Effect of T-kinin on microvascular permeability and its modulation by peptidases in rat airways.

T-kinin (Ile-Ser-bradykinin), the product of T-kininogen, has been found in rat plasma during systemic inflammation, but the effect of this kinin on airway inflammatory response is unknown. We examined the effect of T-kinin on vascular permeability in airways of anesthetized rats in vivo by using photometric measurement of the extravasated Evans blue. Intravenous injection of T-kinin (0.1-10 mumol/kg) increased dye extravasation in a dose-dependent manner, with 134% for trachea and 117% for bronchi by 1 mumol/kg. Pretreatment with bradykinin B2-receptor antagonist Hoe-140 (100 nmol/kg), but not the B1-receptor antagonist des-Arg9-Leu8-bradykinin (5 mg/kg), abolished plasma extravasation evoked by T-kinin (1 mumol/kg). NK1 tachykinin-receptor antagonist CP-99994 (4 mg/kg) did not affect T-kinin-induced vascular leakage. Pretreatment with captopril (2.5 mg/kg), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, potentiated T-kinin (100 nmol/kg)-induced plasma extravasation, whereas phosphoramidon (2.5 mg/kg), a neutral endopeptidase inhibitor, had no effect. We conclude that T-kinin produces airway vascular extravasation via stimulation of B2 receptors. The effect is modulated by endogenous angiotensin-converting enzyme and is not mediated via activation of sensory nerve.
