摘要

Aims In liver cirrhosis, inflammation triggers portal hypertension. Kupffer cells (KC) produce vasoconstrictors upon activation by bacterial constituents. Here, we hypothesize that the anti-inflammatory action of the cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) agonists JWH-133 and GP 1a attenuate portal hypertension. Main methods In vivo measurements of portal pressures and non-recirculating liver perfusions were performed in rats 4 weeks after bile duct ligation (BDL). Zymosan (150 μg/ml, isolated liver perfusion) or LPS (4 mg/kg b.w., in vivo) was infused to activate the KC in the absence or presence of JWH-133 (10 mg/kg b.w.), GP 1a (2.5 mg/kg b.w.) or ZnPP IX (1 μM). Isolated KC were treated with Zymosan (0.5 mg/ml) in addition to JWH-133 (5 μM). The thromboxane (TX) B2 levels in the perfusate and KC media were determined by ELISA. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and CB2 were analyzed by Western blot or confocal microscopy. Key findings JWH-133 or GP 1a pre-treatment attenuated portal pressures following KC activation in all experimental settings. In parallel, HO-1 expression increased with JWH-133 pre-treatment. However, the inhibition of HO-1 enhanced portal hypertension, indicating the functional role of this novel pathway. In isolated KC, the expression of CB2 and HO-1 increased with Zymosan, LPS and JWH-133 treatment while TXB2 production following KC activation was attenuated by JWH-133 pre-treatment. Significance JWH-133 or GP 1a treatment attenuates portal hypertension. HO-1 induction by JWH-133 plays a functional role. Therefore, the administration of JWH-133 or GP 1a represents a promising new treatment option for portal hypertension triggered by microbiological products.
