Abstract：
:Fever is thought to be mediated by leukocytic pyrogen (LP), a polypeptide synthesized by phagocytic leukocytes and which is responsible for the upwards resetting of the hypothalamic thermostat. In an attempt to study the effects of LP directly on brain tissue, purified human LP was incubated with rabbit brain slices in vitro. Because of the well-documented role of prostaglandin (PG) synthesis in both the production of fever and antipyresis, PGE levels were measured on the supernates of brain slices incubated 30 min with LP. Levels of PGE increased 3- to 4-fold in rabbit anterior and posterior hypothalami. In addition, PGE levels were similarly increased in temporal cortex slices when exposed to LP. In another set of experiments, PGE levels increased 4- to 5-fold when brain tissue was incubated with a highly purified preparation of bacterial endotoxin (ET). The ability of ET to increase brain PGE levels was not affected by moderate heating (56 degrees C, 30 min), whereas this temperature destroyed the PGE-inducing properties of LP. The antipyretic ibuprofen markedly reduced the amount of PGE measured in the brain slice supernates after stimulation with LP, suggesting that LP brings about synthesis of PGE and not the release of preformed PG. The results demonstrate that LP is a potent inducer of PGE synthesis in rabbit brain and that receptors for LP are not restricted to the thermoregulatory center, but rather may be distributed throughout the brain.
