  Effects of dimethyl sulfoxide, pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate, and methylprednisolone on nuclear factor-kappaB and heat shock protein 70 in a rat model of hemorrhagic shock.

  Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) is a transcription factor involved in the inflammatory response. Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is involved in the cell protection from various stresses. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), and methylprednisolone (MP) on liver, renal, and intestinal activation of NF-kappaB and HSP70 in a rat model of hemorrhagic shock (HS). ⋯ Our results suggest that treatment with DMSO, PDTC, and MP can modulate the expression of NF-kappaB and HSP70 after HS in rats. This modulation may have potential effects in HS through inhibition of the NF-kappaB-dependent production of proinflammatory mediators.
