Enhanced prostanoid generation has been implicated in vascular abnormalities occurring during endotoxemia and sepsis, and the lung is particularly prone to such events. Prostanoids are generated from arachidonic acid (AA) via cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 or -2, both isoenzymes recently demonstrated to be expressed in different lung cell types. Upregulation of COX may underlie the phenomenon that endotoxin [lipopolysaccharide (LPS)]-exposed lungs show markedly enhanced vasoconstrictor responses to secondarily applied stimuli (priming). Isolated rat lungs were perfused with a physiological salt buffer solution in the absence and presence of 1.5% rat plasma and exposed to different concentrations of LPS (1,000 or 10,000 ng/ml) during a 2-h priming period. No change in physiological variables was noted during this period, although enhanced baseline liberation of both thromboxane (Tx) A(2) and PGI(2) as well as of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha was evident compared with that in control lungs in the absence of LPS. LPS priming caused a significant elevation in AA-induced pulmonary arterial pressure, ventilation pressure, and lung weight gain. Concomitant increased levels of TxA(2) were found in the buffer perfusate. All changes were largely suppressed by three selective, structurally unrelated COX-2 inhibitors (NS-398, DUP-697, and SC-236) in both buffer- and buffer-plasma-perfused lungs. Anti-TNF-alpha neutralizing antibodies were ineffective under conditions of buffer perfusion. In the presence of plasma components, manyfold augmented TNF-alpha generation was noted, and anti-TNF-alpha antibodies significantly suppressed the increase in ventilation pressure but not in the vascular pressor response and lung edema formation. We conclude that the propensity of LPS-primed lungs to respond with enhanced vasoconstriction, edema formation, and bronchoconstriction to a secondarily applied stimulus proceeds nearly exclusively via COX-2 and increased Tx formation, with TNF-alpha generation being involved in the change in bronchomotor reactivity in the presence of plasma constituents. In context with recent immunohistological investigations, LPS-induced upregulation of the COX-2-thromboxane synthase axis in vascular and bronchial smooth muscle cells is suggested to underlie these events.
