Laparoscopy (LS) has been shown to decrease the inflammatory sequelae of endotoxemia.β-arrestin 2 plays an important function in signal transduction pathway of TLR4. High mobility group box-1 (HMGB-1) is involved in the delayed systemic inflammatory response. We investigated the effects of CO2insufflation on liver, lung, and kidney expression of bothβ-arrestin 2 and HMGB-1 during sepsis. Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) was performed in male rats and 6 h later the animals were randomly assigned to receive a CO2pneumoperitoneum or laparotomy. Animals were euthanized; liver, lung, and kidney were removed for the evaluation ofβ-arrestin 2 and HMGB-1 expression. Immunohistochemical detection of myeloperoxidase (MPO) was investigated in lung and liver and bacterial load was determined in the peritoneal fluid. CO2pneumoperitoneum reduced peritoneal bacterial load, increased the expression ofβ-arrestin 2, and blunted the expression of the potent proinflammatory HMGB-1 in liver, lung, and kidney compared with laparotomy. Liver and lung MPO was markedly reduced in rats subjected to LS compared with laparotomy. We believe that CO2exerts an early protective effect by reducing bacterial load and likely toll-like receptor activation which in turn leads to a preservedβ-arrestin 2 expression and a reduced HMGB-1 expression.

Background/Aims: Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) interacts with endogenous substances as well as lipopolysaccharide. We explored whether TLR4 is implicated in tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) signal transduction in human aortic endothelial cells. Methods: The pathway was evaluated by transfection of siRNAs, immunoprecipitation and Western blot analysis. Results: TNF-α activated spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) within 10 min, which led to endothelin-1 (ET-1) production. TLR4 was also rapidly activated by TNF-α stimulation, as shown by recruitment of interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 to TLR4 and its adaptor molecule, myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88). siRNA depletion of TLR4 markedly attenuated TNF-α-induced Syk activation and ET-1 production. TLR4 inhibitor (CLI-095), TLR4-neutralizing antibody and siRNA depletion of MyD88 also attenuated TNF-α-induced Syk activation. Syk was co-immunoprecipitated with TLR4, and TNF-α activated Syk bound to TLR4. High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) was rapidly released and associated with TLR4 after TNF-α stimulation with a peak at 5 min, which was prevented by N-acetylcysteine, an antioxidant. Glycyrrhizin (HMGB1 inhibitor), HMGB1-neutralizing antibody and siRNA depletion of HMGB1 all suppressed TNF-α-induced Syk activation and ET-1 production. Conclusion: Upon TNF-α stimulation, TLR4 is activated by HMGB1 that is immediately released after the generation of reactive oxygen species, and plays a crucial role in the signal transduction.
