The aim of this study was to determine the direct effect of LPS on hepatocyte viability and the underlying signaling mechanism. Rat hepatocyte cultures treated overnight with LPS (500 ng/mL) induced apoptosis as monitored morphologically (Hoechst 33258) and biochemically (cleavage of caspase 3 and 9 and the appearance of cytochrome C in the cytoplasm). LPS-induced apoptosis was additive to that induced by glycochenodeoxycholate or Fas ligand, was associated with activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase B (JNK) and p38 mitogenactivated protein kinases (MAPK), and inhibition of protein kinase (AKT). Inhibition of JNK by SP600125, but not of p38 MAPK by SB203580 attenuated LPS-induced apoptosis, indicating JNK dependency. CPT-2-Me-cAMP, an activator of cAMP-GEF, decreased apoptosis due to LPS alone or in combination with glycochenodeoxycholate or Fas ligand. CPT-2-Me-cAMP also prevented LPS-induced activation of JNK and inhibition of AKT. Taken together, these results suggest that LPS can induce hepatocyte apoptosis directly in vitro in a JNK-dependent manner and activation of cAMP-GEF protects against the LPS-induced apoptosis most likely by reversing the effect of LPS on JNK and AKT.Keywords: apoptosis, cAMP-GEF, AKT, exchange protein activated by cAMP (EPAC), lipopolysaccharide, JNK Kathleen PonzettiMelissa KingAnna Gateset alDove Medical PressarticleDiseases of the digestive system.
