慢性缺氧对肺动脉内皮依赖性和非内皮依赖性舒张反应的影响

本实验用生物测定法观察了模拟海拔5000m高度连续缺氧20d对大鼠肺动脉内皮依赖性和非内皮依赖性舒张反应的影响。结果显示慢性缺氧明显抑制了肺内和肺外动脉对乙酰胆碱、ATP、硝普钠和异丙肾上腺素舒张反应的敏感性和反应性。在浓度为10~(-6)mol/L时,缺氧组大鼠肺内动脉对乙酰胆碱、硝普钠和异丙肾上腺素的舒张反应分别只有对照组大鼠的61.3％、75.9％和61.7％,对浓度为1.8×10~(-5)mol/L的ATP的舒张反应只有对照组大鼠的64.9％。研究表明,ATP和乙酰胆碱主要是通过内皮舒张因子使肺动脉产生内皮依赖性舒张反应,硝普钠和异丙肾上腺素分别通过直接激活血管平滑肌细胞鸟苷酸环化酶和β受体使血管产生非内皮依赖性舒张反应。缺氧同时抑制了肺动脉内皮依赖性和非内皮依赖性舒张反应,提示慢性缺氧可能抑制了正常肺内舒血管活性物质的生理作用。

三羟异黄酮对离体家兔股动脉张力的影响及其机制

植物雌激素三羟异黄酮（genistein,GST)使离体的预先收缩的动脉舒张,其舒张的机制仍然不完全清楚。本研究旨在观察植物雌激素三羟异黄酮对离体家兔股动脉的作用及其机制,结果如下：（1）在苯肾上腺素（PE,1umol/L)引起血管收缩的基础上,GST（10－40umol/L)剂量依赖性地舒张离体家兔股动脉;（2）去除血管内皮显著地抑制GST引起的舒张;（3）在内皮完整情况下,预先应用NOS抑制剂L－NAME（100umol/L)也可显著地抑制GST引起的舒张,提示GST的舒血管作用是内皮依赖的,并与一氧化氮有关;（4）在内皮完整的扣去除内皮的股动脉环,预先应用L－型钙通道激动剂Bay M8644(0.5umol/L)也显著抑制由GST引起的血管舒张,以上结果表明,GST引起的兔股动脉的舒张是部分内皮依赖的,且与拮抗钙有关。

过氧亚硝基阴离子诱导离体兔肺动脉舒张反应的特性

实验用离体血管环张力测定技术,观察过氧亚硝基阴离子（ONOO）对离体预收缩的兔肺动脉的舒张反应、肺动脉内皮细胞对舒张反应的影响,并初步探讨其病理意义。结果显示,ONOO可剂量依赖性引起预收缩兔肺动脉舒张。分解的ONOO也有舒张作用,但其效应明显低于ONOO的作用,比较观察表明,ONOO的舒张效应显著低于硝普钠（SNP）和乙酰胆碱（ACh)。与内皮完整2的肺动脉比较,ONOO对去内皮肺动脉的舒张作用明显增加,剂量依赖性舒张反应曲线明显左移。肺动脉对ONOO重复作用时的舒张反应有递减趋势。在本实验条件下,ONOO舒张前后的肺动脉,对ACh的舒张反应无明差异。结果表明,ONOO对肺动脉的舒张作用较弱,此作用受到内皮细胞的抑制性调节并有快速去敏性。     

多种因素参与了脂多糖诱导兔肺动脉反应性的变化

为探讨内毒素休克时肺动脉高压的发生机制,实验观察了N-乙酰半胱氨酸(N-acetylcysteine,NAC)、NO及CO在脂多糖(lipopolysaccharide,LPS)诱导的肺动脉反应性变化中的作用.用雄性家兔24只,制备约3 mm宽的肺动脉环.实验结果显示LPS孵育7 h后,肺动脉对1 μmol/L乙酰胆碱介导的内皮依赖性舒张反应降低,但对非内皮依赖性舒张剂硝普钠的反应性无明显改变.自由基清除剂(NAC)、L-精氨酸(NO供体)和氯化血红素(CO供体)可分别减轻LPS的上述作用.而应用血红素氧合酶-1(heme oxygenase-1,HO-1)阻断剂锌原卟啉抑制CO产生后则增强LPS的上述作用.N-硝基-L-精氨酸甲酯(L-NAME,一氧化氮合酶抑制剂)抑制NO的产生后使各组肺动脉对乙酰胆碱的反应由舒张变为收缩,对1 μmol/L苯肾上腺素的收缩反应显著增强,说明NO和CO在肺动脉反应性改变中发挥重要作用.上述结果提示抗氧化或给予NO、CO可显著改善LPS引起的内皮依赖性舒张反应减弱.周此,多种因素参与了本实验中内毒素引起的肺动脉高压的发生.

Restoration of endothelin-1-induced impairment in endothelium-dependent relaxation by interleukin-10 in murine aortic rings

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is implicated in the development of endothelial dysfunction through the generation of reactive oxygen species by NADPH oxidase activation. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an antiinflammatory cytokine that stimulates nitric oxide production, decreases superoxide production, and restores endothelial integrity after vascular injury. In this study, we tested whether IL-10 attenuates ET-1-induced endothelial dysfunction by improving acetylcholine (ACh)-induced relaxation of cultured murine aortic rings. Aortic rings (2 mm long) of C57BL/6 mice were incubated in 2 mL DMEM containing 120 U/mL penicillin and 120 mug/mL streptomycin in the presence of one of 4 treatments: vehicle (deionized water), ET-1 (100 nmol/L), recombinant mouse IL-10 (300 ng/mL), or a combination of both ET-1 and IL-10. After incubation at 37 degrees C for either 1 or 6 h (short-term exposure) or 22 h (overnight exposure), rings were mounted in a wire myograph and stretched to a passive force of 5 mN. Endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation was assessed by constructing cumulative concentration-response curves to ACh (0.001-10 mumol/L) during 10 mumol/L phenylephrine (PE)-induced contraction. Short-term exposure of ET-1 did not result in an impairment of ACh-induced relaxation. Overnight exposure of aortic rings to ET-1 resulted in a statistically significant endothelial dysfunction characterized by a reduced maximal relaxation response to ACh compared with that of untreated rings (Emax 57% +/- 3% versus 82% +/- 4%). IL-10 treatment restored ACh-induced relaxation (Emax 77% +/- 3%). Western blotting showed decreased eNOS expression in response to ET-1, whereas vessels treated with a combination of ET-1 and IL-10 showed increased expression of eNOS. Immunohistochemical analysis showed decreased eNOS expression in ET-1-treated vessels compared with those treated with both ET-1 and IL-10. We conclude that, in murine aorta, the antiinflammatory cytokine IL-10 prevents impairment in endothelium-dependent relaxation induced in response to long-term incubation with ET-1 via normalization of eNOS expression.     

乙酰胆碱不依赖NO的释放引起耳蜗螺旋动脉平滑肌细胞的超极化

目的：乙酰胆碱（ACh）不仅是神经递质,也是一种有效的血管舒张物质参与许多血管床的调节活动。本实验观察ACh引起耳蜗螺旋动脉平滑肌细胞超极化的离子机制以及NO在超极化反应中的可能作用。方法：在豚鼠离体耳蜗螺旋动脉标本上,运用细胞内微电极技术记录外源性的ACh引起的反应。结果：在保持灌流液中含有5mmol／L K^＋以及最小纵向张力的情况下,ACh（0．1—10μmol／L）引起低静息膜电位细胞明显的超极化反应,而引起高静息膜电位细胞明显的去极化反应。ACh引起的平滑肌细胞超极化反应是浓度依赖性的（ACh的浓度是1μmol／L和10／μmol／L时,分别引起超极化的幅度是22和30mV,n=7）。ACh引起的超极化反应能被阿托品（atropine,0．1～1μmol／L,n=6）或DAMP（50～100nmol／L,n=6,一种选择性的地受体的拮抗剂）所阻断,同时也可被BAPTA—AM（10μmol／L,n=7,一种可通过细胞膜的Ca^2＋螯合剂）或eharybdotoxin＋apamin（50-100nmol／L,n=4,两种Ca^2＋激活K^＋通道的阻断剂）所阻断,但是Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester（L-NAME,300μmol／L,n=8,一种NO合成酶的完全抑制剂,n≥5）或glipizide（10μmol／L,ATP敏感性的K^＋通道阻断剂,n=4）或indomethacin（10μmol／L,环氧合酶的抑制剂,n=4）不能阻断ACh引起的超极化反应。结论：ACh通过激活内皮细胞的M3受体,开放钙依赖的钾通道．进而引起耳蜗螺旋动脉平滑肌细胞产生超极化反应,并且这一超极化反应与内皮细胞NO的产生和释放无关。     

Effects of spontaneous or induced brain ischemia on vessel reactivity: the role of inducible nitric oxide synthase

Short episodes of ischemia and reperfusion in various organs may protect the organ itself, and the heart both as an immediate and a delayed effect. The present study investigates whether a systemic protection of vascular function occurs during adaption to ischemia. Brain ischemia was induced by bilateral ligation of the internal carotid arteries in C57BL6 mice, and 24-36 hours later rings of the thoracic aorta were mounted to study in vitro relaxation and contraction, or proteins were extracted for immunoblotting for endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) or inducible NOS (iNOS). eNOS decreased, while iNOS increased in the aortic wall after carotid artery ligation. In vitro contraction to increasing concentrations of prostaglandin F(2alpha) (PGF(2alpha)) was attenuated, while relaxation to acetylcholine (ACh) was enhanced. The latter was abolished by the iNOS-inhibitor aminoguanidine. When brain ischemia was induced in iNOS deficient mice, an increase of aortic eNOS was found 24 hours later. The ischemia-induced attenuated relaxation to PGF(2alpha) and enhanced relaxation to ACh were abolished. Aortic rings from mice with severe atherosclerosis (apolipoprotein E and low density lipoprotein receptor double knockout (ApoE/LDLr KO) mice) and spontaneous ischemic events in the heart or brain in vivo were also studied. Spontaneous ischemic events in ApoE/LDLr KO animals did not influence iNOS and eNOS in the vessel wall. A reduced contraction to PGF(2alpha) was observed, but relaxation to ACh was unchanged. These findings suggest that induced brain ischemia as a model of delayed, remote preconditioning protects vessel reactivity, and this protection is mediated by iNOS.

目的：探讨维生素E（VitE）对癫痫大鼠认知功能障碍的治疗作用及其可能机制。方法：将30只成年雄性SD大鼠随机分为健康对照组、单纯致痫组（SE组）、VitE[按体重100mg／（kg·d）]干预组（VitE组）。采用Morris水迷宫实验方法检测致癫后大鼠学习记忆功能变化,同时检测脑组织匀浆中超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶（GSH—PX）、谷胱甘肽（GSH）、丙二醛（MDA）的水平。结果：（1）SE组大鼠寻找平台的潜伏期明显长于对照组,具有统计学意义（P〈0．05）,VitE组寻找平台的潜伏期相对于SE组显著缩短（P〈0．05）。撤离平台后,SE组大鼠在平台所在象限的停留时间明显短于对照组（P〈0．05）,VitE治疗后大鼠在平台所在象限的停留时间较SE组显著延长（P〈0．05）。（2）SE组SOD、GSH—PX、GSH显著下降,MDA明显增高,VitE干预组SOD、GSH．PX-GSH显著增高,而MDA明显下降,具有统计学意义（P〈0．05）。结论：VitE可改善癫痫持续状态后大鼠认知功能,其可能机制是通过减轻海马区的氧化应激反应减轻海马区的损伤,从而实现改善认知功能。     

Role of oxidative stress in age-related reduction of NO-cGMP-mediated vascular relaxation in SHR

The incidence of hypertension increases during the late stages of aging; however, the vascular mechanisms involved are unclear. We investigated whether the late stages of aging are associated with impaired nitric oxide (NO)-mediated vascular relaxation and enhanced vascular contraction and whether oxidative stress plays a role in the age-related vascular changes. Aging (16 mo) male spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) nontreated or treated for 8 mo with the antioxidant tempol (1 mM in drinking water) or vitamin E (E; 5,000 IU/kg chow) and vitamin C (C; 100 mg. kg-1. day-1 in drinking water) and adult (12 wk) male SHR were used. After the arterial pressure was measured, aortic strips were isolated from the rats for measurement of isometric contraction. The arterial pressure and phenylephrine (Phe)-induced vascular contraction were enhanced, and the ACh-induced vascular relaxation and nitrite/nitrate production were reduced in aging compared with adult rats. In aging rats, the arterial pressure was nontreated (188 +/- 4), tempol-treated (161 +/- 6), and E + C-treated (187 +/- 1 mmHg). Phe (10-5 M) caused an increase in active stress in nontreated aging rats (14.3 +/- 1.0) that was significantly (P < 0.05) reduced in tempol-treated (9.0 +/- 0.7) and E + C-treated rats (9.8 +/- 0.6 x 104 N/m2). ACh produced a small relaxation of Phe contraction in nontreated aging rats that was enhanced (P < 0.05) in tempol- and E + C-treated rats. l-NAME (10-4 M), inhibitor of NO synthase, or ODQ (10-5 M), inhibitor of cGMP production in smooth muscle, inhibited ACh relaxation and enhanced Phe contraction in tempol- and E + C-treated but not the nontreated aging rats. ACh-induced vascular nitrite/nitrate production was not different in nontreated, tempol- and E + C-treated aging rats. Relaxation of Phe contraction with sodium nitroprusside, an exogenous NO donor, was smaller in aging than adult rats but was not different between nontreated, tempol- and E + C-treated aging rats. Thus, during the late stages of aging in SHR rats, an age-related inhibition of a vascular relaxation pathway involving not only NO production by endothelial cells but also the bioavailability of NO and the smooth muscle response to NO is partially reversed during chronic treatment with the antioxidants tempol and vitamins E and C. The data suggest a role for oxidative stress in the reduction of vascular relaxation and thereby the promotion of vascular contraction and hypertension during the late stages of aging.
