Right ventricular overloading is attenuated in monocrotaline-induced pulmonary hypertension model rats with a disrupted Gpr143 gene, the gene that encodes the 3,4-l-dihydroxyphenyalanine (l-DOPA) receptor.
    Journal of pharmacological sciences, 2022, Volume: 148, Issue:2

    Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a severe and progressive disease that causes elevated right ventricular systolic pressure, right ventricular hypertrophy and ultimately right heart failure. However, the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms are poorly understood. We previously showed that 3,4-l-dihydroxylphenyalanine (DOPA) sensitizes vasomotor response to sympathetic tone via coupling between the adrenergic receptor alpha1 (ADRA1) and a G protein-coupled receptor 143 (GPR143), a DOPA receptor. We investigated whether DOPA similarly enhances ADRA1-mediated contraction in pulmonary arteries isolated from rats, and whether GPR143 is involved in the PH pathogenesis. Pretreating the isolated pulmonary arteries with DOPA 1 μM enhanced vasoconstriction in response to phenylephrine, an ADRA1 agonist, but not to U-46619, a thromboxane A2 agonist or endothelin-1. We generated Gpr143 gene-deficient (Gpr143

Effect of testosterone on ex vivo vascular reactivity in man.
    Clinical science (London, England : 1979), 2006, Volume: 111, Issue:4

    Testosterone is reported to have an acute vasodilating action in vitro, an effect that may impart a favourable haemodynamic response in patients with chronic heart failure. However, the effect of chronic testosterone exposure on general vascular reactivity is poorly described. In the present study, fresh subcutaneous resistance arteries were obtained from patients with heart failure (n=10), healthy controls (n=9) and men with androgen-deficiency (n=17). All arteries were studied using a wire myograph to examine the effect of cumulative additions of testosterone (1 nmol/l-100 micromol/l) compared with vehicle control following maximal pre-constriction with KCl (1-100 micromol/l). The vascular reactivity of arteries from androgen-deficient patients was examined further by recording tension concentration curves to cumulative additions of noradrenaline (1 nmol/l-100 micromol/l) and U46619 (1-300 nmol/l), followed by relaxation concentration curves to additions of ACh (acetylcholine; 10 nmol/l-30 micromol/l) and SNP (sodium nitroprusside; 10 nmol-30 micromol/l) respectively. In all cases, statistical analysis was performed by ANOVA. Patients with proven androgen-deficiency were treated according to clinical recommendations for a minimum of 3 months and further arteries (n=19) were taken for experimentation using the same protocol. In all groups, testosterone was confirmed to be an acute concentration-dependent vasodilator at concentrations > or =1 micromol/l (P=0.0001). The dilating effect of testosterone was augmented in patients with androgen-deficiency prior to treatment, and this effect was abrogated following appropriate testosterone replacement. Testosterone therapy significantly reduced the normal vascular dilating response to ACh and SNP (P<0.01) and significantly increased the contractile response to noradrenaline (P<0.01), but not U46619. Testosterone is an acute dose-dependent vasodilator of resistance arteries. Physiological testosterone replacement attenuates general vascular reactivity in androgen-deficient subjects. The numerous perceived benefits of testosterone replacement may be offset by a decline in vascular reactivity and, therefore, further studies and careful monitoring of patients is recommended.

Chronic therapy with an ET(A/B) receptor antagonist in conscious dogs during progression of congestive heart failure. Intracellular Ca(2+) regulation and nitric oxide mediated coronary relaxation.
    Cardiovascular research, 2000, Volume: 48, Issue:2

    Although it is known that endothelin (ET-1) is elevated in heart failure (HF), it remains unclear if chronic ET(A/B) receptor antagonism affects the progression of HF, particularly by affecting coronary vasoactivity and left ventricular (LV) diastolic function.. We examined the effects of an ET(A/B) receptor antagonist, L-753,037 (oral bid for 6 weeks, n=7), and vehicle (n=8) in conscious dogs with previously implanted aortic, coronary sinus and left atrial catheters, LV pressure gauge, aortic flow probe, LV dimension crystals and pacers.. Baseline hemodynamics were similar in the two groups. During the development of rapid pacing-induced HF, treatment with the ET(A/B) antagonist significantly reduced total peripheral resistance and increased cardiac output compared to vehicle. After 2 weeks of pacing, LV diastolic function (tau) was improved (P<0.05) in the ET(A/B) antagonist group (+6+/-2 ms) compared to the vehicle group (+12+/-2 ms). In addition, ET(A/B) antagonist treatment attenuated the increase in mean left atrial pressure and LV end-diastolic pressure that occurred during heart failure in vehicle-treated animals. However, LV systolic function (LV dP/dt, fractional shortening and Vcfc) neither at rest nor in response to dobutamine was altered by ET(A/B) antagonist treatment. Also, ET(A/B) antagonist treatment did not affect the progressive increases in LV dimension. After 6 weeks of pacing, maximal Ca(2+) transport in isolated cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was reduced (P<0.02) in the vehicle-treated compared to the ET(A/B) antagonist-treated dogs (1.34+/-0.09 vs. 1.60+/-0.06 micromol/mg/min, respectively). The improvement in SR function in the ET(A/B) antagonist-treated dogs was associated with a significant attenuation of the reduction in protein expression of SERCA2a and calsequestrin observed in the vehicle-treated dogs. Coronary arteries isolated from the dogs treated with the ET(A/B) antagonist exhibited enhanced (P<0.01) coronary endothelium-dependent relaxation compared to the vehicle group, while coronary responses to an NO donor were identical in the two groups. Plasma NO levels in the coronary sinus during the late stage of HF were higher (P<0.05) in the ET(A/B) antagonist group (40+/-2 microM) compared to the vehicle group (18+/-2 microM).. We conclude that in conscious dogs during the development of HF induced by rapid pacing, chronic inhibition of ET(A/B) receptors does not affect resting myocardial contractile function nor reserve, but reduces vascular resistance and improves LV diastolic function. After 6 weeks of pacing, the reduction in intracellular Ca(2+) regulation by the SR is also attenuated, and endothelium-dependent coronary relaxation is improved, which appears to be related to the preservation of coronary NO levels.

Dilatory responses to acetylcholine, calcitonin gene-related peptide and substance P in the congestive heart failure rat.
    Acta physiologica Scandinavica, 1999, Volume: 165, Issue:1

    It was examined to what extent congestive heart failure (CHF) in rats, induced by ligation of the left coronary artery, affects the vascular responses to the vasodilatory substances acetylcholine (ACh), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and substance P (SP). After induction of CHF status, the basilar, mesenteric and renal arteries and the iliac vein were studied in vitro. Dilatory responses were determined in relation to pre-contraction by the thromboxane mimetic U46619. Sham-operated animals (Sham) served as controls. U46619 induced stronger contraction in CHF basilar and renal arteries compared with the corresponding segments in Sham. ACh induced concentration-dependent dilations in all vessels examined with no difference of maximum relaxation or potency between CHF and Sham. SP induced weak dilations in all arteries examined while the response was markedly attenuated in CHF iliac veins compared with Sham (Emax% 12.2 +/- 3.4 vs. 32.3 +/- 4.8, P = 0.01). The CGRP induced dilation in the CHF basilar artery was weaker (Emax% 18.6 +/- 6.5 vs. 66.9 +/- 5.0, P < 0.001) and less potent (pEC50: 8.2 +/- 0.2 vs. 9.0 +/- 0.2, P = 0.01) compared with Sham. Further, CGRP was less potent in the renal artery of CHF rats compared with Sham (pEC50: 8.1 +/- 0.2 vs. 9.5 +/- 0.3, P < 0.01). In the CHF iliac vein, CGRP was more potent compared with Sham (pEC50: 9.7 +/- 0.4 vs. 8.3 +/- 0.4, P < 0.05). It can be concluded CHF is accompanied by alterations in the vascular response to the dilatory substances studied. The changes differ between vascular beds and between the different substances.

Endothelial dysfunction in human intramyocardial small arteries in atherosclerosis and hypercholesterolemia.
    The American journal of physiology, 1998, Volume: 275, Issue:4

    Vascular responses of human intramyocardial small arteries were examined in vitro to assess the influence of atherosclerosis and risk factors for coronary artery disease on endothelium-dependent relaxation. Recipient hearts were obtained from patients with ischemic (n = 14) and nonischemic (n = 13) cardiomyopathy undergoing heart transplantation. Small intramyocardial coronary arteries (mean internal diameter 313 +/- 11 micrometers) were mounted on a wire myograph for measurement of morphology and isometric tension. Vasodilation was examined after preconstriction with U-46619, a thromboxane A2 analog. Endothelium-dependent relaxation to acetylcholine and bradykinin was impaired in patients with ischemic compared with nonischemic cardiomyopathy (P < 0.01 and P < 0.001, respectively). Endothelium-independent relaxation to sodium nitroprusside was preserved. Incubation with L-arginine (3 mmol/l) did not improve endothelium-dependent relaxation to acetylcholine or bradykinin. With the use of stepwise multivariate analysis, hypercholesterolemia, but no other risk factor for atherosclerosis, was independently associated with impaired endothelium-dependent relaxation to acetylcholine (r = -0.50, P = 0.05) but not to bradykinin. Endothelial dysfunction in intramyocardial small arteries may predispose patients with nonobstructive epicardial atherosclerosis and hypercholesterolemia to myocardial ischemia.

Altered neuropeptide Y Y1 responses in mesenteric arteries in rats with congestive heart failure.
    European journal of pharmacology, 1998, Nov-06, Volume: 360, Issue:2-3

    The aim of the present study was to elucidate if the potentiating effect of neuropeptide Y on various vasoactive agents in vitro is (1) altered in mesenteric arteries from rats with congestive heart failure and (2) mediated by the neuropeptide Y Y1 receptor. The direct vascular effects of neuropeptide Y and its modulating effects on the contractions induced by endothelin-1-, noradrenaline-, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)-, U46619-(9,11-dideoxy-11alpha, 9alpha-epoxymethano-prostaglandin F2alpha) and ATP, and acetylcholine-induced dilatations were studied in the presence and absence of the neuropeptide Y Y1 antagonist, BIBP3226 (BIBP3226¿(R)-N2-(diphenylacetyl)-N-[(4-hydroxyphenyl)methyl ]-D-arginine-amide¿). Neuropeptide Y, per se, had no vasoactive effect in the arteries. The potency of endothelin-1 was significantly decreased in congestive heart failure rats. Neuropeptide Y and neuropeptide Y-(13-36) potentiated the endothelin-1-induced contraction in congestive heart failure mesenteric arteries. In 20% of the congestive heart failure rats, sarafotoxin 6c induced a contraction of 31+/-4%. Neuropeptide Y also potentiated U46619- and noradrenaline-induced contractions but not 5-HT-induced contractions in congestive heart failure arteries. In sham-operated animals neuropeptide Y potentiated noradrenaline- and 5-HT-induced contractions. These potentiations were inhibited by BIBP3226. Acetylcholine induced an equipotent relaxation in both groups which was unaffected by neuropeptide Y. In conclusion, neuropeptide Y responses are altered in congestive heart failure rats. The potentiating effect differs between vasoactive substances. Neuropeptide Y Y1 and non-neuropeptide Y1 receptors are involved.
