Abstract

Acute septic shock is one of inflammatory diseases mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-¥á. In this study, we examined the pathological difference and mechanism of lipopolysaccharides isolated from E. coli (E-LPS) or S. abortus (S-LPS) on inducing acute septic shock in ICR mouse. All mice were died by intraperitoneal treatment of S-LPS with 0.75 mg/kg, whereas E-LPS treated with even 3 mg/kg only showed 30% of mice lethal, indicating that S-LPS may be more feasible in triggering a strong septic shock condition. The secretion pattern of TNF-¥á, a critical pro-inflammatory cytokine in septic shock condition, was also distinct between E-LPS-and S-LPS-treated groups. Thus, S-LPS strikingly increased serum level of TNF-¥á (6 ng/ml) at 1 h, while E-LPS just displayed at 2 ng/ml level. However, the interaction of S-LPS with LPS receptor, toll like receptor (TLR)-4 was not stronger than that of E-LPS, according to experiments with macrophage cell line RAW264.7 cells. Thus, E-LPS rather than S-LPS strongly enhanced the production of TNF-¥á. Interestingly, S-LPS more strongly up-regulated splenocyte proliferation, compared to E-LPS group, whereas there was no difference between S- or E-LPS treated groups in proliferation of Balb/c- or c57BL/6-originated splenic lymphocytes. Therefore, our data suggest that S-LPS is a more active endotoxin and that the strong septic shock-inducing effect of S-LPS seems due to the enhanccment of early TNF-¥á production and S-LPS sensitive lymphocyte proliferation.
