Supplementation with tetrahydrobiopterin prevents the cardiovascular effects of angiotensin II-induced oxidative and nitrosative stress.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:The pteridine cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) has emerged as a critical determinant of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity. When BH4 availability is limited, eNOS does not produce nitric oxide (NO) but instead generates superoxide. BH4 may reverse endothelial dysfunction due to cardiovascular disease, including atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease and hypertension. In this study, the influence of BH4 on cardiovascular parameters and the production of free radicals following angiotensin II (Ang II) infusion was assessed. METHODS:BH4 (20 mg/kg per day in drinking water) was administered with Ang II (300 ng/kg per min subcutaneously, osmotic pump) for 7 days in Sprague-Dawley rats. In addition, BH4 was also given in vehicle-infused rats. RESULTS:Treatment with BH4 significantly prevented some of the effects of Ang II, such as impaired vascular responses to acetylcholine, hypertension and increases in heart weight index values. Treatment with BH4 also significantly reduced Ang II-induced increases in inducible NO synthase expression, nitrotyrosine immunostaining, NO production and superoxide anion formation in rats. CONCLUSION:These results indicate that BH4 might prevent the development of hypertension and myocardial hypertrophy, as well as the Ang II-induced production of superoxide and NO, thereby reducing the production of peroxynitrite. Therefore, BH4 may protect against the cardiovascular manifestations of oxidative and nitrosative stress in this experimental model of Ang II-mediated hypertension.
