Abstract

1. The mechanisms involved in bradykinin (BK)-induced oedema in the rat paw as well as the interactions between BK and several inflammatory mediators, have been investigated. 2. Intraplantar injection of BK (1 nmol/paw) in rats pretreated with captopril (5 mg kg-1, s.c.) caused a small amount of oedema formation (0.17 +/- 0.05 ml). Des-Arg9-BK (DABK, a selective B1 receptor agonist) up to 300 nmol/paw caused minimal oedema (0.03 +/- 0.01 ml). 3. Co-administration of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), prostaglandin I2 (PGI2), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), substance P (SP) or platelet activating factor (PAF) (1 pmol-1 nmol/paw) with BK (1 nmol/paw) dose-dependently potentiated BK-induced paw oedema. The rank order of potency (mean ED50, pmol/paw) for this effect was: SP (8.1) > PAF (13.7) > PGI2 (20.5) > 5-HT (23.8) > CGRP (25.7) > PGE2 (52.0). Co-administration of BK with the various inflammatory mediators resulted in maximal paw oedemas (ml) of: PGE2 (0.71 +/- 0.02); PGI2 (0.66 +/- 0.02); 5-HT (0.65 +/- 0.01); SP (0.63 +/- 0.05); CGRP (0.60 +/- 0.05) and PAF (0.47 +/- 0.02) ml. Histamine (up to 1 nmol/paw) was ineffective in potentiating the response to BK. 4. Hoe 140 or NPC 17731 (two selective B2 receptor antagonists, 0.1-3 nmol/paw) produced dose-dependent inhibition of paw oedema potentiation induced by co-injection of BK with other mediators with the following mean ID50s (nmol/paw): Hoe 140-1.4; 1.3; 1.5 and 1.1 and NPC 17731-1.0; 1.0; 0.9 and 0.7; in the presence of PGE2, PGI2, CGRP and SP, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
