The role of prostaglandin E and thromboxane-prostanoid receptors in the response to prostaglandin E2 in the aorta of Wistar Kyoto rats and spontaneously hypertensive rats.
    Cardiovascular research, 2008, Apr-01, Volume: 78, Issue:1

    The present study examined the hypothesis that prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) through activation of prostaglandin E (EP) receptor contributes to endothelium-dependent contractions.. Western blotting revealed that the protein expression of EP1 receptor was significantly down-regulated in the aorta of the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR), but there was no significant difference in the expression of EP2, EP4, and total EP3 receptors between preparations of Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) and SHR. Isometric tension studies showed that low concentrations of PGE2 caused endothelium-dependent relaxations in WKY but not in aortas of the SHR. High concentrations of PGE2 evoked contractions predominately through the activation of thromboxane-prostanoid (TP) receptors in the WKY, but involves the dual activation EP and TP receptors in the SHR. SQ29,548, BAYu3405 and Terutroban (TP receptor antagonists), and AH6809 (non-selective EP receptor antagonist) abolished, while SC19220 (preferential EP1 receptor antagonist) did not inhibit endothelium-dependent contractions. Both SC19220 and AH6809 significantly inhibited contractions to U46619 (TP receptor agonist).. The present study demonstrates that the contraction caused by PGE2 in the SHR aorta is dependent on the activation of EP1 and TP receptors, but that endothelium-dependent contractions do not require the former. Thus, PGE2 is unlikely to be an endothelium-derived contracting factor in this artery. The ability of AH6809 to inhibit endothelium-dependent contractions can be attributed to its partial antagonism at TP receptors. Nevertheless, the impairment of PGE2-mediated relaxation may contribute to endothelial dysfunction in the aorta of the SHR.

TP receptor as a therapeutic target in atherosclerosis and related cardiovascular diseases.
    Recent patents on cardiovascular drug discovery, 2006, Volume: 1, Issue:3

    It had already showed that several thromboxane A(2) receptor (TP receptor) antagonists might be utilized in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. In addition, recent reports suggested that TP receptor antagonism may be able to restrict vascular inflammation in atherosclerotic vessels. In particular, S18886 has been developed as a non-prostanoid TP receptor antagonist derived from sulotroban that is characterized by a tetrahydronaphthalene ring as a spacer between the 4-cholophenylsulfonamide group and carboxylic acid. Several reports using experimental animal models of atherosclerosis indicated that S18886 caused a regression of advanced atherosclerosis. More recently, several studies and patents showed that new thromboxane modulators combined with another pharmacological activities have been developed. Ohtake et al. discovered TRA-418 (a benzene-condensed heterocyclic derivative) having a TP receptor antagonistic activity and a prostaglandin I(2) receptor agonistic activity. Cesagrande found that 4-methyl-N- (4-trans-nitrooxycyclohexyl)-N-(3-pyridinylmethyl)-1,3- benzenedicarboxamide is endowed with anti-thromboxane and NO-donor actions. Oketani et al. discovered that E3040, a novel benzothiazole derivative, inhibited TXA(2) synthase and 5-LO activities. EK112, a combined angiotensin II and TP receptor antagonist, was developed. These new compounds may be able to restrict further infiltration of inflammatory cells in atherosclerotic vessels, thus stabilizing vulnerable plaques in the related cardiovascular diseases.
