Abstract
BACKGROUND: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces cardiomyocyte tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) production, which is responsible for myocardial depression during sepsis. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of gp91phox-containing NADH oxidase signaling in cardiomyocyte TNF-alpha expression and myocardial dysfunction induced by LPS. METHODS AND RESULTS: In cultured mouse neonatal cardiomyocytes, LPS increased NADH oxidase (gp91phox subunit) expression and superoxide generation. Deficiency of gp91phox or inhibition of NADH oxidase blocked TNF-alpha expression stimulated by LPS. TNF-alpha induction was also inhibited by tempol, N-acetylcysteine, or 1,3-dimethyl-2-thiourea. NADH oxidase activation by LPS increased ERK1/2 and p38 phosphorylation, and inhibition of ERK1/2 and p38 phosphorylation blocked the effect of NADH oxidase on TNF-alpha expression. Isolated mouse hearts were perfused with LPS (5 microg/mL) alone or in the presence of apocynin for 1 hour. Myocardial TNF-alpha production was decreased in gp91phox-deficient or apocynin-treated hearts compared with those of wild type (P<0.05). To investigate the role of gp91phox-containing NADH oxidase in endotoxemia, mice were treated with LPS (4 mg/kg IP) for 4 and 24 hours, and their heart function was measured with a Langendorff system. Deficiency of gp91phox significantly attenuated LPS-induced myocardial depression (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: gp91phox-Containing NADH oxidase is pivotal in LPS-induced TNF-alpha expression and cardiac depression. Effects of NADH oxidase activation are mediated by ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK pathway. The present results suggest that gp91phox-containing NADH oxidase may represent a potential therapeutic target for myocardial dysfunction in sepsis.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
