Effect of calcium entry blockers and adenosine on the relaxation of large and small coronary arteries 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The mechanism(s) by which adenosine causes dilation of the vascular smooth muscle is not properly understood. Several mechanisms including the inhibition of calcium influx and intracellular translocation have been suggested for its action. This study is an attempt to further elucidate the site of action of adenosine in relation to calcium by making use of calcium entry blockers. Large (1 +/- 0.2 mm, o.d.) and small (0.5 +/- 0.2 mm, o.d.) branches of bovine left anterior descending coronary artery (LADCA) contracted with 50 mM K+ were used as a model for these studies. Concentration-response curves for various calcium entry blockers were obtained and the order of potency was found to be: D-600 greater than nifedipine greater than verapamil greater than diltiazem greater than lidoflazine for large branches and nifedipine greater than D-600 greater than verapamil greater than lidoflazine greater than diltiazem for small branches of LADCA. The concentration-response relationship for adenosine (10(-6)-10(-4) M) in the presence and absence of these drugs (10(-9)-10(-7) M) was unchanged. 8-phenyltheophylline (2 X 10(-5) M), an adenosine receptor antagonist was without an effect on the relaxations induced by various calcium entry blockers, however, it antagonized the relaxing response to adenosine. Lidoflazine at concentrations of 7 X 10(-7) M and 2 X 10(-7) M potentiated the effect of adenosine in relaxing the large and small LADCA, respectively. In summary, the data show an increased sensitivity of small coronary vessels to nifedipine, D-600 and lidoflazine. The data further suggest a different site of action for adenosine and calcium entry blockers. 相似文献

The extent to which the normal increase in stroke volume during exercise can be augmented by increasing preload by dextran infusion was studied in seven dogs. Each dog ran 3 min on a level treadmill at mild (3-4 mph), moderate (6-8 mph), and severe (9-13 mph) loads during the control study and immediately after 10% dextran 14 ml/kg iv. During severe exercise dextran-augmented stroke volume (+5.4 ml or 19% vs. exercise without dextran, P less than 0.01) and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and pressure did not change heart rate, aortic pressure, or maximum derivative of left ventricular pressure but decreased systemic vascular resistance by 16%. Similar increases in stroke volume and preload after dextran occurred during mild and moderate exercise when arterial pressure and heart rate were unchanged or increased and systemic vascular resistance was decreased. Thus altering preload above those levels normally encountered during exercise is a potential mechanism to increase stroke volume and cardiac output. 相似文献

The effect of calcium channel blockers (CCBs) on type 2 diabetes is still unclear. The present study was undertaken to examine the efficacy of nifedipine, a dihydropyridine CCB, on obesity, glucose intolerance and vascular endothelial dysfunction in db/db mice (a mouse model of obesity and type 2 diabetes). db/db mice, fed high-fat diet (HFD) were treated with vehicle, nifedipine (10 mg kg(-1) day(-1)) or hydralazine (5 mg kg(-1) day(-1)) for 4 weeks, and the protective effects were compared. Although nifedipine and hydralazine exerted similar blood pressure lowering in db/db mice, neither affected body weight, fat weight, and glucose intolerance of db/db mice. However, nifedipine, but not hydralazine, significantly improved vascular endothelial function in db/db mice, being accompanied by more attenuation of vascular superoxide by nifedipine than hydralazine. These protective effects of nifedipine were attributed to the attenuation of eNOS uncoupling as shown by the prevention of vascular endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) dimer disruption, and the prevention of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) downregulation, the key enzyme responsible for eNOS uncoupling. Moreover, nifedipine, but not hydralazine, significantly prevented the decreases in phosphorylation of vascular akt and eNOS in db/db mice. Our work provided the first evidence that nifedipine prevents vascular endothelial dysfunction, through the inhibition of eNOS uncoupling and the enhancement of eNOS phosphorylation, independently of blood pressure-lowering effect. We propose that nifedipine may be a promising therapeutic agent for cardiovascular complications in type 2 diabetes. 相似文献

This study investigated the effects of the calcium channel blockers nifedipine (a dihydropyridine) and verapamil (a papaverine derivative), on aldosterone production utilizing isolation of the early and late phases of aldosterone biosynthesis. Pregnenolone production (the early phase of aldosterone biosynthesis) was assessed in trilostane-treated bovine glomerulosa cells, used to inhibit the conversion of pregnenolone onwards to aldosterone. Conversion of exogenous corticosterone to aldosterone, an index of late phase activity, was assessed using aminoglutethimide to inhibit endogenous aldosterone production. Low concentrations of nifedipine, 10(-11)-10(-9) M, stimulated basal total aldosterone biosynthesis by enhancing the late phase although the early phase was inhibited. In the presence of 12 mM potassium (K+), which is less effective in stimulating aldosterone production than lower K+ concentrations, aldosterone production was enhanced by nifedipine, 10(-8) M, by an effect on the late phase. At K+ 6 and 8 mM, nifedipine, 10(-4) M, inhibited the early phase. Nifedipine 10(-5) inhibited angiotensin II (AII)-stimulated total aldosterone biosynthesis by independent effects on the early and late phases. Verapamil, 10(-4) M, inhibited total and early phase aldosterone production at K+, 4 mM and inhibited both phases at K+, 8 mM, stimulation was not observed using verapamil. Verapamil, 10(-4) M, also inhibited AII-stimulated aldosterone production. Basal and AII-stimulated pregnenolone production were inhibited by verapamil, 10(-4) M (basal) and 10(-6) M (AII-stimulated). These studies using nifedipine have revealed subtle calcium-dependent mechanisms involved in the tonic inhibition of activity in the late phase of aldosterone biosynthesis and the reversal of the inhibitory effect of high K+ concentrations also on the late phase. In addition, the data reported indicate that both AII and K+ independently enhance activity in the early and late phases of aldosterone production by calcium-dependent mechanisms. 相似文献

Different vascular models of normotensive Wistar rats, including aortic strips, isolated perfused mesentery and isolated perfused kidney, were used to study hemodynamic effects of plasma fractions obtained by gel filtration from the blood of essential hypertensive and normotensive subjects. Plasma fractions from essential hypertensives studied had been shown to increase blood pressure after intravenous injection in rats. In the aortic strips, 50 microliters of a hypertensive fraction (HF) elicited a calcium-dependent contraction of 0.14 +/- 0.035 mN (n = 20, p less than 0.05), which was inhibited by nifedipine, whereas tension of the strips was not significantly changed by normotensive fractions (NF) (n = 17). In the isolated perfused mesentery preparation, no significant change of perfusion pressure by HF or NF could be demonstrated (n = 10). In the isolated perfused kidney, a transient increase of perfusion pressure was induced by HF (19.5 +/- 16.6 mm Hg, n = 40, P less than 0.001) but not by NF. This increase was abolished in calcium-free, 2 mmol/l EGTA containing perfusion medium. The response was diminished, but not abolished by nifedipine. These data demonstrate vasopressor properties of plasma from essential hypertensives, which might be the consequence of a circulating vasoconstrictor substance in the blood of essential hypertensives. 相似文献

Transfer function analysis of blood pressure and cerebral blood flow in humans demonstrated that cerebrovascular autoregulation operates most effectively for slow fluctuations in perfusion pressure, not exceeding a frequency of approximately 0.15 Hz. No information on the dynamic properties of cerebrovascular autoregulation is available in rats. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that cerebrovascular autoregulation in rats is also most effective for slow fluctuations in perfusion pressure below 0.15 Hz. Normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (n = 10) were instrumented with catheters in the left common carotid artery and jugular vein and flow probes around the right internal carotid artery. During isoflurane anesthesia, fluctuations in cerebral perfusion pressure were elicited by periodically occluding the abdominal aorta at eight frequencies ranging from 0.008 Hz to 0.5 Hz. The protocol was repeated during inhibition of myogenic vascular function (nifedipine, 0.25 mg/kg body wt iv). Increases in cerebral perfusion pressure elicited initial increases in cerebrovascular conductance and decreases in resistance. At low occlusion frequencies (<0.1 Hz), these initial responses were followed by decreases in conductance and increases in resistance that were abolished by nifedipine. At occlusion frequencies of 0.1 Hz and above, the gains of the transfer functions between pressure and blood flow and between pressure and resistance were equally high in the control and nifedipine trial. At occlusion frequencies below 0.1 Hz, the gains of the transfer functions decreased twice as much under control conditions than during nifedipine application. We conclude that dynamic autoregulation of cerebral blood flow is restricted to very low frequencies (<0.1 Hz) in rats. 相似文献

急性低氧下钙阻断剂对左,右心泵功能的影响 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
在20条麻醉开胸狗上,用RM-6000多道仪同步记录左心室内峰压(LVP)、左室压力变化率(L+dP/dt_(max))、右心室内峰压(RVP)、右室压力变化率(R±dp/dt_(max))、肺动脉压力(P_(Pa))、主动脉血流每搏峰值(Fa)、心率(HR)等各项生理指标,观察钙通道阻断剂Nife-dipine,Diltiazem和Verapamil对左、右心室功能影响。在钙通道阻断剂处理后,左室的LVP,L±dp/dt_(max)下降,而Fa增加;右室的RVF,R±dp/dt_(max)和P_(Pa)均有升高趋势,显示钙通道阻断剂对左、右心泵功能的影响不同。这可能提示左、右心室功能对钙离子的依赖程度不同。在急性低氧状态下,此三种钙阻断剂均使急性低氧引起LVP的增加反应消失,Fa增加明显,Verapamil和Diltiazem有减轻急性低氧引起的RVP和P_(Pa)的增压作用。从这些钙通道阻断剂对左右心泵功能影响的比较来看,Diltiazem比Verapamil和Nifedipine对急性低氧状态下的心泵功能有较好的作用。 相似文献

The effects of the three dihydropyridine calcium channel agonists (+/-)BAY K 8644, (+)202-791 and (+/-)CGP 28392 on 45Ca++ uptake were studied in cultures of rabbit aortic smooth muscle cells. At 10(-7) M each agonist enhanced 45Ca++ uptake in 15-50 mM K+ but had no effect on the basal 45Ca++ uptake at 5 mM K+. At the uptake threshold of 15 mM K+ each agonist potentiated 45Ca++ uptake in a dose-dependent manner with half maximal effects at 2.4 nM for (+/-)BAY K 8644, 22 nM for (+)202-791 and 18 nM for (+/-)CGP 28392. The agonists showed no significant antagonistic activity. Responses were antagonized competitively by nifedipine and non-competitively by (+/-)D-600. The 45Ca++ uptake dose-response curves and the half maximal effects of the three agonists were over the same range of concentrations as their inhibition of [3H]nitrendipine binding to rat ventricular receptor membrane preparations. The data suggest that these cells mimic the calcium uptake by the intact aorta better than commercial vascular smooth muscle lines or cardiac cells. 相似文献

Bioenergetic and hemodynamic consequences of cellular redox manipulations by 0.2-20 mM pyruvate were compared with those due to adrenergic stress (0.7-1.1 microM norepinephrine) using isolated working guinea-pig hearts under the conditions of normoxia, low-flow ischemia, and reperfusion. 5 mM glucose (+ 5 U/l insulin) + 5 mM lactate were the basal energy-yielding substrates. To stabilize left ventricular enddiastolic pressure, ventricular filling pressure was held at 12 cmH2O under all conditions; this preload control minimized Frank-Starling effects on ventricular inotropism. Global low-flow ischemia was induced by reducing aortic pressure to levels (20-10 cmH2O) below the coronary autoregulatory reserve. Reactants of the creatine kinase, including H+ and other key metabolites, were measured by enzymatic, HPLC, and polarographic techniques. In normoxic hearts, norepinephrine stimulations of inotropism, heart rate x pressure product, and oxygen consumption (MVO2) were associated with a fall in the cytosolic phosphorylation potential [( ATP]/[( ADP].[Pi]] as judged by the creatine kinase equilibrium. In contrast, infusion of excess pyruvate (5 mM) markedly increased [ATP]/[( ADP].[Pi]) and ventricular work output, while intracellular phosphate decreased; MVO2 remained constant under the same conditions. During reperfusion following ischemia, pyruvate effected striking and concentration-dependent increases in MVO2, phosphorylation potential, and inotropism. Pyruvate dehydrogenase flux was augmented during reperfusion hyperemia followed by near-complete recoveries of [ATP]/([ADP].[Pi]), contractile force, heart rate x pressure product, and MVO2 in the presence of 5-10 mM pyruvate. Pyruvate also attenuated ischemic adenylate degradation. Omission of glucose from the perfusion medium rendered pyruvate ineffective in postischemic hearts. Similarly, excess lactate (5-15 mM) or acetate (5 mM) failed to reenergize reperfused hearts and severe depressions of MVO2 and inotropism developed despite the presence of glucose. Apparently, subcellular redox manipulations by pyruvate dissociated stimulated mitochondrial respiration and increased inotropism from low cytosolic phosphorylation potentials. This was evidence against the extramitochondrial [ADP].[Pi]/[ATP] ratio being the primary factor in the control of mitochondrial respiration. The mechanism of pyruvate enhancement of inotropism during normoxia and reperfusion is probably multifactorial. Thermodynamic effects on subcellular [NADH]/[NAD+] ratios are coupled with a rise in the cytosolic [ATP]/[( ADP].[Pi]) ratio at constant (normoxia) or increased (reperfusion) MVO2.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

OBJECTIVE--To determine the effects of the beta 1 selective adrenoceptor blocker atenolol, the dihydropyridine calcium antagonist nifedipine, and the combination of atenolol plus nifedipine on objective and subjective measures of walking performance and foot temperature in patients with intermittent claudication. DESIGN--Randomised controlled double blind four way crossover trial. SETTING--Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield. SUBJECTS--49 patients (40 men) aged 39-70 with chronic stable intermittent claudication. INTERVENTIONS--Atenolol 50 mg twice daily; slow release nifedipine 20 mg twice daily; atenolol 50 mg plus slow release nifedipine 20 mg twice daily; placebo. Each treatment was given for four weeks with no washout interval between treatments. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES--Claudication and walking distances on treadmill; skin temperature of feet as measured by thermistor and probe; blood pressure before and after exercise; subjective assessments of walking difficulty and foot coldness with visual analogue scales. RESULTS--Atenolol did not significantly alter claudication distance (mean change -6%; 95% confidence interval 1% to -13%), walking distance (-2%; 4% to -8%), or foot temperature. Nifedipine did not alter claudication distance (-4%; 3% to -11%), walking distance (-4%; 3% to -10%), or foot temperature. Atenolol plus nifedipine did not alter claudication distance but significantly reduced walking distance (-9%; -3% to -15% (p less than 0.003)) and skin temperature of the more affected foot (-1.1 degrees C; 0 to -2.2 degrees C (p = 0.05)). These effects on walking distance and foot temperature seemed unrelated to blood pressure changes. CONCLUSIONS--There was no evidence of adverse or beneficial effects of atenolol or nifedipine, when given singly, on peripheral vascular disease. The combined treatment, however, affected walking ability and foot temperature adversely. This may have been due to beta blockade plus reduced vascular resistance, which might also explain the reported adverse effects of pindolol and labetalol on claudication. 相似文献

Experiments were carried out to determine the importance of extra- and intracellular calcium for the deformability of granulocytes during filtration tests. At low calcium concentration (0.1 mM), granulocytes are more deformable than at the physiological free-calcium concentration of 1.25 mM. Increasing calcium concentrations up to 10 mM do not further impair the deformability. Parallel measurements of the intracellular calcium concentration by means of the fura fluorescence method were performed to explain this. Extracellular calcium concentrations between 1.25 mM and 10 mM had no influence on the intracellular calcium level. A lower extracellular calcium concentration (0.1 mM), however, decreased the intracellular calcium level. Therefore, the measurements of the intracellular calcium concentrations are consistent with the deformability results. Studies with the calcium entry blocker nifedipine suggested that a low intracellular calcium improves the deformability of granulocytes. It is concluded; (i) the physiological calcium concentration of 1.25 mM is stressful for isolated granulocytes, and (ii) the intracellular calcium level plays a crucial role in granulocyte deformability, i.e. the lower the intracellular calcium concentration the greater the deformability. 相似文献

We have investigated the effects of clinically available calcium channel blockers (nifedipine, verapamil and diltiazem) on isoproterenol stimulated cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) generation in intact human lymphocytes. After preincubation of various calcium antagonists with intact lymphocytes at 37 degrees C for 15 minutes, 10 microM nifedipine or verapamil partially inhibited isoproterenol induced cyclic AMP generation in the presence of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor (3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine) while they alone had no effect on cyclic AMP level at a concentration of up to 100 microM. In contrast, 10 nM-1.0 microM nifedipine, verapamil or diltiazem potentiated cyclic AMP generation induced by isoproterenol in a dose dependent manner. Similar results were observed in the time course studies of cyclic AMP generation. These effects are somewhat similar to the effect of phenothiazine, a calmodulin inhibitor, which, at 10 microM (close to IC50), also potentiated the effects of isoproterenol. In contrast, lanthanum chloride (LaCl3), an extracellular inorganic calcium antagonist, at 1.0 mM, inhibited isoproterenol induced cyclic AMP generation. The biochemical mechanisms underlying these potentiating effects are unknown. It may be partly related to the effect of calcium channel blockers (at least for nifedipine) on preventing beta 2 adrenergic receptor desensitization. This may provide a potential mechanism for the synergistic effect between calcium channel blockers and beta 2 adrenoceptor agonists on bronchial dilatation. 相似文献

Concentration-dependent effects of BRX-005, the novel heat shock protein coinducer, cardioprotective and vasoprotective agent, on intracellular calcium transients and contractility were studied in Langendorff-perfused guinea pig hearts loaded with the fluorescent calcium indicator dye Fura-2. BRX-005 increased peak left ventricular pressure, the rate of force development and relaxation significantly in a concentration-dependent manner. The amplitude of [Ca2+]i transients was left unaltered by the drug. In contrast to BRX-005, bimoclomol increased both contractility and the amplitude of [Ca2+]i transients. In canine ventricular cardiomyocytes high concentrations of BRX-005 had no effect on depolarization, whereas bimoclomol suppressed action potential upstroke markedly. In guinea pig pulmonary artery preparations precontracted with phenylephrine, BRX-005 induced concentration-dependent relaxation. This effect of BRX-005 was independent of the integrity of endothelium indicating that vasorelaxant effect of the drug develops directly on vascular smooth muscle. 相似文献

The purpose of the present study was to explore the biological effects and mechanism of interleukin-2 (IL-2) on the isolated rat heart. The results showed that hrIL-2 increased the number of premature ventricular contraction, heart rate, left ventricular developed pressure, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and coronary flow in the isolated perfused rat heart. Heat inactivated hrIL-2 had no effect on the heart. Pretreatment with ryanodine canceled the positive effects of hrIL-2 on left ventricular developed pressure, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and coronary flow but had no effects on arrhythmogenesis and tachycardia by hrIL-2. Pretreatment with nifedipine or low extracellular calcium abolished the arrhythmogenic effect of hrIL-2 and attenuated partially the augment of heart rate, left ventricular developed pressure, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and coronary flow. It suggests that the cardiac activity of hrIL-2 depended on the integrity of its spatial structure and transmembrane influx Ca2+ and intracellularly stored Ca2+ were involved in the cardiac activity of hrIL-2. 相似文献

Cytosolic free calcium levels in monolayers of cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells. Effects of angiotensin II and vasopressin 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
A rise in cytosolic free calcium ([Ca2+]i) is thought to be the principal mediator in vascular smooth muscle contraction. Quantitative changes of [Ca2+]i in response to two vasoconstrictor peptide hormones, angiotensin II and vasopressin, were directly measured in monolayers of adherent cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells loaded with the fluorescent calcium indicator Quin 2. Angiotensin II induced rapid, concentration-dependent rises in [Ca2+]i from 1.53 +/- 0.27 X 10(-7) (n = 16) up to 1.2 X 10(-6) M, with ED50 of 0.45 X 10(-9) M, an effect which was blocked by the antagonist analogue [Sar1, Ala8]angiotensin II. Vasopressin also elicited transient rises in [Ca2+]i to peak levels of about 8 X 10(-7) M, with ED50 of 1.05 X 10(-9) M, and this response was completely abolished by a vasopressor antagonist. In calcium-free medium, basal [Ca2+]i levels fell to 0.92 +/- 0.24 X 10(-7) M (n = 4), and both hormones were still able to raise [Ca2+]i, although to a lesser extent. Readdition of extracellular calcium following the [Ca2+]i transient induced a second, slower [Ca2+]i rise. In calcium-containing medium, lanthanum ion (2 X 10(-5) M) reduced peptide-evoked [Ca2+]i rises to the values observed in calcium-free medium. Stimulation with each peptide completely desensitized the smooth muscle cells to a subsequent identical challenge, with little crosstachyphylaxis. Potassium ion (50 mM) only minimally affected [Ca2+]i levels. The calcium channel blocker nifedipine (10(-6) M) did not prevent the [Ca2+]i rises induced by angiotensin II, vasopressin, or potassium. These findings indicate that the two physiologically important vasoconstrictor hormones angiotensin II and vasopressin rapidly raise [Ca2+]i in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells, in part by mobilizing calcium from intracellular pools and in part through activation of receptor-operated calcium channels. 相似文献

Glyburide, also known as glibenclamide, was shown to have positive inotropic effect in human and animal hearts. The objectives of the present study was to investigate the effects of glyburide on developed left ventricular pressure (DLVP), coronary flow (CF), and heart rate (HR), in isolated rabbit heart as well as its effects on myocardial contractility and L-type calcium current, iCa, in guinea pig myocytes. Rabbit hearts were mounted on Langendorff apparatus and perfused with an oxygenated Krebs for 30 min until reaching steady state to be followed by 20 min of experimental perfusion divided into 5 min of control perfusion and 15 min of perfusion with Glyburide (10 M). Ventricular myocytes were isolated by enzymatic dispersion technique and superfused in an oxygenated Tyrode solution. Cells were voltage-clamped at holding potential –40 mV to inactivate Na+ current and a step depolarizations, 200 msec duration, to 0 mV was applied to elicit iCa. The contractions of the myocytes were measured by optical methods. Glyburide significantly increased DLVP by 30% and CF by 36% but had no effect on HR. Glyburide increased cell contractility by 7 ± 6, 18 ± 7, 28 ± 9 and 54 ± 15% for 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 M respectively, p < 0.001. Meanwhile it depressed iCa by 9 ± 6 and 19 ± 8% for 1 and 10 M respectively. In conclusion, glyburide increased contractility of guinea pig single myocytes and of isolated rabbit heart, as indicated by increased developed left ventricular pressure while it depressed iCa. It is hypothesized that an elevation in intracellular calcium, which caused increased myocardial contractility, could be attributed to an increase in intracellular Na+ that could increase intracellular calcium via Na+/Ca2+ exchange. 相似文献

Increasing of extracellular sodium concentration up to 200 mM diminishes heart damage under "calcium paradox". Phosphocreatine (10(-4) M) potentiates the effect of high sodium perfusion media; in this case myoglobin release from the myocardium is minimal (5-9% of control). An the same time, ATP and phosphocreatine concentrations and oxidation to phosphorylation coupling in mitochondria remain at a sufficiently high level. Elevation of osmotic pressure by the effect of 120 mM sucrose enhances heart damage under "calcium paradox" both in the presence and absence of phosphocreatine. The protective effects of superhigh (200 mM) sodium concentrations and phosphocreatine are completely reversed by strophanthin or decreasing K+ concentration down to 0.5 mM. 相似文献
