CORM-released CO has been shown to be beneficial in resolution of acute inflammation. The acute phase of intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is characterized by oxidative stress-related inflammation and leukocyte recruitment. In this study, we assessed the effects and potential mechanisms of CORM-2-released CO in modulation of inflammatory response in the small intestine following I/R-challenge. To this end mice (C57Bl/6) small intestine were challenged with ischemia by occluding superior mesenteric artery (SMA) for 45 min. CORM-2 (8 mg/kg; i.v.) was administered immediately before SMA occlusion. Sham operated mice were injected with vehicle (0.25% DMSO). Inflammatory response in the small intestine (jejunum) was assessed 4 h following reperfusion by measuring tissue levels of TNF-alpha protein (ELISA), adhesion molecules E-selectin and ICAM-1 (Western blot), NF-kappa B activation (EMSA), along with PMN tissue accumulation (MPO assay) and leukocyte rolling/adhesion in the microcirculation of jejunum (intravital microscopy). The obtained results indicate that tissue levels of TNF-alpha, E-selectin and ICAM-1 protein expression, activation of NF-kappa B, and subsequent accumulation of PMN were elevated in I/R-challenged jejunum. The above changes were significantly attenuated in CORM-2-treated mice. Taken together these findings indicate that CORM-2-released CO confers anti-inflammatory effects by interfering with NF-kappa B activation and subsequent up-regulation of vascular pro-adhesive phenotype in I/R-challenged small intestine.
