We obtained biologically active purified leukotoxin (Lkt) from Pasteurella haemolytica serotypel, strain 12296 using preparative sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Three species of Lkt of molecular masses 95, 100, and 104 kDa were obtained. Purity of all three species of Lkt was confirmed by analytical SDS-PAGE and Western blot (immunoblot) analysis. Results from the chromogenic Limulus amebocyte lysate assay and silver staining of SDS-PAGE patterns indicated that the preparations were free of contaminating lipopolysaccharide. We then studied the kinetics of TNF alpha and IL-1 beta mRNA expression in bovine alveolar macrophages stimulated with the purified 104 kDa Lkt. Subcytolytic concentrations of Lkt induced TNF alpha and IL-1 beta gene expression and peak induction was observed at a concentration of 1 leukotoxin unit/ml. Both TNF alpha and IL-1 beta mRNA expression were detectable at 1 h after stimulation with 1 leukotoxin unit/ml. The expression peaked at 2 h, steadily declining up to 6 h, and was undetectable by 10 h. Secreted TNF alpha measured by bioassay peaked at 4-6 h and accumulated at a lesser concentration after 6 h. By contrast, secreted IL-1 peaked at 6 h and decreased significantly by 10 h. The ability of purified Lkt to induce TNF alpha and IL-1 beta gene expression and secretion of bioactive proteins was suppressed by Ca2+ chelating agents, 5 mM EDTA and 5 mM EGTA, but not polymyxin B. Heat-inactivation of the purified Lkt that had lost its cytocidal property completely abrogated induction of TNF alpha and IL-1 beta gene expression and secretion in bovine AMs.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007166 Immunosuppressive Agents Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D016207 Cytokines Non-antibody proteins secreted by inflammatory leukocytes and some non-leukocytic cells, that act as intercellular mediators. They differ from classical hormones in that they are produced by a number of tissue or cell types rather than by specialized glands. They generally act locally in a paracrine or autocrine rather than endocrine manner. Cytokine
