We investigated the effects of the calcium-channel blocker verapamil hydrochloride on the production of cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC) following reperfusion injury in rat liver. Ischemia was induced for 30 min by portal vein occlusion. Animals were pretreated with intravenous injection of verapamil hydrochloride (2.5 mg/kg) 5 min before vascular clamp. Verapamil hydrochloride limited increases in the chemoattractant compared with nonpretreated rats. Most cells immunostained for chemoattractant were ED2-positive macrophages in sinusoids. In vitro chemoattractant production by Kupffer cells isolated from animals pretreated with verapamil hydrochloride was significantly lower than by Kupffer cells from nonpretreated animals. Expression of transcripts in liver for chemoattractant peaked 3 hr after reperfusion in nonpretreated animals, while pretreatment with verapamil hydrochloride significantly decreased chemoattractant mRNA levels. In vitro chemoattractant production could be induced in naive Kupffer cells after stimulation with oxygen radicals generated by hypoxanthine and xanthine oxidase, but verapamil hydrochloride prevented these increases. We concluded that the calcium-channel blocker verapamil hydrochloride significantly attenuates chemoattractant release by Kupffer cells after ischemia-reperfusion in the rat liver.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
