ABSTRACT
The effect of aspirin on LPS-incubation of whole blood was investigated. Aspirin induced a concentration dependent increase (2.5-5-fold at 5 mM aspirin) in LPS-induced appearance of TNF-alpha and fibrinopeptide A (FPA) in plasma, despite the concomitant increase in the inhibitory cytokine IL-100. Aspirin substantially raised the levels of LPS-induced TF-mRNA and TNFalpha-mRNA in monocytes isolated from whole blood. The median ratio for TF-/beta-actin mRNA increased from 1.5 +/- 0.44 in the presence of LPS-alone, to 2.5 +/- 0.51 when 5 mM aspirin was added. The TNFalpha/beta-actin mRNA ratios were 1.8 +/- 0.4 and 5.5 +/- 2.7 respectively. Addition of exogenous PGE2 before incubation nearly abrogated the effect of aspirin on TNF-alpha, substantiating the role of PGE2 as a regulator of TNF-alpha synthesis, whereas the effect on FPA was small. Thus, in the presence of LPS in this whole blood model, aspirin apparently had a pro-inflammatory rather than an anti-inflammatory effect.
