Abstract

The deleterious effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) during endotoxic shock are associated with the secretion of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and the production of nitric oxide (NO), both predominantly released by tissue macrophages. We analyzed the mechanism by which LPS induces apoptosis in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM). LPS-induced apoptosis reached a plateau at about 6 hours of stimulation, whereas the production of NO by the inducible NO-synthase (iNOS) required between 12 and 24 hours. Furthermore, LPS-induced early apoptosis was only moderately reduced in the presence of an inhibitor of iNOS or when using macrophages from iNOS -/-mice. In contrast, early apoptosis was paralleled by the rapid secretion of TNF and was almost absent in macrophages from mice deficient for one (p55) or both (p55 and p75) TNF-receptors. During the late phase of apoptosis (12-24 hours) NO significantly contributed to the death of macrophages even in the absence of TNF-receptor signaling. NO-mediated cell death, but not apoptosis induced by TNF, correlated with the induction of p53 and Bax genes. Thus, LPS-induced apoptosis results from 2 independent mechanisms: first and predominantly, through the autocrine secretion of TNF-alpha (early apoptotic events), and second, through the production of NO (late phase of apoptosis).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
