Abstract
Background:The development of inflammation is accompanied by a change in the rheology of the blood ‐ an increase in viscosity, aggregation, a decrease in the osmotic resistance of red blood cells, which indicates a change in the structure of their membrane. This leads to a change in the functional properties of red blood cells and impaired microcirculation. The search for new anti‐inflammatory drugs, devoid of side effects is relevant. Promising may be endogenous regulatory peptides of the glyproline family, which have a prophylactic and therapeutic effect in various pathological conditions.Aims:The aim of this study was to investigate changes in the osmotic resistance of erythrocytes in the dynamics of experimental peritonitis with the introduction of the peptide Pro‐Gly‐Pro (PGP).Methods:A pro‐inflammatory agent was used to simulate experimental peritonitis ‐ 40% sodium thioglyaolate solution 4 g/kg, administered intraperitoneally. The erythrocyte osmotic resistance (ORE) was determined 30 minutes, 2 and 18 hours after the induction of inflammation. The evaluation of the wholesale electricity market was carried out to determine the degree of hemolysis in hypotonic solutions of sodium chloride. The light transmittance was recorded on a photoelectrocalorimeter at a wavelength of 580 nm. All experiments were performed in accordance with the ethical principles and regulatory documents recommended by the ESF and the declaration of a humane attitude towards animals.Results:The development of inflammation is accompanied by a decrease in the osmotic resistance of erythrocytes. Statistically significant differences in the wholesale electricity market from control were observed 2 hours after the administration of the thioglycolate. The introduction of PGP peptide at a dose of 3.7 μm/kg before the induction of inflammation reduced pathological changes in the ORE. The percentage of hemolyzed cells decreased, the differences were significant in solutions with salt content of 0.4% and 0.3%. The peptide, introduced against the background of developed inflammation (1 hour and 45 minutes after the introduction of thioglycolate) did not have a corrective effect on the ORE.Summary/Conclusion:The results indicate the ability of PGP to exert a preventive protective effect on the erythrocyte membrane, preventing a decrease in the ORE.
