Effects of endothelin receptor antagonists on endothelin-1 and inducible nitric oxide synthase genes in a rat endotoxic shock model.
Levels of the endothelium-derived vasoconstrictor endothelin (ET)-1 and the vasodilator nitric oxide (NO) are markedly increased in endotoxic shock, although the pathophysiological role of ET-1 and its relation to NO under septic conditions remains obscure. To delineate the roles of ET-1 and the ET receptors, and the NO/inducible NO synthase (iNOS) system in endotoxic shock, we examined the gen...
متن کاملThe role of tumor necrosis factor in endotoxic shock.
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) has been implicated in hemodynamic changes of endotoxic shock. The temporal relationship of hypotension and TNF release in endotoxemia was studied. Carotid arteries of five intubated rats were cannulated and Escherichia coli 0127:B8 lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was infused over 10 seconds. Arterial blood pressure (ABP), heart rate, and plasma TNF concentrations were meas...
متن کاملProtective role of angiopoietin-1 in endotoxic shock.
BACKGROUND Angiopoietin-1 (Ang1) plays an essential role in embryonic vasculature development, protects the adult peripheral vasculature from leakage, and has antiinflammatory properties. Because endotoxin-induced shock is a condition with microvascular leakage resulting from inflammation, we examined the potential therapeutic benefit of Ang1 in a murine model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induce...
متن کاملA Key Role for Cc Chemokine Receptor 4 in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Endotoxic Shock
CC chemokine receptor (CCR)4, a high affinity receptor for the CC chemokines thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC) and macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC), is expressed in the thymus and spleen, and also by peripheral blood T cells, macrophages, platelets, and basophils. Recent studies have shown that CCR4 is the major chemokine receptor expressed by T helper type 2 (Th2) polarized ce...
متن کاملBacteraemic and endotoxic shock.
In 1924 Sanarelli recorded that endotoxins of Gram-negative organisms would damage capillary and postcapillary venular endothelium. By 1935 it was known that two spaced doses of endotoxin given to rabbits would cause renal cortical necrosis and foci of damage in many organs, the Shwartzman reaction. This is due to a combination of vasospasm and intravascular coagulation. Human equivalents of th...
