pubmed:abstractText |
The role of nitric oxide (NO) in the pathophysiology of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) is controversially discussed. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of NO inhibition in the acute phase of rat 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulphonic acid (TNB)-colitis. To inhibit NO synthesis we used aminoguanidine (AG) as a selective inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). TNB-colitis was induced in rats with and without pretreatment with AG (200 mg kg-1 body weight in the drinking water). The severity of colitis was observed over a period of 7 days. On days 1 and 2, AG reduced concentrations of plasma nitrate and nitrite as well as of portal 6-keto-prostaglandin 1alpha. AG pretreatment increased colonic damage and inflammatory response, assessed by colonic myeloperoxidase and serum lactate dehydrogenase activity, macroscopic damage score, tumour necrosis factor-alpha concentration in stool and colonic glutathione content. The AG-treated group showed a higher and prolonged nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB)/Rel binding activity in the colon. We conclude that NOS inhibition by AG is not beneficial in acute intestinal inflammation. With regard to appropriate therapeutic strategies, NF-kappaB/Rel activation might be a more suitable target.
