Regulatory role of interleukin-1β in vascular calcium sensitivity and its relationship with PKC and Rho kinase in rabbits following endotoxic shock
Objective To investigate the effect of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) on vascular calcium se
nsitivity in vitro and in rabbit after endotoxic shock
and to evaluate whether the effect is concerned with protein kinase C (PKC) and Rho kinase. Methods A total of 35 adult rabbits were divided into 5 groups: normal control
LPS 30minute
LPS 1hour
LPS 2hour
and LPS 4hour groups (n=7). Rabbits were given 1 mg/kg of LPS (O

) via ear-border vein to induce endotoxic shock. Then blood serum and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) were collected to measure IL-1β concentration and calcium sensitivity respectively at correspording time points. The vascular calcium sensitivity was measured with an isolated organ perfusion system. Then the correlation of calcium sensitivity of SMAs with IL-1β concentration in blood serum was analyzed. Effects of different concentrations of IL-1β (25

and it was then elevated very obviously at 4 h after injection (P0.01). As compared to the control group
the calcium sensitivity of SMAs at early period (30 min and 1 h) after LPS injection was increased significantly (P0.01)
however
in 2 h and 4 h after LPS injection
it was decreased obviously (P0.01). The changes of vascular calcium sensitivity was positively correlated with the IL-1β concentration in blood serum (r=-0.675
P0.05). IL-1β reduced the calcium sensitivity of SMA in vitro
but the effect was reversed by PKC and Rho kinase agonists. Conclusion Our experiments reveal that IL-1β could decrease calcium sensitivity of rabbit in vitro
and its effect
is closely related to PKC and Rho kinase. IL-1β may play a very important role in calcium desensitization following endotoxic shock in rabbits.
