The role of prostaglandins and nitric oxide (NO), generated after peripheral lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration, in the adaptation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis under stressful circumstances remains to be elucidated. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of chronic repetitive restraint or social crowding stress on the involvememt of nitric oxide and prostaglandins in the LPS-induced pituitary-adrenocortical response. Male Wistar rats were restrained in metal tubes 2x10 min/day or crowded in cages for 7 days prior to treatment. All compounds were injected i.p., cyclooxygenase (COX) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors 15 min before LPS. Two hrs after injection LPS induced a significant increase in ACTH and corticosterone secretion. Repeated restraint impaired more potently than crowding stress the LPS-induced HPA-response. Indomethacin, a non-selective COX inhibitor, considerably reduced the LPS-induced HPA response in non-stressed rats and to a lesser extent diminished this response in repeatedly restrained or crowded rats. Neuronal NOS inhibitor, Nw-nitro-L-arginine decreased the LPS-induced HPA response, more potently in control than crowded rats. Aminoguanidine, an iNOS inhibitor, diminished the LPS-elicited ACTH response in crowded rats. These results indicate that prostaglandins and NO generated by neuronal and inducible NOS are involved in the LPS-induced HPA axis response under basal conditions and during its adaptation to chronic social stress circumstances.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the contribution of prostaglandins (PGs) synthesized by constitutive (COX-1) and inducible (COX-2) cyclooxygenase to stimulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis by adrenergic receptor agonists in rats under social crowing stress 3 days, (21 per a cage for 6) animals. The effects of phenylephrine, clonidine and isoprenaline, an alpha1-, alpha2- and ß-adrenergic agonist, respectively, in the presence and absence of COX-1 inhibitor, piroxicam, and COX-2 inhibitor, compound NS-398, on ACTH and corticosterone secretion in stressed rats were compared with these effects in non-stressed animals. All drugs were given intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.), COX inhibitors 15 min before adrenergic agonists. Piroxicam (0.02 µg) and NS-398 (0.1 µg) significantly reduced the phenylephrine (30 µg) -induced ACTH and corticosterone secretion in both stressed and non-stressed rats. Piroxicam (0.02 µg) and NS-398 (0.01 µg) moderately decreased the clonidine (10 µg) -evoked hormone responses in control rats but did not alter these responses in stressed rats. Piroxicam (0.2 µg) and NS-398 (0.1µg) moderately diminished the isoprenaline (20 µg)-evoked ACTH and corticosterone response in control rats, while in stressed rats these inhibitors did not significantly alter the isoprenaline-induced rise in ACTH and corticosterone secretion. These results indicate that in hypothalamic structures involved in the regulation of adrenergic agonists-induced HPA stimulation COX-2 is expressed under physiological synaptic activity. Social crowding stress does not alter the significant involvement of prostaglandins in the HPA response induced by stimulation of central alpha1-adrenergic receptors. Prostaglandins are of lesser importance in activation of the HPA axis by alpha2-and ß-adrenergic receptors under basal and social stress conditions.

We investigated the role of interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß) and prostaglandins (PG) in the 1-adrenergic agonist, phenylephrine-induced hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) responses under basal and social stress conditions. Male Wistar rats, either control or exposed to crowding stress for 7 days prior to treatment, were used in these experiments. All compounds were injected i.p. Cyclooxygenase COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitors, piroxicam and compound NS-398, IL-1ß and IL-1ß receptor antagonist (IL-1ßRA) were injected 15 min before phenylephrine. Plasma ACTH and serum corticosterone levels were measured 1 h after phenylephrine or IL-1ß injection. Phenylephrine, in respective higher dose administered systemically (0.4 mg/kg i.p.) was almost equally effective as given i.c.v. (30 µg) in stimulating ACTH and corticosterone secretion. Likewise, the extent of the involvement of PG generated by COX-1 and COX-2 in the phenylephrine-induced ACTH and corticosterone secretion was similar after systemic or i.c.v. treatment under both resting and stress conditions. Piroxicam, stronger than compound NS-398, reduced the i.p. phenylephrine-induced ACTH and corticosterone secretion. IL-1ß receptor antagonist (50 µg/kg i.p.) did not significantly affect the inhibitory action of piroxicam on the i.p. phenylephrine-induced ACTH and corticosterone secretion in control rats, but significantly enhanced the inhibition evoked by piroxicam in stressed rats. IL-1ß (2.5 µg/kg i.p.) significantly increased ACTH and corticosterone secretion under basal conditions. Crowding stress for 7 days markedly impaired the IL-1ß-induced ACTH and corticosterone secretion. The mechanism of the stimulatory action of i.p. IL-1ß, which does not cross the blood-brain barrier, may comprise both central and peripheral components of the HPA axis. These results suggest that under basal conditions IL-1ß is not markedly involved in the 1-adrenergic agonist-induced stimulation of the HPA axis activity. During social crowding stress IL-1ß and prostaglandins are significantly involved in this stimulation.

The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of social crowding stress and significance of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandins (PG) generated by constitutive and inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX) in the stimulation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis by cholinergic muscarinic receptor agonist carbachol. Inhibitors of neuronal NOS (nNOS) L-NNA, general NOS L-NAME and inducible NOS (iNOS) aminoguanidine, as well as inhibitors of COX-1, piroxicam, and COX-2, compound NS-398 were administered 15 min prior to carbachol to control or crowded rats (24 rats in cage for 7, during 3 and 7 days). In stressed rats L-NAME, L-NNA and aminoguanidine significantly intensified the carbachol-induced ACTH and corticosterone secretion, like in control rats. Piroxicam, markedly decreased the carbachol-induced ACTH and corticosterone response under either basal or stress conditions. Compound NS-398 did not markedly alter the carbachol-induced HPA response in control and stressed rats. Crowding stress (3 days) significantly impaired the i.c.v. prostaglandin E2-induced ACTH response. Corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) receptor antagonists, alpha-helical CRH [9-14], given i.c.v. did not alter the PGE2-evoked corticosterone response in either control or stressed rats, indicating that hypothalamic CRH is not involved in the PGE2-induced central stimulation of HPA axis. In control rats L-NAME considerably enhanced, while L-arginine, a physiological NOS substrate, abolished the PGE2-induced ACTH and corticosterone response. In stressed rats this NOS blocker significantly increased and L-Arg reduced the stimulatory effect of PGE2 on ACTH and corticosterone secretion. The carbachol-induced corticosterone response was significantly increased by pretreatment with nNOS inhibitor L-NNA and was considerably reduced by indomethacin, a general COX inhibitor. Pretreatment with both antagonists left the carbachol-induced corticosterone level unchanged, suggesting an independent and reciprocal effect of NO and PG in the cholinergic stimulation of pituitary-adrenocortical response. These results indicate that in the stimulatory action of muscarinic agonist, carbachol, NO is an inhibitory transmitter under basal and crowding stress conditions. This psychosocial stress does not functionally affect the NOS/NO systems. Prostaglandins are involved in the cholinergic muscarinic-induced stimulation of HPA response to a significant extent in non-stressed rats. PGE2 may be involved in the carbachol-elicited HPA response under basal and stress conditions. Prostaglandins released in response to muscarinic stimulation did not evoke the hypothalamic CRH mediation. NO significantly impairs and PG stimulates the carbachol-induced HPA response in rats under basal and social stress conditions.
