Objective: To study the effect of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) on the pathogenesis of septic shock.

Methods: Confluent endothelial cells were disintegrated and centrifugated to obtain cell lysates after being treated with LPS or PKG activator 8-Br-cGMP. PKG activity of lysates was measured with radioactive isotope label method in a reaction system of phosphorylation of specific substrate H2B by PKG, and the shape and the distribution of intracellular filamentous actin were detected by specific fluorescence staining.
