  • Descrição: Effects of dimeric TNF receptor (p80) Fc (TNFR:Fc) on acute phase responses were evaluated in 18 volunteers given endotoxin (4 ng/kg i.v.). Subjects were randomized to receive either placebo (n = 6), low dose TNFR:Fc (10 mg/m2 i.v., n = 6), or high dose TNFR:Fc (60 mg/m2 i.v., n = 6). TNFR:Fc blocked plasma TNF bioactivity (p = 0.001) and increased, in a dose-ordered fashion, TNF immunoactivity (p < 0.001). TNFR:Fc decreased secondary cytokine levels including IL-1 beta (p = 0.007), IL-8 (p < 0.001), IL-1 receptor antagonist (p < 0.001), granulocyte-CSF (p = 0.03), and growth regulated peptide-alpha (p = 0.001) but not macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha or IL-10. Low dose, but not high dose, TNFR:Fc blunted or delayed the release of epinephrine and cortisol (p < or = 0.026). Despite the absence of plasma TNF bioactivity, high dose TNFR:Fc was less immunosuppressive than low dose TNFR:Fc as measured by cytokine and stress hormone responses. Endotoxin-related symptoms were not altered by TNFR:Fc and the febrile response was delayed but not diminished (p = 0.004). Increases in cardiac index (72 +/- 19%) and heart rate (60 +/- 10%) and decreases in systemic vascular resistance index (47 +/- 7%) were unaltered by TNFR:Fc. These data suggest that the inflammatory response to endotoxin can escape from high levels of circulating TNF-blocking activity and redundant pathways, independent of circulating TNF, can sustain inflammation and clinical responses caused by acute endotoxemia.
