Abstract:To evaluate the potential effect of recombinant bactericidal/permeability increasing protein (rBPI21)on hepatic nitric oxide synthase(NOS)activity and its significance following endotoxic shock.Methods:SD rats were subjected to endotoxic shock induced by a bolus injection of lipopolysaccharide(15.0mg/kg,i.p.).The animals were randomly divided into normal controls(n=10),endotoxic shock group(n=20)and rBPI12-treated group(n=20).Hepatic NOS,guanosine triphosphate cyclohydrolase I(GTP-CHI)activities,and biopterin levels were measured at various intervals.Also,hepatic microcirculatory perfusion was determined by laser Doppler flowmetry.Results:Following endotoxin challenge,hepatic inducible NOS(iNOS)activities were significantly elevated(P<0.01),while constitutive NOS(cNOS)activities showed no marked change at any time point(P>0.05).Treatment with rBPI21,significantly inhibited hepatic iNOS activities with improvement of microcirculatory perfusion.Local gTP-CHI activities and biopterin levels were much lower in rBPI21treated group than that in endotoxic shock group(P<0.05~0.01).Conclusions:Early treatment with rBPI21can selectively inhibit endotoxin-induced hepatic iNOS activity and improve local microcirculatory perfusion,probably through the down-regulation of gTP-CHI activity and biopterin formation in the liver.
