Abstract:
:The effect of genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, on nitroglycerin-induced relaxation was examined in rat aortic rings contracted by phenylephrine. In rat aortic rings, genistein (10(-5) M and 3x10(-5) M), a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, but not daidzein, an analogue of genistein, increased relaxation induced by nitroglycerin in a concentration-dependent manner. Iberiotoxin, an inhibitor of Ca2+ -activated K+ channels, inhibited the relaxation induced by nitroglycerin, but it did not affect the effect of genistein. Glibenclamide, an inhibitor of ATP-sensitive K+ channels, did not affect the relaxation induced by nitroglycerin. Theophylline, an inhibitor of cyclic AMP-dependent phosphodiesterase, increased the relaxation induced by nitroglycerin, and genistein (10(-5) M) failed to affect the relaxation induced by nitroglycerin in the presence of theophylline. Genistein also inhibited the activity of cyclic AMP-dependent phosphodiesterase. In addition, 6-[4-(4'-pyridyl)amino phenyl]-4,5-dihydro-3(2H)-pyridazinone hydrochloride, an inhibitor of cyclic GMP-inhibitable cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase, inhibited the relaxation induced by nitroglycerin. These results suggest that, in the rat aortic rings, genistein inhibits cyclic AMP-dependent phosphodiesterase activities, resulting in the increase of the relaxation induced by nitroglycerin.
