AbstractProstaglandin H 2 (PGH 2 [endoperoxide]) is an immediate product of prostaglandin H (PGH) synthase activity (cyclooxygenase) and a likely candidate to mediate endothelium-dependent contractions evoked by acetylcholine in the aorta of the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). Experiments were designed to investigate whether or not endothelium-dependent contractions were associated with an increased expression of PGH synthase, an augmented acetylcholine-induced release of PGH 2, and/or a hypersensitivity of the smooth muscle to endoperoxides in SHR aorta compared with normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) aorta. In SHR aorta, endothelium-dependent contractions to acetylcholine were abolished by tenidap (10 -8 mol/L), a preferential PGH synthase-1 inhibitor, but slightly impaired by NS-398 (10 -6 mol/L), a preferential PGH synthase-2 inhibitor. PGH synthase-1 expression, which was evaluated by both reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting, was about twofold greater in preparations with endothelium from SHR than from WKY rats. There was no difference in PGH synthase-1 expression between preparations with and those without endothelium in both strains. In SHR but not WKY aortas, acetylcholine (10 -5 mol/L, 5 minutes) caused a significant endothelium-dependent release of PGH 2, as measured by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. PGH 2 evoked more potent contractions in rings without endothelium from SHR than from WKY rats, whereas the thromboxane analogue U46619 and prostaglandin F(2α) caused a comparable response in both preparations. These results show that endothelium-dependent contractions to acetylcholine in SHR aorta are associated with a greater expression of PGH synthase-1, a significant release of PGH 2, and a hypersensitivity of the smooth muscle to the endoperoxide.
