Abstract

Background and Purpose Endothelins act via two receptor subtypes, ET _A and ET_B. Under physiological conditions in coronary arteries, ET_A receptors expressed in smooth muscle cells mediate vasoconstriction whereas ET_B receptors mainly found in endothelial cells mediate vasorelaxation. However, under pathophysiological conditions, ET_B receptors may also be expressed in vascular smooth muscle cells mediating vasoconstriction. Here, we have investigated whether vasoconstrictor ET_B receptors are up-regulated in coronary arteries after experimental myocardial ischaemia in rats. Experimental Approach Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to either heart ischaemia-reperfusion (15 min ischaemia and 22 h reperfusion), permanent ischaemia (22 h) by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery, or sham operation. Using wire myography, the endothelin receptor subtypes mediating vasoconstriction were examined in isolated segments of the left anterior descending and the non-ligated septal coronary arteries. Endothelin receptor-mediated vasoconstriction was examined with cumulative administration of sarafotoxin 6c (ET_B receptor agonist) and endothelin-1 (with or without ET _A or ET_B receptor blockade). The distribution of ET _B receptors was localized with immunohistochemistry and quantified by Western blot. Key Results Endothelin ET_B receptor-mediated vasoconstriction and receptor protein levels were significantly augmented in coronary arteries situated downstream of the occlusion after ischaemia-reperfusion compared with non-ischaemic arteries. In contrast, the ET_A receptor-mediated vasoconstriction was unaltered in all groups. Conclusions and Implications Ischaemia-reperfusion induced local up-regulation of ET_B receptors in the smooth muscle cells of coronary arteries in the post-ischaemic area. In contrast, in non-ischaemic areas, ET_B receptor function was unaltered.
