The leukocyte migration induced by Phoneutria nigriventer spider venom (PNV) has been investigated in rats using the pleurisy model. Intrapleural injection of PNV (10-100 microg/cavity) caused a dose- and time-dependent leukocyte accumulation. The bradykinin B(2) receptor antagonist Hoe 140 (0.5 mg/kg) substantially inhibited PNV-induced cell accumulation, whereas the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor captopril (2 mg/kg) potentiated by 80% this effect. The non-specific kallikrein inhibitor aprotinin and the plasma kallikrein inhibitor soybean trypsin inhibitor greatly reduced PNV-induced leukocyte migration, whereas the selective tissue kallikrein inhibitor P(ac)-F-S-R-EDDnp failed to affect PNV-induced responses. Treatment of rats with capsaicin (50 mg/kg) at the neonatal stage resulted in 67% inhibition of the PNV-induced cell migration. The neurokinin NK(1) receptor antagonist SR140333, but not the NK(2) receptor antagonist SR48968, reduced by 55% venom-induced cell accumulation. We conclude that bradykinin generation is involved in the PNV-induced pleural leukocyte migration in rats, where it can directly activate sensory nerves contributing to a neurogenic inflammatory mechanism.
