Abstract

- We examined the expression of interleukin (IL)-1 beta, IL-6 and tumour necrosis factor (TNF) alpha in mice lacking microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1), which neither produce prostaglandin E-2, nor mount a febrile response upon immune challenge. Intraperitoneal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection resulted in a strongly induced expression of all three cytokines in the brain and viscera, similar to wild-type animals. Several brain regions additionally showed modest induction of receptors for these cytokines in both genotypes. Telemetric recordings of body temperature showed that the mPGES-1 deficient mice remained afebrile upon LPS challenge, in contrast to the prominent fever displayed by the wild-type mice. These data demonstrate that LPS-induced cytokine expression occurs independently of prostaglandin E-2, and imply that endogenously expressed IL-1 beta, IL-6, and TNF alpha are not pyrogenic per se, supporting the role of prostaglandin E-2 as the final and obligatory mediator of LPS-induced fever.
