【 摘 要 】

We observed persistent peritoneal bacteria despite a transient early innate immune response to intraperitoneal (IP) Klebsiella pneumoniae. Pretreatment with LPS prior to peritonitis induced a tolerant pattern of pro-inflammatory cytokine protein production over 72 h, but not at the mRNA level. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate inflammatory cytokines and may explain this paradox. After pretreatment with IP LPS or saline, C57BL/6 mice were given 103 CFU of K. pneumoniae IP. Total RNA was isolated from peritoneal exudate cells (4 h, 24 h and 48 h following infection). mRNA and miRNA expression levels were detected and bioinformatics pathway analysis was performed, followed by measuring TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and High-mobility Group Box 1 (HMBG1) protein levels. Of 88 miRNAs studied, 30 were significantly dysregulated at all time points in the LPS-pretreated group, including MiR-155, -146a, -142-3p, -299, and -200c -132 and -21. TNF-α, regulated by miR-155 and miR-146a, was decreased in the LPS-pretreated group at all ...
