Differences in innate defense mechanisms in endotoxemia and polymicrobial septic peritonitis.
Loss, reduction, or enhancement of the ability to respond to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has no influence on survival of mice in a model of postoperative polymicrobial septic peritonitis induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). This was demonstrated by using either mice with a defective Tlr4 gene, which encodes the critical receptor molecule for LPS responses, or mice deficient for ...
متن کاملCutting edge: myeloid differentiation factor 88 deficiency improves resistance against sepsis caused by polymicrobial infection.
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are important for the activation of innate immune cells upon encounter of microbial pathogens. The present study investigated the potential roles of TLR2, TLR4, and the signaling protein myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) in polymicrobial septic peritonitis. Whereas both TLR2 and TLR4 were dispensable for host defense against septic peritonitis, MyD88-deficient...

متن کاملAttenuated pathogenesis of polymicrobial peritonitis in mice after TLR2 agonist pre-treatment involves ST2 up-regulation.
The innate immune system uses Toll-like receptors (TLRs) to activate and instruct immune responses against microbial pathogens. Administration of TLR agonists to mice induces a state of hyporesponsiveness, or tolerance, characterized by reduced cytokine production upon subsequent second challenge. The present study examined the effects of pre-treatment of mice with TLR2-dependent stimuli on the...
متن کاملRole of the classical pathway of complement activation in experimentally induced polymicrobial peritonitis.
The complement system and the natural antibody repertoire provide a critical first-line defense against infection. The binding of natural antibodies to microbial surfaces opsonizes invading microorganisms and activates complement via the classical pathway. Both defense systems cooperate within the innate immune response. We studied the role of the complement system in the host defense against e...
