Experimental endotoxemia induces leukocyte adherence and plasma extravasation within the rat pial microcirculation
View through Europeana Collections
Disturbance of capillary perfusions due to leukocyte adhesion, disseminated intravascular coagulat ion, tissue edema is critical components in the pathophysiology of sepsis. Alterations in brain microcirculation during sepsis are not clearly understood. The aim of this study is to gain an improved understanding of alterations through direct visualization of brain microcirculations in an experimental endotoxemi a using intravital microscopy (IVM). Endotoxemia was induced in Lewis rats with Lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 15 mg/kg i.v.). The dura mater was removed via a cranial window to expose the pial vessels on the brain surface. Using fluorescence dyes, plasma extravasation of pial venous vessels and leukocyte-endothelial interaction were visualized by intravital microscopy 4 h after LPS administration. Plasma cytokine levels of IL1-β, IL-6, IFN-γ, TNF-α and KC/GRO were evaluated after IVM. A sign ificant plasma extravasation of the pial venous vessels was found in endotoxemia rats compared to control animals. In addition , a significantly increased number of leukocytes adherent to the pial venous endothelium was observed in septic animals. Endotoxemia also induced a significant elevation of plasma cytokine levels of IL1-β, IL-6, IFN-γ, TNF-α and KC/GRO. Endotoxemia increased permeability in the brain pial vessels accompanied by an increase of leukocyte-endothelium interactions and an increase of inflammatory cytokines in the plasma.
Title: Experimental endotoxemia induces leukocyte adherence and plasma extravasation within the rat pial microcirculation
Description:
Disturbance of capillary perfusions due to leukocyte adhesion, disseminated intravascular coagulat ion, tissue edema is critical components in the pathophysiology of sepsis.
Alterations in brain microcirculation during sepsis are not clearly understood.
The aim of this study is to gain an improved understanding of alterations through direct visualization of brain microcirculations in an experimental endotoxemi a using intravital microscopy (IVM).
Endotoxemia was induced in Lewis rats with Lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 15 mg/kg i.
v.
).
The dura mater was removed via a cranial window to expose the pial vessels on the brain surface.
Using fluorescence dyes, plasma extravasation of pial venous vessels and leukocyte-endothelial interaction were visualized by intravital microscopy 4 h after LPS administration.
Plasma cytokine levels of IL1-β, IL-6, IFN-γ, TNF-α and KC/GRO were evaluated after IVM.
A sign ificant plasma extravasation of the pial venous vessels was found in endotoxemia rats compared to control animals.
In addition , a significantly increased number of leukocytes adherent to the pial venous endothelium was observed in septic animals.
Endotoxemia also induced a significant elevation of plasma cytokine levels of IL1-β, IL-6, IFN-γ, TNF-α and KC/GRO.
Endotoxemia increased permeability in the brain pial vessels accompanied by an increase of leukocyte-endothelium interactions and an increase of inflammatory cytokines in the plasma.
