title: LPS regulation of specific protein synthesis in murine peritoneal macrophages.
abstract: Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D PAGE) analysis of biosynthetically labeled proteins of murine peritoneal macrophages elicited by inflammatory and activating stimuli indicated that the accumulation of a small number of cell-associated proteins was altered after in vitro treatment with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Both increases and decreases in the accumulation of specific proteins were observed after LPS stimulation. Proteins of approximately 87, 43, 37, 30, and 28 Kd were similarly regulated by LPS in proteose peptone-, P. acnes-, and M. bovis BCG-elicited macrophages. Thioglycollate-elicited and resident peritoneal macrophages showed very few changes in the pattern of proteins synthesized after LPS treatment. Many of the proteins whose accumulation was increased by LPS in the elicited macrophages (proteins of approximately 87, 52, 43, 37, and 28 Kd) were already synthesized at high levels in resident macrophages. LPS stimulation also altered the accumulation of many of the same proteins in bone marrow-derived macrophages, indicating the lack of T lymphocyte influence on the LPS-induced changes in macrophages. LPS stimulation of highly purified B cells caused changes in the accumulation of several proteins of 70 and 78 Kd, which were different from those regulated by LPS in peritoneal macrophages.
