Hemoglobin, NO, and 20-HETE interactions in mediating cerebral vasoconstriction following SAH.
    American journal of physiology. Regulatory, integrative and comparative physiology, 2006, Volume: 290, Issue:1

    Recent studies have indicated that 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) contributes to the fall in cerebral blood flow (CBF) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), but the factors that stimulate the production of 20-HETE are unknown. This study examines the role of vasoactive factors released by clotting blood vs. the scavenging of nitric oxide (NO) by hemoglobin (Hb) in the fall in CBF after SAH. Intracisternal (icv) injection of blood produced a greater and more prolonged (120 vs. 30 min) decrease in CBF than that produced by a 4% solution of Hb. Pretreating rats with N(omega)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME; 10 mg/kg iv) to block the synthesis of NO had no effect on the fall in CBF produced by an icv injection of blood. l-NAME enhanced rather than attenuated the fall in CBF produced by an icv injection of Hb. Blockade of the synthesis of 20-HETE with TS-011 (0.1 mg/kg iv) prevented the sustained fall in CBF produced by an icv injection of blood and the transient vasoconstrictor response to Hb. Hb (0.1%) reduced the diameter of the basilar artery (BA) of rats in vitro by 10 +/- 2%. This response was reversed by TS-011 (100 nM). Pretreatment of vessels with l-NAME (300 muM) reduced the diameter of BA and blocked the subsequent vasoconstrictor response to the addition of Hb to the bath. TS-011 returned the diameter of vessels exposed to l-NAME and Hb to that of control. These results suggest that the fall in CBF after SAH is largely due to the release of vasoactive factors by clotting blood rather than the scavenging of NO by Hb and that 20-HETE contributes the vasoconstrictor response of cerebral vessels to both Hb and blood.

Reversal of delayed vasospasm by an inhibitor of the synthesis of 20-HETE.
    American journal of physiology. Heart and circulatory physiology, 2005, Volume: 289, Issue:5

    This study characterized the time course of changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) and vascular diameter in a dual-hemorrhage model of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in rats and examined whether acute blockade of the synthesis of 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) with N-(3-chloro-4-morpholin-4-yl)phenyl-N'-hydroxyimido formamide (TS-011) can reverse delayed vasospasm in this model. Rats received an intracisternal injection of blood (0.4 ml) on day 0 and a second injection 2 days later. CBF was sequentially measured using laser-Doppler flowmetry, and the diameters of the cerebral arteries were determined after filling the cerebral vasculature with a casting compound. CBF fell to 67% of control after the first intracisternal injection of blood but returned to a value near control 24 h later. CBF again fell to 63% of control after a second intracisternal injection of blood and remained 30% below control for 5 days. The fall in CBF after the second intracisternal injection of blood was associated with a sustained 30% reduction in the diameters of the middle cerebral, posterior communicating, and basilar arteries. Acute blockade of the synthesis of 20-HETE with TS-011 (0.1 mg/kg i.v.), 5 days after the second SAH, increased the diameters of the cerebral arteries, and CBF returned to control. These results indicate that the rats develop delayed vasospasm after induction of the dual-hemorrhage model of SAH and that blockade of the synthesis of 20-HETE fully reverses cerebral vasospasm in this model. They also implicate 20-HETE in the development and maintenance of delayed cerebral vasospasm.
