A low dose of angiotensin II increases inotropism through activation of reverse Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange by endothelin release. Cardiovascular research, 2003, Dec-01, Volume: 60, Issue:3 This work was aimed to prove that release/formation of endogenous endothelin acting in an autocrine/paracrine fashion contributes to the increase in contractility promoted by a low dose of angiotensin II.. Isolated cat papillary muscles were used for force, pH(i), [Na(+)](i) and [Ca(2+)](i) measurements and isolated cat myocytes for patch-clamp experiments.. In papillary muscles, 1.0 nmol/l angiotensin II increased force by 23+/-2% (n=4, P<0.05), [Na(+)](i) by 2.2+/-0.2 mmol/l (n=4, P<0.05), and peak (but not diastolic) Ca(2+) from 0.674+/-0.11 to 0.768+/-0.13 micromol/l (n=4, P<0.05), without affecting pH(i). Force and [Na(+)](i) increase were abolished by inhibition of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE) with the inhibitor HOE642, blockade of endothelin receptors with the nonselective antagonist TAK044 and by inhibition of the endothelin-converting enzyme with phosphoramidon. Force but not [Na(+)](i) increase was abolished by inhibition of reverse Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange (NCX) with the inhibitor KB-R7943. Similar increase in force (21+/-2%, n=4, P<0.05) and in [Na(+)](i) (2.4+/-0.4 mmol/l, n=4, P<0.05) that were also suppressed by TAK044 and HOE642 were induced by exogenous 5.0 nmol/l endothelin-1. KB-R7943 reverted the endothelin-1 effect on force but not on [Na(+)](i). In isolated myocytes, exogenous endothelin-1 dose-dependently increased the NCX current and shifted the NCX reversal potential (E(NCX)) to a more negative value (DeltaE(NCX): -10+/-3 and -17+/-5 mV, with 1 and 10 nmol/l endothelin-1, respectively, n=12). The latter effect was prevented by HOE642.. Taken together, the results indicate that a low dose of angiotensin II induces release of endothelin, which, in autocrine/paracrine fashion activates the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger, increases [Na(+)](i) and changes E(NCX), promoting the influx of Ca(2+) that leads to a positive inotropic effect (PIE).
