Airway Administration ofEscherichia coliEndotoxin to Mice Induces Glucocorticosteroid-Resistant Bronchoconstriction and Vasopermeation

Abstract: The effects of the administration of Escherichia coli endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) into the airways of C57Bl/6 mice were studied. Neutrophil sequestration in the lungs and their enrichment, together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were associated with bronchoconstriction and bronchopulmonary hyperreactivity (BHR) to methacholine and alveolocapillary dysfunction. Granulocyte depletion by the myelotoxic drug vinblastine failed to modify TNF-alpha production a… Show more

“…The majority of these pathologic features of human airway inflammation have also been observed in experimental lung injury models. In mice, aerogenic exposure to endotoxin or LPS, a major component of the outmost membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, induces pulmonary inflammation with recruitment and activation of macrophages and neutrophils in the airways, local TNF production, alveolar-capillary leak, and also a direct bronchoconstriction (8). TLR, and especially TLR4, plays a critical role in the response to LPS (9).…”
