Abstract

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a constituent of gram-negative bacteria cell wall, plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of septic shock by generating endogenous mediators such as cytokines, nitrous oxide, superoxide anions, and lipid mediators. In vitro, LPS induces the transcription of a set of genes involved in inflammatory reactions by activating several types of transcription factors, particularly nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB). An analysis of NF-kappaB activation using a cell-free system demonstated that two pathways converge to activate NF-kappaB; one is staurosporine-sensitive, the other is staurosporine-insensitive and tyrosine kinase-dependent. Furthermore, the latter pathway culminates in IkappaBalpha phosphorylation at serine/threonine residues in its carboxyl-terminal acidic region with dissociation of IkappaBalpha from NF-kappaB, thereby activating NF-kappaB. The requirement for the phosphorylation at this site was confirmed by the specific inhibition of NF-kappaB activation in a cell-free system by the synthetic peptide corresponding to this site. The in vivo administration of an anti-CD18 antibody prevented elevation of plasma tumor necrosis factor (TNF) levels and acute lethality induced by injection of a lo...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.
