ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the influence of lanthanum chloride on the TNFalpha expression of murine peritoneal macrophages stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Murine peritoneal macrophages (Mphi) were isolated, cultured and then stimulated by LPS. The influence of lanthanum chloride on the TNFalpha secretion and TNFalphamRNA expression of murine Mphi stimulated by LPS was determined by ELISA method and SYBR green fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR. Forty BALB/C mice were randomly divided into two groups and were treated by lethal dose of LPS and lanthanum chloride processed LPS, respectively. The mortality within 7 days was observed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The TNFalpha secretion and TNFalphamRNA expression level of the Mphi from mice treated by lanthanum chloride processed LPS were obviously lower than those by LPS only (P < 0.01). The mortality of the mice treated by lethal dose of LPS which has been processed by lanthanum chloride was significantly lower than that by lethal dose of LPS only.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Lanthanum chloride possessed the capacity of lowering down the toxicity of LPS and inhibiting the TNFalpha secretion and TNFalphamRNA expression in murine Mphi stimulated by LPS.</p>
