We investigated the role of central corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) in the development of cardiovascular and thermal responses induced by stress or by interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) in free-moving rats. Intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of alpha-helical CRF9-41 (10 micrograms), a CRF receptor antagonist, significantly attenuated hypertension, tachycardia, and a rise in body temperature induced by cage-switch stress, a mild stress. However, icv injection of alpha-helical CRF9-41 (10 micrograms) had no effect on hypertension, tachycardia, or fever induced by intraperitoneal (ip) injection of IL-1 beta (2 micrograms/kg) or icv prostaglandin E2 (PGE2, 100 ng). In contrast, icv injection of alpha-helical CRF9-41 (10 micrograms) significantly attenuated hypertension, tachycardia, or fever induced by icv injection of IL-1 beta (20 ng). The present results suggest that central CRF has an important role in the development of the cage-switch stress-induced responses, but it does not seem to contribute to the hypertension, tachycardia, and fever induced by ip IL-1 beta or by central PGE2. However, it is possible that when IL-1 beta directly acts on the central nervous system, some of its actions are mediated by central CRF.
