The aim of this work was to evaluate the systemic Hsp72 expression in rat lung and liver in vivo in a model of acute pancreatitis and investigate the possible involvement of xanthine oxidase and neutrophils in this process. Pancreatitis was induced by intraductal administration of 5% sodium taurocholate and samples of lung and liver were obtained 1 and 3 h later. In some groups of rats circulating xanthine oxidase was inhibited with oxypurinol, and neutrophil recruitment was blocked with a monoclonal antibody against P-selectin. Hsp72 expression was assessed by means of Western blot and immunohistochemistry. Results showed Hsp72 induction in lung, but not in liver, shortly after pancreatitis. Hsp72-induced expression was located in bronchial epithelium, alveolar macrophages, infiltrating neutrophils, and blood vessels. Oxypurinol and the antibody against P-selectin prevented pancreatitis-induced lung Hsp72 overexpression suggesting that Hsp72 induction is mediated by neutrophil infiltration into the lungs. 相似文献

During systemic inflammation, recruitment and activation of leukocytes in the pulmonary microcirculation may result in a potentially life-threatening acute lung injury. We elucidated the role of the poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase (PARS), a nucleotide-polymerizing enzyme, in the regulation of leukocyte recruitment within the lung with regard to the localization in the pulmonary microcirculation and in correlation to hemodynamics in the respective vascular segments and expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 during endotoxemia. Inhibition of PARS by 3-aminobenzamide reduced the endotoxin-induced leukocyte recruitment within pulmonary arterioles, capillaries, and venules in rabbits as quantified by in vivo fluorescence microscopy. Microhemodynamics and thus shear rates in all pulmonary microvascular segments remained constant. Simultaneously, inhibition of PARS with 3-aminobenzamide suppressed the endotoxin-induced adhesion molecules expression as demonstrated for intercellular adhesion molecule 1 by immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis. We confirmed this result with the use of PARS knockout mice. The inhibitory effect of 3-aminobenzamide on leukocyte recruitment was associated with a reduction of pulmonary capillary leakage and edema formation. We first provide evidence that PARS activation mediates the leukocyte sequestration in pulmonary microvessels through upregulation of adhesion molecules. As reactive oxygen species released from leukocyte are supposed to cause an upregulation of adhesion molecules we conclude that PARS inhibition contributes to termination of this vicious cycle and inhibits the inflammatory process. 相似文献

Streptococcus pyogenes of the M1 serotype can cause streptococcal toxic shock syndrome and acute lung injury. Statins exert beneficial effects in septic patients although the mechanisms remain elusive. This study examined effects of simvastatin on M1 protein-provoked pulmonary inflammation and tissue injury. Male C57BL/6 mice were pretreated with simvastatin or a CXCR2 antagonist before M1 protein challenge. Bronchoalveolar fluid and lung tissue were harvested for determination of neutrophil infiltration, formation of edema, and CXC chemokines. Flow cytometry was used to determine Mac-1 expression on neutrophils. Gene expression of CXC chemokines was determined in alveolar macrophages by using quantitative RT-PCR. M1 protein challenge caused massive infiltration of neutrophils, edema formation, and production of CXC chemokines in the lung as well as upregulation of Mac-1 on circulating neutrophils. Simvastatin reduced M1 protein-induced infiltration of neutrophils and edema in the lung. In addition, M1 protein-induced Mac-1 expression on neutrophils was abolished by simvastatin. Furthermore, simvastatin markedly decreased pulmonary formation of CXC chemokines and gene expression of CXC chemokines in alveolar macrophages. Moreover, the CXCR2 antagonist reduced M1 protein-induced neutrophil expression of Mac-1 and accumulation of neutrophils as well as edema formation in the lung. These novel findings indicate that simvastatin is a powerful inhibitor of neutrophil infiltration in acute lung damage triggered by streptococcal M1 protein. The inhibitory effect of simvastatin on M1 protein-induced neutrophil recruitment appears related to reduced pulmonary generation of CXC chemokines. Thus, simvastatin may be a useful tool to ameliorate acute lung injury in streptococcal infections. 相似文献

During the early stages of acute pancreatitis, acute respiratory distress syndrome often occurs. This is associated with the release of proinflammatory mediators into the blood, but it remains unclear why these mediators induce inflammation especially in the lung. One of the first events occurring during the progression of acute pancreatitis is the induction of P-selectin expression in the endothelial cells of the lung. This expression has been associated with the generation of superoxide radicals by circulating xanthine oxidase. Because this enzyme needs molecular oxygen to perform the reaction, we have hypothesized that oxygen present in the alveolar space favors the generation of free radicals by xanthine oxidase and explains why P-selectin is expressed only in the lung. For this purpose, we evaluated the progression of the inflammatory process in rats with induced acute pancreatitis and one lung breathing nitrogen while the other lung continued breathing air. Acute pancreatitis was induced by intraductal administration of taurocholate and myeloperoxidase; P-selectin expression was measured 3 h after induction. Results indicated that, in the absence of oxygen in the alveolar space, the xanthine oxidase-dependent P-selectin expression did not occur and lung inflammation was significantly reduced. 相似文献

Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), a widely distributed enzyme, plays an important role in inflammation. We have studied the role of COX-2 in acute pancreatitis and pancreatitis-associated lung injury using both the pharmacological inhibition of COX-2 and genetic deletion of COX-2. Pancreatitis was induced in mice by 12 hourly injections of cerulein. The severity of pancreatitis was assessed by measuring serum amylase, pancreatic trypsin activity, intrapancreatic sequestration of neutrophils, and acinar cell necrosis. The severity of lung injury was evaluated by measuring lactate dehydrogenase levels in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and by quantitating neutrophil sequestration in the lung. In both the pharmacologically inhibited and genetically altered mice, the severity of pancreatitis and pancreatitis-associated lung injury was reduced compared with the noninhibited strains of COX-2-sufficient mice. This reduction in injury indicates that COX-2 plays an important proinflammatory role in pancreatitis and its associated lung injury. Our findings support the concept that COX-2 inhibitors may play a beneficial role in the prevention of acute pancreatitis or in the reduction of its severity. 相似文献

Caerulein-induced acute pancreatitis was studied in rats. Consistent with this type of acute pancreatitis morphological (edema, leukocytic infiltration and acinar cell vaculization) and biochemical (increase in pancreatic protein content. PAF release and serum amylase) changes developed 5 hours after caerulein administration. In addition increase in pancreatic weight and decrease in pancreatic blood flow were noticed. PAF administration caused pancreatic damage similar in some parameters to caerulein-induced pancreatitis, along with reduction of pancreatic blood flow, increase in pancreatic protein content, and serum amylase. TCV-309, a selective PAF antagonist, administered prior to caerulein and/or PAF, reduced caerulein-induced pancreatitis and prevented PAF-induced pancreatitis. Results of our present studies indicate the crucial role of PAF in pathogenesis of experimental acute pancreatitis. 相似文献

Respirovirus infection can cause viral pneumonia and acute lung injury (ALI).The interleukin-1 (IL-1) family consists of proinflammatory cytokines that play essential roles in regulating immune and inflammatory responses in vivo.IL-1 signaling is associated with protection against respiratory influenza virus infection by mediation of the pulmonary anti-viral immune response and inflammation.We analyzed the infiltration lung immune leukocytes and cytokines that contribute to inflammatory lung pathology and mortality of fatal H1N1 virus-infected IL-1 receptor 1 (IL-1R1) deficient mice.Results showed that early innate immune cells and cytokine/chemokine dysregulation were observed with significantly decreased neutrophil infiltration and IL-6,TNF-α,G-CSF,KC,and MIP-2 cytokine levels in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of infected IL-1R1-/-mice in comparison with that of wild type infected mice.The adaptive immune response against the H1N1 virus in IL-1R1-/-mice was impaired with downregulated anti-viral Th1 cell,CD8+ cell,and antibody functions,which contributes to attenuated viral clearance.Histological analysis revealed reduced lung inflammation during early infection but severe lung pathology in late infection in IL-1R1-/-mice compared with that in WT infected mice.Moreover,the infected IL-1R1-/-mice showed markedly reduced neutrophil generation in bone marrow and neutrophil recruitment to the inflamed lung.Together,these results suggest that IL-1 signaling is associated with pulmonary anti-influenza immune response and inflammatory lung injury,particularly via the influence on neutrophil mobilization and inflammatory cytokine/chemokine production. 相似文献

Potential role for mast cell tryptase in recruitment of inflammatory cells to endothelium 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Meyer MC Creer MH McHowat J 《American journal of physiology. Cell physiology》2005,289(6):C1485-C1491
Recent research suggests that activation of protease-activated receptors (PARs) on the surface of endothelial and epithelial cells may play a role in general mechanisms of inflammation. We hypothesized that mast cell tryptase activation of endothelial cell PAR-2 is coupled to increased calcium-independent PLA2 (iPLA2) activity and increased platelet-activating factor (PAF) production that may play a role in inflammatory cell recruitment at sites of vascular injury. Stimulation of human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC) with 20 ng/ml tryptase increased iPLA2 activity, arachidonic acid release, and PAF production. These tryptase-stimulated responses were inhibited by pretreatment with the iPLA2-selective inhibitor bromoenol lactone (BEL; 5 µM, 10 min). Similar patterns of increased iPLA2 activity and PAF production were also seen when HCAEC were treated with SLIGKV, which represents the tethered ligand sequence for the human PAR-2 once the receptor is cleaved by tryptase. Tryptase stimulation also increased cell surface expression of P-selectin, decreased electrical resistance, and increased neutrophil adherence to the endothelial cell monolayer. The tryptase-stimulated increases in both cell surface P-selectin expression and neutrophil adhesion were also inhibited with BEL pretreatment. We conclude that tryptase stimulation of HCAEC contributes importantly to early inflammatory events after vascular injury by activation of iPLA2, leading to arachidonic acid release, PAF production, cell surface P-selectin expression, and increased neutrophil adherence. atherosclerosis; endothelial cells 相似文献

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) exerts a wide spectrum of regulatory activities during immune and inflammatory responses. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of endogenous IL-6 in the inflammatory response associated with acute pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis was induced by hourly (x5) i.p. injections of cerulein (50 microg/kg, suspended in saline solution) in IL-6 deficient mice (IL-6-KO) and wild-type (IL-6WT) littermates. IL-6KO mice exhibited a more severe tissue injury and a higher rate of mortality and when compared to IL-6WT mice. Acute pancreatitis was characterized by edema, neutrophil infiltration, tissue hemorrhage and cell necrosis, upregulation of P-selectin and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), as well as increases in the serum levels of amylase and lipase. The degree of oxidative and nitrosative tissue damage was significantly greater in IL-6KO mice than in wild-type littermates, as indicated by higher tissue levels of malondialdehyde and nitrosylated proteins. Plasma levels of the inflammatory cytokines tumour necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1beta were also greatly enhanced in IL-6KO mice when compared to wild-type mice. These events were correlated with an increase in the staining (immunoreactivity) for poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in the pancreas of cerulein-treated IL-6WT. The staining for PARP was more pronounced in IL-6KO mice subjected to acute pancreatitis than in the corresponding WT mice. These data demonstrate that endogenous IL-6 exerts an anti-inflammatory role during acute pancreatitis, possibly by regulating the expression of adhesion molecules, the subsequent adhesion and activation of neutrophils and finally the generation of cytokine and reactive oxygen or nitrogen species. 相似文献

Evidence indicates that ischemia/reperfusion (IR) results in endothelial dysfunction and neutrophil adhesion in the post-ischemic myocardium and that ischemic preconditioning (IPC), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and anti-endothelin-1 (ET-1) interventions prevent these effects. We tested the hypothesis that ET-1-induced superoxide (O(2)(-)) generation mediates endothelial injury and neutrophil accumulation in the IR heart, that IPC protects the endothelium and prevents the adhesion by attenuating post-ischemic ET-1, and thus O(2)(-), generation, and that the mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel (mK(ATP)) triggers the IPC-induced protection. Langendorff-perfused guinea-pig hearts were subjected either to 30 min ischemia/35 min reperfusion (IR) or were preconditioned prior to IR with three cycles of either 5 min ischemia/5 min reperfusion or 5 min infusion/5 min wash-out of mK(ATP) opener diazoxide (0.5 microM). Neutrophils were infused to the hearts at 15-25 min of the reperfusion. Coronary flow responses to acetylcholine (ACh) and nitroprusside (SNP) served as measures of endothelium-dependent and -independent vascular function, respectively. Myocardial outflow of ET-1 and O(2)(-), P-selectin expression, neutrophil adhesion and functional recoveries were followed during reperfusion. IR augmented ET-1 and O(2)(-) outflow, P-selectin expression, and neutrophil adhesion, and impaired ACh response. These effects were attenuated or prevented by IPC and diazoxide, and 5-hydroxydecanoate (a selective mK(ATP) blocker) abolished the effects of IPC and diazoxide. SOD (150 U/ml) and tezosentan (5 nM, a mixed ET-1-receptor antagonist) mimicked the effects of IPC, although they had no effect on the ET-1 generation. The preventive effect of IPC, SOD and tezosentan on P-selectin expression preceded their effect on neutrophil adhesion. These data suggest that in guinea-pig heart: (i) ET-1-induced O(2)(-) generation mediates the post-ischemic endothelial dysfunction, P-selectin expression and neutrophil adhesion; (ii) IPC and diazoxide afford protection by attenuating the ET-1, and thus O(2)(-) generation; (iii) the mK(ATP) opening triggers the IPC protection; (iv) endothelial injury promotes post-ischemic neutrophil adhesion, but not vice versa. 相似文献

Lung lavage fluid of patients with acute lung injury (ALI) has increased levels of interleukin-1 (IL-1) and neutrophils, but their relationship to the lung leak that characterizes these patients is unclear. To address this concern, we investigated the role of the neutrophil agonist platelet-activating factor [1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PAF)] in the development of the acute neutrophil-dependent lung leak that is induced by giving IL-1 intratracheally to rats. We found that PAF acetyltransferase and PAF activities increased in lungs of rats given IL-1 intratracheally compared with lungs of sham-treated rats given saline intratracheally. The participation of PAF in the development of lung leak and lung neutrophil accumulation after IL-1 administration was suggested when treatment with WEB-2086, a commonly used PAF-receptor antagonist, decreased lung leak, lung myeloperoxidase activity, and lung lavage fluid neutrophil increases in rats given IL-1 intratracheally. Additionally, neutrophils recovered from the lung lavage fluid of rats given IL-1 intratracheally reduced more nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) in vitro than neutrophils recovered from control rats or rats that had been given WEB-2086 and then IL-1. Histological examination indicated that the endothelial cell-neutrophil interfaces of cerium chloride-stained lung sections of rats given IL-1 contained increased cerium perhydroxide (the reaction product of cerium chloride with hydrogen peroxide) compared with lungs of control rats or rats treated with WEB-2086 and then given IL-1 intratracheally. These in vivo findings were supported by parallel findings showing that WEB-2086 treatment decreased neutrophil adhesion to IL-1-treated cultured endothelial cells in vitro. We concluded that PAF contributes to neutrophil recruitment and neutrophil activation in lungs of rats given IL-1 intratracheally. 相似文献

Inhibitory effect of prostacyclin (PGI2) on neutropenia induced by intravenous injection of platelet-activating-factor (PAF) in the rabbit 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Intravenous injection into rabbits of 1-O-octadecyl-2-acetyl-sn-glyceryl-3-phosphorylcholine (synthetic Platelet-Activating Factor (PAF)) or PAF derived from rabbit basophils caused acute thrombocytopenia and neutropenia which was consequent to the formation of intravascular polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) aggregates and to their sequestration in the microvasculature, primarily of the lung. Infusion of prostacyclin (PGI2; 10 ng/Kg/min to 50 ng/Kg/min) inhibited in a dose-dependent manner PAF-induced thrombocytopenia and neutropenia as well as the sequestration of PMN in the pulmonary capillary network. 相似文献

Poly(ADP-ribose) synthase inhibition reduces ischemic injury and inflammation in neonatal rat brain 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Poly(ADP-ribose) synthase (PARS), an abundant nuclear protein, has been described as an important candidate for mediation of neurotoxicity by nitric oxide. However, in cerebral ischemia, excessive PARS activation may lead to energy depletion and exacerbation of neuronal damage. We examined the effect of inhibiting PARS on the (a) degree of cerebral injury, (b) process of inflammatory responses, and (c) functional outcomes in a neonatal rat model of focal ischemia. We demonstrate that administration of 3-aminobenzamide, a PARS inhibitor, leads to a significant reduction of infarct volume: 63 +/- 2 (untreated) versus 28 +/- 4 mm(3) (treated). The neuroprotective effects currently observed 48 h postischemia hold up at 7 and 17 days of survival time and attenuate neurological dysfunction. Inhibition of PARS activity, demonstrated by a reduction in poly(ADP-ribose) polymer formation, also reduces neutrophil recruitment and levels of nitrotyrosine, an indicator of peroxynitrite generation. Taken together, our results demonstrate that PARS inhibition reduces ischemic damage and local inflammation associated with reperfusion and may be of interest for the treatment of neonatal stroke. 相似文献

Green tea polyphenol blocks h(2)o(2)-induced interleukin-8 production from human alveolar epithelial cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play crucial roles in ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury of lung transplants. Reactive oxygen species may stimulate the production of neutrophil chemotactic factors such as interleukin-8 (IL-8), from alveolar epithelial cells, causing recruitment and activation of neutrophils in the reperfused tissue. Green tea polyphenol has potent anti-oxidative activities and anti-inflammatory effects by decreasing cytokine production. In the present study, we found that green tea polyphenol significantly inhibited IL-8 production induced by hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) in human lung alveolar epithelial cells (A549 line). It has been shown that mitogen activated protein kinases, such as Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p38 and p44/42, could mediate IL-8 production from a variety of cell types. We further investigated the effect of green tea polyphenol on these protein kinases, and demonstrated that H(2)O(2)-induced phosphorylation of JNK and p38 but not p44/42 was inhibited by green tea polyphenol in A549 cells. We speculate that green tea polyphenol may inhibit H(2)O(2)-induced IL-8 production from A549 cells through inactivation of JNK and p38. 相似文献

Volutrauma and atelectrauma have been proposed as mechanisms of ventilator-associated lung injury, but few studies have compared their relative importance in mediating lung injury. The objective of our study was to compare the injury produced by stretch (volutrauma) vs. cyclical recruitment (atelectrauma) after surfactant depletion. In saline-lavaged rabbits, we used high tidal volume, low respiratory rate, and low positive end-expiratory pressure to produce stretch injury in nondependent lung regions and cyclical recruitment in dependent lung regions. Tidal changes in shunt fraction were assessed by measuring arterial Po(2) oscillations. After ventilating for times ranging from 0 to 6 h, lungs were excised, sectioned gravitationally, and assessed for regional injury by evaluation of edema formation, chemokine expression, upregulation of inflammatory enzyme activity, and alveolar neutrophil accumulation. Edema formation, lung tissue interleukin-8 expression, and alveolar neutrophil accumulation progressed more rapidly in dependent lung regions, whereas macrophage chemotactic protein-1 expression progressed more rapidly in nondependent lung regions. Temporal and regional heterogeneity of lung injury were substantial. In this surfactant depletion model of acute lung injury, cyclical recruitment produced more injury than stretch. 相似文献

Selectins play a critical role in neutrophil recruitment to sites of inflammation, in tethering and rolling of neutrophils on vascular endothelium, as well as triggering beta(2)-integrin-mediated adhesion. We have previously demonstrated potential pro-inflammatory effects of soluble E-selectin upon neutrophil effector functions, using a soluble recombinant molecule (E-zz), which increased beta(2)-integrin-mediated adhesion, decreased beta(2)-integrin-dependent migration, and triggered reactive oxygen species generation and release. In this study, we have examined the intracellular signals following neutrophil activation by soluble E-selectin. We show that exposure of neutrophils to E-selectin and platelet-activating factor (PAF) in combination induced a synergistic effect upon beta(2)-integrin-mediated adhesion. Although soluble E-selectin did not induce Ca(2+) mobilization in neutrophils by itself, elevation of intracellular Ca(2+) was specifically prolonged in response to PAF but not leukotriene B(4) or N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe. The prolonged Ca(2+) mobilization observed in the presence of E-selectin was dependent on Ca(2+) influx from intracellular stores rather than influx of extracellular Ca(2+) through SKF 96365-sensitive channels. The specific alteration of Ca(2+) mobilization reported here appears not to have a role in the synergistic effects of E-selectin and PAF upon neutrophil O(2) release but may be involved in augmentation of beta(2)-integrin-mediated adhesion. 相似文献

Lipids play a role in acute pancreatitis (AP) progression. We investigate the ability of pancreatic acinar cells to trigger inflammatory response in the presence of lipid compounds generated in necrotic areas of peripancreatic adipose tissue (AT) during AP induced in rats by 5% sodium taurocholate. Lipid composition of AT was analyzed by HPLC–mass spectrometry. Acinar inflammatory response to total lipids as well as to either the free fatty acid (FFA) fraction or their chlorinated products (Cl-FFAs) was evaluated. For this, mRNA expression of chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) and P-selectin as well as the activation of MAPKs, NF-κB and STAT-3 were analyzed in pancreatic acini. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, as an inducer of Cl-FFA generation, was also analyzed in AT. MPO activity significantly increased in necrotic (AT-N) induced changes in lipid composition of necrotic fat, such as increase in FFA and phospholipid (PL) content, generation of Cl-FFAs and increases in saturated FFAs and in the poly-:mono-unsaturated FFA ratio. Total lipids from AT-N induced overexpression of CCL2 and P-selectin in pancreatic acini as well as MAPKs phosphorylation and activation of NF-κB and STAT3. FFAs, but not Cl-FFAs, up-regulated CCL2 and P-selectin in acinar cells. We conclude that FFAs are capable of up-regulating inflammatory mediators in pancreatic acini and given that they are highly produced during AP, mainly may contribute to the inflammatory response triggered in acinar cells by fat necrosis. No role is played by Cl-FFAs generated as a result of neutrophil infiltration. 相似文献

Blocking P-selectin protects from ischemia/reperfusion-induced acute renal failure. 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
Acute renal failure (ARF) in response to ischemia-reperfusion is thought to be associated with neutrophil infiltration. Neutrophil recruitment depends on adhesion molecules, including P-selectin. Our study sought to characterize the role of P-selectin in ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) -induced acute renal failure (ARF). In wild-type (wt) and P-selectin-deficient (P-/-) mice (both C57BL/6), ARF was induced by 32 min bilateral renal ischemia, followed by reperfusion (I/R). Wt showed a 12- and 20-fold increase in creatinine at 24 and 48 h after I/R, respectively. Similar changes were seen in blood urea nitrogen (BUN). By contrast, in P-/- creatinine and BUN increased only moderately (fourfold over sham). In wt, renal myeloperoxidase activity, indicating neutrophil infiltration, peaked after 24 h (19-fold over sham). This was significantly attenuated in P-/- (fivefold over sham). Western blot analysis revealed maximum P-selectin expression 12 h after I/R in wt. Immunostaining detected P-selectin in glomerular endothelium and in platelets adherent in glomerular and peritubular vessels. Postischemic injection of P-selectin antibody at 10 min after reperfusion, but not isotype control antibody, protected wt from ARF similar to the protection seen in P-/-. We conclude that blocking P-selectin even after onset of reperfusion protects mice from I/R-induced ARF, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies aimed at blocking P-selectin. 相似文献

Complement factor C5a acting via C5a receptors (C5aR) is recognized as an anaphylotoxin and chemoattractant that exerts proinflammatory effects in many pathological states. The effects of C5a and C5aR in acute pancreatitis and in pancreatitis-associated lung injury were evaluated using genetically altered mice that either lack C5aR or do not express C5. Pancreatitis was induced by administration of 12 hourly injections of cerulein (50 microg/kg ip). The severity of pancreatitis was determined by measuring serum amylase, neutrophil sequestration in the pancreas, and acinar cell necrosis. The severity of lung injury was evaluated by measuring neutrophil sequestration in the lung and pulmonary microvascular permeability. In both strains of genetically altered mice, the severity of pancreatitis and pancreatitis-associated lung injury was greater than that noted in the comparison wild-type strains of C5aR- and C5-sufficient animals. This exacerbation of injury in the absence of C5a function indicates that, in pancreatitis, C5a exerts an anti-inflammatory effect. Potentially, C5a and its receptor are capable of both promoting and reducing the extent of acute inflammation. 相似文献
