Growth hormone-releasing hormone antagonists counteract hydrogen peroxide - induced paracellular hyperpermeability in endothelial cells.
Growth Hormone & IGF Research 2023 May 19
Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH) is a hypothalamic peptide which regulates the release of Growth Hormone from the anterior pituitary gland, and has been involved in inflammatory processes. On the other hand, GHRH antagonists (GHRHAnt) were developed to counteract those effects. Herein we demonstrate for the first time that GHRHAnt can suppress hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) - induced paracellular hyperpermeability in bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells. Increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and barrier dysfunction have been associated with the development of potentially lethal disorders, including sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Our study supports the protective actions of GHRHAnt in the impaired endothelium, and suggests that those compounds represent an exciting therapeutic possibility towards lung inflammatory disease.
