We investigated the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the induction of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in muscularis resident macrophages of rat intestine in situ. When the tissue was incubated with LPS for 4 h, mRNA levels of iNOS and COX-2 were increased. The majority of iNOS and COX-2 proteins appeared to be localized to the dense network of muscularis resident macrophages immunoreactive to ED2. LPS treatment also increased the production of nitric oxide (NO), PGE2, and PGI2. The increased expression of iNOS mRNA by LPS was suppressed by indomethacin but not by NG-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA). The increased expression of COX-2 mRNA by LPS was affected neither by indomethacin nor by L-NMMA. Muscle contractility stimulated by 3 µM carbachol was significantly inhibited in the LPS-treated muscle, which was restored by treatment of the tissue with L-NMMA, aminoguanidine, indomethacin, or NS-398. Together, these findings show that LPS increases iNOS expression and stimulates NO production in muscularis resident macrophages to inhibit smooth muscle contraction. LPS-induced iNOS gene expression may be mediated by autocrine regulation of PGs through the induction of COX-2 gene expression.
