Effect of genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, on TAME-esterase induced contractions in rat aorta in vitro.

چکیده
Effect of genistein, a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor, on TAME-esterase induced contractions were studied on rat aorta strips in vitro. Data showed that TAME-esterase induced contractions were concentration dependent and these contractions were significantly inhibited when rat aorta strips were pre-incubated with genistein. The present findings provide evidence for the possible contribution of tyrosine kinases during TAME-esterase induced contractions in aorta.

Effects of captopril, an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor on TAME-esterase induced contractions in rat aorta strips in vitro
The in-vitro effects of Captopril an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor were studied on TAME-esterase, a component of the Kinin-Kallikrein system, induced contractions on rat aorta strips. Our results showed that contractile responses induced by TAME (EC50 6 x 10 M) were significantly attenuated when the aorta strips were pre-incubated with 1M Captopril (EC50 1.8 x10M). Based on our data w...
متن کاملEffect of vitamin C on endothelial dysfunction during N-alpha-tosyl L-arginine methyl ester [TAME]-esterase induced contractions in rat aorta in vitro.
Contractions induced by TAME-esterase on rat aorta strips mounted in vitro were significantly inhibited in presence of Vitamin C. The work lends support to the role of ascorbic acid in preventing endothelial dysfunction through release of nitric oxide. It is suggested that conclusions TAME-esterase could be an important biological marker associated with onset of vascular discases such as hypert...
متن کاملDifference in signal transduction mechanisms involved in 5-hydroxytryptamine- and U46619-induced vasoconstrictions.
In order to elucidate the signal transduction pathways of vascular smooth muscle contractions induced by stimulation of receptors for 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and thromboxane A2 (TXA2), both of which are released from activated platelets, we examined whether protein kinases, such as tyrosine kinase, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and protein kinase C (PKC), are involved in the co...
متن کاملVasorelaxatory Effect of Vitis vinifera Extract on Rat Aorta
Reports have shown the antioxidant, hypotensive, hypolipidemic and vasodilatory effects of grape (Vitis vinifera L.) seed extract. We have recently shown the relaxatory effect of grape leaf extract on rat uterus and reduction of frog heart rate and contractility. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relaxant effect of Vitis vinifera leaf hydroalcoholic extract (VLHE) on rat thora...
متن کاملEffects of dual-action genistein derivatives on relaxation in rat aorta.
Protein tyrosine kinases and nitric oxide (NO) play important roles in several cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we examined the actions of two compounds, each has structure of genistein (a tyrosine kinase inhibitor) and an NO donor, on endothelium-independent relaxation responses in the isolated rat aorta. By rational drug design, genistein was modified to acquire an NO donor, and we syn...
