Q

TNF - functions

A

acute inflammatory response to gram-negative bacteria
stimulates recruitment of neutrophils and monocytes
induces vascular endothelium to express selectin and chemokines for chemotaxis
stimulates monocytes to produce IL-1
activates apoptotic pathway
hypothalamus: endogenous pyrogen -> cytokine stimulated secretion of prostaglandins
hepatocytes: induces acute-phase response -> formation of CRP

Q

septic shock - effects

A

TNF inhibits myocardial contractility and vascular smooth muscle tone -> tachycardia, hypotension
thrombosis: inhibits thrombomodulin, stimulates tissue factor
low blood glucose: overuse by muscles, underproduction by liver

Q

interleukin-12 (IL-12) is produced by _____ in response to _____

A
activated APCs (dendritic cells, macrophages)
TLR activation by LPS, intracellular bacteria/viruses, and APCs stimulating T cells

Q

IL-12 - functions

A

stimulates IFN-gamma production from NK and T cells
gram-negative sepsis: increased IL-12 induces increased IFN-gamma which, along w/ LPS, induces large amounts of TNF -> septic shock
functions in T helper differentiation
