Role of oxidative stress and nitric oxide in regulation of spontaneous tone in aorta of DOCA-salt hypertensive rats.

Abstract:

:1. The roles of nitric oxide (NO), superoxide anion (O(2)(-)), and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) in the modulation of spontaneous tone were investigated in isolated aorta from deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertensive rats. 2. Increases in preload from 1 to 5 g were accompanied by increases in spontaneous tone in aortic rings from DOCA-salt hypertensive rats but not from SHAM-normotensive rats. 3. Tone was higher in endothelium-denuded aortic rings than in endothelium-intact vessels. Inhibition of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) with 300 microM N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME) increased spontaneous tone. 4. Basal O(2)(-) generation was higher in aortic rings from DOCA-salt hypertensive rats than in those from SHAM-normotensive rats. Stretch increased O(2)(-) levels even further in the DOCA-salt group. In rings isolated from DOCA-salt hypertensive rats, administration of the O(2)(-) scavenger, superoxide dismutase (SOD, 150 U ml(-1)), or the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-oxidase inhibitor, apocynin (100 microM), completely abolished the development of spontaneous tone in endothelium-intact aortic rings but not in endothelium-denuded or in L-NAME-treated rings. SOD and apocynin decreased the generation of O(2)(-) in endothelium-intact, endothelium-denuded, and L-NAME-treated aortic rings. 5. Oral treatment of DOCA-salt hypertensive rats with the O(2)(-) scavengers, tempol or tiron, or with apocynin for 3 weeks prevented the development of hypertension and abolished the increases in O(2)(-) generation and spontaneous tone. 6. Administration of catalase (1000 U ml(-1)) to aortic rings increased spontaneous tone in vessels from DOCA-salt hypertensive rats. 7. Administration of the cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor, valeroyl salicylate, or the thromboxane/prostaglandin antagonist, SQ 29548, to aortic rings abolished tone. 8. The results suggest that NO plays a major role in preventing the generation of spontaneous tone in isolated aortic rings from DOCA-salt hypertensive rats. NADPH-oxidase-derived O(2)(-) enhanced spontaneous tone by inactivating NO. Endogenous H(2)O(2) appears to mitigate the increase in tone. In addition, a COX component may also contribute to spontaneous tone.
