Modulation of arteriolar blood flow by inhibitors of arachidonic acid oxidation after thermal injury: possible role for a novel class of vasodilator metabolites.

Abstract: To examine the contribution of arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites to the maintenance of cutaneous vasomotor tone after thermal injury, enzyme inhibitors were topically applied to the hamster cheek pouch before and after a spot burn. By use of video microscopy, blood flow was measured in adjacent arterioles that supplied the injured site. Ringer's solutions containing no drug (vehicle), indomethacin (cyclooxygenase inhibitor), BW755c (cyclooxygenase/lipoxygenase inhibitor), or ketoconazole (lipoxygenase/cytochro… Show more

“…Stereoisomers exist for each of the HETEs identified in the brain (Kim et al, 1991), and they can have distinctly different biological activity (Fitzpatrick and Murphy, 1989;Fretland and Djuric, 1989;McGiff and Carroll, 1989;Proctor et al, 1989). For instance, the l%(S)-HETE IN BRAIN MICROVESSELS (R) and ( S ) isomers of 12-HETE have disparate effects on Na+,K+-ATPase activity (Schwartzman et al, 1987;Masferrer et al, 1990), vascular tone (Proctor et al, 1988), neutrophil chemotaxis (Cunningham and Woollard, 1987), and platelet aggregation (Croset and Lagarde, 1983). Cerebral microvessels convert arachidonic acid to 12-HETE (Baba et al, 1985;Hambrecht et al, 1987;Moore et al, 1988aMoore et al, , 1989, but no data are available on the stereoisomer that is produced.…”

“…Since methysergide inhibited the hind limb vasodilator response to serotonin and CATM, but not to nitroglycerin or verapamil, the present data suggest that methysergide acted in a selective manner to antagonize serotonergic,-like receptors. Although prostaglandins (7,8) and 2-adrenoceptors (9) have been implicated as mediators ofthe increase in local blood flow, neither ICI 1 1855 1 nor meclofenamate altered the hind limb vasodilator response to burn, suggesting that neither #2-adrenoceptors nor cyclooxygenase products appear to mediate this effect. Similarly, atropine, BW 1433U83, diphenhydramine, and ranitidine had no effect on the scald-induced increase in femoral blood flow, suggesting that this response is not mediated by muscarinic, adenosineAl, histaminergic,, or histaminergic2-receptors.…”

“…A smaller BSA burn in rats causes only an increase in blood flow to the injured site, a response influenced by surface temperature and injury size (5). Mediation ofthis regional vasodilator response by potassium, prostaglandins, lactate, and activation of f3-adrenoceptors (3,(6)(7)(8)(9) has been suggested. Others consider heat-induced vasodilation a prime component of this response (5).…”

“…Furthermore, several recent reports indicate that the stereoisomers of particular HETEs can have distinctly different biological activities. For instance, the R and S isomers of 12-HETE have been shown to have disparate effects on Na+,K+-ATPase activity (Schwartzman et al, 1987;Masferrer et al, 1990), vascular tone (Proctor et al, 1988), and neutrophil chemotaxis (Cunningham and Woolard, 1987). Therefore, knowledge of whether enantiomers of a given HETE are metabolized in a similar fashion by the cerebral endothelium is of interest.…”
