The aim of this study was to clarify the role of Gram-positive organisms in the genesis of sepsis. In the present study, we investigated the effect of lipoteichoic acid (LTA) from the cell wall of Staphylococcus aureus on contractions elicited by norepinephrine (NE) in rings cut from human gastroepiploic arteries. LTA diminished the contractile response to NE. This attenuation began after several hours exposure to LTA, and reached its maximum after 10 h of exposure, whether or not endothelium was present. The cyclic guanosine monophosphate content of LTA-treated rings was higher than that of control rings, whether there was a functional endothelium. These LTA-mediated responses were reduced significantly by inhibitors of nitric oxide (NO) synthase and guanylate cyclase. All of this indicates that the main underlying cause of the vascular hyporeactivity to NE was a massive generation of NO. In addition, cycloheximide, an inhibitor of inducible NO synthase, prevented the attenuation of NE-induced contractions caused by LTA. Thus, our results offer strong supporting evidence that the important factor in the genesis by Gram-positive organisms of a diminished contractile response to pressor drugs is their induction of inducible NO synthase in smooth muscle.
