immune system
• in primary macrophages stimulated with LPS production of TNFA and IL-1B are increased by 40% and 70% respectively
• increased expression of TNFA and IL-1B is maintained for a longer period than in wild-type cells
|
• after LPS challenge, peripheral blood TNFA levels are increased by 30% compared to wild-type mice
|
• when given 20 mg/kg of LPS mice display an almost 5-fold increase in mortality (47.4% compared to 10% in wild-type mice)
|
• when given 20 mg/kg of LPS mice display an almost 5-fold increase in mortality (47.4% compared to 10% in wild-type mice)
• surviving mice take about twice as long to recover after exposure to 20 mg/kg LPS
• following LPS challenge kidney hemorrhagic lesions are increased in number and size, blood urea nitrogen and serum aspartate aminotransferase levels are increased, intravascular coagulation is common in the kidneys, liver, and lung, and TNFA levels are higher
• injection of antibodies to neutralize TNFA and IL-1B reduces the response to LPS and protects against lethality
|
growth/size/body
• newborns are smaller than normal
|
• newborns display reduced body weight
|
• in young adults
|
• in young adults
|
• seen equally in both sexes at birth
|
renal/urinary system
• following LPS challenge kidney hemorrhagic lesions are increased in number and size relative to LPS-challenged wild-type mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• following LPS challenge, relative to LPS-challenged wild-type mice
|
• after LPS challenge, peripheral blood TNFA levels are increased by 30% compared to wild-type mice
|
• following LPS challenge, relative to LPS-challenged wild-type mice
|
cardiovascular system
• following LPS challenge kidney hemorrhagic lesions are increased in number and size relative to LPS-challenged wild-type mice
|
hematopoietic system
• in primary macrophages stimulated with LPS production of TNFA and IL-1B are increased by 40% and 70% respectively
• increased expression of TNFA and IL-1B is maintained for a longer period than in wild-type cells
