The present study examined the contribution of elevations in
cGMP versus inhibition of cytochrome
P-4504A enzymes and the production of
the vasoconstrictor 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) to the
vasodilator actions of NO in renal arterioles. The NO donor sodium
nitroprusside (SNP) at 10
5,
10
4, and
10
3 M reduced the
production of 20-HETE in microsomes prepared from renal arterioles to
80 ± 2, 43 ± 5, and 7 ± 1% of control, respectively (n = 4). In other experiments, the
vasodilator response to SNP (10
7 to
10
3 M) was examined in rat
renal interlobular arteries (<90 µm ID), preconstricted with
phenylephrine (1 µM) under control conditions and after blockade of
the cGMP and P-4504A pathways.
Inhibition of guanylyl cyclase with
1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazole[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ) (10 µM, n = 6) or of
cGMP-dependent protein kinase with 8R,9S,11S-(
)-9-methoxy-carbamyl-8-methyl-2,3,9,10-tetrahydro-8,11-epoxy-1H,8H,11H-2,7b,11a-trizadibenzo-(a,g)-cycloocta-(c,d,e)-trinden-1-one (KT-5823, 1 µM; n = 5) attenuated
the vasodilator response to SNP by 26 and 30%, respectively. In
contrast, inhibition of the endogenous production of 20-HETE with a
suicide substrate, irreversible inhibitor [17-octadecynoic acid
(17-ODYA), 1 µM, n = 5], or a selective, competitive inhibitor of 20-HETE formation
(dibromo-dodecenyl-methylsulfimide, 25 µM,
n = 5) markedly impaired the
vasodilator response to SNP by 76 and 78%, respectively. Similarly,
when 20-HETE levels were fixed at 100 nM
(n = 6), the response to SNP was
attenuated by 73%. Blockade of both pathways with ODQ and 17-ODYA
completely abolished the response to SNP
(n = 6). These results indicate that
the vasodilator response to NO is largely cGMP independent and that
inhibition of 20-HETE formation contributes to the cGMP-independent effects of NO in the renal microcirculation.
