BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of arginine supplementation on arginase activity, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) synthesis in cultured splenic macrophages from a murine model of intestinal obstruction (IO). The effects of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) inhibition were also studied using iNOS knockout animals.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Male C57BL6/J wild-type (WT) and iNOS knockout (iNOS-/-) mice were randomized into 6 groups: Sham and Sham-/- (standard chow), IO and IO-/- (standard chow + IO), and Arg and Arg-/- (standard chow supplemented with arginine + IO). After 7 days of treatment with standard or supplemented chow, IO was induced. Arginase activity as well as TNF-α and IL-10 levels were analyzed in splenic macrophage cultures.
RESULTS: Arginine supplementation and the absence of iNOS increased arginase activity in splenic macrophages (Arg, IO-/-, and Arg-/- groups vs the Sham group; P < .05). Arginine was also related to a decrease in TNF-α levels (Arg vs IO group, P < .05) and maintenance of IL-10 levels (Arg vs other groups, P > .05). The inhibition of iNOS did not result in effects on the concentration of cytokines (Sham-/-, IO-/-, and Arg-/- vs other, P < .05).
CONCLUSIONS: Arginine supplementation and iNOS inhibition led to increased arginase activity. Arginine availability decreased plasma TNF-α levels, which may be directly related to nitric oxide derived from arginine.
