Protective effect of exogenous nitrite in postoperative ileus.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:As the pathogenesis of postoperative ileus (POI) involves inflammation and oxidative stress, comparable to ischaemia/reperfusion injury which can be ameliorated with nitrite, we investigated whether nitrite can protect against POI and explored the mechanisms involved. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH:We used intestinal manipulation (IM) of the small intestine to induce POI in C57BL/6J mice. Sodium nitrite (48 nmol) was administered intravenously just before IM. Intestinal transit was assessed using fluorescent imaging. Bethanechol-stimulated jejunal circular muscle contractions were measured in organ baths. Inflammatory parameters, neutrophil infiltration, inducible NOS (iNOS) activity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, mitochondrial complex I activity and cGMP were measured in the intestinal muscularis. KEY RESULTS:Pre-treatment with nitrite markedly improved the delay in intestinal transit and restored the reduced intestinal contractility observed 24 h following IM. This was accompanied by reduced protein levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and the chemokine CCL2, along with reduced iNOS activity and ROS levels. The associated neutrophil influx at 24 h was not influenced by nitrite. IM reduced mitochondrial complex I activity and cGMP levels; treatment with nitrite increased cGMP levels. Pre-treatment with the NO scavenger carboxy-PTIO or the soluble guanylyl cyclase inhibitor ODQ abolished nitrite-induced protective effects. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS:Exogenous nitrite deserves further investigation as a possible treatment for POI. Nitrite-induced protection of POI in mice was dependent on NO and this effect was not related to inhibition of mitochondrial complex I, but did involve activation of soluble guanylyl cyclase.
