摘要
Previous studies from this laboratory indicate that endothelin-1 (ET-1), a potent vasoconstrictor, may play an important role in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced release of neutrophils from the pulmonary microvasculature. To further test this concept, Syrian hamsters were treated with a novel endothelin receptor A (ETA) antagonist (HJP272) prior to intratracheal instillation of LPS.The effect of HJP272 on the LPS-induced inflammatory reaction was determined by measuring: (1) lung histopathological changes, (2) total neutrophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), (3) expression of tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) by BALF macrophages, and (4) alveolar septal cell apoptosis.Treatment with HJP272 significantly reduced each of these parameters during a 24-hr period following LPS instillation, supporting the concept that limiting the activity of ET-1 may reduce the extent of lung injury. This hypothesis was further tested by giving ET-1 prior to LPS instillation, which resulted in a marked enhancement of LPS-induced lung inflammation, as measured by BALF neutrophils and TNFR1-positive macrophages. Furthermore, the increase in neutrophils resulting from treatment with ET-1 was significantly reduced by HJP272, again demonstrating the ability of ETA receptor antagonists to limit the influx of these cells into the lung.These findings suggest a potential therapeutic role for these agents in diseases where neutrophils are a significant cause of lung injury, such as bronchopneumonia, respiratory distress syndrome, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
