Mice injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) develop lethal septic shock, accompanied by elevated serum NOx, interferon gamma (IFN-gamma), tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and TNF-receptor levels. Elevated NO levels are thought to play a central role in tissue damage observed during septic shock. In vitro data indicate that IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha play an important role in LPS-induced NO release. Further, interleukin 10 (IL-10) has been shown to inhibit the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha. Therefore, in the present study, we investigated the role of IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, and IL-10 in LPS-induced NO release. To this end, mice were pretreated with anti-IFN-gamma, anti-TNF-alpha, anti-IL-10 mAbs or combinations of these 2 h before LPS-challenge. The results indicate that IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha as well as IL-10 are involved in the regulation of LPS-induced NO release. Blocking either IFN-gamma or TNF-alpha has no effect on LPS-induced NO release, however, blocking both IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha nearly completely prevents NO release after LPS challenge, suggesting that the presence of either TNF-alpha or IFN-gamma is essential for induction of NO release after LPS challenge. Further, the results obtained with anti-IL-10 treatment suggest the presence of an IL-10 inducible factor which together with IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha regulates LPS-induced NO release.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007371 Interferon-gamma The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.

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
D008934 Mitogens Substances that stimulate mitosis and lymphocyte transformation. They include not only substances associated with LECTINS, but also substances from streptococci (associated with streptolysin S) and from strains of alpha-toxin-producing staphylococci. (Stedman, 25th ed) Mitogen,Phytomitogen,Phytomitogens
D009569 Nitric Oxide A free radical gas produced endogenously by a variety of mammalian cells, synthesized from ARGININE by NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE. Nitric oxide is one of the ENDOTHELIUM-DEPENDENT RELAXING FACTORS released by the vascular endothelium and mediates VASODILATION. It also inhibits platelet aggregation, induces disaggregation of aggregated platelets, and inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium. Nitric oxide activates cytosolic GUANYLATE CYCLASE and thus elevates intracellular levels of CYCLIC GMP.

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.

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.

D016753 Interleukin-10 A cytokine produced by a variety of cell types, including T-LYMPHOCYTES; MONOCYTES; DENDRITIC CELLS; and EPITHELIAL CELLS that exerts a variety of effects on immunoregulation and INFLAMMATION. Interleukin-10 combines with itself to form a homodimeric molecule that is the biologically active form of the protein. IL-10,CSIF-10,Cytokine Synthesis Inhibitory Factor,IL10,Interleukin 10
