ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the possible mechanism and optimal treatment phase of glycine for inhibition lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced Kupffer cells (KCs) activation.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The KCs were isolated from 40 BALB/c mice and divided into four groups the endotoxin group, the prevention group, the early treatment group and the later treatment group (n = 10). The endotoxin group was treated with 10 mg/L LPS, and in the other three groups, glycine (1 mmol/L) was given 24 h before, or at 0 h or 4 h respectively after LPS stimulation. At 0 h, 1 h, 2 h, 6 h and 12 h after LPS stimulation, the mRNA levels and protein expression of interleukin-1 receptor associated kinase-4 (IRAK-4) were determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot respectively, and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activities as well as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) levels were also detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The climax values of IRAK-4, NF-kappaB and TNF-alpha were significantly higher in the endotoxin group and the later treatment group than that in the other two groups (t = 3.17, 4.33, 2.47, 126.73, P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The results indicated that prophylactic or simultaneous treatment with glycine could effectively inhibit LPS-induced KCs activation by inhibiting IRAK-4 expression.</p>
