Human Coronary Arteriolar Dilation to Bradykinin Depends on Membrane Hyperpolarization

Abstract: Background-Kϩ channel activation in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) plays a key role in regulating vascular tone. It has been proposed that endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) contributes to microvascular dilation more than nitric oxide (NO) does. Whether hyperpolarization is important for coronary arteriolar dilation in humans is not known. Bradykinin (BK), an endogenous vasoactive substance, is released from ischemic myocardium and regulates coronary resistance. Therefore, we tested the ef… Show more

“…Although BK and MCh act through unique receptors (B 2 and M 3 , respectively), both agonists act through G␣ q to activate phospholipase C and stimulate the production of inositol triphosphate. 22 Both BK 23 and MCh 17 stimulate the release of endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor. As reported previously, 18 MCh significantly increased t-PA release, as well as FBF.…”

“…1,4,6,7 Briefly, isolated microvessels (50 to 200 m in diameter) were transferred to a 20-mL organ chamber containing Krebs solution of the following composition (in mM/L): NaCl 118, KCl 4.7, CaCl 2 2.5, KH 2 PO 4 1.2, MgSO 4 1.2, NaHCO 3 20, Na 2 EDTA 0.026, and glucose 11, pH 7.4. Each end of the arteriole was secured to a separate glass micropipette (25-to 50-m internal diameter) filled with Krebs buffer 8 and transferred to the stage of an inverted microscope (CK2; Olympus) coupled to a charge-coupled device camera (WV-BL200, Panasonic) and video micrometer (VIA-100K; Boeckeler Instruments, Inc).…”
