Endotoxemia (LPS) can exacerbate ischemic tubular injury and acute renal failure (ARF). The present study tested the following hypothesis: that acute ischemic damage sensitizes the kidney to LPS-mediated TNF-{alpha} generation, a process that can worsen inflammation and cytotoxicity. CD-1 mice underwent 15 min of unilateral renal ischemia. LPS (10 mg/kg iv), or its vehicle, was injected either 45 min before, or 18 h after, the ischemic event. TNF-{alpha} responses were gauged 2 h post-LPS injection by measuring plasma/renal cortical TNF-{alpha} and renal cortical TNF-{alpha} mRNA. Values were contrasted to those obtained in sham-operated mice or in contralateral, nonischemic kidneys. TNF-{alpha} generation by isolated mouse proximal tubules (PTs), and by cultured proximal tubule (HK-2) cells, in response to hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R), oxidant stress, antimycin A (AA), or LPS was also assessed. Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R), by itself, did not raise plasma or renal cortical TNF-{alpha} or its mRNA. However, this same ischemic insult dramatically sensitized mice to LPS-mediated TNF-{alpha} increases in both plasma and kidney (~2-fold). During late reperfusion, increased TNF-{alpha} mRNA levels also resulted. PTs generated TNF-{alpha} in response to injury. Neither AA nor LPS alone induced an HK-2 cell TNF-{alpha} response. However, when present together, AA+LPS induced approximately two- to fivefold increases in TNF-{alpha}/TNF-{alpha} mRNA. We conclude that modest I/R injury, and in vitro HK-2 cell mitochondrial inhibition (AA), can dramatically sensitize the kidney/PTs to LPS-mediated TNF-{alpha} generation and increases in TNF-{alpha} mRNA. That ischemia can "prime" tubules to LPS response(s) could have potentially important implications for sepsis syndrome, concomitant renal ischemia, and for the induction of ARF.
