dc.description.abstractPolymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) may play an important role in many pathophysiological states. The effect of a factor derived from PMNs on endothelium-dependent relaxation was studied using rat aortic rings in organ chambers. PMNs were obtained from cardiac surgical patients and healthy volunteers. After incubation in Krebs solution for 3 h, supernatants of PMN suspensions were isolated and used to pretreat the aortic rings for 30 min. The results showed that the supernatants derived from 1 x 10(4) to 5 x 10(6) cells/ml PMNs produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of endothelium-dependent relaxation to acetylcholine but not endothelium-independent relaxation to sodium nitroprusside. The effect could not be prevented by oxygen free radical scavenger superoxide dismutase (150 U/ml), catalase (1,200 U/ml), or mannitol (20 mM) used alone or in combination. Heating the supernatants at 95 degrees C for 30 min did not reduce the inhibitory effect. L-Arginine at 3 x 10(-5) to 3 x 10(-3) M did not significantly reverse the inhibitory effect of the PMN-derived factor. In conclusion, this study reveals that a heat-stable factor derived from human PMNs potently inhibits acetylcholine-induced endothelium-dependent relaxation but not sodium nitroprusside-induced endothelium-independent relaxation in rat aorta. This inhibitory effect is not caused by oxygen free radicals, a limitation of nitric oxide precursor or other unstable factors.en
