摘要
The effects of isoproterenol (IPN) on histamine and platelet-activating factor (PAF)-induced vascular permeability increment in rat skin and in cultured confluent endothelial cell monolayer were investigated. The results showed that after intravenous administration of 20 mg/kg Evans blue (EB) dye, the intradermal injection of 0. 2 ml PAF(10-7mol/L) or histamine (0. 5 mmol/L) could induce the exudation of 16. 82+2. 05 μg/g tissue and 21. 86+2. 86μg/g tissue of EB respectively into the injected skin. Pretreatment of the rats with intravenous IPN (10 μg/kg) decreased the EB exudation by 56. 2% and 43. 6% respectively. Propranolol (PPN), a β-adrenoceptor blocker, reversed the inhibitory effects of IPN. In rats treated with PPN alone, intradermal injection of PAF and histamine induced significant increase of skin EB exudation in comparison with the control, indicating that catecholamines at physiologic concentration in vivo may have inhibitory effects on vascular permeability. When cultured endothelial cell monolayers were perfused with 1% albumin in Hanks' balanced salt solution the increased fluid flux and protein clearance caused by PAF were significantly decreased by IPN pretreatment. The results confirmed the inhibitory effects of IPN on vascular permeability increment induced by PAF at the cellular level.
