In the present study, we wanted to determine whether tissue and circulating levels of HMGB1 are increased further in the absence of HO-1 during endotoxemia, and whether this increase may contribute to the pathobiology of endotoxemia.
Female Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to low-grade endotoxemia (i.p. injection LPS 0.5 mg kg<sup>-1</sup> body weight) and severe endotoxemia (i.p. injection LPS 8 mg kg<sup>-1</sup> body weight) for 6 h. Blood NO, as well as cardiac TNF-α and IL-1β mRNA, were found increased as the severity of the endotoxemia increases.
In contrast to its TNF suppressive effect in wild type mice, choline (50 mg/kg, i.p.) failed to inhibit systemic TNF levels in alpha7nAChR knockout mice during endotoxemia.
Green Tea Extract Treatment in Obese Mice with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Restores the Hepatic Metabolome in Association with Limiting Endotoxemia-TLR4-NFκB-Mediated Inflammation.
Our lead compound, C34, is a 2-acetamidopyranoside (MW 389) with the formula C17H27NO9, which inhibited TLR4 in enterocytes and macrophages in vitro, and reduced systemic inflammation in mouse models of endotoxemia and necrotizing enterocolitis.
Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) is also required for LPS-induced activation of p38, which is a crucial determinant for the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines via Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in endotoxemia.
We investigated whether FXa induces TF expression in human peripheral monocytes and whether treatment with FXa inhibitor reduces TF expression in an experimental model of rat endotoxemia.
Resultant leaching of gut caused portal endotoxemia that led to upregulation of toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) activation in the small intestine and the brain.
Endotoxin, a constituent of Gram-negative bacteria, stimulates macrophages to release large quantities of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin-1 (IL-1), which can precipitate tissue injury and lethal shock (endotoxemia).
In accordance with that observation, we found that mice with genetic ablation of Tnf in basophils exhibited reduced systemic concentrations of TNF during endotoxemia.
Effects of ketamine/xylazine on expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and cyclo-oxygenase-2 in rat gastric mucosa during endotoxemia.
MV with endotoxemia aggravated VIDD, as demonstrated by the increases in the expression levels of TLR4, caspase-3, atrogin-1, muscle ring finger-1, and microtubule-associated protein light chain 3-II.
Consequently, knockdown or deletion of SERPINB1 prompted spontaneous activation of caspase-1/-4/-5/-11, release of the cytokine IL-1β and pyroptosis, inducing elevated inflammation after non-hygienic co-housing with pet-store mice and enhanced sensitivity to lipopolysaccharide- or Acinetobacter baumannii-induced endotoxemia.
One potential mechanism is via gut microbiota derived bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) entering into the circulation and activation of Toll-like receptor-4.This is called metabolic endotoxemia.
Further, Adrb2<sup>-</sup><sup>/</sup><sup>-</sup> animals rapidly succumbed to endotoxemia in response to a sub-lethal LPS challenge and exhibited elevated serum levels of TNF-α and reduced IL-10.
300 min after the proinflammatory insult, plasma concentrations of IL-1β and IL-6 in the plasma remain considerably lower after CLI compared to endotoxemia.
Female Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to low-grade endotoxemia (i.p. injection LPS 0.5 mg kg<sup>-1</sup> body weight) and severe endotoxemia (i.p. injection LPS 8 mg kg<sup>-1</sup> body weight) for 6 h. Blood NO, as well as cardiac TNF-α and IL-1β mRNA, were found increased as the severity of the endotoxemia increases.
It alleviated tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in activated macrophages by downregulating the NF-κB activity, and it reduced the mortality rate in LPS induced endotoxemia mice.
Alkaline phosphatase (AP) is currently being investigated as an anti-inflammatory agent for detoxifying LPS through dephosphorylating lipid A, thus providing a potential treatment for managing both acute (sepsis) and chronic (metabolic endotoxemia) pathologies wherein aberrant TLR4/MD2 activation has been implicated.
