Research Abstract

(1)Endotoxic shock was induced by injecting lipopolysaccharide (LPS) intraperitoneally to Wister rats. Aortae from rats treated with LPS for 4 hours showed hyporesponsiveness to phenylephrine. This hyporeactivity was reversed by administration of N^<omega>-Nitro-L-arginine, an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase.
(2)The study using in situ hybridization showed that treatment with LPS for 4h induced expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)mRNA in the aortic wall. The signals for iNOS mRNA were localized in the non-vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in the tunica adventitia, and not in VSMCs in the tunica media.
(3)Immunohisotchemistry study using anti rat iNOS sntibody showed that iNOS-like immunorectivity was identified in the tunica adventitia of aortae from rats treated with LPS.
The findings of the present study confirm that LPS administration induces vascular hyporeactivity which is attributable to iNOS induction. The results in in situ hybridization study and immunohisotochemistry study suggest that iNOS induced in the perivascular non-VSMCs is involved in the pathogenesis of endotoxic shock.
The study on the heterogeneity in nitric oxide synthase induction in vascular tissues from different organs is now under way in our laboratory.
