ABSTRACT
AIM:
To study the effect of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) on the pathogenesis of burn shock.METHODS:
Confluent endothelial cells were disintegrated and centrifugated to obtain cell lysates after being treated with 10% burn serum or PKG activator 8-Br-cGMP. PKG activity of lysates was measured with radioactive isotope label method in a reaction system of phosphorylation of specific substrate H2B by PKG, and the shape and the distribution of intracellular filamentous actin were detected by specific fluorescence staining. For the control study, the PKG specific inhibitor KT5823 were used to pretreat the endothelial cells before the administration of burn serum or PKG activator 8-Br-cGMP.RESULTS:
Exposures to burn serum and 8-Br-cGMP led to a rapid time-dependent increase in endothelial PKG activity and the polar distribution of intracellular filamentous actin, and preincubation with KT5823 abolished those effects.CONCLUSIONS:
The results suggest that burn serum induces PKG activation and the stress variety of filamentous actin in the vascular endothelial cells, which probably contributes to the endothelial hyperpermeability after burn shock. [
