Bradykinin‐induced plasma exudation in guinea‐pig airways: involvement of platelet activating factor

Abstract: 1 We studied the effect of bradykinin on plasma exudation in the airways of the anaesthetized guineapig in vivo. Tissue content of extravasated Evans blue dye was used as an index of protein exudation in the larynx, trachea, main bronchi and intrapulmonary airways (i.p.a.). 2 Bradykinin increased the content of Evans blue in all tissues studied in a dose-related manner. The response was greatest in the main bronchi and i.p.a., less in the trachea and least in the larynx. A dose of 47 nmol kg-1 was the lowest t… Show more

“…For example, Y-24180 exhibited 33% inhibition in the trachea. This finding is in agreement with that in a previous paper (25) in which the apparent bradykinin-induced leakage in guinea pigs was found to be also partially mediated by PAF, prostaglandins and other substances. All of these results demonstrate that Y-24180 acts as a selective PAF-receptor antagonist on airway microvascular leakage and that PAF is not involved in the airway inflammatory responses mediated by LTD,, and those by histamine.…”

“…Besides its bronchocontractile properties, BK is a well known vasoactive peptide, and has been shown to increase vascular permeability in guinea-pig airways (Saria et al, 1983;Rogers et al, 1990). Moreover, an autoradiographic study of human lung has revealed a high density of BK binding sites on bronchial and pulmonary blood vessels (Mak & Barnes, 1991).…”

“…Both intravenous and inhaled bradykinin cause bronchoconstriction in asthmatic, but not in normal subjects (Simonsson et al, 1973;Newball et al, 1975;Fuller et al, 1987;). Bradykinin causes not only bronchoconstriction but also stimulation of sensory nerves (Kaufman et al, 1980;Dixon & Barnes, 1989), increase of mucus secretion (Davies et al, 1982) and airway microvascular leakage with oedema formation (Saria et al, 1983;Rogers et al, 1990), which may be relevant to asthma (Persson, 1987;Chung et al, 1990). Concerning the upper 1 Author for correspondence.…”
