Cutting Edge: Endotoxin Tolerance in Mouse Peritoneal Macrophages Correlates with Down-Regulation of Surface Toll-Like Receptor 4 Expression1
A decrease in inflammatory cytokine production in tolerant macrophages well correlates with down-regulation of the surface TLR4 expression, which may explain one of the mechanisms for LPS tolerance.

Findings indicate that LPS-induced LPS tolerance mainly occurs through the down-regulation of surface expression of the TLR4-MD2 complex; in contrast, MALP-2-inducedLPS tolerance is due to modulation of the downstream cytoplasmic signaling pathways.
Death-associated protein kinase 2 is a new calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase that signals apoptosis through its catalytic activity
Overexpression of DAPK2, but not the kinase negative mutant, significantly induced the morphological changes characteristic of apoptosis, indicating that DAPk2 is an additional member of D AP kinase family involved in apoptotic signaling.
Iκb Kinase α Is Essential for Mature B Cell Development and Function
Results demonstrate that IKKα is critically involved in the prevention of cell death and functional development of mature B cells and transgene expression of bcl-2 could only partially rescue impaired B cell development in IKK α−/− chimeras.
IL-18-deficient mice are resistant to endotoxin-induced liver injury but highly susceptible to endotoxin shock.
It is demonstrated that IL-18 is responsible for the progression of endotoxin-induced liver injury as well as down-regulation of endot toxin-induced TNF-alpha production in P. acnes-primed mice.
Uptake of 111In-labeled fully human monoclonal antibody TSP-A18 reflects transferrin receptor expression in normal organs and tissues of mice.
The findings suggest that the difference in TfR expression between murine strains should be carefully considered when testing for the toxicity of anti-TfR antibody in mice and the uptake ofAnti-T fR antibody could reflect tissue T fR expression more accurately compared with that of transferrin-mediated imaging probe such as [67Ga]citrate.
