Tumor necrosis factor and interleukin-1 activities in free lung cells after single and repeated inhalation of bacterial endotoxin

Abstract: Bacterial endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides), important components of many organic dusts, are known to induce macrophages to produce the inflammatory mediators interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a). To investigate the role of these mediators in the early inflammatory responses in the lung, guinea pigs were exposed to an aerosol of bacterial endotoxin. A bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was then performed, and TNF-a and IL-1 in lysed BAL cells and in the supernatants from BAL cell cultures were… Show more

“…Our data on the putative effect of oxidative stress on sAMs were tested by LPS-injection experiments, which were shown to induce remarkable oxidative stress in the animals (36,37). As expected, the sAMs were up-regulated after injection, but what is more interesting is that we found aged animals had a greater response to LPS administration.…”

“…13 LPS inhalation has also been shown to increase the traffic of airway antigenbearing dendritic cells (DC) to regional lymph nodes (RLN), 14 where they initiate immune responses via presentation of their sequestered stores of inhaled antigens to T cells. 15,16 The principal stimulus for DC migration from the intraepithelial tissue sites to RLN appears to be TNFa , 17 the major source of w hich in the LPS-stimulated lung is alveolar macrophages (AM), 18,19 and we suggest the latter as a likely mechanism for LPS enhancement of the anti-OVA antibody response in these experiments.…”

“…TNF-α release was not influenced by pre-exposure to LPS. In line, TNF-α release by alveolar macrophages was not significantly increased upon ex vivo LPS stimulation following intravenous LPS challenge 16 and no increase in TNF-α was found in BALF of guinea pigs after recurrent intranasal administration of LPS 37 . The differential results on TNF-α production and that of IL-1β and IL-6 by LPS-AM might be influenced by augmented gene transcription and/or prolonged mRNA stability [38][39][40][41] .…”
