Suppression of endotoxin-induced inflammation by taxol.
The pathogenesis of acute lung injury includes transendothelial diapedesis of leukocytes into lung tissues and disruption of endothelial/epithelial barriers leading to protein-rich oedema. In vitro studies show that the microtubule network plays a role in the regulation of endothelial permeability as well as in neutrophil locomotion. It was hypothesised that the microtubule-stabilising agent, t...
متن کاملRecurrent intraocular inflammation in endotoxin-induced uveitis.
PURPOSE Endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU) in rats and mice peaks 24 hours after endotoxin injection and is commonly assumed to be a monophasic disease. This study examined intraocular inflammation at later time points to determine whether endotoxin injection can induce recurrent intraocular inflammation in strains of mice with high or moderate levels of susceptibility to EIU. METHODS EIU was el...
متن کاملDose-dependent activation of lymphocytes in endotoxin-induced airway inflammation.
Recruitment of neutrophils to lung tissue and airspaces is a hallmark of inflammatory events following inhalation of endotoxins. We studied the role of different lymphocyte subsets in this inflammation, which is assumed to primarily involve the innate immune system. Inhalation of aerosolized Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in mice induced a dose-dependent increase in neutrophils in br...
متن کاملThe effect of endotoxin and endotoxin tolerance on inflammation induced by mycobacterial adjuvant.
Peptidoglycan, the substance in mycobacteria thought to be responsible for inducing adjuvant arthritis, and endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide or LPS) share many inflammatory properties. Since repeated administration of LPS produces tolerance, i.e., resistance to the toxic and inflammatory effects of LPS, we tested whether LPS and/or LPS tolerance might influence inflammation due to mycobacterial ad...
متن کاملEicosapentaenoic acid suppresses ocular inflammation in endotoxin-induced uveitis
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on acute ocular inflammation in an animal model of endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU). METHODS C57Bl/6 mice (6-week-old males) were orally treated with EPA at a dose of 50 mg/kg/day for 5 days. EIU was then induced in the animals by intraperitoneal injection of 160 microg lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Twenty-four hours after LPS inject...
