LPS is known to be a potent activator of macrophages and induces the production of TNF-alpha and IL-1. However, the signaling events and regulatory mechanisms required for the activation of macrophages by LPS have not been resolved precisely. We show that LPS modulates its own response in macrophages. Proteose peptone-induced murine peritoneal macrophages (P-PEM) produce significant amount of TNF-alpha and IL-1 after stimulation with LPS. However, preexposure of macrophages to low doses (less than 1 ng/ml) of LPS renders them refractory to stimulation by a second round of LPS, as evaluated by production of TNF-alpha. The loss of sensitivity to a second round of LPS was selective for TNF- alpha production as the LPS-primed macrophages retained the ability to produce IL-1. Northern blot analysis was performed with total RNA obtained from control and LPS- (1 ng/ml) primed P-PEM after 3-h stimulation with a second round of LPS. The expression of TNF-alpha mRNA was inhibited in LPS-primed P-PEM, whereas the expression of IL-1 beta mRNA was the same in control and LPS-primed P-PEM, consistent with the data of biologic activities of these two cytokines. Zymosan-induced TNF-alpha production was the same in control and LPS-primed macrophages, indicating that not all of the pathways required for TNF- alpha production were affected by LPS priming. Monokines such as human (h) rIL-1 alpha, hrTNF-alpha, hrIL-6, and murine rIFN-beta could not substitute for the action of low doses of LPS, and addition of indomethacin could not restore TNF-alpha production. These results suggest that exposure of macrophages to low doses of LPS suppresses the production of TNF-alpha, but not of IL-1, by inhibiting the expression of mRNA through a noncyclooxygenase-dependent mechanism. Thus, LPS- induced production of TNF-alpha and IL-1 in macrophages are differently regulated.
