Remifentanil significantly represses cell immune responses and influences neutrophil migration through endothelial cell monolayers. The present study determines the beneficial effects of remifentanil and the mechanisms by which it attenuates lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI). Rats were intratracheally instilled with 2 mg/kg LPS to induce ALI. Results showed that remifentanil could resolve lung injury, as evidenced by remarkable decreases in lung edema (wet-to-dry weight ratio), neutrophil infiltration (myeloperoxidase activity), and pulmonary permeability [total number of cells and protein concentrations in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF)]. Remifentanil also attenuated the concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-1β, and interleukin-6 in BALF, as well as effectively repressed the activation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB), which has been associated with the inhibition of IκBα degradation.These results suggest that remifentanil may be a suitable treatment for LPS-induced ALI. Remifentanil exerts beneficial effects on the inhibition of proinflammatory cytokine production by downregulating the NF-κB pathway.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008070 Lipopolysaccharides Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Lipopolysaccharide,Lipoglycans

D000077208 Remifentanil A piperidine-propionate derivative and opioid analgesic structurally related to FENTANYL. It functions as a short-acting MU OPIOID RECEPTOR agonist, and is used as an analgesic during induction or maintenance of general anesthesia, following surgery, during childbirth, and in mechanically ventilated patients under intensive care. 3-(4-Methoxycarbonyl-4-((1-oxopropyl)phenylamino)-1-piperidine)propanoic Acid Methyl Ester,GI 87084B,GI-87084B,GI87084B,Remifentanil Hydrochloride,Remifentanil Monohydrochloride,Ultiva
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
