Heat-killed gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus as well as S. aureus-derived exotoxins B and toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 can induce nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B)-like activity in murine bone marrow macrophages. The induction of NF-kappa B-like activity in murine macrophages by S. aureus was as effective as induction by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) or lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and was observed in macrophages derived from LPS-sensitive and LPS-resistant mice. Stimulation of macrophages with S. aureus but not with the exotoxins resulted in the accumulation of TNF-alpha in the culture medium. The induction of NF-kappa B-like activity by S. aureus, however, clearly preceded TNF-alpha secretion and was not inhibited by a neutralizing serum against TNF-alpha. In addition, pretreatment of macrophages with the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide or dexamethasone, which prevented the secretion of TNF-alpha from macrophages, did not interfere with the induction of NF-kappa B-like activity by S. aureus. This findings reveal the existence of bacterial components other than LPS which can induce NF-kappa B-like activity in susceptible cells.
