We examined the effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines on endothelial function.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Methods and Results<\/jats:italic>\n                    Subjects lay with one hand placed on an angled support. The diameter of a vein was recorded by measuring the linear displacement of a probe placed on the skin overlying the vein when the pressure in a congesting cuff placed around the upper arm was deflated from 40 to 0 mm Hg. A length of the vein was isolated by two wedges. TNF-\u03b1 (1 ng), IL-1\u03b2 (1 ng), or IL-6 (100 pg) were instilled for 1 hour, either individually or together. At the end of the hour, the wedges were removed and the vein reconnected with the circulation. Dose-response curves (bradykinin: 2, 4, and 8 pmol\/min; arachidonic acid: 0.2, 2, and 20 nmol\/min; and glyceryl trinitrate 1, 2, and 4 pmol\/min) were constructed before and 1, 6, 24, and 48 hours after instillation. In another study, hydrocortisone (100 mg) was given 2 hours before the study. In a different study, subjects were given oral aspirin (75 mg or 1 g) 2 hours before the study. TNF-\u03b1 and IL-1\u03b2 alone but not IL-6 attenuated the dilatation to bradykinin and arachidonic acid; the response was greatest at 1 hour with recovery occurring by 6 hours. Combination of IL-1\u03b2 and TNF-\u03b1 prolonged the endothelial dysfunction, resulting in recovery at 24 hours. Hydrocortisone and high-dose aspirin prevented endothelial dysfunction.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n                    The results demonstrate that pro-inflammatory cytokines induce transient and reversible endothelial dysfunction and indicate that cyclooxygenase activity may contribute to the genesis of the effect. If other vessels behave similarly, this may provide further insight into the mechanisms precipitating acute cardiovascular events after inflammatory disorders.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/01.cir.96.9.3042","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,11]],"date-time":"2012-06-11T20:41:02Z","timestamp":1339447262000},"page":"3042-3047","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":303,"title":["Inflammatory Cytokines Impair Endothelium-Dependent Dilatation in Human Veins In Vivo"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"96","author":[{"given":"Kiran","family":"Bhagat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Centre for Clinical Pharmacology, Cruciform Project for Strategic Medical Research and Department of Medicine, University College London (UK)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patrick","family":"Vallance","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Centre for Clinical Pharmacology, Cruciform Project for Strategic Medical Research and Department of Medicine, University College London (UK)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199007053230106"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/288373a0"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199404143301511"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-8703(95)90154-X"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004872-199209000-00017"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1172\/JCI116149"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0140-6736(92)92621-L"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199408183310701"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","unstructured":"Nieminen MS Mattila K Valtonen V.
