We investigated the role of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in the down-regulation of hepatic P-glycoprotein and cytochrome P450 (CYP) by endotoxin, using TNF-alpha gene-deficient (TNF-alpha(-/-)) mice. In the case of P-glycoprotein, endotoxin (10 mg/kg significantly decreased the expression of hepatic P-glycoprotein in wild-type mice 6 h. but not 24 h. after intraperitoneal injection. with no differences in the constitutional expression of P-glycoprotein between wild-type mice and TNF-alpha(-/-) mice. However. endotoxin had no effect on the expression of P-glycoprotein in TNF-alpha(-/-) mice either 6 or 24 h after injection. When doxorubicin was administered intravenously, to TNF-alpha(-/-) mice treated 6 h earlier with and without endotoxin, no significant differences in the plasma concentrations of doxorubicin 3 h after injection were observed between endotoxin-treated and untreated TNF-alpha(-/-) mice. These results suggest that TNT-alpha plays a pivotal role in the down-regulation of P-glycoprotein by endotoxin. In the case of CYP, the constitutive expression of hepatic CYP3A2 and CYP2C11 had a tendency to decline in TNF-alpha(-/-) mice compared with that in xvild-type mice. Endotoxin significantly decreased the expression of hepatic CYP3A2 and CYP2C11 in wild-type mice 24 h after injection, and that decreased expression was significantly greater in TNF-alpha(-/-) mice than wild-type mice. When antipyrine Was administered intravenously to wild-type mice and TNF-alpha-/- mice treated 24 h earlier with endotoxin, the plasma concentrations of antipyrine in TNF-alpha(-/-) mice 3 h after injection were significantly higher than those in wild-type mice. These findings suggest that TNF-alpha plays a key role in endotoxin-induced down-regulation of hepatic P-glycoprotein, as well as plays a protective role in the regulation of hepatic CYP3A2 and CYP2C11 against endotoxin-induced acute inflammatory response. in TNF-alpha(-/-) mice, other cytokines appear to function as compensation for the lack of endogenous TNF-alpha.
