Rhodopseudomonas (Rhodobacter) sphaeroides diphosphoryl lipid A is a relatively inert species of lipid A but has been shown to antagonize the effects of toxic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) both in vivo and in vitro. The antagonist and its monophosphoryl derivative were examined for the ability to block tumor necrosis factor synthesis and reverse tolerance induction in vitro in macrophage cultures stimulated with bioactive preparations of smooth LPS, rough LPS, diphosphoryl lipid A, and monophosphoryl lipid A. Inhibition of agonist activity and reversal of tolerance by these novel penta-acylated lipid A antagonists provides new insight into macrophage-LPS interactions.
球形红假单胞菌(红杆菌属)二磷酸化脂多糖A是一种相对惰性的脂多糖A,但已证明其在体内和体外均能拮抗有毒脂多糖(LPS)的作用。研究了该拮抗剂及其单磷酸化衍生物在体外巨噬细胞培养物中阻断肿瘤坏死因子合成以及逆转由光滑LPS、粗糙LPS、二磷酸化脂多糖A和单磷酸化脂多糖A的生物活性制剂刺激所诱导的耐受性的能力。这些新型五酰化脂多糖A拮抗剂对激动剂活性的抑制和耐受性的逆转,为巨噬细胞-LPS相互作用提供了新的见解。
