Role of pressor prostanoids in rats with angiotensin II-salt-induced hypertension.
    Hypertension (Dallas, Tex. : 1979), 1988, Volume: 11, Issue:6 Pt 2

    This study was designed to assess the contribution of thromboxane A2 to high blood pressure in rats with angiotensin II (Ang II)-salt hypertension. Hypertension was induced in rats drinking 0.15 M NaCl by infusion of Ang II (125 ng/min i.p.) for 12 days. Relative to values in water-drinking rats without Ang II infusion, Ang II-salt hypertensive rats exhibited augmentation (p less than 0.05) of blood pressure (from 129 +/- 3 to 217 +/- 12 mm Hg), urinary thromboxane B2 excretion (from 5.4 +/- 0.9 to 25.4 +/- 2.1 ng/day), and thromboxane B2 release from renal cortex slices (from 71.3 +/- 6.7 to 121.1 +/- 14.4 pg/mg) and aortic rings (from 28.8 +/- 2.9 to 115.8 +/- 12.8 pg/mg). Treatment with an inhibitor of thromboxane A2 synthetase, UK 38485, had no effect on blood pressure in normotensive and Ang II-salt hypertensive rats. Treatment with a thromboxane A2 receptor blocker, SQ 29548, decreased blood pressure in Ang II-salt hypertensive rats from 191 +/- 9 to 152 +/- 9 mm Hg after 3 hours, but it had no effect on blood pressure in normotensive rats. Since SQ 29548 interfered with the pressor effects of the prostaglandin endoperoxide analogue U-46619, prostaglandin F2 alpha, and 9 alpha,11 beta-prostaglandin F2, we suggest that the SQ 29548-induced blood pressure reduction in Ang II-salt hypertensive rats is the manifestation of blockade of the vascular actions of one or more endogenous prostanoids including thromboxane A2 and prostaglandin endoperoxides. If so, pressor prostanoids may be contributory factors in the pathogenesis of severe Ang II-salt hypertension in rats.

Prostaglandin and thromboxane formation in glomeruli from rats with reduced renal mass.
    Nephron, 1986, Volume: 42, Issue:3

    In vitro formation of prostaglandins (PG) E2, F2 alpha, 6-keto-F1 alpha, and thromboxane B2 (TxB2) by glomeruli from rats with reduced renal mass (RRM) were evaluated by radioimmunoassay. Four weeks following ablation of renal mass, PGE2, PGF2 alpha, and TxB2 production by glomeruli from RRM rats was significantly greater, when compared with glomerular PG and TxB2 production of sham-operated control (C) rats. The effect of cyclooxygenase inhibition with indomethacin and the selective inhibition of thromboxane formation with UK 38485 on glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was investigated in experiments in vivo. In RRM rats indomethacin reduced GFR from 212 +/- 17 to 138 +/- 14 microliter/100 g/body weight (p less than 0.05) without effect on C rats. Thromboxane synthesis inhibition with UK 38485, however, increased GFR significantly in RRM rats (221 +/- 26 to 303 +/- 21; p less than 0.05). The data suggest that vasodilatory PGs and TxB2 modulate GFR in rats with ablation of renal mass.

Formation of prostanoids in human umbilical vessels perfused in vitro.
    Prostaglandins, 1986, Volume: 31, Issue:4

    Four major prostanoids (6-keto-PGF1 alpha, PGE2, PGF2 alpha and TXB2) were measured by specific radioimmunoassays in the outputs from human umbilical vessels perfused in vitro. As evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) only few blood platelets were attached to the vessel wall. After an initial flush with decreasing concentrations of all four prostanoids, a stable stage was reached, lasting for 4-5 hours. During this stage the production could be inhibited by indomethacin and only slightly stimulated with arachidonic acid. The TXA2 synthetase inhibitor UK 38485 depressed the TXB2 production, while only slightly affecting the other three prostanoids at very high concentrations. The arteries produced relatively more 6-keto-PGF1 alpha than did the vein.

Vascular prostaglandin and thromboxane production in a canine model of myocardial ischemia.
    Circulation research, 1985, Volume: 57, Issue:2

    Whereas numerous studies have investigated the role of prostacyclin and thromboxane A2 in the maintenance of coronary blood flow, most of these have focused on normal vessels. In the present investigation, we examined the prostaglandin- and thromboxane-synthesizing capacity of isolated coronary artery segments obtained from the site of a critical coronary artery stenosis. Cyclic flow variations were produced by placing a hard cylindrical constrictor on the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery in open-chest, anesthetized dogs. Cyclic flow variations are characterized by progressive declines in coronary blood flow, interrupted by sudden spontaneous restorations of flow. After cyclic flow variations had been induced, the hearts were removed, and the left anterior descending and circumflex coronary arteries were dissected. The vessels were cut into segments and incubated in the presence of increasing concentrations of arachidonic acid (10(-4)-10(-6) M). The synthesis of prostaglandin E2, thromboxane B2, and 6-keto prostaglandin F1 alpha by the coronary segments was measured by radioimmunoassay. When incubated in the presence of 10(-5) M arachidonic acid, coronary artery segments obtained from the left anterior descending coronary artery undergoing cyclic flow variations produced substantially more thromboxane B2 (142 +/- 27 vs. 29 +/- 3 pg/mg P less than 0.01) and less 6-keto prostaglandin F1alpha (125 +/- 12 vs. 350 +/- 30 pg/mg, P less than 0.01) than control circumflex coronary artery segments. Circumflex coronary vessels in which the endothelium was removed ex vivo produced 6-keto prostaglandin F1alpha levels comparable to those found in the left anterior descending coronary artery (147 +/- 17 pg/mg), but did not synthesize thromboxane B2 (23 +/- 2.6 pg/mg).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
