Protective effects of apocynin on "two-hit" injury induced by hemorrhagic shock and lipopolysaccharide.

Abstract:

AIM:To evaluate the protective effects of apocynin on "two-hit" injury in rats. METHODS:"Two-hit" injury model of rat was induced by hemorrhagic shock (40 mmHg for 45 min) followed by iv administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 150 microg/kg). Rats were randomized into seven groups: Sham, LPS, hemorrhage, hemorrhage/LPS, and hemorrhage/LPS+apocynin (2.5, 5.0, and 10.0 mg/kg). Apocynin was dissolved in the resuscitation fluid (normal saline, NS) and administered iv for 2 h. After LPS or NS administration, the survival rates at 8 h, 16 h, 24 h, and 48 h were monitored. The content of malondialdehyde (MDA) was measured in lung at 3 h and 6 h after iv LPS and in serum before hemorrhage, after hemorrhage, and at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 6 h after iv LPS. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in lung and liver was examined at 3 h and 6 h after iv LPS/NS. RESULTS:After "two-hit" injury, the survival rates of rats at 8 h, 16 h, 24 h, and 48 h were 64.3 %, 35.7 %, 28.6 %, and 14.3 % respectively, there were significant differences as compared to sham group (P<0.05 or P<0.01, respectively), the MDA level in lung and serum were significantly enhanced (P<0.01) as compared to sham group, and MPO activity in lung and liver after "two-hit" injury was also significantly increased (P<0.01). Apocynin treatment enhanced the mean arterial pressure (MAP) of hemorrhagic shock rats dose-dependently (P<0.05), increased the survival rate of "two-hit" injury rats, decreased the serum and lung MDA content, and downregulated MPO activity in lung and liver. CONCLUSION:Apocynin could preventively ameliorate "two-hit" injury in rats induced by hemorrhagic shock and LPS insult.
