mTORC1-S6K Activation by Endotoxin Contributes to Cytokine Up-Regulation and Early Lethality in Animals
BACKGROUND mTORC1 (mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1) activation has been demonstrated in response to endotoxin challenge, but the mechanism and significance are unclear. We investigated the effect of mTORC1 suppression in an animal model of endotoxemia and in a cellular model of endotoxin signaling. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Mice were treated with the mTORC1 inhibitor rapamycin or...
متن کاملEffects of phenobarbital and endotoxin on the lethality and metabolism of 6-mercaptopurine in male BALB/c mice.
In male BALB/c mice, a combination of individually non-lethal doses of 6-mercaptopurine and endotoxin was significantly lethal. In contrast, mice treated with phenobarbital were resistant to this lethal effect. The high levels of thioinosinic acid in mice that were treated with endotoxin contrasted significantly with the levels in phenobarbital-treated mice. On the other hand, the concentration...
متن کاملToxic interactions of benzyl alcohol with bacterial endotoxin.
Acute toxic interactions of intravenously administered benzyl alcohol and Escherichia coli O55:B5 (Boivin preparation) endotoxin were examined in rodents. Lethality studies in male CD-1 mice demonstrated that these agents were more toxic when administered in combination than when either was administered alone. Prophylactic treatment with diazepam (5 mg/kg intraperitoneally) protected against le...
متن کاملEffects of Poly (ADP-ribose) Polymerase Inhibition on DNA Integrity and Gene Expression in Ovarian Follicular Cells in Mice with Endotoxemia
Background: A mouse model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation was used to investigate the effect of pharmacological inhibition of nuclear enzyme PARP-1 on oocyte maturation, apoptotic and necrotic death, as well as DNA integrity of follicular cells. Also, the relative expression of cumulus genes (HAS2, COX2, and GREM1) associated with oocyte developmental competence was assessed. M...
متن کاملCongenital deficiency of nitric oxide synthase 2 protects against endotoxin-induced myocardial dysfunction in mice.
BACKGROUND Sepsis can be complicated by severe myocardial dysfunction and is associated with increased nitric oxide (NO) production by inducible NO synthase (NOS2). To investigate the role of NOS2 in endotoxin-induced myocardial dysfunction in vivo, we studied wild-type and NOS2-deficient mice. METHODS AND RESULTS Serial echocardiographic parameters of myocardial function were measured before...
