Olprinone, a Selective Phosphodiesterase III Inhibitor, Has Protective Effects in a Septic Rat Model after Partial Hepatectomy and Primary Rat Hepatocyte.

ABSTRACT: Olprinone (OLP) is a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase III and is used clinically in patients with heart failure and those undergoing cardiac surgery; however, little is known about the effects of OLP on hepatoprotection. The purpose of this study aimed to determine whether OLP has protective effects in in vivo and in vitro rat models of endotoxin-induced liver injury after hepatectomy and to clarify the mechanisms of action of OLP. In the in vivo model, rats underwent 70% partial hepatectomy and lipopolysaccharide treatment (PH/LPS). OLP administration increased survival by 85.7% and decreased tumor necrosis factor-α, C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA expression in the livers of rats treated with PH/LPS. OLP also suppressed nuclear tran
