Characterization of the NTPDase activities in the mesentery pre- and post-capillary circuits of the guinea pig.

Abstract：

:NTPDase is one of the principal enzymes involved in the sequential hydrolysis of ATP. In the present study, the presence and functionality of NTPDase in the mesenteric vein and artery were examined. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) (0.01-1000 pmol) induces a dose-dependent vasodilation in the isolated arterial and venous mesenteric vasculatures of the guinea pig. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) (0.01-1000 pmol) but not adenosine monophosphate (AMP) (0.01-1000 pmol) induces a similar response in the mesenteric vascular circuit. L-NAME, a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor (200 microM, 30 min), significantly reduces the arterial dilatory effect of ATP and abolishes the responses to ADP and AMP. Complete removal of the endothelium with 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl) dimethylammonio]-1-propansulfonate (CHAPS) (20 mM, 2 x 45 s) abolishes ATP-induced responses. Infusion of ATP in the vascular circuit generated detectable amounts of ADP and AMP, as measured by HPLC. CHAPS treatment significantly reduced the level of ATP and the production of AMP in the arterial mesenteric circuit. In contrast to the arterial mesenteric vasculature, endothelium removal in the venous circuit triggered a marked potentiation of ADP release and, interestingly, a marked reduction in the release of AMP. Moreover, a specific inhibitor of NTP diphosphohydrolase, 1-hydroxynaphthlene-3,6-disulfonic acid BGO 136 (10 mM for 20 min), significatively reduced AMP production in both vascular preparations. These results confirm that the endothelium contributes to the vasoactive properties of ATP, ADP, and AMP. Our data also demonstrated a significant role of endothelium in NTPDase activity on ADP and AMP production prior to exogenous administration of ATP. The activity of this particular enzyme appears to be different from the reaction products viewpoint (i.e., the production of ADP) in the pre- and post-mesenteric circuits, suggesting two different isoforms with different substrate specificities.
