Pentaacyl diphosphoryl lipid A derived from the nontoxic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Rhodobacter sphaeroides ATCC 17023 (RsDPLA) did not induce tumour necrosis factor-alpha nor interleukin-6 release in the murine macrophage-like cell line J774.1. However, it effectively inhibited the induction of these two cytokines by LPS of Salmonella minnesota Re mutant R595 (ReLPS) in a concentration-dependent manner. Maximal inhibition and half-maximal inhibition occurred when the ReLPS to RsDPLA mass ratio was 1:30 and 1:1, respectively. A binding study was performed in the presence of serum to determine whether RsDPLA is competing with ReLPS for LPS binding sites on J774.1 cells. This assay allows the determination of LPS binding to J774.1 cells via a mechanism involving CD14, a receptor for complexes of LPS with LPS binding protein (LBP), and its possible inhibition. The results show that RsDPLA strongly inhibits the binding of 125I-labelled ReLPS to J774.1 cells. Maximal and one-half maximal inhibition of binding occurred when the ReLPS to RsDPLA mass ratios were 1:2.5 and 1:0.5, respectively. It was found that the inhibition of binding by RsDPLA was much stronger than that by unlabelled ReLPS. These results suggest that RsDPLA is competing with ReLPS for CD14-dependent recognition of LPS on J774.1 cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008050 Lipid A Lipid A is the biologically active component of lipopolysaccharides. It shows strong endotoxic activity and exhibits immunogenic properties.
D008070 Lipopolysaccharides Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Lipopolysaccharide,Lipoglycans
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001667 Binding, Competitive The interaction of two or more substrates or ligands with the same binding site. The displacement of one by the other is used in quantitative and selective affinity measurements. Competitive Binding

D014409 Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha Serum glycoprotein produced by activated MACROPHAGES and other mammalian MONONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES. It has necrotizing activity against tumor cell lines and increases ability to reject tumor transplants. Also known as TNF-alpha, it is only 30% homologous to TNF-beta (LYMPHOTOXIN), but they share TNF RECEPTORS.

D015850 Interleukin-6 A cytokine that stimulates the growth and differentiation of B-LYMPHOCYTES and is also a growth factor for HYBRIDOMAS and plasmacytomas.
