N2 - Ileus is caused by the initiation of a complex cascade of molecular and cellular inflammatory responses within the intestinal muscularis, which might be species specific. Our objective was to investigate a possible immunological divergence in the mechanisms of postoperative- and endotoxin-induced ileus in C57BL/6 mice and Sprague-Dawley rats. Gastrointestinal transit (GIT) was measured at 24. h after the injurious stimulus. MPO-staining and F4/80 immunohistochemistry were used to quantify polymorphonuclear and monocyte infiltration of jejunal muscularis whole-mounts, and intestinal muscularis MCP-1, ICAM-1 and iNOS gene expression was assessed by RT-PCR. Intestinal muscularis subjected to in vivo surgical manipulation (SM) or LPS treatment was cultured for 24. h, and the liberation of nitric oxide and chemokines/cytokines into the culture medium was analyzed by Griess reaction and Luminex multiplex assay. Intestinal SM and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (15. mg/kg) caused a significant delay in gastrointestinal transit, which was more severe in mice compared to rats in both injury models. Both SM- and LPS-triggered neutrophil and monocytic extravasation into the rat jejunal muscularis exceeded the cellular infiltration seen in mice. These results correlated with significantly greater increases in rat muscularis MCP-1 (syn. CCL2), ICAM-1 and iNOS message with more subsequent NO production after SM or LPS compared to mouse. The cultured muscularis obtained from SM mice released significantly more inflammatory proteins such as TNF-α, IL-1-α, IL-4 and GM-CSF compared to the manipulated rat muscularis. In contrast, LPS initiated the secretion of significantly more IL-1β by the inflamed rat muscularis compared to the mouse, but GM-CSF (syn. CSF2) liberation from mouse muscularis was markedly higher compared to LPS-treated rat muscularis. The data indicate that mechanistically the development of ileus in rat is mediated predominately through a leukocytic pathway consisting of chemotaxis, cellular extravasation and NO liberation. Whereas, the more intense mouse ileus evolves via a potent but injury-specific local cytokine response.
