Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) has been considered as a potent endogenous mechanism capable of inhibiting the inflammatory response. The migration of neutrophils (mn) is a central event in the development of inflammation. Our group has demonstrated that PCI inhibits mn in experimental models, however the mechanisms and mediators involved are not yet known. Aim: To study the involvement of mediators nitric oxide and carbon monoxide, adhesion proteins (ICAM-1 and β2-integrin) and expression of CXCR2 in the inhibitory effect of PCI on the distance min. Methods: The model of distance PCI was performed with a tourniquet in the right hind limb of mice for 10 minutes followed by 30 reperfusion. Involvement of NO and CO was investigated using inhibitors of iNOS (1400 W, 3 mg/kg or aminoguanidine (Amg), 50 mg/kg) and HO-1 (ZnPPIX, 10 mg/kg) as pretreatment 30 min. Later, peritonitis was induced by carrageenan (Cg) (500 mg/cav). Four hours later the peritoneal cavity (pc) was washed and leukocytes were counted. After that same procedure, the animals were subjected to intravital microscopy (IVM) to evaluate the effects of NO and CO in the mesenteric venules of 3rd order. Neutrophils from animals preconditioned and pre-treated or untreated, were used for testing chemotaxis in vitro, using the stimulus to chemokine KC (30ng/ml). The expression of GRK2 and CXCR2 in neutrophils was determined by flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry, respectively. The stakes and ICAM-1/CD54 β2-integrina/CD11b been investigated in knockout mice for genes of these molecules. The mn in these animals was evaluated according to protocol previously described by washed peritonela. In the investigation of the role of NO and CO in the modulation of cell adhesion protein (β2-integrin), we used iNOS inhibitor (1400W, 3 mg/kg or Amg, 50 mg/kg, sc), HO-1 (ZnPPIX, 10 mg/kg, sc) and guanylate cyclase (ODQ (5 µmol/kg, ip)) in pre-treatment 30 min before PCI. After peritonitis, blood was collected and the expression of CD11b on neutrophils was determined by flow cytometry. For statistical analysis, we used ANOVA/Bonferroni. P<0,05 was accepted. Results: The CO and NO inhibitors prevented the inhibitory effect of PCI on mn (P<0,05). Moreover, neutrophils from animals preconditioned showed reduced chemotaxis (p<0,05), a finding that correlated with decreased expression of CXCR2 in the membrane of neutrophils (p<0,05) and increased expression of GRK2. There was no change in chemotaxis or the expression of GRK2 when neutrophils were obtained from animals pre-conditioned and pretreated with inhibitors of CO, NO and sGC. Preconditioned animals showed a reduction in circulating neutrophils and the grip on IVM, which were prevented by pretreatment with inhibitors (P<0,05). The inhibitory effect of PCI was shown in knockout animals for β2-integrin, which was not observed in the knockout animals to ICAM-1. Moreover, neutrophils from animals preconditioned showed a significant reduction in the expression of CD11b, which was prevented in animals pretreated with inhibitors of iNOS, HO-1 and GCs. Conclusions: The results suggest that NO and CO act in the inhibitory effect of PCI via iNOS and HO-1 in place apart by modulating ICAM-1, β2-integrin and CXCR2 via GRK2.
