Alteration in endothelial function and modulation by treatment with pioglitazone in rabbit renal artery from short-term hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract：

:The present study was undertaken to investigate endothelial function and epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which is a cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase (CYP) metabolite and one of the candidates as an endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) in the renal artery isolated from short-term hypercholesterolemic rabbits, and also to characterize the effects of pioglitazone on it. Rabbits were fed normal, 0.5% cholesterol chow, or 0.5% cholesterol chow plus 300 ppm pioglitazone for 5 weeks. The tension of isolated renal artery rings was measured isometrically. Serum lipid levels were measured and morphometric analysis was performed. EET contents in the renal artery were also determined. The cholesterol chow diet for 5 weeks increased serum lipid levels, and pioglitazone had no influence on it. In the phenylephrine precontracted renal artery, the cholesterol chow did not affect acetylcholine-induced relaxation. The N(G)-nitro-l-arginine- and indomethacin-resistant endothelium-dependent relaxation induced by acetylcholine was significantly enhanced in rabbits receiving the cholesterol chow as compared to rabbits receiving the control diet, and pioglitazone normalized it. The resistant part of acetylcholine-induced relaxation was significantly inhibited when the renal artery was treated with charybdotoxin, an inhibitor of large- and intermediate-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels, or N,N-di-ethylaminoethyl-2,2-diphenylvalerate hydrochloride (SKF 525a), a nonselective CYP inhibitor, and it was significantly inhibited by sulfaphenazole, a selective CYP2C9 inhibitor in rabbits receiving only the cholesterol chow. In KCl-precontracted renal artery, the cholesterol chow inhibited acetylcholine-induced relaxation and pioglitazone normalized it. The cholesterol chow increased the production of EETs and reduced nitrate/nitrite contents in the renal artery, and pioglitazone strongly suppressed them. These results suggest that the EETs may be one of the EDHFs in the rabbit renal artery and beneficial effects of pioglitazone on alterations in endothelial function induced by cholesterol feeding are due, in part, to the protective action on the nitric oxide system and/or the suppression of increased production of EETs.
