Oxidative Stress Reprograms Lipopolysaccharide Signaling via Src Kinase-dependent Pathway in RAW 264.7 Macrophage Cell Line
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Oxidative stress generated during ischemia/reperfusion injury has been shown to augment cellular responsiveness. Whereas oxidants are themselves known to induce several intracellular signaling cascades, their effect on signaling pathways initiated by other inflammatory stimuli remains poorly elucidated. Previous work has suggested that oxidants are able to prime alveolar macrophages for increased NF-kappa B translocation in response to treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Because oxidants are known to stimulate the Src family of tyrosine kinases, we hypothesized that the oxidants might contribute to augmented NF-kappa B translocation by LPS via the involvement of Src family kinases. To model macrophage priming in vitro, the murine macrophage cell line, RAW 264.7, was first incubated with various oxidants and then exposed to low dose LPS. These studies show that oxidant stress is able to augment macrophage responsiveness to LPS as evidenced by earlier and increased NF-kappa B translocation. Inhibition of the Src family kinases by either pharmacological inhibition using PP2 or through a molecular approach by cell transfection with Csk was found to prevent the augmented LPS-induced NF-kappa B translocation caused by oxidants. Interestingly, while Src kinase inhibition was able to prevent the LPS-induced NF-kappa B translocation in oxidant-treated macrophages, this strategy had no effect on NF-kappa B translocation caused by LPS in the absence of oxidants. These findings suggested that oxidative stress might divert LPS signaling along an alternative signaling pathway. Further studies demonstrated that the Src-dependent pathway induced by oxidant pretreatment involved the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. Involvement of this pathway appeared to be independent of traditional LPS signaling. Together, these studies provide a novel potential mechanism whereby oxidants might prime alveolar macrophages for altered responsiveness to subsequent inflammatory stimuli and suggest different cellular targets for immunomodulation following ischemia/reperfusion.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
