چکیده

We tested the hypothesis that central angiotensin II (ANG II) administration would activate splenic sympathetic nerve discharge (SND), which in turn would alter splenic cytokine gene expression. Experiments were completed in sinoaortic nerve-lesioned, urethane-chloralose-anesthetized, splenic nerve-intact (splenic-intact) and splenic nerve-lesioned (splenic-denervated) Sprague-Dawley rats. Splenic cytokine gene expression was determined using gene-array and real-time RT-PCR analyses. Splenic SND was significantly increased after intracerebroventricular administration of ANG II (150 ng/kg, 10 microl), but not artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF). Splenic mRNA expression of IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-2, and IL-16 genes was increased in ANG II-treated splenic-intact rats compared with aCSF-treated splenic-intact rats. Splenic IL-1beta, IL-2, and IL-6 gene expression responses to ANG II were significantly reduced in splenic-denervated compared with splenic-intact rats. Splenic gene expression responses did not differ significantly in ANG II-treated splenic-denervated and aCSF-treated splenic-intact rats. Splenic blood flow responses to intracerebroventricular ANG II administration did not differ between splenic-intact and splenic-denervated rats. These results provide experimental support for the hypothesis that ANG II modulates the immune system through activation of splenic SND, suggesting a novel relation between ANG II, efferent sympathetic nerve outflow, and splenic cytokine gene expression.

Hypothermia-enhanced splenic cytokine gene expression is independent of the sympathetic nervous system.

Splenic nerve denervation abrogates enhanced splenic cytokine gene expression responses to acute heating, demonstrating that hyperthermia-induced activation of splenic sympathetic nerve discharge (SND) increases splenic cytokine gene expression. Hypothermia alters SND responses; however, the role of the sympathetic nervous system in mediating splenic cytokine gene expression responses to hypoth...

اثر آنژیوتانسین II در هسته پاراونتریکولار در تشدیدآسیب ایسکمی- پرفیوژن مجدد کلیه

Background: The renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) is enhanced in renal failure. Paraventricular nucleus in hypothalamus is an important central site to regulate sympathetic activity. There are angiotensin II (Ang) II receptors in this nucleus. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of angiotensin II in hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) on renal ischemia-reperfusion inj...

Hyperthermia-enhanced splenic cytokine gene expression is mediated by the sympathetic nervous system.

Whole body hyperthermia (WBH) has been used in experimental settings as an adjunct to radiochemotherapy for the treatment of various malignant diseases. The therapeutic effect of WBH has been hypothesized to involve activation of the immune system, although the effect of hyperthermia-induced activation of sympathetic nerve discharge (SND) on splenic immune function is not known. We tested the h...

Hypothalamo-Sympathetic Modulation of Splenic Natural Killer Cell Activity: An Involvement of Brain Cytokines

The sympathetic nervous system is one of the multiple channels that communicate between brain and immune system. In the brain-immune interactions, cytokines produced in the periphery and brain during inflammatory as well as noninflammatory stress play important roles as signal molecules. For example, central administration of interleukin-1 (IL-1 ) and interferon(IFN) suppresses splenic natural ...
