Inhibition of NF-{kappa}B Activation by Pyrrolidine Dithiocarbamate Prevents In Vivo Expression of Proinflammatory Genes

Shu Fang Liu, MD, PhD; Xiaobing Ye, BM; Asrar B. Malik, PhD

From the Department of Pharmacology, the University of Illinois College of Medicine, Chicago.

Background—The inability to inhibit multiple mediators of septic shock represents a major hurdle in the treatment of septic shock. In vivo inhibition of nuclear factor (NF)-{kappa}B activation, a transcription factor regulating expression of many proinflammatory genes, could provide a useful strategy for the treatment of septic shock.

Methods and Results—In rats challenged with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) 8 mg/kg IV, we determined the time course of NF-{kappa}B activation and expression of multiple inflammatory signals: tumor necrosis factor-{alpha} (TNF-{alpha}), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), cytokine-inducible neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC), and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM)-1. We studied the effects of in vivo inhibition of NF-{kappa}B activation using pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) on the expression of these mediators. NF-{kappa}B activation preceded the induction of TNF-{alpha}, COX-2, CINC, and ICAM-1 mRNAs. PDTC prevented the LPS-induced NF-{kappa}B activation but did not inhibit activation of the transcription factors AP-1, Sp-1, and CREB. PDTC inhibited the LPS-induced expression of TNF-{alpha}, COX-2, CINC, and ICAM-1 mRNA and proteins and reduced the LPS-induced increases in plasma TNF-{alpha}, 6-keto-prostaglandin F1{alpha}, and CINC concentrations. Inhibition of expression of these mediators prevented the increases in myeloperoxidase activity (a measure of neutrophil sequestration) in the heart, lungs, and liver.

Conclusions—NF-{kappa}B activation correlates with LPS-induced expression of TNF-{alpha}, COX-2, CINC, and ICAM-1 genes in vivo. PDTC inhibits NF-{kappa}B activation and expression of these proinflammatory genes and their products. Thus, blocking NF-{kappa}B activation may be an effective strategy in the treatment of septic shock.
