The administration of endotoxins from Gram-negative bacteria induces manifestations reminding of acute respiratory distress syndrome. p38 MAPKs have been implicated in this pathology. In this study, we show that the specific p38 
,
MAPK inhibitor, compound 37, prevents LPS-induced bronchoconstriction and neutrophil recruitment into the lungs and bronchoalveolar space in a dose-dependent manner in C57BL/6 mice. Furthermore, TNF induction and TNF signals were blocked. In TNF-deficient mice, bronchoconstriction, but not neutrophil sequestration, in the lung was abrogated after LPS administration. Therefore, TNF inhibition does not explain all of the effects of the p38 MAPK inhibitor. The p38 , MAPK inhibitor also prevented LPS-induced neutrophilia in TNF-deficient mice. In conclusion, LPS provokes acute bronchoconstriction that is TNF dependent and p38 MAPK mediated, whereas the neutrophil recruitment is independent of TNF but depends on LPS/TLR4-induced signals mediated by p38 MAPK.
