Bradykinin causes hypotension by activating pulmonary sympathetic afferents in the rabbit

Abstract: causes hypotension by activating pulmonary sympathetic afferents in the rabbit. J Appl Physiol 95: 233-240, 2003. First published April 4, 2003 10.1152/japplphysiol.00584.2002 activates sympathetic afferents in the heart, intestine, and kidney, and it alters hemodynamics. However, we know little about the influence of pulmonary sympathetic afferents on circulation. Activation of pulmonary afferents by directly injecting stimulants into the lung parenchyma permits examination of reflexes that originate in the l… Show more

“…For example, injecting bradykinin, as inflammatory mediator, into the lung parenchyma after bilateral vagotomy in rabbits still evokes significant cardiovascular and respiratory responses, i.e. hyperpnea, tachypnea and hypotension Wang et al 2003). Irritation of the lungs or release of chemicals during myocardial ischemia in heart might activate spinal (sympathetic) afferents and excite thoracic cardiopulmonary convergent spinal neurons.…”

“…For example, a characteristic cardiopulmonary reflex (hyperpnea, tachypnea and hypotension) is elicited by stimulation of pulmonary sympathetic afferents with intrapulmonary bradykinin Wang et al 2003). Dramatic responses in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems to noxious stimuli of heart and lungs also may relate to some pathological conditions.…”

“…2 In animal models, bradykinin causes increased pulmonary vascular permeability, vasodilation, and hypotension. [4][5][6] These actions may be mediated in part through the activation of nitric oxide synthase. 9,10 Methylene blue competitively inhibits the binding of nitric oxide to soluble guanylate cyclase, thereby preventing the downstream activation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate and smooth muscle relaxation.…”

“…3 Importantly, bradykinin has been shown to increase pulmonary vascular permeability and produce hypotension in animals; however, little is known about pharmacologically modifying its effects in a carcinoid crisis. [4][5][6] Herein, we report a severe case of postoperative carcinoid crisis associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) that was refractory to conventional antiserotonin and antihistamine therapies. A rapid improvement in oxygenation and blood pressure was observed following administration of methylene blue, suggesting that methylene blue may be an adjunct treatment for shock and non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema associated with a carcinoid crisis.…”

“…We estimated PA impedance using irregular pacing and employed a method of unilateral proximal PA occlusion rather than unilateral pneumonectomy to acutely reduce pulmonary perfusion volume. As afferent signals from the lung are known to exert reflex effects on autonomic nervous activities and hemodynamics, 24 proximal PA occlusion may mimic acute PTE better than pneumonectomy in that the afferent signals from the occluded lung might have been preserved.…”
