We investigated the role of activation of bradykinin receptors and mast cells in the microvascular leakage of the vessels of the skin induced by the intracutaneous (i.c.) injection of bradykinin in the rat. We evaluated the effects of HOE140 (D-Arg-[Hyp3,Thi5,D-Tic7,Oic8]bradykinin), a bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist, and ketotifen (4-(1-methyl-4-piperidylidene)4H-benzo[4,5]cyclohepta[1, 2-b]thiophen-10(9H)-one hydrogen fumarate), a histamine H1 receptor antagonist with mast cell stabilizing properties, on the skin response. Evans blue dye extravasation served as an index of the increase in vascular permeability. Bradykinin (2-100 nmol/site i.c.) induced the extravasation of Evans blue dye in a dose-dependent manner. Ketotifen (20 mg/kg i.p.) significantly inhibited the leakage of dye induced by bradykinin (10 nmol/site i.c.) by 66.2%, while HOE140 (1 mg/kg i.v.) had no effect. The concomitant injection of HOE140 (0.2, 2 nmol/site) and bradykinin (10 nmol/site i.c.), also did not significantly reduce the extravasation of dye. We conclude that the extravasation of plasma induced by the i.c. injection of bradykinin is mediated mainly by stimulation of the skin mast cells, but not by bradykinin B2 receptors.
