Abstract
LPS has an inhibitory effect on contractile activity of bovine mesenteric lymphatic vessels and nodes and causes a pronounced decrease in the tone and phase contractions. The selective inhibitor of inducible NO synthase, 1400W, and cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitor, dynastat, significantly attenuated the inhibitory effect of LPS. Dexamethasone interferes with the inhibitory effect of LPS on bovine lymphatic vessels and nodes. It was concluded that LPS stimulates expression of inducible NO synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 in endothelial and smooth muscle cells of lymphatic vessels and nodes. Dexamethasone has a pronounced protective effect on the contractile function of lymphatic vessels and nodes affected by LPS and suppresses the expression of inducible NO synthase and cyclooxygenase-2.
