In septic shock, tissue factor (TF) activates blood coagulation,
and cytokines and chemokines orchestrate an inflammatory response. In
this study, the role of Egr-1 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induction of TF and inflammatory mediators in vivo was
evaluated using Egr-1+/+ and Egr-1 / mice.
Administration of LPS transiently increased the steady-state levels of
Egr-1 mRNA in the kidneys and lungs of Egr-1+/+ mice with
maximal induction at one hour. Egr-1 was expressed in epithelial cells
in the kidneys and lungs in untreated and LPS-treated mice. LPS
induction of monocyte chemoattractant protein mRNA in the
kidneys and lungs of Egr-1 / mice was not affected at 3 hours, but its expression was significantly reduced at 8 hours compared
with the expression observed in Egr-1+/+ mice.
Similarly, LPS induction of TF mRNA expression in the kidneys and lungs
at 8 hours was reduced in Egr-1 / mice. However, Egr-1
deficiency did not affect plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor in
endotoxemic mice. Moreover, Egr-1+/+ and
Egr-1 / mice exhibited similar survival times in a model
of acute endotoxemia. These data indicate that Egr-1 does not
contribute to the early inflammatory response in the kidneys and lungs
or the early systemic inflammatory response in endotoxemic mice.
However, Egr-1 does contribute to the sustained expression of
inflammatory mediators and to the maximal expression of TF at 8 hours
in the kidneys and lungs.
