The present study was designed to determine the role of
endogenous brain interleukin (IL)-1 in the anorexic response to
lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Intraperitoneal administration of LPS
(5-10 µg/mouse) induced a dramatic, but transient, decrease in
food intake, associated with an enhanced expression of proinflammatory
cytokine mRNA (IL-1
, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-
)
in the hypothalamus. This dose of LPS also increased plasma levels of
IL-1
. Intracerebroventricular pretreatment with IL-1 receptor
antagonist (4 µg/mouse) attenuated LPS-induced depression of food
intake and totally blocked the LPS-induced enhanced expression of
proinflammatory cytokine mRNA measured in the hypothalamus 1 h after
treatment. In contrast, LPS-induced increases in plasma levels of
IL-1
were not altered. These findings indicate that endogenous brain
IL-1 plays a pivotal role in the development of the hypothalamic
cytokine response to a systemic inflammatory stimulus.
