Vascular permeability to macromolecules changes qualitatively in inflammation?

K Watanabe

    Japanese Journal of Pharmacology
    |November 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Vascular permeability in rat inflammation changes over time, with dextran and immunoglobulin G peaking early and bovine serum albumin (BSA) later. Cationized BSA shows higher permeability than native BSA initially.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Physiology
    • Inflammation Research

    Background:

    • Carrageenin-induced inflammation in rats is a common model to study inflammatory processes.
    • Vascular permeability is a key feature of inflammation, allowing immune cells and molecules to reach the affected tissue.
    • Understanding the dynamics of vascular permeability is crucial for developing targeted anti-inflammatory therapies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the time course of vascular permeability to different macromolecules during carrageenin-induced inflammation in rats.
    • To compare the permeability of native bovine serum albumin (BSA), cationized BSA, dextran, and bovine immunoglobulin G (IgG).
    • To elucidate the mechanisms underlying changes in vascular permeability during inflammation.

    Main Methods:

    • Induction of inflammation in rats using carrageenin.
    • Measurement of vascular permeability using a fluorometric method.
    • Quantification of macromolecule passage including native BSA, cationized BSA, dextran (40,000 mol wt), and IgG.

    Main Results:

    • Vascular permeability to BSA increased gradually, peaking around 5 hours post-carrageenin injection.
    • Permeability to dextran and IgG peaked at 1 hour and then declined.
    • In the early stage (0-1 hr), dextran showed the highest permeability; BSA became most permeable in the later stage (3-5 hr).
    • Cationized BSA exhibited greater permeability than native BSA in the early stage, with this difference diminishing later.
    • The observed changes suggest a qualitative shift in vascular permeability during inflammation.

    Conclusions:

    • Vascular permeability in carrageenin-induced inflammation is dynamic and changes qualitatively over time.
    • The mechanism of increased vascular permeability is unlikely to be solely due to ultrafiltration through endothelial gaps.
    • Different macromolecules exhibit distinct temporal patterns of vascular passage during inflammation.
