Abstract

We describe the involvement of endotoxin tolerance in the refractoriness of its anti-metastatic effect against murine syngeneic tumors. Three i.v. administrations of LPS at intervals of 4 days after tumor inoculation inhibited liver metastasis of L5178Y-ML25 cells, whereas 3 consecutive i.v. administrations of LPS showed only a slight suppressive effect. Multiple i.v. administrations of LPS, synthetic lipid A, its synthetic derivative DT-5461, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) BioParticles or Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) on days 1, 5 and 9 after tumor inoculation inhibited liver metastasis of T-lymphoma cells in normal mice. The anti-metastatic effects of LPS, synthetic lipid A or DT-5461 but not S. aureus BioParticles or SEB were diminished in mice injected with LPS at daily intervals for 7 days before tumor inoculation. Mice receiving 3 consecutive i.v. administrations of LPS at daily intervals exhibited suppression of LPS-induced production of endogenous tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), tumoricidal activity of macrophages, and natural-killer (NK) activity of splenocytes when compared with those of normal mice. Macrophages from mice receiving consecutive daily i.v. administrations of LPS for 3 days showed reduct...Continue Reading
