Lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) is upregulated as part of the acute phase response. LBP has a known multifunctional role in potentiating the recognition, clearance, and killing of Gram-negative bacteria. In a Klebsiella pneumonia model we previously demonstrated that LBP-/- mice experience increased mortality when compared to wild-type (Wt) mice (98 vs. 59%). We hypothesize that LBP is essential to bacterial clearance from the lung and its absence leads to alteration of the pulmonary inflammatory response to pneumonia. 12 -16 week old female C57Bl/6 Wt mice and age matched LBP-/- mice were administered 1×103 colony forming units (CFU) of Klebsiella pneumoniae by intratracheal injection. Animals were euthanized at 6, 12, 24, or 36 hours post inoculation. Lung tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage samples were obtained. Lung homogenate samples were assayed to determine quantitative bacteria load per whole lung, proinflammatory cytokine concentrations, myeloperoxidase activity, and assessment of pulmonary leukocyte populations. In vitro production of inflammation mediators were also assayed following lipopolysaccharide stimulation of peritoneal macrophages isolated from Wt, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-/-, and LBP-/- mice. LBP-/- mice demonstrated significantly elevated levels of bacteria in the lung at 24 and 36 hours when compared to wild-type controls. The average lung levels of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, KC, and MIP-2 were greater in the LBP-/- mice and remained elevated longer when compared to the Wt mice. Myeloperoxidase activity, an indicator of neutrophil content, was significantly increased at time 36 hours in the LBP-/- mice. Following in vitro stimulation of peritoneal macrophages with LPS, production of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, KC, and MIP-1α were suppressed in LBP-/- and TLR4-/- mice compared to Wt. Absence of a functional LBP gene results in diminished clearance of Gram-negative bacteria from the pulmonary system. Failure to recognize and clear Gram-negative bacteria via the LBP/TLR4 axis results in an initial delayed inflammatory response. This delay in LBP-/- mice is followed by excessive amplification and prolonged elevation of proinflammatory mediators and neutrophil sequestration within the lungs.
