Through a Post-Transcriptional Mechanism1

LPS is well recognized for its potent capacity to activate mouse
macrophages to produce TNF-
, an important inflammatory mediator in
bacterial infection-related diseases such as septic shock. We
demonstrate here that while inducing only low levels of TNF-
alone,
DNA from both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria synergizes with
subthreshold concentrations of LPS (0.3 ng/ml) to induce TNF-
in the
RAW 264.7 macrophage-like cell line. The bacterial DNA effects are
mimicked by synthetic CpG-containing oligodeoxynucleotides, but not
non-CpG-containing oligodeoxynucleotides. Pretreatment of macrophages
with either DNA for 28 h inhibits macrophage TNF-
production in
responses to DNA/LPS. However, when pretreatment was extended to
24 h, DNA/LPS synergy on TNF-
is further enhanced. RT-PCR
analysis indicates that mRNA levels of the TNF-
gene, however, are
not synergistically induced by bacterial DNA and LPS. Analyses of the
half-life of TNF-
mRNA indicate that TNF-
message has a longer
half-life in bacterial DNA- and LPS-treated macrophages than that in
bacterial DNA- or LPS-treated macrophages. These findings indicate that
the temporally controlled, synergistic induction of TNF-
by
bacterial DNA and LPS is not mediated at the transcriptional level.
Instead, this synergy may occur via a post-transcriptional
mechanism.
