Abstract
Environmental exposure to endotoxin is a known cause of exacerbation of asthma. Inhaled endotoxin protocols have been used to evaluate airway cell surface phenotypes associated with antigen presentation and innate immunity in healthy volunteers, but not in allergic volunteers. To establish the safety of challenge with low-dose endotoxin (10,000 endotoxin units) (lipopolysaccharide [LPS]) inhalation in allergic individuals, to measure airway cell surface phenotypes associated with antigen presentation and innate immunity in induced sputum (IS) after LPS challenge, and to conduct gene expression profiling in IS cells to determine which host genetic networks are modified by LPS inhalation. Induced sputum was obtained before and 6 hours after LPS inhalation in 10 allergic volunteers (8 with asthma and 2 with rhinitis). Flow cytometry was used to examine cell surface phenotypes on IS cells. Genomic expression was analyzed on a subset of IS samples (n = 10) using microarray and ingenuity pathway analysis. A total of 10,000 endotoxin units of LPS induced significant up-regulation of membrane CD14, CD11b, CD16, HLA-DR, CD86, and Fcepsilon receptor 1 on sputum phagocytes and increased expression of genes that influence antigen-presentin...Continue Reading
