Effects of pentoxifylline administration on vascular response in thoracic aorta from endotoxaemic rats

Abstract

Aim: Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and nitric oxide (NO) are important mediators playing key roles in septic shock, a situation which is trigerred by endotoxin and other bacterial products. In this study we investigated the effects of a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, pentoxifylline on the impaired vascular responses in septic shock, since the agent is known to inhibit TNF- α gene expression by increasing intracellular cAMP levels. Material and Methods: Rats were injected intraperitoneally with 5 mg/kg LPS (E.Coli, serotype 055:B5) to induce endotoxic shock. 1 hour after LPS administration pentoxifylline (12.5, 25 mg/kg) was given by the same route. Contractile responses to phenylephrine, potassium chloride-KCl) and relaxant responses to acetylcholine-ACh and sodium nitroprusside- SNP were studied in the thoracic aortas 18 hours after LPS injection. Results: The contractile responses were decreased in septic shock as well as the endothelium-dependent, receptor-mediated vasorelaxant responses. These results show that excessive NO production via iNOS induction caused by LPS and cytokines such as TNF-α play a key role in the vascular responsiveness seen in septic shock. Pentoxifylline (12.5 mg/kg) reversed the contractile responses (p
