Protective effects of a leukotriene inhibitor and a leukotriene antagonist on endotoxin-induced mortality in carrageenan-pretreated mice.

Abstract：

:The leukotrienes and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) play an important role in the pathophysiology of septic shock, in which hypotension, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and hemoconcentration are observed. This study was performed to examine the effects of a 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor (AA-861), a selective leukotriene receptor antagonist (ONO-1078), and a cyclooxygenase inhibitor (indomethacin) on endotoxin-induced mortality and TNF production in mice. Mice were injected intraperitoneally with carrageenan (5 mg per mouse), which we previously reported as an effective priming agent for lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced TNF production and mortality (M. Ogata, S. Yoshida, M. Kamochi, A. Shigematsu, and Y. Mizuguchi, Infect. Immun. 59:679-683, 1991). The indicated doses of AA-861, ONO-1078, indomethacin, or controls were administrated subcutaneously 30 min before LPS (50 micrograms per mouse) provocation. The mortality of mice was significantly decreased by pretreatment with AA-861 (P less than 0.001) or ONO-1078 (P less than 0.01) but not by pretreatment with indomethacin. The 50% lethal dose of LPS in the mice treated with dimethyl sulfoxide or ethanol was 32 or 33 micrograms, respectively, and it increased to 83 micrograms with AA-861 or 59 micrograms with ONO-1078, respectively. Neither AA-861 nor ONO-1078 suppressed LPS-induced TNF production in sera. Treatment with AA-861 significantly decreased the leukopenia and thrombocytopenia, and ONO-1078 significantly decreased the hemoconcentration and thrombocytopenia. The role of endogenous TNF was also examined in the carrageenan-pretreated mice. Treatment with 2 x 10(5) U of rabbit anti TNF-alpha antibody intravenously 2 h before LPS challenge significantly suppressed the LPS-induced TNF activity and decreased the mortality. Therefore, both leukotrienes and TNF play important roles in endotoxin-induced shock and mortality.
