1. This study examined whether (i) a 1 h pretreatment with or (ii) a continuous infusion of sulprostone reduces myocardial infarct size arising from coronary artery occlusion (60 min) and reperfusion (120 min) in the anaesthetized rabbit. In addition, we investigated whether the observed cardioprotective effect of this selective agonist of prostanoid EP1/EP3 receptors were due to the activation of ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels. 2. In anaesthetized rabbits pretreated with vehicle (5% ethanol in 0.9% saline; 0.05 ml min-1, i.v.) infarct size (expressed as a percentage of the area at risk) after 60 min of coronary artery occlusion followed by 120 min of reperfusion was 59 +/- 4% (n = 10). Pretreatment of rabbits with sulprostone (1.0 microgram kg-1 min-1 for 1 h, discontinued immediately prior to coronary artery occlusion) did not reduce infarct size (60 +/- 4%; n = 4). In contrast, a continuous infusion of sulprostone (1.0 microgram kg-1 min-1) starting 10 min prior to the onset of LAL occlusion and continued throughout the experiment, significantly reduced infarct size (41 +/- 5%, n = 6) when compared to the respective vehicle-treated controls (57 +/- 4%, n = 10; P < 0.05). Sulprostone (pretreatment or continuous infusion) had no effect on any of the haemodynamic parameters measured. 3. The reduction in infarct size afforded by continuous infusion of sulprostone was abolished by pretreatment of rabbits with the KATP channel blocker 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD 5 micrograms kg-1; 63 +/- 4%; n = 6). When administered alone, 5-HD had no effect on infarct size when compared to control (52 +/- 6, n = 10). 4. We propose that a continuous infusion of the selective EP1/EP3 prostanoid receptor agonist, sulprostone, reduces infarct size in the anaesthetized rabbit by a mechanism that involves the opening of KATP channels. 相似文献

1. This study examined whether endothelin-1 (ET-1) reduces infarct size in a rabbit model of acute coronary artery occlusion (60 min) and reperfusion (120 min). In addition, we investigated whether the observed cardioprotective effect of ET-1 was due to the activation of ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels by using two selective antagonists, glibenclamide and sodium 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD). 2. In the anaesthetized rabbit, infarct size (expressed as a percentage of the area at risk) after 60 min of coronary artery occlusion followed by 2 h of reperfusion was 55 +/- 4% (n = 11). ET-1 (0.3 nmol kg-1), administered as a bolus injection into the left ventricle, had no effect on infarct size (62 +/- 2%, n = 4). A lower dose of ET-1 (0.03 nmol kg-1) resulted in a significant reduction in infarct size (infarct size 43 +/- 3%; P < 0.05, n = 16). The higher dose (0.3 nmol kg-1), but not the lower dose of ET-1 caused a significant rise in blood pressure, pressure rate index and hence, myocardial oxygen consumption. 3. The reduction in infarct size afforded by ET-1 (0.03 nmol kg-1) was abolished by pretreatment of rabbits with the KATP channel inhibitors, glibenclamide (0.3 mg kg-1) and 5-HD (5 mg kg-1), (infarct size 59 +/- 3 and 63 +/- 4% respectively; n = 4-9). 4. We propose that ET-1 reduces infarct size by opening KATP channels. 相似文献

This study examined whether quinaprilat, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, reduces the infarct size, and investigated the mechanisms for its infarct size-reducing effect, in rabbits. Japanese white rabbits underwent 30 min of ischemia and 48 h of reperfusion. Quinaprilat (100 microg/kg/h or 300 microg/kg/h for 70 min, IV) was administered 20 min before ischemia with or without pretreatment with Nomega-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME) (10 mg/kg, IV, a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor), 5-hydroxydecanoic acid sodium salt (5-HD) or posttreatment with 5-HD (5 mg/kg, IV, a mitochondrial KATP channel blocker). The area at risk as a percentage of the left ventricle was determined by Evans blue dye and the infarct size was determined as a percent of the area at risk by triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining. Using a microdialysis technique, myocardial interstitial levels of 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHBA), an indicator of hydroxyl radicals, and NOx, an indicator of nitric oxide, were measured before, during, and after 30 min of ischemia. Quinaprilat significantly reduced the infarct size in a dose-dependent manner (30.1 +/- 3%, n = 10, and 27.6 +/- 2%, n = 7, respectively) compared with the control (46.5 +/- 4%, n = 10). The infarct size-reducing effect of quinaprilat was completely blocked by pretreatment with l-NAME (43.8 +/- 2%, n = 8) and 5-HD (50.1 +/- 3%, n = 8) and posttreatment with 5-HD (50.3 +/- 2%, n = 8), respectively. Quinaprilat did not affect the myocardial interstitial 2,5-DHBA level but significantly increased the NOx level during ischemia and reperfusion. Quinaprilat reduces myocardial infarct size involving NO production and mitochondrial KATP channels in rabbits without collateral circulation. 相似文献

Cardioprotective effects of nicorandil in rabbits anaesthetized with halothane: potentiation of ischaemic preconditioning via KATP channels 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

1. The roles of ATP-sensitive K+ channels (KATP channels) in ischaemic or pharmacological preconditioning in the rabbit heart remain unclear. Infarct limitation by ischaemic preconditioning was abolished by the KATP channel blocker glibenclamide under ketamine/xylazine anaesthesia, but not under anaesthesia induced by pentobarbital. Infarct limitation by the KATP channel opener pinacidil was detected under ketamine/xylazine anaesthesia, but not under pentobarbital anaesthesia. Thus, these effects appear to be anaesthetic dependent. 2. In the present study, we examined whether nicorandil (a KATP channel opener nitrate) exhibits cardioprotective actions under halothane anaesthesia, another commonly used volatile anaesthetic. Control animals were subjected to 40 min coronary occlusion and 120 min reperfusion. Before 40 min ischaemia, the nicorandil group received nicorandil (100 microg/kg per min, i.v., for 10 min), the 5' preconditioning (PC) group received 5 min ischaemia/20 min reperfusion, the 2.5'PC group received 2.5 min preconditioning ischaemia/20 min reperfusion, the nicorandil +2.5'PC group received both nicorandil and 2.5 min ischaemia/20 min reperfusion, the nicorandil +2.5'PC + 5-hydroxydecanoate (5HD) group received both nicorandil and 2.5 min ischaemia/20 min reperfusion in the presence of 5-hydroxydecanoate (5HD; a KATP blocker) and the 5HD group received 5 mg/kg, i.v., 5HD alone. Myocardial infarct size in control (n = 7), nicorandil (n = 5), 5'PC (n = 8), 2.5'PC (n = 5), nicorandil + 2.5'PC (n = 5), nicorandil + 2.5'PC + 5HD (n = 5) and 5HD (n = 4) groups averaged 44.4 +/- 3.6, 41.7 +/- 5.7, 17.8 +/- 3.2,* 34.1 +/- 4.8, 21.3 +/- 4.2,* 39.1 +/- 5.6 and 38.9 +/- 5.0% of the area at risk, respectively (*P <0.05 vs control). 3. Thus, nicorandil alone did not have an infarct size-limiting effect in halothane-anaesthetized rabbits. However, the results suggest that even when nicorandil alone does not demonstrate a direct cardioprotective effect, it may enhance ischaemic preconditioning via KATP channels.

Pharmacologic preconditioning by delta-opioid agonists occurs via activation of an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-gated potassium channel (I(KATP)). Opening of mitochondrial I(KATP) confers pharmacologic preconditioning whereas opening the sarcolemmal I(KATP) shortens action potential duration and is proarrhythmic. This study investigated whether SNC-80, a selective delta-opioid agonist, is associated with development of ventricular arrhythmia due to activation of I(KATP). Rabbit isolated hearts were subjected to 12 min of hypoxia and 40 min of reoxygenation after pretreatment with SNC-80 (1 microM, n = 6), pinacidil (1.25 microM, n = 12), or BMS-191095 (6.0 microM, n = 4). Nine additional hearts served as controls. The cytoprotective effects of SNC-80 at a concentration of 1 microM were confirmed using 30 min of regional ischemia followed by 120 min of reperfusion. Ventricular fibrillation (VF) developed in 11 of 12 pinacidil-treated hearts whereas none of the SNC-80-treated (zero of six) hearts developed VF (P < 0.001 compared with pinacidil pretreatment) and zero of four BMS-191095-pretreated hearts developed VF. Similarly, zero of nine control hearts developed VF. SNC-80 reduced infarct size expressed as a percentage of the area at risk from 33 +/- 4% to 14 +/- 3% (P = 0.004) compared with control. SNC-80, which selectively activates the delta-opioid receptor, provided cytoprotection but did not induce VF after hypoxia reoxygenation. The results indicate that pinacidil-induced nonselective activation of I(KATP) results in proarrhythmia that is dependent on activation of the sarcolemmal I(KATP). Selectivity for the mitochondrial I(KATP) is necessary to prevent induction of a proarrhythmic state. 相似文献

1. This study investigates the effects of two agonists of the prostanoid EP3-receptor (M&B 28767 and GR 63799X) on the infarct size caused by regional myocardial ischaemia and reperfusion in the anaesthetized rat. 2. One hundred and sixty-seven, male Wistar rats were anaesthetized (thiopentone, 120 mg kg(-1) i.p.), ventilated (8-10 ml kg(-1), 70 strokes min(-1), inspiratory oxygen concentration: 30%; PEEP: 1-2 mmHg) and subjected to occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD, for 7.5, 15, 25, 35, 45 or 60 min) followed by reperfusion (2 h). Infarct size was determined by staining of viable myocardium with a tetrazolium stain (NBT), histological evaluation by light and electron microscopy and determination of the plasma levels of cardiac troponin T. 3. M&B 28767 (0.5 microg kg(-1) min(-1), i.v., n=7) or GR 63799X (3 microg kg(-1) min(-1), i.v., n=7) caused significant reductions in infarct size from 60+/-3% (25 min ischaemia and 2 h reperfusion; saline-control, n=8) to 39+/-6 and 38+/-4% of the area at risk, without causing a significant fall in blood pressure. Pretreatment of rats with 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD), an inhibitor of ATP-sensitive potassium channels, attenuated the cardioprotective effects of both EP3-receptor agonists. The reduction in infarct size afforded by M&B 28767 was also abolished by glibenclamide and the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors staurosporine and chelerythrine. 4. Thus, M&B 28767 and GR 63799X reduce myocardial infarct size in the rat by a mechanism(s) which involves the activation of PKC and the opening of ATP-sensitive potassium channels. 相似文献

Glibenclamide preserves postischaemic myocardial function in the isolated, erythrocyte perfused, working rat heart model. This study addresses the possible involvement of KATP channels in this beneficial action of glibenclamide. We hypothesized that if glibenclamide improved postischaemic cardiac function by blocking of KATP channels, opening of these KATP channels should result in the opposite, namely detrimental effects on postischaemic heart function. Postischaemic functional loss and coronary blood flow were recorded during treatment with glibenclamide (4 micromol x l(-1); n = 5), the KATP channel openers pinacidil (1 micromol x (l-1); n = 5) and diazoxide (30 micromol x l(-1); n = 5), the combination of glibenclamide with pinacidil (n = 5) and glibenclamide with diazoxide (n = 5), and vehicle (n = 8). Both pinacidil and diazoxide significantly increased coronary blood flow 2-3 times, which was abolished by glibenclamide pre- and postischaemically. This confirms that under both flow conditions glibenclamide significantly blocks KATP channels in the coronary vasculature. The 12 min. global ischaemic incident resulted in a cardiac functional loss of 22.2 +/- 2.9% during vehicle. Glibenclamide reduced the cardiac functional loss to 4.3 +/- 1.2% (P < 0.01). Interestingly, both pinacidil and diazoxide reduced the cardiac functional loss to 4.0 +/- 1.5% (P < 0.01) and 2.9 +/- 1.4% (P < 0.001), respectively. The combination pinacidil+glibenclamide resulted in additional protection compared with the individual components (0.6 +/- 0.1 versus 4.0 +/- 1.5%, P < 0.05). Thus, in contrast to its effect on coronary vascular tone, the glibenclamide-induced improvement of postischaemic cardiac function may not be mediated through blockade of the KATP channel. Alternative mechanisms may be operative, such as uncoupling of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, thereby preconditioning the hearts against stunning. 相似文献

Japanese white rabbits underwent 30 minutes of ischemia and 48 hours of reperfusion. Benidipine (3 or 10 microg/kg, i.v.) was administered 10 minutes before ischemia with and without pretreatment with L-NAME (10 mg/kg, i.v., a NOS inhibitor), chelerythrine (5 mg/kg, i.v., a PKC blocker) or 5-HD (5 mg/kg, i.v. a mitochondrial KATP channel blocker), genistein (5 mg/kg, i.v. a protein tyrosin kinase blocker). SNAP (2.5 mg/kg/min x 70 minutes, i.v., an NO donor) was also administered 10 minutes before ischemia. Benidipine significantly reduced the infarct size in a dose-dependent manner (3 microg/kg: 29.0 +/- 2.7%, n = 8, 10 microg/kg: 23.0 +/- 2.4%, n = 10) compared with the control (41.6 +/- 3.3%, n = 10). This effect was completely blocked by L-NAME (39.9 +/- 3.6%, n = 8) and chelerythrine (35.5 +/- 2.4%, n = 8) but not by 5-HD (23.0 +/- 2.4%, n = 10) or genistein (24.6 +/- 3.1%, n = 10). SNAP also reduced the infarct size (24.6 +/- 3.1%, n = 8). Benidipine significantly increased the expression of eNOS mRNA at 30 minutes after reperfusion and significantly increased the expression of eNOS protein at 3 hours after reperfusion in the ischemic area of the left ventricle. Benidipine and SNAP significantly decreased myocardial interstitial 2,5-DHBA levels, an indicator of hydroxyl radicals, during ischemia and reperfusion. Benidipine increased myocardial interstitial NOx levels, which effect was blocked by chelerythrine, during 0 to 30 minutes and 150 to 180 minutes after reperfusion. Benidipine reduces the infarct size through PKC-dependent production of nitric oxide and decreasing hydroxyl radicals but not through involving protein tyrosine kinase or mitochondrial KATP channels in rabbits. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) has been reported to activate ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels, which induces vasorelaxation. However, direct evidence of PGE1 interactions with vascular KATP channels is limited. METHODS: The present study investigated the effects and mechanisms of PGE1 on vascular KATP channels in both isometric tension and patch clamp experiments.Isometric tension experiments were performed in rat thoracic aortic rings without an endothelium. Electrophysiologic experiments were performed using patch-clamp techniques to monitor KATP channels in rat vascular smooth muscle cells. RESULTS: PGE1 significantly decreased the isometric tension in a concentration-dependent manner, which was partially inhibited by pretreating with a KATP channel inhibitor, glibenclamide (1 microM), or an inhibitor of protein kinase A (PKA), Rp-cAMPS (100 microM). Application of PGE1 to the bath solution during cell-attached recordings induced a significant increase in KATP channel activity, whereas PGE1 failed to activate KATP channels in the inside-out patches. The PGE1-induced KATP channel currents in cell-attached patches were abolished by pretreating with Rp-cAMPS (100 microM). CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that the activation of vascular KATP channels played an important role in the PKA-dependent PGE1-induced vasorelaxation. Furthermore, an electrophysiological experiment demonstrated that PGE1 activated vascular KATP channels via PKA activation. 相似文献

Effect of Gαq/11 protein and ATP-sensitive potassium channels on prostaglandin E1 preconditioning in rat hearts 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
To investigate the effect of G~11 signaling pathway and ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KAxP channels) on prostaglandin E1 (PGE0 induced early and delay-preconditioning protection in rat hearts. METHODS: Two series of experiments were performed in Wistar rat hearts. In the first series of experiment, all rats were pretreated with PGE 40 min or 23 h 20 min before the experiment. Ischemia-reperfusion injury was induced by 30 min coronaryartery occlusion followed by 90 min reperfusion. Hemodynamics, infarct size, and scores of ventricular arrhythmias were measured. The expression of G~q/H protein in the heart was measured by Western blot analysis in the second series. RESULTS: Preconditioning with PGE~ (25 lag/kg ) markedly reduced infarct size, left ventricular enddiastolic pressure, and scores of ventricular arrhythmia. The effect of PGE1 was significantly attenuated by glibenclamide (1 mg/kg, ip), a nonselective KA~ channel inhibitor. PGE~ caused a significant increase in the expression of G~/~ protein. CONCLUSION: Activations of G~/H signal pathway and Kgrp channel played significantroles in the cardioprotection of PGE~ preconditioning in rat heart and might be an important mechanism of signal transduction pathway during the PGEj preconditioning. 相似文献

1. The effects were investigated of the ETA receptor antagonist, FR 139317, on endothelin-1 (ET-1)-induced coronary vasoconstriction in the isolated perfused heart of the rabbit. In addition, this study examined whether FR 139317 reduced infarct size in a rabbit model of coronary artery occlusion and reperfusion. 2. In the rabbit isolated perfused heart, ET-1 (1-100 pmol) elicited a dose-dependent increase in coronary perfusion pressure (CPP). For example, 30 pmol ET-1 caused CPP to rise by 22 +/- 8 mmHg and 100 pmol ET-1 by 47 +/- 10 mmHg (n = 8). Infusion of FR 139317 (1 microM) significantly attenuated the increase in CPP caused by ET-1 (30 pmol: 3 +/- 1 mmHg, 100 pmol: 8 +/- 2 mmHg; n = 8). 3. In the anaesthetized rabbit, infarct size (expressed as a percentage of the area at risk) after 45 or 60 min of coronary artery occlusion followed by 2 h of reperfusion was 47 +/- 6% (n = 6) and 55 +/- 7% (n = 5), respectively. A continuous infusion of FR 139317 (0.2 mg kg-1 min-1 preceded by a loading dose of 1.0 mg kg-1, i.v.; n = 5-6) had no effect on the extent of the myocardial infarct size (45 min: 47 +/- 6%; 60 min: 49 +/- 7%).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Intravenous and orally administered prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and 16,16-dimethyl PGE2 (dmPGE2) protect the rat gastric mucosa from injury induced by oral administration of acidified 40% ethanol. The effects of pretreatment with these prostaglandins on platelet activating factor (Paf)-induced gastric damage has now been investigated in the rat. A 10 min infusion of Paf (50 or 100 ng kg-1 min-1, i.v.) resulted in dose-related vasocongestion of the gastric mucosa. Intravenous pretreatment with dmPGE2 (20 micrograms kg-1) failed to prevent the gastric damage induced by the higher dose of Paf. Pretreatment with PGE2 (10-100 micrograms kg-1) or dmPGE2 (1-20 micrograms kg-1), either orally or intravenously, also failed to prevent the gastric vasocongestion induced by the lower dose of Paf. On the contrary, significant augmentation of Paf-induced damage was observed with several of the doses of PGE2 and dmPGE2. These studies demonstrate that the protective properties of PGE2 and dmPGE2 in the gastric mucosa do not extend to damage induced by Paf. 相似文献

The effects of the prostanoid EP3 receptor agonist TEI-3356 on either protein kinase C or ATP-sensitive (K(ATP)) K+ channels and on the infarct size caused by regional myocardial ischaemia and reperfusion in the rat were investigated. Male Wistar rats (n = 72) were subjected to 25 min occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery followed by 2 h of reperfusion. TEI-3356 (1 microg/kg/min i.v., n = 6) caused a significant reduction in infarct size from 60+/-3% (control, n = 8) to 38+/-3% of the area at risk. Pretreatment of rats with 5-hydroxydecanoate (5 mg/kg i.v., n = 6), a specific inhibitor of K(ATP)-channels, attenuated the cardioprotective effects of TEI-3356. The reduction in infarct size afforded by TEI-3356 was also abolished by the protein kinase C inhibitors staurosporine (1 microg/kg i.v., n = 6) and chelerythrine (0.7 mg/kg i.v., n = 5). Thus, TEI-3356 reduces myocardial infarct size in the rat by a mechanism(s) which involves the activation of protein kinase C and the opening of K(ATP)-channels. 相似文献

1. Bradykinin (BK, 1 microgram) caused a small (2 fold at 6 h) increase in prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the normal rabbit kidney, perfused ex vivo. This was exaggerated (6 fold at 6 h) in the hydronephrotic kidney (HNK). The exaggerated release of PGE2 was attenuated by cycloheximide, an inhibitor of protein synthesis or by dexamethasone, a steroid known to inhibit the induction of cyclo-oxygenase (COX-2). BK (1 microgram) when injected at 6 h of perfusion increased the release of PGE2 from 90 +/- 33 pg ml-1 min-1 to 3069 +/- 946 pg ml-1 min-1. This was reduced to 200 +/- 30 pg ml-1 min-1 in kidneys infused with cycloheximide (1 microM) and to 250 +/- 40 pg ml-1 min-1 in kidneys infused with dexamethasone (n = 8). 2. When tested on human and murine recombinant COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, DuP-697 was at least 50 fold more selective for COX-2 than for COX-1. 3. DuP-697 reduced the exaggerated release of PGE2 elicited by BK in the HNK (e.g., at 6 h of perfusion BK-evoked PGE2 release decreased from 3069 +/- 946 pg ml-1 min-1 to 187 +/- 22 pg ml-1 min-1 after perfusion with 1 microM DUP-697, n = 8). 4. Cycloheximide, dexamethasone or DuP-697 at doses used to inhibit completely the exaggerated release of PGE2 in the hydronephrotic kidney, failed to inhibit the release of PGE2 elicited by the injection of BK (1 microgram) in the normal contralateral kidney. 5. Indomethacin (1 microM), a non-selective COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitor, completely inhibited PGE2 release in the normal contralateral as well as in the hydronephrotic kidney. 6. We suggest that renal prostaglandin production in the normal kidney is driven by the activity of constitutive COX-1 while at sites of inflammation, such as the hydronephrotic kidney, there is induction of COX-2 that can be blocked selectively by anti-inflammatory glucocorticoids or selective COX-2 inhibitors. 相似文献

Drugs that prolong the QT interval can trigger the life-threatening arrhythmia, torsade de pointes, but there is a poor correlation between the extent of QT prolongation and the occurrence of torsade de pointes. The clinical status of a patient may modify the arrhythmogenicity of drugs; thus, we have investigated whether a mediator of fever and inflammation, prostaglandin E(2), alters the proarrhythmic effects of clofilium. In pentobarbitone-anaesthetized, open-chest, alpha-adrenoceptor-stimulated rabbits, prostaglandin E(2) 0.28, 0.84 and 2.80 nmol kg(-1) min(-1), infused into the left ventricle, reduced the incidence of torsade de pointes from 50% in controls to 20%, 20% and 0%, respectively (n=10 per group). Pretreatment with glibenclamide (10 micromol kg(-1)) did not alter the antiarrhythmic effect of prostaglandin E(2) (2.80 nmol kg(-1) min(-1)). These results indicate that prostaglandin E(2) prevents drug-induced torsade de pointes and that this action of prostaglandin E(2) is not mediated via opening of ATP-dependent K(+) channels (K(ATP)). 相似文献

1. Recent experiments suggest that acetylcholine (ACh) may exert myocardial protective effects during ischaemia (I) and reperfusion (R). The present study was designed (i) to assess whether ACh limits infarct size and protects coronary endothelial cells in a rat model of I and R, (ii) to evaluate the role of ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels and nitric oxide (NO) in the beneficial effect of ACh (iii) to evaluate whether the protective effect of ACh also extends to coronary endothelial cells and (iv) to assess whether ACh contributes to the beneficial effect of preconditioning. 2. Anaesthetized rats were subjected to 20 min I (left coronary artery occlusion) and 2 h of R. Infarct size was assessed by triphenyltetrazolium (TTC) staining and expressed as a % of the area at risk (India ink injection). Vascular studies were performed on 1.5-2 mm coronary segments (internal diameter 250-300 micros) removed distal to the site of occlusion and mounted in wire myographs. 3. ACh limited infarct size (from 59 +/- 3 to 26 +/- 5%, P < 0.01), and this was prevented by atropine (46 +/- 7%; P < 0.05 vs ACh), but not by the inhibitor of KATP channels, glibenclamide (29 +/- 8%). The inhibitor of NO synthesis NG-nitro L-arginine did not affect infarct size (54 +/- 5%) but abolished the beneficial effect of ACh (59 +/- 8%; P < 0.05 vs ACh), whereas the NO donor 3-morpholinosydnonimine-N-ethylcarbamide (SIN-1 limited infarct size to the same extent as ACh (28 +/- 6%).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Regulation of beta-adrenoceptors in animal tissues and human cell cultures has been extensively described; on the other hand, relatively little is known about regulation of beta-adrenoceptors in human tissues in vivo. Both beta-adrenoceptors and the prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) receptors stimulate vasodilation. We wondered if prolonged infusion of isoproterenol or PGE1 would cause desensitization of smooth muscle relaxation and used the dorsal hand-vein compliance technique to investigate this question. After constructing a dose-response curve to either the beta-agonist isoproterenol or to PGE1 in a phenylephrine preconstricted vein, isoproterenol (271 ng/min), PGE1 (956 pg/min), or saline was infused for 4 h in separate experiments. There was no change in the ED50 or Emax for either isoproterenol or PGE1 after saline infusion. After a 4-h infusion of isoproterenol, the maximal vasodilator response to isoproterenol was significantly (p less than 0.01) attenuated from 61 +/- 33% to 19 +/- 10%, while the ED50 significantly increased (p less than 0.01) from a geometric mean of 37 to 197 ng/min. After infusion of isoproterenol, the mean maximum PGE1-induced venorelaxation of 129 +/- 29% was modestly but significantly (p less than 0.05) blunted to 96 +/- 35%, while the ED50 of PGE1 increased significantly (p less than 0.01) from a geometric mean of 81 to 398 pg/min. A 4-h infusion of PGE1 significantly (p less than 0.01) attenuated the maximum response to PGE1 from 73 +/- 35 to 28 +/- 16%. The maximal vasodilatory response to isoproterenol was also significantly blunted (p less than 0.05) from 62 +/- 35 to 42 +/- 41%, with no change in ED50.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Contribution of inward rectifier K(+) currents (I(K1)) and ATP-sensitive K(+) currents (I(KATP)) to membrane potential changes of ventricular myocytes appearing during hypotonic challenge is unclear. We used here the whole cell patch clamp technique, voltage and current clamp modes, to record membrane potentials and ionic currents in isolated guinea pig ventricular myocytes under isotonic or hypotonic perfusion. The difference in osmolarity between iso- and hypotonic solutions was about 100 mOsm. Exposure to hypotonic solution for 60 s induced initial prolongation of action potential duration at 90% of repolarization (APD(90)) (from 176 +/- 10 to 189 +/- 11 ms, P<0.05, n = 13). Further perfusion for the next 300 s shorthened APD(90) to 135 +/- 9 ms (P<0.01, in comparison with control values, n = 13) and depolarized resting potential from -79.2 +/- 1.5 to -75.0 +/- 0.9 mV, (P<0.05, n = 13). Neither pretreatment with a blocker of I(K1) channels, terikalant at 10 microM, nor with a blocker of I(KATP) channels, glibenclamide at 1 microM, prevented the above-mentioned changes in membrane potential induced by hypotonic challenge when a pipette solution containing 5 mM ATP was used. Also, glibenclamide and terikalant did not affect the hypotonic-sensitive current, obtained by ramp or voltage-step protocols, respectively. Additionally, the current-voltage relationship (I-V curve) of the whole cell hypotonic-sensitive current shifted from an isotonic I-V curve in a parallel way. Our results indicate that I(K1) and I(KATP) do not participate in membrane potential changes induced by hypotonic solution at least in the guinea pig ventricular myocytes with sufficient intracellular ATP. 相似文献

The effect of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) 99-126 3 or 10 pmol/kg/min on increase in plasma renin activity (PRA) stimulated by a 30-min infusion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) 80 ng/kg/min was studied in healthy salt-replete male volunteers. PGE2 increased PRA to approximately 230% of basal levels (p less than 0.001). Concomitant infusion of ANF 3 pmol/kg/min significantly attenuated this rise in PRA to approximately 130% of baseline values (p = 0.02, n = 10). A quantitatively similar effect was observed with ANF 10 pmol/kg/min (n = 5). We suggest, in light of previous findings, that this inhibitory effect of ANF probably represents a nonspecific action rather than a specific effect of ANF on PGE2-mediated increases in PRA. 相似文献
