Reversal of pulmonary capillary ischemia-reperfusion injury by rolipram, a cAMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor.

Isoproterenol (ISO) and forskolin, agents that increase adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) via adenylyl cyclase activation, reverse lung injury associated with increased microvascular permeability. We studied the role of rolipram, a relatively isozyme-selective cAMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor, in reversing increased capillary permeability due to ischemia-reperfusion (I/R), a form of oxidant injury in the lung, by using the isolated perfused rat lung model. Rolipram (2 microM) administered after 45 min of ischemia and 45 min of reperfusion reduced I/R-increased permeability as measured by the capillary filtration coefficient to control lung values. Computer image analysis of air space edema and perivascular cuffing, as well as wet-to-dry weight ratios, confirms the permeability reversal by rolipram administration. Rolipram inhibition of cAMP PDE in the lung was assessed by using [3H]adenine prelabeling adapted for the whole lung and perfusate [3H]cAMP accumulation. Rolipram failed to increase perfusate cAMP alone but dramatically increased perfusate cAMP above ISO alone. Dose-response relationships of ISO or rolipram show a close correlation of the half-maximal effective dose (ED50) for injury reversal and perfusate cAMP production. The combination of rolipram and ISO produced synergistic reversal of I/R injury. We conclude that reversal of I/R-induced increased microvascular permeability can be achieved with rolipram and that the mechanism of action of rolipram is probably through PDE isozyme-selective inhibition. The similarity of the ED50 values for cAMP efflux and reversal of permeability increases also supports a close coupling between cAMP accumulation and endothelial cell permeability.
