The purpose of this study was to determine whether short-term exposure to clinically relevant concentrations ofPseudomonas aeruginosalipopolysaccharide (LPS) impairs vasoreactivity of resistance arterioles in the intact spinotrapezius muscle microcirculation and, if so, to determine the mechanisms mediating this response. Using intravital microscopy, we found that 60-min suffusion ofP. aeruginosaLPS (0.03–3.0 μg/ml) on the in situ hamster spinotrapezius muscle elicited an immediate, profound, and prolonged concentration-dependent vasodilation (P< 0.05). This response was reversible once suffusion ofP. aeruginosaLPS was stopped. Pretreatment withNG-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (10.0 μM), a nonselective nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor, but notNG-nitro-d-arginine methyl ester, abrogatedP. aeruginosaLPS-induced vasodilation and elicited a small, albeit significant, vasoconstriction. Indomethacin had no significant effects onP. aeruginosaLPS-induced responses.P. aeruginosaLPS had no significant effects on acetylcholine- and nitroglycerin-induced vasodilation in the spinotrapezius muscle. Collectively, these data indicate that short-term exposure to clinically relevant concentrations ofP. aeruginosaLPS evokes an immediate, potent, prolonged, and reversible NO-dependent, prostaglandin-independent vasodilation in skeletal muscles in vivo. We suggest this response could play an important role in the pathophysiology of the profound vasomotor dysfunction observed in the peripheral circulation of patients withP. aeruginosasepsis syndrome.
