Protective effect of ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl aminopropyl)urea dihydrochloride (EDU) against LPS-induced death in mice Free

Abstract

Evaluation of anti-adhesive gels and bioresorbable films in animal models of intra-abdominal infection has shown that a product of the cross-linking reaction between hyaluronic acid (HA) and CM-cellulose, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl aminopropyl)urea dihydrochloride (EDU), has immunomodulatory properties. The effects of EDU were evaluated by using an endotoxin-induced shock mouse model. Pre-treatment of mice with EDU (50 mg kg) in DMSO resulted in a significant reduction in mortality following injection of LPS, compared to vehicle (DMSO) pre-treatment alone. Serum levels of TNF-α, IL1β and IFN-γ in EDU-treated mice were significantly lower than those in vehicle-treated mice. Nitric oxide (NO) concentrations in the sera of mice after inoculation with LPS were significantly lower in the EDU-treated group than in the vehicle-treated group at various time-points. In contrast, EDU pre-treatment was associated with an enhanced IL10 response after LPS injection, compared to vehicle pre-treatment alone. studies revealed that IL10 production by RAW 264.7 macrophages, elicited by LPS, was increased significantly when EDU was added to the culture medium. These results suggest that the protective effect of EDU during LPS-induced shock in mice is the result of inhibition of proinflammatory cytokines and NO production and an enhanced IL10 response.
