Decreased intracellular Mg++ concentrations seem to be involved in the pathogenesis of primary hypertension. Of special interest is the smooth muscle cell with its electrolyte metabolism in primary hypertension, but also heart muscle cells and their Mg++ concentrations are of growing interest. Therefore, in aortic smooth muscle cells and striated heart muscle cells (left ventricle) from 20 spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) of the Münster strain and 20 normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY), the intracellular Mg++ content was measured. The electron probe x-ray microanalysis technique was used to determine intracellular Mg++ concentrations under nearly in vivo conditions in aortic cryosections 3 μm thick and striated heart muscle cells 4 μm thick (Camscan CS 24 apparatus). Vascular smooth muscle Mg++ content was 36.4 ± 3.1 mmol/kg dry weight in SHR versus 48.6 ± 3.7 mmol/kg dry weight in WKY (P < .001). In striated heart muscle cell Mg++ concentrations, there was no significant difference in SHR and WKY (79.9 ± 5.6 versus 80.3 ± 5.9 mmol/ kg dry weight). In conclusion, the present study revealed that genetic hypertension in the spontaneously hypertensive rat is accompanied by significantly decreased intracellular Mg++ concentrations in vascular smooth muscle cells. In striated heart muscle cells, Mg++ content was not significantly different in SHR and WKY. Mg++ handling is different in vascular smooth muscle and striated heart muscle cells in WKY and SHR (P < .01). 相似文献

Vascular medial thickening, a hallmark of hypertension, is associated with vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) hypertrophy and hyperplasia. Although the precise mechanisms responsible are elusive, we have shown that strain induced regulation of autocrine insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and nitric oxide (NO) reciprocally modulate VSMC proliferation. Therefore, we investigated potential IGF-1 and NO abnormalities in young (10-week-old) spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) and their respective VSMC ex vivo. The SHR had increased mean arterial pressure (173 ± 2 v 128 ± 3 mm Hg, n = 24, P < .05) but similar pulse pressures (31 ± 2 v 30 ± 3 mm Hg; P > .05) v WKY. The SHR exhibited increased aortic wall thickness in comparison with WKY (523 ± 16 v 355 ± 17μm; P < .05). No differences were seen in plasma combined NO2 and NO3 (NOx) (0.48 ± 0.11 mmol/L for WKY v 0.58 ± 0.18 mmol/L for SHR) or plasma IGF-1 (1007 ± 28 ng/mL for WKY v 953 ± 26 ng/mL for SHR). Aortic VSMC from SHR displayed enhanced proliferation in comparison with WKY (P < .05). Underlying this enhanced proliferation was altered SHR VSMC sensitivity to the antiproliferative NO donor 2,2"[Hydroxynitrosohydrazono] bis-ethanimine (DETA-NO) (ID50: 270 ± 20 mmol/L for SHR; 150 ± 11 mmol/L for WKY; P < .05). Basal cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) secretion from SHR VSMC was 65-fold greater than that seen from WKY (P < .001). In response to DETA-NO, cGMP secretion from SHR VSMC increased modestly (1.5-fold; P < .01), whereas treatment of WKY VSMC resulted in a 26-fold (P < .001) increase in cGMP. The SHR VSMC did not respond to exogenous IGF-1, whereas WKY VSMC exhibited a dose dependent increase in proliferation with IGF-1 (10−10 to 10−7 mol/L). These data suggest that VSMC hyperplasia in early hypertension is not reflected by imbalances in plasma IGF-1 or NO. Rather, altered SHR VSMC sensitivity to NO is likely responsible in part for the observed hyperproliferation seen in early stages of hypertension. 相似文献

Increased apoptosis has been demonstrated in various forms of human and experimental cardiovascular disease. The role of this phenomenon in the vasculature in different models of hypertension is unclear. In hypertension, regression of vessel wall hypertrophy/hyperplasia or remodeling in response to various antihypertensive drugs may be mediated in part by apoptosis. This study examined vascular smooth muscle apoptosis in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), in which it may presumably counterbalance vascular wall growth. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and calcium channel blockers induce regression of the vascular wall in hypertension. Therefore, we investigated the effect of the ACE inhibitor enalapril and the dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker amlodipine on apoptosis in blood vessels of SHR to determine whether part of the growth inhibitory effect of these drugs is mediated by apoptosis. This was performed by detection and measurement of DNA fragmentation using DNA laddering and examining aortic histologic sections with in situ end-labeling (terminal deoxynucleotide transferase-mediated dUTP-nick labeling [TUNEL]). Ten-week-old SHR were treated for 12 weeks with 10 mg/kg per day of enalapril and 20 mg/kg per day of amlodipine. Blood pressure was significantly reduced by enalapril and amlodipine (P < .01). Cross-sectional area of aorta was significantly increased (3.34 ± 0.15 mm2) in SHR compared to that of Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) control rats (1.17 ± 0.07 mm2, P < .01). The cross-sectional area of the aorta was significantly smaller in enalapril-treated SHR (2.42 ± 0.12 mm2, P < .05) compared to untreated SHR, and almost normalized by amlodipine (1.65 ± 0.31 mm2, P < .01). Apoptosis characterized using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase to radiolabel 3′-OH ends of fragmented DNA extracted from aorta, showed presence of fragmented labeled DNA as “DNA laddering,” a hallmark of apoptosis. SHR had increased apoptosis (341 ± 25 pixels/μg DNA) compared to WKY controls (206 ± 13 pixels/μg DNA, P < .01). Apoptosis was six- to eightfold greater in aorta of enalapril and amlodipine-treated SHR (P < .01). These results were confirmed by in situ end-labeling of fragmented DNA in aortic histologic sections. Western blot quantification of Bax and Bcl-2 (pro- and antiapoptotic gene products, respectively) showed higher Bax and lower Bcl-2 expression, and accordingly increased the Bax-to-Bcl-2 ratio in aorta from SHR treated with enalapril or amlodipine in comparison to untreated SHR. In conclusion, enhanced apoptosis is present in aorta of SHR, possibly as a homeostatic mechanism counterbalancing growth. Antihypertensive agents such as the ACE inhibitor enalapril and the calcium antagonist amlodipine may cause regression or inhibition of vascular wall growth in SHR partly through enhanced apoptosis, which may contribute to the antihypertensive effects of these drugs. 相似文献

A number of data suggest that angiotensin II-dependent activation of the protooncogene c-myc participates in the proliferative response of smooth muscle cells (SMC) of rats with spontaneous hypertension (SHR). We therefore investigated the effects of chronic treatment with the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor quinapril on the oncoprotein c-Myc and the proliferating cell nuclear antigen cyclin A in SMC of small intramyocardial arteries from the left ventricle of SHR. The expression of c-Myc and cyclin A was assessed by immunocytochemical analysis. The number of smooth muscle cells was assessed by morphometrical analysis. As compared to normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats, untreated SHR exhibited an increased percentages of cells expressing c-Myc (33% ± 4% v 19% ± 2%, mean ± SEM, P < .005) and cyclin A (25 ± 2 v 11% ± 1%, P < .001). In quinapril-treated SHR compared with untreated SHR, we found decreased expression of c-Myc (22% ± 2%, P < .005) and cyclin A (13% ± 1%, P < .001). No significant differences were found between WKY rats and quinapril-treated SHR in the above parameters. Cyclin A was directly correlated with the number of SMCs in each group of rats. These results suggest that an enhanced expression of c-Myc may be involved in the increased proliferation seen in SMCs from small arteries of SHR. Quinapril administration normalizes proliferation in the SMCs of SHR, possibly by inhibiting the expression of the oncoprotein c-Myc and its effects on the cell cycle. 相似文献

To explore the role of the atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) system in the pathophysiology of hypertension we examined the binding kinetics of synthetic ANF to cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) derived from the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) and two normotensive controls-the Wistar Kyoto (WKY) and American Wistar (W). The number of maximal binding sites (Bmax) per cell (mean ± SEM; × 103) were: SHR = 278.0 ± 33.0, WKY = 28.3 ± 7.1 and W = 26.6 ± 4.2. The differences between the SHR and normotensive strains were significant at p<0.001. The equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd; × 10?9M) was higher in SHR VSMCs (0.94 ± 0.14) than in WKY (0.22 ± 0.09; p <0.01) and W (0.39 ± 0.14; p <0.02) cells. The plasma levels of the imnunoreactive ANF were higher in SHR than the normotensive controls. We suggest that the relatively greater ANF receptor density in cultured VSMCs of the SHR represents a response to the invitro environment which is relatively more deficient in ANF for VSMCs of the SHR as compared with the normotensive rats. Thus, the capacity of the SHR VSMC to regulate ANF receptor density appears to be independent of the blood pressure level. 相似文献

To determine how the effect of insulin is related to the development of salt-induced hypertension, and whether a hyporesponse to insulin exists in the peripheral sympathetic nerves of a hypertensive model rat, we measured norepinephrine overflow from the periarterial nerve of isolated mesenteric arteries exposed to insulin in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) as well as Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) fed diets that were high and low in salt. Salt loading (diet containing 8% salt for 4 weeks) accelerated the development of hypertension in young, spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) (157 ± 5 mm Hg υ 198 ± 4 mm Hg, P < .01) but did not affect the blood pressure of Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) (102 ± 7 mm Hg υ 104 ± 6 mm Hg, P = NS). Basal norepinephrine overflow did not differ in the SHR and WKY rats, but the overflow of norepinephrine after periarterial electrical stimulation (8 Hz 1 min.) was significantly greater in SHR (0.806 ± 0.079 ng/g) than in WKY (0.723 ± 0.022 ng/g P < .01). Although insulin reduced the norepinephrine overflow by periarterial nerve stimulation in both WKY and SHR, the decrease with insulin was significantly greater in the SHR than in WKY (−18.4% ± 4.0% υ −32.0% ± 4.6%, P < .05). The inhibitory effect of insulin on norepinephrine overflow was reduced by salt loading in SHR (−8.8% ± 4.0%, P < .05), but not in WKY (−32.5% ± 4.7%, P = NS). Cocaine and ouabain completely blocked the effect of insulin in all four groups. In contrast to insulin, direct stimulation of Na+-K+ ATPase with a high-potassium buffer (12 mmol/L) reduced NE overflow to the same extent among the four groups. These findings show that SHR have a blunted response to the suppression by insulin of norepinephrine overflow. Salt loading reduced the insulin response at peripheral sympathetic nerves of young SHR, but did not affect that of age-matched WKY. Thus, hyporeactivity to insulin may play a role in the development of salt-induced hypertension in young SHR, possibly through a reduced suppression of norepinephrine overflow from sympathetic nerve endings.

Erectile dysfunction has an increased prevalence in hypertensive patients and is associated with cardiovascular diseases. For many years the discussion has been polarized on whether in hypertensive patients, it is the arterial hypertension or the antihypertensive therapy that is the cause of male erectile dysfunction. The aim of our study was to determine the morphologic changes in cavernous tissue (CT) in an animal model of arterial hypertension. Male spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) (n = 15) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats (n = 15) were studied for 8 months. Animals were allowed to drink tap water and fed a standard rat chow ad libitum. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was measured monthly by the tail/cuff method. At the end of the experiment all the animals were sacrificed for microscopic studies. Cavernous tissue was processed by hematoxylin and eosin, Masson’s trichrome, and monoclonal anti-α smooth muscle actin. Cavernous smooth muscle (CSM) and vascular smooth muscle (VSM) proliferation and CT fibrosis were evaluated by a semiquantitative score. SHR showed a higher proliferative score in CSM (2.7 ± 0.28 v 1.1 ± 0.07; P < .001), as well as in VSM (2.7 ± 0.25 v 1 ± 0.05; P < .001), and higher CT fibrosis score (2.8 ± 0.28 v 0.1 ± 0.07; P < .001), when compared to WKY rats. Furthermore, SHR showed a positive correlation between SBP and CSM proliferative score (r2 = 0.9277), SBP and VSM proliferative score (r2 = 0.8828), and SBP and CT fibrosis score (r2 = 0.7775). In addition, an increase in the surrounding connective tissue at the perineurium and endoneurium of the amielinic nerves in CT was observed in the SHR group. According to these results we conclude that SHR present morphologic changes in vessels as well as in cavernous spaces of the erectile tissue that have a high positive correlation with high blood pressure. Moreover, the increase in extracellular matrix expansion seems to affect not only the interstitium but also the neural structures of the penis. 相似文献

The platelet-type 12-lipoxygenase (12-LO) catalyzes the transformation of arachidonic acid into 12-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid [12-(S)HPETE], which is reduced to 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid [12-(S)HETE]. These metabolites exhibit a variety of biological activities such as mediation of angiotensin II-induced intracellular calcium transients in cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells. It has recently been reported that platelet 12(S)-HETE production is enhanced in the spontaneously hypertensive rat. The pronounced hypotensive effect of LO inhibition in SHR suggests that LO activity may play a role in this form of hypertension. The aim of this study was to determine the basal and thrombin-induced platelet 12(S)-HETE production and the urinary 12(S)-HETE excretion in essential hypertension. We studied 19 patients with this disease (57+/-2 years of age) and 9 normotensive control subjects (48+/-5 years of age) (P:=0.074). 12(S)-HETE was measured in Sep-Pack-extracted samples with specific ELISA and high-performance liquid chromatography. The platelet basal level of 12(S)-HETE was significantly higher in patients than in control subjects (3.56+/-1.22 versus 0.64+/-0.13 ng/10(6) platelets, P:<0.025). In contrast, there were no differences in thrombin-stimulated (1 U/mL) 12(S)-HETE generation: 7.66+/-2.14 in patients versus 4.87+/-1.46 in control subjects (P:=0.61). Platelet 12-LO protein levels, measured by Western blotting with a polyclonal antibody, were higher in the patients than in the control subjects. The urinary excretion of 12(S)-HETE was higher in patients than in control subjects: 36.8+/-7.24 versus 17.1+/-3.14 ng/mg creatinine (P:<0.01). These results indicate that 12(S)-HETE levels and 12-LO protein are increased in patients with essential hypertension, suggesting a role for this metabolite in human hypertension. 相似文献

Treatment of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto control rats (WKY) for at least 12 weeks with calcium channel antagonists is associated with regression of structural hypertensive changes in the heart and in conduit and small arteries. To establish whether structural or functional changes of small arteries could be corrected with shorter periods of specific antihypertensive treatment, SHR and WKY were treated for 4 weeks with the novel calcium channel blocker mibefradil. Blood pressure rise was significantly reduced by mibefradil treatment in SHR to 165 ± 1 mm Hg compared to a systolic blood pressure of 183 ± 2 mm Hg in untreated SHR (P < .01). Aortic hypertrophy in SHR was slightly reduced by treatment, but small artery hypertrophy in 4 vascular beds (mesenteric, renal, coronary, and femoral) was unaffected by administration of mibefradil for 4 weeks. Mibefradil treatment resulted in normalization of endothelium-dependent relaxation in mesenteric small arteries, with disappearance of acetylcholine-induced contractions, although hypertrophy and remodeling of these small arteries were not significantly affected by treatment. In WKY rats, treatment had no effect on either structure or function of small arteries. These results demonstrate that treatment with the calcium antagonist mibefradil may induce an improvement in altered endothelial function even before regression of cardiovascular hypertrophy and remodeling takes place under treatment, indicating that normalization of abnormal small artery endothelial function in SHR under antihypertensive therapy may be independent of correction of altered small artery structure. 相似文献

We compared renal interlobar arteries of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) in terms of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 4A and CYP2E1 protein expression; levels of 20-HETE, 19-HETE, and 18-HETE; and responsiveness to phenylephrine in the absence and presence of N-methylsulfonyl-12,12-dibromododec-11-enamide (DDMS; 30 mumol/L), a CYP4A inhibitor. Relative to data in WKY, arteries of SHR exhibited diminished (P<0.05) CYP2E1 and levels of 19-HETE (66.7+/-6.0 versus 44.9+/-2.8 pmol/mg) and 18-HETE (13.8+/-1.6 versus 7.9+/-0.5 pmol/mg), whereas CYP4A and 20-HETE levels (99.3+/-9.1 versus 98.9+/-12.8 pmol/mg) were unchanged. Phenylephrine contracted vascular rings of SHR and WKY; the R(max) was similar in both strains, but SHR vessels were more sensitive as denoted by the lower (P<0.05) EC50 (0.28+/-0.07 versus 0.71+/-0.12 mumol/L). DDMS decreased 20-HETE and, to a lesser extent, 19-HETE, while increasing (P<0.05) the EC50 for phenylephrine by 475% and 54% in vessels of SHR and WKY, respectively. The desensitizing effect of DDMS was reversed by 20-HETE. Notably, the minimal concentration of 20-HETE that decreased the EC50 for phenylephrine in DDMS-treated vessels was smaller in SHR (0.1 micromol/L) than WKY (10 micromol/L), and the sensitizing effect of 20-HETE was blunted (P<0.05) by the (R) stereoisomers of 19-HETE and 18-HETE. We conclude that the increased sensitivity to phenylephrine in arteries of SHR is attributable to a vasoregulatory imbalance produced by a deficit in vascular CYP2E1-derived products, most likely 19(R)-HETE and 18(R)-HETE, which condition amplification of the sensitizing action of 20-HETE. 相似文献

The immediate effects on regional and systemic hemodynamics of urapidil (1 mg/kg IV), a recently synthesized vasodilator with a possible combined central and peripheral action, were studied in spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) and normotensive (WKY) rats. Maximal decrease in mean arterial pressure was achieved within the first minute after injection (154 ± 4 vs 113 ± 6 mm Hg in SHR and 111 ± 4 vs 82 ± 4 mm Hg in WKY, p < 0.01). This effect was accompanied by a transient (10 min) significant increase in heart rate in both strains. There was a significant fall in total peripheral resistance (0.43 ± 0.02 vs 0.30 ± 0.02 U/kg in WKY and 0.62 ± 0.03 vs 0.43 ± 0.03 U/kg in SHR, p < 0.01) and rise in cardiac index 15 min after drug injection (371 ± 9 vs 425 ± 12 m1/min/kg in WKY and 395 ± 8 vs 432 ± 12 ml/min/kg in SHR, p < 0.01). Organ vascular resistance decreased significantly in all the organs of WKY and most of the organs of SHR rats. However, a significant increase in blood flow was observed only in skeletal muscle. The data indicate that urapidil is a potent hypotensive agent. The pressure fall is mediated through a decreased total peripheral resistance that is distributed through all circulations. The increased cardiac output and heart rate are most likely reflexly induced. 相似文献

The effects of pertussis toxin on endothelin-1 and noradrenaline coupling to inositol phosphate (IP) formation was investigated in cultured aortic smooth muscle cells from 14 week SHR and WKY rats. Endothelin-1 (10-6M) stimulated IP formation was decreased in cells from SHR compared to WKY (WKY 1117±157, SHR 668±85% of basal). Pre-incubation with pertussis toxin produced a significant and similar reduction in endothelin stimulated IP production in both SHR (54% reduction) and WKY (55%). However, the observed reduction in endothelin-1 stimulated IP accumulation was still apparent in SHR when compared to WKY. Pertussis toxin preincubation followed by removal of extracellular calcium reduced further the endothelin responses by similar amounts in SHR and WKY cells, but SHR stimulated IP formation remained significantly decreased compared to WKY. The extent of pertussis toxin ADP-ribosylation of Gia was similar in both SHR and WKY cells. Endothelin-1 produced a reduction in the extent of ADP-ribosylation of Gia and this was of similar magnitude in both SHR and WKY cell membranes. In contrast, noradrenaline stimulated IP formation was unaffected by pertussis toxin pre-incubation. It was concluded that SHR cells do not appear to have an alteration in endothelin-1 activated, pertussis toxin sensitive G-protein coupling to IP formation or in the dependence of inositol phosphate formation on extracellular calcium. 相似文献

Intrinsic differences between vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) in normotension and genetic hypertension may account for the exaggerated growth response often observed in the hypertensive vasculature. To test this hypothesis, in this study we compared the vascular growth response of the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto rat (WKY) following induction of one kidney, one clip (1K1C) renal hypertension. SHR and WKY rats were uninephrectomized and renal hypertension (RH) induced using silver clips of 0.22 and 0.24 mm width. Four weeks later, vessel and VSMC growth were assessed in small mesenteric arteries. The systolic blood pressure (SBP) in the RH animals was significantly higher than in uninephrectomised controls, in RH-SHR with a 0.24 mm clip SBP averaged 215 ± 4 mm Hg and in RH-WKY with a 0.22 or 0.24 mm clip the SBPs averaged 214 ± 5 mm Hg and 190 ± 2 mm Hg, respectively. For the same SBP, there were no differences in medial cross-sectional areas of the small mesenteric arteries between RH-SHR and RH0.22-WKY, which averaged 1.73 ± 0.19 × 104 μm2 and 1.66 ± 0.15 × 104 μm2, respectively. Likewise, the number of VSMCs (within a precise anatomical site of the mesenteric vasculature) were not different between the RH-SHR and the RH0.22-WKY with VSMC number 7.6 ± 0.8 × 104 cells and 6.9 ± 0.4 × 104 cells, respectively. In the RH0.22-WKY vascular growth responses were generally unchanged compared with the RH0.24-WKY except for a further increase in the incidence of polyploid cells. In conclusion, the results of this study demonstrate that smooth muscle cells of the SHR are not hyperresponsive to all growth-promoting stimuli. Taken together with previous observations, it appears that sustained activity of the renin-angiotensin system may be required for exaggerated vascular growth responses in SHR. 相似文献

The activity of Na+ K+ ATPase in the endothelium and smooth muscle of the aortae of normotensive and hypertensive rats was investigated. The enzyme activity in the endothelium and smooth muscle of the spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) was 2.15 ± 0.48 and 12.98±0.99 respectively. These values were significantly lower (P<0.05) than the enzyme activity in the corresponding tissues (10.10 ± 1.78 for endothelium, 20.77 ± 2.54 for smooth muscle) of the normotensive Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats. However, with the low blood pressure spontaneously hypertensive rats (LBP-SHR) i.e. in those animals whose blood pressures were below 150 mm Hg, the enzyme activity in both tissues was not significantly different from those of the WKY. Since Na+ K+ ATPase is coupled to the sodium-potassium pump whose activity affects the functions of other pumps, the results indicate that the development of high blood pressure in the SHR may be related to an alteration in the transport of cations across the cell membrane. 相似文献

Isolation and characterization of single vascular smooth muscle cells from spontaneously hypertensive rats 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
To study the properties of vascular smooth muscle in hypertension without the influence of the nerves and endothelium, a procedure was developed to isolate single smooth muscle cells from tail arteries of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) normotensive control rats. Perfusion of intact arteries with a solution of papain and collagenase produced dense populations of viable cells (more than 10(4) cells/ml) that remained relaxed in the presence of physiological levels of calcium. Contractile responses of smooth muscle cells from the SHR were significantly more sensitive to noradrenaline, potassium depolarization, and the calcium channel agonist Bay K 8644 compared with those from WKY rats. Enhanced sensitivity to calcium in the SHR was also observed on readdition of calcium to cells preincubated in noradrenaline or KCl in a calcium-free medium. These results provide evidence for alterations in the properties of vascular smooth muscle in the SHR at the single cell level. 相似文献

Fifty years since thiazide diuretics were introduced, they are established as first-line antihypertensive therapy. Because the thiazide dosing profile lessened, the blood pressure lowering mechanism may lie outside their diuretic properties. We evaluated this mechanism in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) by examining the effects of low-dose hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) administration on renin-angiotensin system components. The 7-day, 1.5 mg/kg per day HCTZ did not change systolic pressure (SBP) in WKY, but decreased SBP by 41 ± 2 mm Hg (P < .0001) in SHR, independent of increased water intake, urine output, or alterations in electrolyte excretion. HCTZ significantly increased the plasma concentrations of angiotensin I (Ang I) and angiotensin II (Ang II) in both WKY and SHR while reducing angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity and the Ang II/Ang I ratio (17.1 ± 2.9 before vs. 10.3 ± 2.9 after, P < .05) only in SHR. HCTZ increased cardiac ACE2 mRNA and activity, and neprilysin mRNA in WKY. Conversely in SHR, ACE2 activity was decreased and aside from a 75% increase in AT1 mRNA in the HCTZ-treated SHR, the other variables remained unaltered. Measures of cardiac mas receptor mRNA showed no changes in response to treatment in both strains, although it was significantly lower in untreated SHR. These data, which document for the first time the effect of low-dose thiazide on the activity of the ACE2/Ang-(1-7)/mas receptor axis, suggest that the opposing arm of the system does not substantially contribute to the antihypertensive effect of thiazides. 相似文献

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is vasodilatory and natriuretic, but whereas increased plasma ANP levels occur in spontaneously hypertensive rats, their elevated vascular resistance suggests inappropriate target tissue responsiveness to ANP. This study examines ANP-receptor binding properties (at 25 degrees C and 4 degrees C) in cultured vascular aortic smooth muscle cells from spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) and control Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. [I125]-human ANP saturation (0.0625-12.0 nmol) profiles were analyzed using nonlinear regression (LIGAND). Vascular smooth muscle cells from WKY possessed both high affinity (KD1 0.3 nmol; R1 33 fmol/10(5) cells) and low affinity (KD2 15 nmol; R2 400 fmol/10(5) cells) binding sites for ANP. In contrast, for smooth muscle cells from SHR, two receptor forms could not be resolved using identical analytical protocols. Parameter estimates at 25 degrees C and 4 degrees C were not different for either SHR or WKY. The number of receptors for SHR (Bmax approximately 100 fmol/10(5) cells) was lower than the total number of receptors for WKY (high plus low affinity approximately 430 fmol/10(5) cells). The intermediary KD value (approximately 1.0 nmol) for ANP binding in SHR suggests an ANP-receptor interconversion from high affinity to low affinity in smooth muscle cells from SHR. Competition-binding experiments also revealed a decreased affinity for ANP in SHR-derived smooth muscle cells. The cyclic GMP response (intracellular accumulation and extracellular levels) was decreased in SHR smooth muscle cells compared to WKY, although this difference was evident only after prolonged (one hour) stimulation with ANP. Our data indicate a reduced sustained vascular responsiveness to ANP in hypertension. 相似文献

To determine systemic and regional hemodynamic effects of prolonged treatment with the calcium antagonist diltiazem (30 mg/kg twice daily by gastric gavage, for 3 weeks), data from 12 Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and 10 spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) rats were compared with those obtained from 11 WKY and 10 SHR controls treated with the vehicle. Systemic and regional hemodynamics were determined in the conscious, unrestrained state using the reference sample microsphere method. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) decreased in SHR by 9% (183±4 to 167±4 mmHg; p < 0.05) but remained unchanged in WKY, while cardiac index (CI) tended to decrease in both strains; heart rate fell by 15% only in WKY (481·;10 to 354·13 beats/min; p < 0.05). Total peripheral resistance index (TPRI) tended to decrease in SHR but to increase in WKY. Organ blood flow in SHR decreased in skin and splanchnic organs, while organ vascular resistance decreased in brain and increased in splanchnic organs. In contrast, organ blood flow increased in heart and decreased in kidneys and skin of the WKY, while organ vascular resistance decreased in heart and increased in kidneys and skin. Thus, diltiazem produced nonuniform and different hemodynamic effects in the two strains. Further, diltiazem did not alter the cardiac mass in either rat strain. We therefore conclude that diltiazem demonstrated a mild hypotensive effect in SHR that was associated with slight reductions in CI and TPRI, the latter being non-uniformly distributed in the component organ circulations. 相似文献

QT interval is prolonged in hypertensive individuals, although the factors responsible for this increase are not completely understood. We questioned whether enhanced left ventricular mass (LVM) or increased systemic blood pressure represents the principal factor determining QT prolongation in the period of development of hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). In 12-and 20-week-old SHR (SHR12 and SHR20) and age-matched normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY12 and WKY20), arterial systolic blood pressure (sBP) was measured using tail-cuff technique. Orthogonal Frank ECG was registered in anaesthetized animals in vivo, and bipolar ECG was measured in spontaneously beating isolated hearts in vitro. Progressive increase of sBP and LVM resulted in significant QT prolongation in SHR20 as compared to WKY12, WKY20, and also to SHR12 in vivo (WKY12: 82?±?9 ms, WKY20: 81?±?9 ms, SHR12: 88?±?15 and SHR20: 100?±?10, respectively; p?<?0.05) but not in isolated hearts (WKY20: 196?±?39 ms and SHR20: 220?±?55, respectively; NS). In whole animals, QT duration was positively related to sBP (r?=?0.6842; p?<?0.001) but not to LVM (r?=?0.1632, NS) in SHR20. The results suggest that QT prolongation in SHR developing hypertension and LVH depends on blood pressure rather than increase in LVM. In this period, myocardial hypertrophy is probably the predisposition for QT prolongation, but the significant change manifests only in the presence of elevated systemic factors. 相似文献
