摘要
Inflammatory fluid secretion by the gallbladder mucosa in experimental cholecystitis is induced by activation of cyclooxygenase, which leads to an increase in prostaglandin formation. Cyclooxygenase exists as a constitutive (cyclooxygenase-1) and an inducible (cyclooxygenase-2) isoform. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the role of cyclooxygenase-2 in inflammatory fluid secretion of the feline gallbladder. Experiments were performed 10 weeks after a surgical procedure in which chronic cholecystitis was induced in cats by ligation of the cystic duct and implantation of a gallstone in the gallbladder. Gallbladder fluid transport was continuously monitored via a perfusion system. In inflamed gallbladders the continuous fluid secretion was reversed to absorption by intravenous injection of the selective cyclooxygenase-2 blocker, NS 398 (P <0.001). Increased levels of the inducible cyclooxygenase-2 were shown by immunoblotting in inflamed gallbladders. Selective pharmacologic blockade of cyclooxygenase-2 reduced the prostaglandin E2 release to the inflamed gallbladder lumen (P <0.01). These data suggest that cyclooxygenase-2 is involved in the inflammatory response during chronic cholecystitis. Selective cyclooxygenase-2 blockers may offer an alternative to traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with fewer side effects in patients with cholecystitis who are awaiting operation.
