چکیده

We examined the effects of several E-ring and F-ring isoprostanes on mechanical and electrophysiological activity in porcine coronary artery. Several isoprostanes evoked concentration-dependent contractions, with 8-iso-PGE2 being the most potent (-log EC50 of 6.9 +/- 0.1); this excitatory effect has been described in detail elsewhere and was not examined further here. 8-iso-PGE2 evoked dose-dependent relaxations in tissues preconstricted with the thromboxane A2-agonist U46619 (10(-6) M), with a negative log EC50 of 6.0 +/- 0.1 (n = 5). 8-iso-PGE1 and 8-iso-PGF2 beta also evoked relaxations (albeit with lower potency), whereas the other F-ring isoprostanes (8-iso-PGF1 alpha, 8-iso-PGF1 beta, and 8-iso-PGF2 alpha) were largely ineffective in this respect. The potency and efficacy of 8-iso-PGE2 in reversing tone were not dependent upon the concentration of U46619 used to preconstrict the tissues (10(-8) to 10(-6) M), indicating a lack of U46619-induced functional antagonism of these responses. 8-iso-PGE2 was able to completely relax tissues that had been denuded of endothelium (as indicated by loss of responsiveness to bradykinin). 8-iso-PGE2-evoked relaxations were markedly reduced by elevating the K+ equilibrium potential using 30 mM KCl and abolished by 60 mM KCl; they were also sensitive to charybdotoxin (10(-7) M) but not to 4-aminopyridine (1 mM). 8-iso-PGE2 also caused membrane hyperpolarization and augmentation of outward K+ current. We conclude that 8-iso-prostaglandin E2 acts directly on the smooth muscle to increase K+ conductance, leading to membrane hyperpolarization and vasodilation.

Enhanced β-receptor-mediated vasorelaxation in hypoxic porcine coronary artery.

To investigate the β-adrenoceptor-mediated responses in hypoxic coronary arteries, we studied the effect of isoproterenol (Iso) on isolated porcine coronary arteries contracted with endothelin-1 in media aerated with 0, 5, 7.5, and 95% O2. The concentration-response curve of Iso was significantly shifted to the left by hypoxia (0 and 5% O2). In oxygenated and hypoxic arteries, 3 × 10-8, 10-6, a...

Effects of endothelin-1 on endothelial cells in the porcine coronary artery.

The effects of endothelin-1 (ET-1) on endothelial cells from the porcine coronary artery were investigated using cascade bioassay and radioimmunoassay methods. For comparison, endothelial cells from the rabbit abdominal aorta were also used. Freshly isolated endothelial cells were perfused with Krebs' solution. Liberation of vasodilatory substances was detected under bioassay conditions by meas...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to determine if urinary levels of 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α (8-iso-PGF2α) and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanine (8-OHdG) could be used as markers of the oxidative stress in significant coronary artery disease (CAD). SUBJECTS AND METHODS We conducted a case-control study in 104 subjects assessed by coronary angiography with the following diagnoses: 3...
