The role of nitric oxide (NO) formed by inducible NO synthase (iNOS), superoxide and the lipopolysaccharide from luminal bacteria in non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-induced intestinal injury was investigated in the rat. Administration (s.c. or p.o.) of indomethacin (10 mg kg(-1)), flurbiprofen (40 mg kg(-1)) or diclofenac (40 mg kg(-1)) increased the vascular leakage of radiolabelled albumin in the jejunum, determined after 24 h, associated with the induction of iNOS, assessed by the conversion of radiolabelled L-arginine. Pre-treatment with ampicillin(200 mg kg(-1) day(-1), p.o,), metronidazole(200 mg kg(-1) day(-1), p.o.), or polymixin B (15 mg kg(-1) day(-1), S.C.), inhibited indomethacin-induced lesion formation, reduced microvascular leakage and prevented the expression of iNOS activity. Administration of the highly selective iNOS inhibitor, GW273629 ((R)-2-amino-4,4-dioxo-6(1-iminioethylamino)-4-thiahexanoic acid; 5 me kg(-1), s.c.), 18 h after indomethacin, likewise prevented the intestinal lesions and attenuated the microvascular leakage. Superoxide dismutase conjugated with polyethylene glycol (3000 U kg(-1), i.v.), inhibited the indomethacin-induced lesions and microvascular leak-age, but not the expression of iNOS activity. These findings suggest that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs compromise mucosal integrity, leading to luminal bacterial translocation. This provokes iNOS induction, leading to microvascular injury involving both NO and superoxide. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
