Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: TLR2/1 activation by Pam3Cys enhanced intracellular H2O2 and mitochondrial O2 production in leukocytes, but had no effect on mitochondrial ΔΨm and ATP production. The effect was specific for TLR2/1 as TLR3 or TLR9 ligands did not induce ROS production. Polymicrobial sepsis induced mitochondrial dysfunction in leukocytes, as demonstrated by increased H2O2 and mitochondrial O2- production (CLP vs. sham; H2O2: 3,173±498, n=5 vs. 557±38, n=4; O2-: 707±66, n=35 vs. 485±35, n=17, mean fluorescence intensity, mean±SEM), attenuated complex III activity (13±2, n=16 vs. 30±3, n=7, millioptical densities/min), loss of mitochondrial ΔΨm, and depletion of intracellular ATP (33±6, n=11 vs. 296±29, n=4, nmol/mg protein). In comparison, there was significant improvement in mitochondrial function in septic TLR2-/- mice as evidenced by attenuated mitochondrial ROS production, better-maintained mitochondrial ΔΨm, and higher cellular ATP production.
