ABSTRACT
AIM and METHODS: To elucidate the mechanism of anti-endotoxic shock of cholecystokinin octapeptide(CCK-8), the effects of CCK-8 on changes in rabbit thoracic aortic reactivities induced by lipopolysaccharides(LPS) in vitro were studied, and the ultrastructure of the endothelial cells was observed under scanning electron microscope. RESULTS: Incubation of thoracic aortic rings(TARs) with LPS(100 mg/L) resulted in an time-dependent impairment of the endothelium-dependent relaxations to acetylcholine(incubation for 3, 7, 14 h), a reduction of contractive response to phenylphrine(incubation for 14 h) and ultrastructural injury in endothelial cells(incubation for 7 h), all of which were alleviated by concomitant incubation with CCK-8(1 mg/L). In contrast, neither the vascular contractions nor the relaxations were affected by CCK-8 (1 mg/L) alone. CONCLUSION: CCK-8 improved the vascular reactivities in the presence of LPS, which may be one of the anti-endotoxic shock mechanisms of CCK.
