Therefore, the serum levels of multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines Male C57BL/6 mice were injected with different doses of rolipram (1 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg, i.p.) 1 hr before LPS injection. We demonstrate that rolipram may protect against LPS-induced inflammation and shock in mice, likely through the inhibition of the NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways. We have found that rolipram inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines released by the administration of LPS, leading to the suppression of excessive inflammatory responses, cell adhesion and migration, and the further sequelae of shock and multiple organ failure in the mouse host. Our results indicated that rolipram suppresses LPS-induced ERK, JNK, and p38 MAPK phosphorylation in lung tissue, suggesting that the MAPK signaling pathway -as well as NF-κB -may mediate the anti-inflammatory actions of rolipram. ./cache/cord-004140-ujzrqzv3.txt ./txt/cord-004140-ujzrqzv3.txt
