The present study was executed in order to get further data on the role of vessel wall constituents in prostanoid synthesis and on the effect of anorganic constituents on it. Prostacyclin and tromboxane production of rat aortic tissue slices with intact endothelium and after mechanical as well as chemical endothelium removal were studied. The effects of hypoxia and changes in the ionic milieu on the release of these prostanoids were also examined. The tissue slices were incubated in normal or in modified Krebs-Ringer solution, bubbled with 95% O2 and 5% CO2 (with the exception of the studies in hypoxic conditions). Prostacyclin and thromboxane release was determined by specific radioimmunoassay of the stable metabolites, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and TxB2, from the incubation medium. 174 tissue samples obtained from 164 rats were studied. Mechanical removal of the endothelium increased prostacyclin production of the aortic segments about fivefolds from a basal rate of 52.9 +/- 19.4 ng/gr/min, while it had no significant effect on thromboxane release (basal rate 0.83 +/- 0.13 ng/gr/min). Treating the endothelium with 1.0 M HCl almost totally suppressed prostacyclin release. Lowering the partial oxygen tension of the incubation medium significantly decreased the production of prostacyclin, while release of TxB2 somewhat increased. Increasing the Ca2+ concentration of the medium between 0-5 mM the release of prostacyclin was augmented and the release of thromboxane was diminished. Potassium free medium caused a very large increase in prostacyclin release of the tissue slices. The results show that release of vasoactive prostanoids from isolated rat aortic wall is dependent not exclusively on the endothelium and that various methods of endothelium removal may have distinct influences on prostacyclin and thromboxane productions. The changes in anorganic constituents of the surrounding medium could massively affect prostacyclin and thromboxane production of rat aortic tissue. The alternative effects of the above listed treatments on the release of prostacyclin and thromboxane from the rat aortic wall suggest the existence of different mechanisms in the control of the production of the two major prostanoids possessing opposite physiological effects. 相似文献

Prostacyclin (PGI2), in a wide concentration range, produced neither contraction nor relaxation of isolated human saphenous vein. Isolated portal veins and vena cava from normal and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) responded only with an increase in contractile tension when exposed to PGI2. This constrictor effect was absent in a calcium-free buffer. PGI2 failed to relax KCI contracted vena cava. The constrictor effect of PGI2 on portal vein was attenuated in a glucose-free, oxygen deficient buffer. No tachyphylaxis or tolerance to the constrictor effect of PGI2 was noted. Results emphasize that PGI2 may produce differing effects on vascular smooth muscle tension depending on species and type of blood vessel studied. 相似文献

Sliced portions of the walls of human aortic aneurysms were incubated with extracts of human plasma and serum to determine the profile of prostanoid production. 6-Oxo-prostaglandin (PG) F1 alpha, PGE2, PGF2 alpha, and thromboxane (TX) B2 were measured by gas chromatography/electron capture mass spectrometry. 6-Oxo-PGF1 alpha, the stable hydrolysis product of PGI2, was the major cyclooxygenase product but substantial amounts of TXB2 (the hydrolysis product of TXA2), with smaller amounts of PGE2 and PGF2 alpha were also synthesised. These prostanoids could contribute to the response of the vascular wall to injury, thereby influencing the disease process. Serum extracts stimulated PGI2 and TXA2 synthesis, probably as a result of their Ca2+ content. 相似文献

We investigated the relationship between glucose levels and platelet thromboxane production or aortic prostacyclin production, using radioimmunoassay (RIA) to measure thromboxane B2 and 6-keto-PGF2α. We found a direct relationship (p<.05) between plasma glucose levels and thromboxane A2 production by arachidonate stimulated platelets in platelet rich plasma of normal mice. However, when mice were deprived of food overnight, the glucose level fell but the TxB2 production rose significantly. Moreover, mice with streptozotocin diabetes had significantly elevated glucose levels. but normal TxB2 production, which also rose significantly after fasting. Thus in our laboratory both fasting and diabetes nullify or reverse the direct relationship between glucose levels and TxB2 production seen in normal fed mice. This makes it diffisult to ascribe the correlation between glucose and TxB2 levels in normal fed animals to cause and effect. RIA revealed an inverse correlation between glucose levels and 6-keto-PGF1α production which was highly significant in aortas taken from fasted mice and stimulated for 10 minutes with 0.1mM arachidonate. This inverse correlation was present with either normal or diabetic aortas. Moreover, fasting increased the production of 6-keto-PGF1α. However there was a significant elevation of 6-keto production by aortas of mice with diabetes of 5–6 weeks duration, compared to aortas of normal mice. Therefore either diabetes in these mice reversed a normal inhibitory effect of glucose on 6-keto production, or else the inverse correlation between glucose levels and 6-keto production does not represent a cause and effect relationship between the two variables. 相似文献

There is growing evidence that blood vessels generate TXA2 in addition to PGI2. We examined effluents from continuously perfused human umbilical vein and supernatants from umbilical vein rings for TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha measurements (stable metabolites of TXA2 and PGI2, respectively). TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha were identified in all samples. 6-keto-PGF1 alpha to TXB2 ratio was higher in intact vein effluents than in the venous ring supernatants (112:1 and 28:1, respectively, P less than 0.01). Arachidonate stimulation increased 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and TXB2 levels similarly in the intact vein effluent. In contrast, stimulation of the venous rings resulted in a relatively larger increase in TXB2 than in 6-keto-PGF1 alpha. This caused 6-keto-PGF1 alpha to TXB2 ratio to decline (p less than 0.01). The identity of TXB2 was confirmed in several different ways. These data suggest that 1) human umbilical veins produce TXA2 in addition to PGI2, 2) TXA2 release is more by venous rings than by the intact vein probably reflecting contribution from non-endothelial layers, and 3) arachidonate stimulation causes relatively greater release of TXA2 than of PGI2 from the venous rings, whereas release of PGI2 and TXA2 is similar from the intact vein. 相似文献

Exercise at a heart rate corresponding to 30% VO2max for 15 min was associated with an increase in the volume of bleeding time blood from a mean of 133 microliters before exercise to a mean of 218 microliters during and immediately after the exercise. There was similarly an increase in thromboxane B2 production from 6.40 nmol.l-1 before to 11.50 nmol.l-1. Most subjects also showed an increase in the length of the bleeding time and in the production of bleeding time 6-keto-PGF1 alpha. The extent of increase in the bleeding time and in production of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha was quite variable, with subjects showing the largest increases in bleeding time also demonstrating the greatest increases in 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (r = 0.76, P = 0.004). The ingestion of aspirin before exercise markedly inhibited basal bleeding time thromboxane B2 production and blocked the exercise-associated increments in thromboxane B2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha production. While the aspirin itself increased the length of the bleeding time, there was not any further increase associated with exercise. In contrast to the effects of acute short-term exercise, long-distance running was associated with a significant decrease in bleeding time, but no change in bleeding time blood volume, bleeding time thromboxane B2, or bleeding time 6-keto-PGF1 alpha. The results show that acute low-level exercise can be associated with significant changes in the volume of blood oozing from a bleeding time incision and in the amount of thromboxane production stimulated at the incisional site. Following exhaustive exercise of long duration, the above changes are no longer seen. 相似文献

The preparation of a microsomal fraction from the decidual tissue of pregnant rat uteri is described. Incubation of such microsomes with a mixture of radiolabelled and cold arachidonic acid (51 micrometer) plus cofactors resulted in a 30% substrate conversion. Products were resolved into four peaks (A, B, C and D) by thin-layer chromatography. Combined gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and further thin-layer chromatography identified the products as PGF2 alpha (A); thromboxane B2 (B); a mixture of 6-OXO PGF1 alpha and PGE2 (C); PGD2 and PGE2 (D). PGE2 was the major product. 相似文献

Carnitine synthesis in rat tissue slices 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The ability of rat liver, kidney, muscle, heart and testis tissue to carry out the synthesis of carnitine via ε-N-trimethyllysine and γ-butyrobetaine was studied. All tissues formed γ-butyrobetaine from trimethyllysine, but liver and testis also formed carnitine in about 7% and 1% yield respectively. Liver slices formed trimethyllysine from lysine in about 6% yield. These studies thus establish that liver has all the enzymes of the carnitine biosynthetic pathway. This tissue appears to be the primary site of carnitine synthesis in the rat as implied from whole animal studies in this and other laboratories. 相似文献

Although thromboxane and prostacyclin (PGI2) have long been described as major controllers of pulmonary vascular resistance, little has been reported on the characteristics of the interactions between the two arachidonic acid products. The current study uses segmental vascular resistance and compliance measurements to evaluate the actions of thromboxane and PGI2 in isolated blood-perfused rat lung. The thromboxane analogue U-46619 increases pulmonary vascular resistance by increasing only small artery resistance and decreases pulmonary vascular compliance in the middle compartment. Among the vascular effects of U-46619 are a maximum increase in resistance (RmaxU-46619) of 60.3 +/- 15.6 cmH2O.l-1.min.100 g-1 and a concentration required for 50% of maximum increase (K0.5,U-46619) of 1.60 +/- 0.85 nM for small artery resistance, a minimum vascular compliance (CminU-46619) of -0.93 +/- 0.58 cmH2O, and a K0.5,U-46619 of 1.10 +/- 1.60 nM for middle compartment compliance. Similar results were obtained for total resistance and total compliance. The effects of PGI2 on thromboxane-induced resistance and compliance changes were evaluated using K0.5,PGI2, RmaxPGI2, and CmaxPGI2 at each dose of thromboxane. PGI2 was more effective in reversing the thromboxane constriction at higher concentrations of thromboxane. These data show that the absolute concentration of PGI2 and thromboxane and not a simple ratio of thromboxane to PGI2 determines vascular tone. 相似文献

It is known that peroxides, which are increased during Se deficiency because of reduced glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity,
can influence the prostacyclin I2/thromboxane A2 (PGI2/TXA2) ratio. In this study we analyzed the PGI2 and TXA2 formation of aortas of long-term Se-deficient rats. Despite low GSH-Px activity in the Se-deficient group, the basal PGI2 and TXA2 formation was not different versus control animals (PGI2: 2295 ± 1134 pg/mg vs 2940 ± 1134 pg/mg; TXA2: 3.83 ± 1.06 pg/mg vs 5.67 ± 2.99 pg/mg). However, we checked the capacity of the aortas of Se-deficient rats to compensate
for a suddenly increased peroxide concentration. After peroxide stimulation, the PGI2 release was significantly lower in the Se-deficient group compared to the control group (PGI2: 3507 ± 1829 pg/mg vs 7986 ± 2636 pg/mg). Again, the TXA2 release did not show any differences. The release ratio of PGI2/TXA2 decreased under peroxide stress in Se-deficient animals. Although long-term Se deficiency showed a relatively well-balanced
metabolism under resting conditions, sudden stress, accompanied by an excessive radical production, cannot be compensated. 相似文献

Although several investigators have attempted to measure the plasma levels of prostacyclin (PGI2) and thromboxane A2 (TXA2) in diabetes and normal subjects, their results have been controversial. In this study, we measured plasma PGI2 and TXA2 levels in diabetic patients and normal subjects. The plasma PGI2 and TXA2 were determined by RIA as 6-keto-PGF1a and TXB2, respectively. The plasma levels of 6-keto-PGF1a were significantly reduced in diabetics with microangiopathy (52.5 ± 18.9 pg/ml, mean ± SE, p<0.05) compared with those of normal subjects. Diabetics as a whole also showed lower levels of 6-keto-PGF1a than normal subjects (57.8 ± 26.1 vs. 70.2 ± 20.7 pg/ml), though this was not significant statistically. The plasma 6-keto-PGF1a levels did not significantly correlate with either age of the patients or duration of diabetes in diabetics. Interestingly, however, hemoglobin Alc significantly correlated inversely with 6-keto-PGF1a levels in diabetics without microangiopathy (r=−0.60, p<0.05). The plasma levels of TXB2 in diabetics were significantly higher than those of normal subjects (155.2 ± 69.5 vs. 108.0 ± 30.0 pg/ml, p<0.05). These data suggest that an imbalance of circulating PGI2 and TXA2 may contribute to the development of diabetic microangiopathy. 相似文献

To elucidate the relationship between the thromboxane A2/prostacyclin (TXA2/PGI2) ratio and diabetic complications, the levels of 11-dehydro-thromboxane B2 and 2,3-dinor-6-keto-prostaglandin F1alpha, the urinary metabolites of thromboxane A2 and prostacyclin, were measured in diabetics by gas chromatography/selected ion monitoring. We compared the TXA2/PGI2 ratio in healthy volunteers and diabetics. The TXA2/PGI2 ratio of diabetics was significantly higher than that of healthy volunteers and we could reconfirm the hypercoagulable condition in diabetics. We also investigated the difference of TXA2/PGI2 levels in diabetics with retinopathy and neuropathy. The TXA2/PGI2 ratio of diabetics with retinopathy showed significantly higher level than without retinopathy. However, the TXA2/PGI2 ratio of diabetics with neuropathy was the same as without neuropathy. These results suggest that the TXA2/PGI2 ratio reflects the pathological conditions of diabetes, especially the change of vasculature. The monitoring and improvement of TXA2/PGI2 ratio could be useful for the prevention of diabetic vascular complications. 相似文献

Ammonia production from glutamine was studied in slices from non-acidotic and acidotic rat kidneys. Slices from non-acidotic kidneys made 53% as much ammonia from D-glutamine as from L-glutamine during the initial 15 min of incubation. Thereafter the production rate from the L-isomer accelerated while that from the D-isomer remained constant. The accelerated rate of ammonia production from L-glutamine was dependent upon tissue swelling since prevention of swelling reduced the production rate. Swelling activates the mitochondrial glutaminase I pathway as evidenced by the rise in ammonia produced per glutamine utilized ratio as well as by the accelerated rate of CO2 production derived from the oxidative disposal of glutamin's carbon skeleton. Cortical slice swelling activates the mitochondrial pathway in a manner not unlike that seen in vivo during chronic acidosis and may reflect increased permeability to glutamine. Acidotic rat kidneys are not swollen in vivo while cortical slices initially produce 4-fold more ammonia than do non-acidotic slices. After 15 min, this 4-fold difference in total ammonia production drops to only a 2-fold difference due to the swelling-induced activation of the mitochondrial pathway. Consequently, slice swelling obliterates the important fact that ammonia production by the mitochondrial pathway is 15-fold greater in acidotic than in non-acidotic kidneys. 相似文献

Dimerization of the human receptors for prostacyclin and thromboxane facilitates thromboxane receptor-mediated cAMP generation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Prostacyclin (PGI(2)) and thromboxane (TxA(2)) are biological opposites; PGI(2), a vasodilator and inhibitor of platelet aggregation, limits the deleterious actions of TxA(2), a vasoconstrictor and platelet activator. The molecular mechanisms involved in the counterregulation of PGI(2)/TxA(2) signaling are unclear. We examined the interaction of the receptors for PGI(2) (IP) and TxA(2) (TPalpha). IP-induced cAMP and TP-induced inositol phosphate generation were unaltered when the receptors were co-expressed in HEK 293 cells (IP/TPalpha-HEK). TP-cAMP generation, in response to TP agonists or a TP-dependent isoprostane, iPE(2)III, was evident in IP/TPalpha-HEK and in aortic smooth muscle cells, but not in cells expressing either receptor alone, or in IP-deficient aortic smooth muscle cells. Augmentation of TP-induced cAMP generation, with the IP agonist cicaprost, was ablated in IP-deficient cells and was independent of direct IP signaling. IP/TPalpha heterodimers were formed constitutively when the receptors were co-expressed, with no overt changes in ligand binding to the individual receptor sites. However, despite inefficient binding of iPE(2)III to either the IP or TPalpha, expressed alone or in combination, robust cAMP generation was evident in IP/TPalpha-HEK, suggesting the formation of an alternative receptor site. Thus, IP/TPalpha dimerization was coincident with TP-cAMP generation, promoting a "PGI(2)-like" cellular response to TP activation. This represents a previously unknown mechanism by which IP may limit the cellular effects of TP. 相似文献

Tissue slices were used to compare relative peroxidation capacity of bromotrichloromethane (BrCCl3) and t-butyl hydroperoxide (BHP) by measurement of both peroxidation products and biochemical indices of damage. In liver and testes slices, BHP increased thiobarbituric acid reactive-substances (TBARS) and total aldehydes, measured as cyclohexanedione-reactive substances (CHDRS), to a greater extent than did an equimolar amount of BrCCl3. GSH was decreased more by BHP than by BrCCl3. Neither compound released lactate dehydrogenase or glutamic-pyruvicf transaminase from liver slices. Treatment of rats with cynamide, an aldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitor, increased the total CHDRS in liver slices and medium after incubation with BHP or BrCCl3. HPLC of the CHDRS showed hexanal and propanal increased to the greatest extent. The hydroperoxide, BHP, which does not require metabolism to an active species, was a better initiator of peroxidation than the halogenated hydrocarbon, BrCCl3, which must be metabolized to a radical species before it can initiate peroxidation. 相似文献
