Coronary response to diadenosine tetraphosphate after ischemia-reperfusion in the isolated rat heart.
    European journal of pharmacology, 2011, Jun-25, Volume: 660, Issue:2-3

    Diadenosine tetraphosphate (AP4A) is a vasoactive mediator that may be released from platelet granules and that may reach higher plasma concentrations during coronary ischemia-reperfusion. The objective of this study was to analyze its coronary effects in such conditions. To this, rat hearts were perfused in a Langendorff preparation and the coronary response to Ap4A (10(-7)-10(-5) M) was recorded. In control hearts, Ap4A produced concentration-dependent vasodilatation both at the basal coronary resting tone and after precontracting coronary vasculature with 11-dideoxy-1a,9a-epoxymethanoprostaglandin F2α (U46619), and this vasodilatation was reduced by reactive blue 2 (2×10(-6) M), glibenclamide (10(-5) M), H89 (10(-6) M), U73122 (5×10(-6) M) and endothelin-1 (10(-9) M), but not by L-NAME (10(-4) M), isatin (10(-4) M), GF109203x (5×10(-7) M), or wortmannin (5×10(-7) M). After ischemia-reperfusion, the vasodilatation to Ap4A diminished, both in hearts with basal or increased vascular tone, and in this case the relaxation to Ap4A was not modified by reactive blue 2, L-NAME, glibenclamide, isatin, H89, GF109203x or wortmannin, although it was reduced by U73122 and endothelin-1. UTP produced coronary relaxation that was also reduced after ischemia-reperfusion. These results suggest that the coronary relaxation to Ap4A is reduced after ischemia-reperfusion, and that this reduction may be due to impaired effects of KATP channels and to reduced response of purinergic P2Y receptors.

Diadenosine polyphosphates directly relax porcine coronary arterial smooth muscle.
    The Journal of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics, 1997, Volume: 283, Issue:2

    By use of front-surface fluorometry and fura-2-loaded medial strips of the porcine coronary artery, cytosolic Ca++ concentration ([Ca++]i) and force development were monitored simultaneously to determine the mechanisms of vasorelaxation induced by the diadenosine polyphosphates (APnA) diadenosine 5',5'''-P1, P4-tetraphosphate (AP4A) and diadenosine 5',5'''-P1,P5-pentaphosphate (AP5A). APnA concentration-dependently inhibited the sustained elevations of [Ca++]i and force induced by U-46619, a thromboxane A2 analog, in the presence of extracellular Ca++. APnA shifted the [Ca++]i-force relation curves of contractions induced by various concentrations of high K+ to the right. The AP4A-induced decreases in [Ca++]i and force were largely attenuated by tetrabutylammonium. The AP4A-induced decreases in force were attenuated by 4-aminopyridine and charybdotoxin. The AP5A-induced decreases in [Ca++]i and force were attenuated by tetrabutylammonium, 4-aminopyridine and charybdotoxin. In the absence of extracellular Ca++, APnA did not inhibit the transient elevations of [Ca++]i induced by histamine or caffeine. Both AP4A and AP5A increased intracellular cAMP content. We thus conclude that AP4A and AP5A relax the porcine coronary artery by decreasing [Ca++]i, possibly through the activation of K+ channels, but not through inhibition of intracellular Ca++ release and by decreasing the Ca++ sensitivity of the contractile machinery. These effects were considered to be mediated by cAMP.
