Overproduction of inflammatory mediators by macrophages in response to Gram-negative LPS has been implicated in septic shock. Recent reports indicate that three membrane-associated proteins, CD14, CD11b/CD18, and Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4, may serve as LPS recognition and/or signaling receptors in murine macrophages, Therefore, the relative contribution of these proteins in the induction of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), IL-12 p35, IL-12 p40, TNF-alpha, IFN-inducible protein (IP)-10, and IFN consensus sequence binding protein (ICSBP) genes in response to LPS or the LPS-mimetic, Taxol, was examined using macrophages derived from mice deficient for these membrane-associated proteins. The panel of genes selected reflects diverse macrophage effector functions that contribute to the pathogenesis of septic shock. Induction of the entire panel of genes in response to low concentrations of LPS or Taxol requires the participation of both CD14 and TLR4, whereas high concentrations of LPS or Taxol elicit the expression of a subset of LPS-inducible genes in the absence of CD14, In contrast, for optimal induction of COX-2, IL-12 p35, and IL-12 p40 genes by low concentrations of LPS or by all concentrations of Taxol, CD11b/CD18 was also required. Mitigated induction of COX-2, IL-12 p35, and IL-12 p40 gene expression by CD11b/CD11-deficient macrophages correlated with a marked inhibition of NF-kappaB nuclear translocation and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation in response to Taxol and of NF-kappaB nuclear translocation in response to LPS, These findings suggest that for expression of a full repertoire of LPS-/Taxol-inducible genes, CD14, TLR4, and CD11b/CD18 must be coordinately engaged to deliver optimal signaling to the macrophage.
