hematopoietic system
• phagocytic capacity of bone marrow-derived macrophages is exacerbated compared to wild-type macrophages, with macrophages showing increased clearance of E. coli
• treatment with cytochalasin B blocks the increased activity of E. coli engulfment by bone marrow-derived macrophages
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• mice challenged with LPS show an increase in inflammatory cytokines in the serum
|
immune system
• phagocytic capacity of bone marrow-derived macrophages is exacerbated compared to wild-type macrophages, with macrophages showing increased clearance of E. coli
• treatment with cytochalasin B blocks the increased activity of E. coli engulfment by bone marrow-derived macrophages
|
• mice challenged with LPS show an increase in inflammatory cytokines in the serum
|
• bone marrow-derived macrophages challenged with PAMP:LPS, CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG ODN) or zymosan depleted of TLR-stimulating properties show enhanced TNF-alpha production
• heterozygous mice orally treated with chronic LPS stimulation exhibit serum TNF-alpha levels similar to those of untreated homozygotes
|
• mice infected with high doses of E. coli are more sensitive to septic shock compared to wild-type mice
