Abstract
To determine the role of biopterin in acute lung injury in scald rats with infection, and to observe the therapeutic effect of GTP-cyclohydrolase I(GTP-CHI) inhibitor on postburn sepsis, 56 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal controls (n=10), scald control group(n=10), postburn sepsis group(n=20) and 2,4-diamino-6-hydroxy-pyrimidine (DAHP) treatment group (n=16). Tissue samples from lungs were collected to determine GTP-CHI and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA expression, meanwhile biopterin, nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) levels in lungs were also measured. The results showed that after scald injury followed by Staphylococcus aureus challenge, GTP-CHI gene expression and biopterin levels significantly elevated in lungs, so did the values of iNOS mRNA expression and NO induction (P<0.05~0.01). Pulmonary myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities were also increased. Early treatment with DAHP could significantly reduce GTP-CHI/biopterin induction as well as iNOS/NO levels and MPO activities. The levels of TNF-α and INF-γ both in tissue and plasma were also decreased to certain extent. These results suggest that excessive production of biopterin may play an important role in the patho-genesis of acute lung injury after severe burns combined with Staphylococcus aureus challenge, and early treatment with biopterin synthesis inhibtor might be a potential strategy to prevent the development of sepsis.关键词
