundantly expressed in neutrophil and monocytic leukocytes but not in other cell types, and found that IL-32 is mainly produced by monocytic leukocytes. This evidence suggested that silencing endogenous IL-32 by short hairpin RNA (shRNA) in monocytic cells might reveal the precise function of endogenous IL-32. Indeed, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- or phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-induced proinflammatory cytokine production was significantly inhibited in shRNA/IL-32 stable clones as compared to control clones. Furthermore, macrophages in PMA-differentiated shRNA/IL-32 stable clones displayed remarkably impaired LPS- and IL-1β-induced proinflammatory cytokine production. These data suggest that IL-32 is not only involved in host defense against pathogens, but also might play a role in chronic inflammatory diseases. IL-32 production leads to major proinflammatory cytokine production during the initial immune response. 相似文献

Influence of immunomodulator of bacterial origin - purified staphylococcal toxoid (PST) - on the synthesisof proinlammatory (IL-1beta, IL-6, TNFalpha, IFN-gamma) and anti-inflammatory (IL- 10) cytokines, as well as cytokines directing the immune response to Th1 (IL-12) or Th2 (IL-4) type was studied in mice. Serum cytokines levels as well as levels of cytokines produced by splenocytes spontaneously or after stimulation by phytohemagglutinin were measured 4 and 24 hours after inoculation of PST. It was shown that PST in wide spectrum of doses (15; 1.5; 0.15 BU per mouse) was able to enhance or suppress synthesis of cytokines. Effect was nonlinear and its direction was depended from cytokine, time interval passed before obtaining the sample and dose of PST. For example, 15 BU of PST enhanced whereas 0.15 BU of PST suppressed the IL-6 production 4 hours after inoculation. Decrease of IL-6 level in serum 24 hours after inoculation of PST was detected. Synthesis of several serum interleukins (IL-2, IL-10) did not changed 4 and 24 hours after inoculation irrespective from dose of PST. It was demonstrated that modulation of humoral immune response in vivo induced by PST did not associated with modulation of cytokine profile. For example, increase of number of cells secreting antibodies to sheep erythrocytes was registered both during increased synthesis of cytokines (4 hours, IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-12) and during period of its depression (IL-6, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma), as well as during stable production of cytokines (IL-1beta, IL-6, IFN-gamma). 相似文献

The study was conducted to investigate the effects of different oils on growth performance and immune responses of chickens after challenge with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). A total of 288 chickens were assigned in a 2 × 2 factorial design. Factors were dietary fat type (4.5% maize oil or 4.5% fish oil) and immunological challenge (LPS or saline). At 20 days and 27 days of age, chickens were injected intraperitoneally with either 1 mg/kg body weight of LPS or sterile saline. LPS decreased feed intake from 21 days to 28 days of age and body-weight gain from 21 days to 42 days of age. Fish oil improved feed-conversion efficiency of chickens after LPS challenge for the first time. Fish oil supplementation decreased lymphocyte proliferation (21 days: P < 0.0001; 28 days: P < 0.0001) and the ratio of CD3+CD4+/CD3+CD8+ (21 days: P = 0.0479; 28 days: P = 0.0009) after LPS challenge. LPS challenge increased the levels of interleukin-1 (IL-1) (21 days: P < 0.0001; 28 days: P = 0.0030), IL-6 (21 days: P < 0.0001; 28 days: P = 0.0001) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) (21 days: P = 0.0008; 28 days: P = 0.0018). And fish oil alleviated the elevations in the production of IL-6 (21 days: P = 0.0359; 28 days: P = 0.0302) and TNF-α (21 days: P = 0.0055; 28 days: P = 0.0391) induced by the LPS challenge. Fish oil alleviated the mRNA abundance elevation of nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) (21 days: P = 0.0079; 28 days: P = 0.0017) after LPS challenge. These results showed that fish oil acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, which may be associated with down-regulation of the activated immune system. The results of pro-inflammatory cytokines and mRNA abundance results suggested that fish oil might alleviate the elevation of IL-6 and TNF-α induced by LPS through down-regulating NFκB expression. 相似文献

The outcome of pathological process during sepsis caused by Gram-negative bacteria depends on the reaction of human blood cells to bacterial structural components, lipopolysaccharides (LPS). A general inflammatory response develops due to the increased production of proinflammatory cytokines. One of the current methods of prevention of inflammatory response is the inhibition of LPS binding to cellular receptors. We have studied the efficacy of antagonistic properties of LPS from Rhodobacter capsulatus on the production of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β cytokines induced by toxic LPS from Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli in human whole blood. LPS from R. capsulatus in concentrations of 0.1 and 1 μg/mL did not induce synthesis of TNF-α, IL-6, or IL-1β. Measurements of cytokine levels showed that LPS from R. capsulatus exerted a clear protective effect against toxic LPS. In particular, LPS from R. capsulatus fullly inhibited the production of TNF-α and IL-1β and significantly decreased the IL-6 production induced by LPS from S. typhimurium. Additionally, LPS from R. capsulatus antagonized the effects of LPS from E. coli, fully inhibiting the TNF-α production and decreasing the IL-6 and IL-1β levels by 60% and 70%, respectively. Thus, LPS from R. capsulatus acts as a potent antagonist of cell activation induced by toxic LPS. 相似文献
