LPS is the most abundant antigen on the cell surface of most Gram-negative bacteria, contributing up to 80% of the outer membrane of E. coli and Salmonella. LPS increases the negative charge of the cell membrane and helps stabilize the overall membrane structure.
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are gram-negative bacterial toxins that can cause endotoxemia, possibly leading to the activation of various neuroinflammatory responses (Audet, 2021). LPS is predominantly recognized by TLR4 receptors. It can activate the microglia-mediated release of proinflammatory cytokines, IL-1β, and TNF-α (Forte et al., 2020).
Apr 17, 2023 · Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are important outer membrane components of gram-negative bacteria. They are large amphipathic glycoconjugates that typically consist of a lipid domain (hydrophobic) attached to a core oligosaccharide and a distal polysaccharide.
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a major component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. The glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored receptor CD14 plays a major role as a co-receptor with Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in the inflammatory response of monocytes to lipopolysaccharide [69–71].
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a constituent of Gram negative bacteria that can trigger immune responses via the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) [47]. Recently, Meseguer et al. [48] demonstrated that LPS can activate a subset of mouse sensory neurons in vitro.
LPS performs several functions in Gram-negative bacteria. The most fundamental function of LPS is to serve as a major structural component of the OM. Perhaps not surprisingly, LPS is an essential component of the cell envelope in most, though interestingly not all, Gram-negative bacteria .

Dec 2, 2014 · LPS is recognized by the core receptor complex composed of LPS-binding protein (LBP), CD14, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), and MD-2. LBP is 60 KDa glycoprotein that binds to lipid A of LPS, leading to LPS-LBP complex. 7 CD14 acts as a membrane receptor for LPS-LBP complex, and binding of LPS to CD14 is enhanced by LBP.
Jul 25, 2019 · During the evolution of Gram-negative bacteria, their outermost and major membrane components, lipopolysaccharides (LPS), the constituents of the so-called endotoxin, adapted to environmental changes. This helped pathogenic bacteria evade detection by the host immune...
May 29, 2019 · The surface of Gram-negative bacteria is composed of an asymmetric outer membrane that contains the glycolipid lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exclusively on its outer leaflet 1. The asymmetric ...
