Hemorrhagic shock (HS) disrupts the endothelial cell barrier, resulting ill microvascular hyperpermeability. Recent studies have also demonstrated that activation of the apoptotic signaling cascade is involved in endothelial dysfunction. which may result in hyperpermeability. Here we report involvement of the mitochondrial "intrinsic" pathway in microvascular hyperpermeability foll:)wing HS in rats. HS resulted in the activation of the mitochondrial intrinsic pathway, as is evident from in increase in the proapoptotic Bcl-2 family member BAK, release of mitochondrial cytochrome c into the cytoplasm, and activation of caspase-3. This. along,vith the ill vivo transfection of the proapoptotic peptide BAK (BH3). resulted in hyperpermeability (as Visualized by intravital microscopy). release of mitochondrial cytochrome c into the cytoplasm. and activation of caspase-3. Conversely, transfection of the BAK (BH3) Mutant had no effect on hyperpermeability. Together. these results demonstrate involvement of the mitochondrial intrinsic apoptotic pathway in HS-induced hyperpermeability and that the attenuation of this pat hway may provide an alternative strategy ill preserving vascular barrier integrity.
