Background: Dysregulation of monocyte/macrophage cytokine production after exposure to multiple inflammatory stimuli may contribute to multiple organ failure and sepsis. Endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide [LPS]) activation of murine macrophage results in the phosphorylation of kinases in the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade. Pretreatment of murine macrophages with LPS induces LPS-tolerance, with inhibition of LPS-stimulated activation of kinases (ERI(YZ and p38) and diminished release of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), We sought to determine whether similar alterations in LPS-dependent signal transduction are present in LPS-tolerant human peripheral blood monocytes,Methods: Human peripheral blood monocytes from healthy volunteer donors (n = 12) were incubated in RPMI 1640 culture medium +/-10 ng/mL of LPS for 18 hours, then stimulated with 0 to 1,000 ng/mL of LPS, Supernatant TNF and interleukin-l OL-l) levels were measured after 5 hours by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Activation of the p42/p44 kinases (ERK1/2) was measured 15 minutes after LPS with monoclonal antibodies to diphosphorylated (active) ERK1/2 using novel flow cytometric methods.Results: LPS-tolerant (10 ng/mL LPS pretreatment) human monocytes had significant inhibition of LPS-stimulated TNF secretion but augmented IL-I release (P < 0.05), Nontolerant human monocytes had a dramatic increase in the percentage of ERK1/2-positive cells in response to an initial stimulation with LPS, This did not occur in the LPS-tolerant cells. Phorbol-12-myristate-13 acetate restored ERK1/2 activation in LPS-tolerant humanConclusion: LPS-tolerance in human monocytes is associated with inhibition of LPS-stimulated TNF secretion, augmented release of IL-l, and defective activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade (ERK1/2), These results suggest a method of identifying LPS-tolerance and monocyte dysfunction in patients with sepsis.
