To address the effect of LPS/TLR4-mediated activation of TLR3 in AMΦ on inflammatory cytokines, we assessed TNF-α and IL-6 in the serum and BALF, as well as the chemokines MIP-2 and MCP-1 in the BALF, following sequential intratracheal challenges with LPS and Poly I:C. This cross talk between TLR4 and TLR3 in AMΦ resulted in the amplification of cytokine (IL-6, TNF-α ) and chemokine (MIP-2, MCP-1) expression in response to LPS and Poly I:C, which activate TLR4 and TLR3, respectively, and subsequently led to enhanced PMN sequestration into the lung, which was found to be correlated with ALI based on the assessment of alveolar-capillary permeability and histological sections of lung tissue. ./cache/cord-002411-iiw878w8.txt ./txt/cord-002411-iiw878w8.txt
