OBJECTIVE: Cardiopulmonary bypass is associated with systemic inflammatory response syndrome and risk of multiorgan injury mediated by activated leukocytes. Phosphodiesterase type 4 is the predominant phosphodiesterase isozyme in leukocytes and plays a key role in the regulation of leukocyte activation. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of rolipram, a selective phosphodiesterase type 4 inhibitor, on functional changes of monocytes during simulated extracorporeal circulation.

METHODS AND RESULTS: Simulated extracorporeal circulation was established by recirculating heparinized human blood for 120 minutes on a membrane oxygenator with or without 10 µmol/L of rolipram. L-selectin and CD11b expression of monocytes were measured with flow cytometry. C4d fragment, Bb fragment, C5b-9, and interleukin-6 were measured with enzyme immunoassay. Rolipram reduced the increase in CD11b expression and the decrease in L-selectin expression of monocytes in response to simulated extracorporeal circulation. Rolipram inhibited the increase in C4d fragment and interleukin-6, but it did not affect the increase in Bb fragment or C5b-9.

CONCLUSION: Rolipram inhibited changes in adhesion molecule expression and interleukin-6 release by activated monocytes in simulated extracorporeal circulation. This study suggests that phosphodiesterase type 4 inhibition could be feasible therapeutic strategy to prevent exaggerated inflammatory response and organ injury in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass.
