title: [The role of bacterial endotoxins, receptors and cytokines in the pathogenesis of septic (endotoxin) shock].
abstract: Sepsis, resistant to therapy, results in the development of septic (endotoxin) shock. The latter is caused by the endotoxins of different Gram-negative bacteria. Endotoxin (bacterial lipopdisacharide--LPS) interacts with cells through specific membrane or plasma soluble endotoxin receptors (sCD14, mlD14, LBP, CD13/CD14, CD16, CD116/CD18, L-selectin, etc.). Endotoxin interaction with the mCD14 receptor of the monocytes, macrophages and the neutrophils results in the production of a number of proinflammatory cytokines--tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha), interleukines 1 and 6 (IL-1 and IL-6, etc), antiinflammatory cytokines--interleukines 10 and 12 (IL-10 and IL-12), cell adhesion molecules (P-selectin, E-selectin, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, etc.) and inducible enzymes: inducible NO synthase (iNOS), inducible phospholipase A2 (cPL-A2), inducible cyclooxygenase (COX-2). All pathologic processes in the structure and function of human body during endotoxin shock are a result of the disbalance of a number of mediators with a proinflammatory and antiinflammatory effects.
