The effects of cholera toxin or pertussis toxin and nonhydrolyzable GTP analogs on Salmonella enteritidis endotoxin stimulation of iTxB2 and i6-keto-PGF1 alpha synthesis in control and endotoxin tolerant rat peritoneal macrophages were determined. Pretreatment with pertussis toxin alone had no effect on basal macrophage iTxB2 or i6-keto-PGF1 alpha production, but pertussis toxin (0.1, 1.0 and 10 ng/ml) significantly inhibited endotoxin-stimulated iTxB2 and i6-keto-PGF1 alpha synthesis. Pretreatment with cholera toxin, which did not affect basal iTxB2 or i6-keto-PGF1 alpha synthesis, significantly enhanced endotoxin-induced synthesis of iTxB2 and i6-keto-PGF1 alpha. The effects of pertussis and cholera toxin with or without endotoxin were significantly (P less than 0.05) less in macrophages from endotoxin tolerant rats compared to control macrophages. GTP[gamma-S] (100 microM) significantly increased iTxB2 synthesis and significantly augmented endotoxin-stimulated iTxB2 synthesis in control macrophages (P less than 0.05). However, in macrophages from endotoxin tolerant rats the effect of GTP[gamma-S] on iTxB2 synthesis was significantly less (P less than 0.05) compared to control macrophages. Collectively, these data suggest that: (1) guanine nucleotide binding regulatory proteins mediate endotoxin-stimulated arachidonic acid metabolism in rat peritoneal macrophages; and (2) endotoxin tolerance induces alterations in guanine nucleotide binding protein activity.
