Hyperoxia amplifies TNF-alpha production in LPS-stimulated human alveolar macrophages.

Abstract: Human alveolar macrophages (AM) produce a number of inflammatory mediators including tumor necrosis factor (TNF). TNF-alpha has been implicated in several forms of lung injury including that associated with oxygen toxicity. To investigate whether oxygen could induce or augment the release of TNF from AM, we acquired AM from nonsmoking volunteers and determined TNF release after in vitro hyperoxia. Although TNF release was not induced by oxygen exposure alone, if lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation occurred si… Show more

“…In contrast to our work, previous studies have described increased proinflammatory responses and particularly in LPS-induced TNF-␣ production by AM following in vitro hyperoxia (19,22,54). These results are quite different from our finding of impaired LPS-induced cytokine production.…”

“…First, few Trypan blue positive signals, an indicator for loss of membrane integrity/cell death, were detected in either RAW 264.7 cells exposed to hyperoxia or alveolar macrophages (AM) isolated from hyperoxic lungs (<5%) at a similar level as those obtained from room air controls. This finding is consistent with previous studies which indicate that exposure to hyperoxia does not decrease viability of macrophages [21,22,25,43,44]. In addition, RAW 264.7 cells, exposure to 65% O 2, could still proliferate (Fig.…”

“…Hyperoxia may affect a variety of host biological systems, such as antioxidant enzymes (43) and cytokine production (28), through excessive production of reactive oxygen species. Several investigators have reported that hyperoxia up-regulates TNF-␣ gene and protein expression, especially after triggering stimuli (35,36,44,45). In addition, hyperoxia has been reported to induce a marked increase in message and protein levels of Fas in lungs, although Fas-deficient mice are not resistant to hyperoxia-induced lung damage itself (29).…”
