Systemic endotoxaemia is a well recognized feature of inflammatory bowel disease but its pathogenic role remains uncertain. This study examined plasma endotoxin and cytokine concentrations and the acute‐phase protein response in a hapten‐induced model of experimental colitis. On days 2, 8 and 14 after induction of colitis with trinitrobenzenesulphonic acid in ethanol (TNBS‐E), plasma endotoxin, immunoglobulin (Ig) G and IgM endotoxin‐core antibody (EndoCAb), tumour necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin (IL) 6 and α2‐macroglobulin (α2M) concentrations and colon macroscopic inflammation score were determined. At all time points there was significant colonic inflammation when compared with control values (P<0·0001). Animals treated with TNBS‐E had raised concentrations of endotoxin at all time points (P<0·04). In TNBS‐E‐treated animals EndoCAb concentrations were reduced on day 2 (P<0·0001) and later increased. There were increases in IL‐6 and α2M concentrations in TNBS‐E‐treated animals but no significant change in TNF concentrations. Endotoxin concentrations correlated with macroscopic inflammation score, IL‐6 and α2M concentrations. There was a less consistent correlation between EndoCAb concentrations and these parameters. These results suggest that endotoxin is a mediator of the systemic response in this model of experimental colitis.
