    Abstract Rationale: Endothelial derived hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) is a necessary component of the pathway regulating flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in human coronary arterioles (HCAs). However, H(2)O(2) has never been shown to be the endothelium-dependent transferrable hyperpolarization factor (EDHF) in response to shear stress.
    Objective: We examined the hypothesis that H(2)O(2) serves as the EDHF in HCAs to shear stress.
    Methods and results: Two HCAs were cannulated in series (a donor intact vessel upstream and endothelium-denuded detector vessel downstream). Diameter changes to flow were examined in the absence and presence of polyethylene glycol catalase (PEG-CAT). The open state probability of large conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (BK(Ca)) channels in smooth muscle cells downstream from the perfusate from an endothelium-intact arteriole was examined by patch clamping. In some experiments, a cyanogen bromide-activated resin column bound with CAT was used to remove H(2)O(2) from the donor vessel. When flow proceeds from donor to detector, both vessels dilate (donor:68±7%; detector: 45±11%). With flow in the opposite direction, only the donor vessel dilates. PEG-CAT contacting only the detector vessel blocked FMD in that vessel (6±4%) but not in donor vessel (61±13%). Paxilline inhibited dilation of endothelium-denuded HCAs to H(2)O(2). Effluent from donor vessels elicited K(+) channel opening in an iberiotoxin- or PEG-CAT-sensitive fashion in cell-attached patches but had little effect on channel opening on inside-out patches. Vasodilation of detector vessels was diminished when exposed to effluent from CAT-column.
    Conclusions: Flow induced endothelial production of H(2)O(2), which acts as the transferrable EDHF activating BK(Ca) channels on the smooth muscle cells.

    Abstract Objective: Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor in human coronary arterioles (HCAs). H2O2 mediates bradykinin (BK)-induced vasodilation and reduces bioavailability of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs); however, the cellular and enzymatic source of H2O2 is unknown.
    Methods and results: NADPH oxidase expression was determined by immunohistochemistry. Superoxide and H2O2 production was assayed in HCAs and human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) using dihydroethidium and dichlorodihydrofluorescein histofluorescence, respectively. Superoxide was quantified by HPLC separation of dihydroethidium products. Diameter changes of HCAs were measured by videomicroscopy. NADPH oxidase subunits Nox1, Nox2, Nox4, p22, p47, and p67 were each expressed in HCA endothelium. In HCAs or HCAECs incubated with dihydroethidium and dichlorodihydrofluorescein, BK induced superoxide and H2O2 formation, which was inhibited by gp91ds-tat or apocynin but not by gp91scram-tat or rotenone. HPLC analysis confirmed that BK specifically induced superoxide production. Gp91ds-tat reduced vasodilation to BK but not to papaverine. 14,15-EEZE (an EET antagonist) further reduced the residual dilation to BK in the presence of gp91ds-tat, but had no effect in the presence of gp91scram-tat, suggesting that NADPH oxidase-derived ROS modulate EET bioavailability.
    Conclusion: We conclude that endothelial NADPH oxidase is a functionally relevant source of H2O2 that mediates agonist-induced dilation in the human heart.

    Abstract We have shown that short-term exposure of rat small coronary arteries (RSCAs) to high glucose enhances superoxide (O2-*) formation and impairs cAMP-mediated dilation by reducing voltage-gated K+ (Kv) channel function. However, it is not clear whether the impairment also occurs in diabetes mellitus (DM), where alternate mechanisms could mask or aggravate vasodilator dysfunction. RSCAs were isolated from control and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Reduced constriction to 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) was observed in RSCAs from DM rats, indicating Kv channel impairment. Forskolin increased 4-AP-inhibitable K+ channel open-state probability and whole cell K+ current density in coronary myocytes from non-DM rats but had little effect on K+ current density in cells from DM rats. Diminished dilation to 8-bromo-cAMP, forskolin, or isoproterenol was observed in DM RSCAs. The attenuated dilation to forskolin or isoproterenol in DM RSCAs was partially restored by application of the superoxide dismutase mimetic manganese[III] tetrakis (4-benzoic acid) porphyrin. Histofluorescence studies using hydroethidine revealed a blockage of O2-* generation by the NADPH oxidase inhibitor apocynin in DM RSCAs. Sepiapterin, a precursor of tetrahydrobiopterin, had little effect on hyperglycemia-induced O2-* formation. Consistent with the findings from the concurrent fluorescence study, apocynin also partially restored the reduced dilator response to forskolin in DM RSCAs. Forskolin-induced cAMP production was unaltered in DM. We conclude that in diabetes, enhanced O2-* formation by activation of NADPH oxidase impairs cAMP-medicated dilation in RSCAs by inhibiting Kv channel activity.

    Abstract Mitochondrial H2O2 contributes to flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in human coronary arterioles (HCA). We examined the hypothesis that the endothelial cytoskeleton plays a critical role in transducing endothelial wall shear stress into a stimulus for releasing mitochondrial ROS. Phallacidin together with alpha-, beta-tubulin antibodies and Mito-Tracker Red showed the proximity of F-actin, microtubules and mitochondria in endothelial cells. Cytochalasin D (CytoD) and nocodazole (Noc) disrupted endothelial F-actin and microtubules in HCA, respectively, concurrent with a reduction in the generation of cytosolic and H2O2 (hydroethidine and dichlorodihydrofluorescein fluorescence) and mitochondrial superoxide (mitoSox) during flow (control: 3.5 +/- 1.6, Cyto D: 0.51 +/- 0.2, Noc: 0.81 +/- 0.6). FMD, but not the dilation to bradykinin or papaverine, was reduced by Cyto D (26 +/- 10% vs. 56 +/- 3%) or Noc (26 +/- 11% vs. 58 +/- 7%). These results suggest that cytoskeletal elements are a critical component of the signaling mechanism linking endothelial shear stress and mitochondrial release of ROS in the human coronary microcirculation.

    Abstract In human coronary arterioles (HCAs) from patients with coronary artery disease, flow-induced dilation is mediated by a unique mechanism involving the release of H(2)O(2) from the mitochondria of endothelial cells (ECs). How flow activates ECs to elicit the mitochondrial release of H(2)O(2) remains unclear. Here, we examined the role of the transient receptor potential vanilloid type 4 (TRPV4) channel, a mechanosensitive Ca(2+)-permeable cation channel, in mediating ROS formation and flow-induced dilation in HCAs. Using RT-PCR, Western blot analysis, and immunohistochemical analysis, we detected the mRNA and protein expression of TRPV4 channels in ECs of HCAs and cultured human coronary artery ECs (HCAECs). In HCAECs, 4α-phorbol-12,13-didecanoate (4α-PDD), a selective TRPV4 agonist, markedly increased (via Ca(2+) influx) intracellular Ca(2+) concentration. In isolated HCAs, activation of TRPV4 channels by 4α-PDD resulted in a potent concentration-dependent dilation, and the dilation was inhibited by removal of the endothelium and by catalase, a H(2)O(2)-metabolizing enzyme. Fluorescence ROS assays showed that 4α-PDD increased the production of mitochondrial superoxide in HCAECs. 4α-PDD also enhanced the production of H(2)O(2) and superoxide in HCAs. Finally, we found that flow-induced dilation of HCAs was markedly inhibited by different TRPV4 antagonists and TRPV4-specific small interfering RNA. In conclusion, the endothelial TRPV4 channel is critically involved in flow-mediated dilation of HCAs. TRPV4-mediated Ca(2+) entry may be an important signaling event leading to the flow-induced release of mitochondrial ROS in HCAs. Elucidation of this novel TRPV4-ROS pathway may improve our understanding of the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease and/or other cardiovascular disorders.

    Abstract Small coronary arteries (SCA) from diabetic rats exhibit enhanced peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) formation and concurrent impairment of voltage-dependent potassium (K(v)) channel function. However, it is unclear whether ONOO(-) plays a causative role in this impairment. We hypothesized that functional loss of K(v) channels in coronary smooth muscle cells (SMC) in diabetes is due to ONOO(-) with subsequent tyrosine nitration of K(v) channel proteins. Diabetic rats and nondiabetic controls were treated with or without ebselen (Eb) for 4 wk. SCA were prepared for immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunoprecipitation (IP) followed by Western blot (WB), videomicroscopy, and patch-clamp analysis. IHC revealed excess ONOO(-) in SCA from diabetic rats. IP and WB revealed elevated nitration of the K(v)1.2 alpha-subunit and reduced K(v)1.2 protein expression in diabetic rats. Each of these changes was improved in Eb-treated rats. Protein nitration and K(v)1.5 expression were unchanged in SCA from diabetic rats. Forskolin, a direct cAMP activator that induces K(v)1 channel activity, dilated SCA from nondiabetic rats in a correolide (Cor; a selective K(v)1 channel blocker)-sensitive fashion. Cor did not alter the reduced dilation to forskolin in diabetic rats; however, Eb partially restored the Cor-sensitive component of dilation. Basal K(v) current density and response to forskolin were improved in smooth muscle cells from Eb-treated DM rats. We conclude that enhanced nitrosative stress in diabetes mellitus contributes to K(v)1 channel dysfunction in the coronary microcirculation. Eb may be beneficial for the therapeutic treatment of vascular complications in diabetes mellitus.

    Abstract The transient receptor potential vallinoid type 4 (TRPV4) channel has been implicated in the endothelial shear response and flow-mediated dilation, although the precise functions of this channel remain poorly understood. In the present study, we investigated the role of TRPV4 in shear stress-induced endothelial Ca(2+) entry and the potential link between this signaling response and relaxation of small resistance arteries. Using immunohistochemical analysis and RT-PCR, we detected strong expression of TRPV4 protein and mRNA in the endothelium in situ and endothelial cells freshly isolated from mouse small mesenteric arteries. The selective TRPV4 agonist GSK1016790A increased endothelial Ca(2+) and induced potent relaxation of small mesenteric arteries from wild-type (WT) but not TRPV4(-/-) mice. Luminal flow elicited endothelium-dependent relaxations that involved both nitric oxide and EDHFs. Both nitric oxide and EDHF components of flow-mediated relaxation were markedly reduced in TRPV4(-/-) mice compared with WT controls. Using a fura-2/Mn(2+) quenching assay, shear was observed to produce rapid Ca(2+) influx in endothelial cells, which was markedly inhibited by the TRPV4 channel blocker ruthenium red and TRPV4-specific short interfering RNA. Flow elicited a similar TRPV4-mediated Ca(2+) entry in HEK-293 cells transfected with TRPV4 channels but not in nontransfected cells. Collectively, these data indicate that TRPV4 may be a potential candidate of mechanosensitive channels in endothelial cells through which the shear stimulus is transduced into Ca(2+) signaling, leading to the release of endothelial relaxing factors and flow-mediated dilation of small resistance arteries.

    Abstract Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 (PECAM-1) is capable of transducing signals in endothelial cells exposed to shear; however, the biological consequences of this signal transduction are unknown. Because shear stress elicits flow-mediated dilation (FMD), we examined whether steady-state FMD in mouse coronary arteries (MCAs) is affected in the PECAM-1 knockout (KO) mouse. MCAs were isolated from wild-type (WT) or KO mice and prepared for videomicroscopy, histofluorescence, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. FMD was examined in the absence and presence of N(omega)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME) and l-NAME+indomethacin (INDO). FMD was reduced in KO relative to WT MCAs, but the l-NAME-inhibitable portion of FMD was similar between the two. The INDO-sensitive component of FMD was diminished in KO MCAs. In contrast, the residual component of dilation, presumably because of endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF), was abolished in KO MCAs. Histofluorescence showed relatively more superoxide (O2-.; oxy-ethidium fluorescence) and peroxide production (dihydrochlorofluorescene fluoresecence) in KO MCAs at rest. Flow augmented O2-. and peroxide production in WT MCAs but had little effect on KO MCAs. Enhanced nitric oxide generation was observed in arteries from KO mice, accompanied with increased eNOS S1177 phosphorylation. In vessels from KO mice, treatment with ebselen decreased peroxynitrite (ONOO-) formation and improved the reduced FMD, largely due to restoration of the presumed EDHF component. These results suggest that PECAM-1 is necessary for normal FMD in the mouse coronary circulation. In the absence of this adhesion and signaling molecule, ONOO- production is increased concomitant with a reduction in both the EDHF and INDO-sensitive components of FMD.

    Abstract Coronary microvessels generate reactive oxygen species in response to high glucose (HG), resulting in vasodilator defects involving an impaired function of vascular K(+) channels. Inhibition of voltage-gated K(+) (K(v)) channels by peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)), formed by the interaction of superoxide and nitric oxide, may contribute to impaired dilation. The present study investigated whether HG induces ONOO(-) formation to mediate nitration and impairment of K(v) channels in rat small coronary arteries (RSCAs). Exposure to ONOO(-) reduced the dilator influence of K(v) channels in RSCAs. Patch-clamp studies revealed that ONOO(-) diminished whole-cell and unitary K(v) currents attributable to the K(v)1 gene family in smooth muscle cells. Subsequently, immunohistochemically detected enhancement of nitrotyrosine residues in RSCAs that were cultured in HG (23 mmol/l) compared with normal glucose (5.5 mmol/l) for 24 h correlated with the nitration of K(v)1.2 channel alpha-subunits. HG-induced nitrotyrosine formation was partially reversed by scavenging ONOO(-). Finally, RSCAs that were exposed to HG for 24 h showed a loss of K(v) channel dilator influence that also was partially restored by the ONOO(-) scavengers urate and ebselen. We conclude that ONOO(-) generated by HG impairs K(v) channel function in coronary microvessels, possibly by nitrating tyrosine residues in the pore-forming region of the K(v) channel protein.

    Abstract Agonist-induced Ca2+ entry is important for the synthesis and release of vasoactive factors in endothelial cells. The transient receptor potential vanilloid type 4 (TRPV4) channel, a Ca2+-permeant cation channel, is expressed in endothelial cells and involved in the regulation of vascular tone. Here we investigated the role of TRPV4 channels in acetylcholine-induced vasodilation in vitro and in vivo using the TRPV4 knockout mouse model. The expression of TRPV4 mRNA and protein was detected in both conduit and resistance arteries from wild-type mice. In small mesenteric arteries from wild-type mice, the TRPV4 activator 4alpha-phorbol-12,13-didecanoate increased endothelial [Ca2+]i in situ, which was reversed by the TRPV4 blocker ruthenium red. In wild-type animals, acetylcholine dilated small mesenteric arteries that involved both NO and endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factors. In TRPV4-deficient mice, the NO component of the relaxation was attenuated and the endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor component was largely eliminated. Compared with their wild-type littermates, TRPV4-deficient mice demonstrated a blunted endothelial Ca2+ response to acetylcholine in mesenteric arteries and reduced NO release in carotid arteries. Acetylcholine (5 mg/kg, IV) decreased blood pressure by 37.0+/-6.2 mm Hg in wild-type animals but only 16.6+/-2.7 mm Hg in knockout mice. We conclude that acetylcholine-induced endothelium-dependent vasodilation is reduced both in vitro and in vivo in TRPV4 knockout mice. These findings may provide novel insight into mechanisms of Ca2+ entry evoked by chemical agonists in endothelial cells.
