Abstract

Endotoxin and its purified derivative LPS are important contaminants of both domestic and occupational environments that have been related to airway diseases. A body of data suggests that there is considerable interindividual variability in LPS sensitivity. The aim of the study was to relate the individual clinical responses to inhaled LPS with the inflammatory process and the atopic status. Fifteen healthy subjects were challenged each week by inhalation with saline solution or LPS (0.5, 5, or 50 microg). The systemic response was defined by the increase in body temperature, blood neutrophilia, acute-phase proteins (C-reactive protein and LPS-binding protein [LBP]), and E-selectin. The LPS-induced airway response was defined as the increase in airway responsiveness and related to the cell count and concentration of TNF-alpha, myeloperoxidase, and eosinophil cationic protein in induced sputum. The atopic status was defined as an increase in IgE or a positive skin prick test result. Subjects (n = 7) with a significant increase in body temperature had a larger increase in the systemic inflammatory response (blood neutrophilia; P <.01) and in blood concentrations of C-reactive protein (P <.02) and LBP (P <.01). Subjects with a sig...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus.
