Lipofundin MCT/LCT Inhibits Levcromakalim-Induced Vasodilation by Inhibiting Endothelial Nitric Oxide Release.

ABSTRACT: The goal of this study was to examine the effect of lipid emulsion on the vasodilation induced by ATP-sensitive potassium (K_ATP) channels in isolated rat aortae and the underlying mechanism. The effects of Intralipid, containing 100% long-chain fatty acids, and Lipofundin MCT/LCT, containing 50% long-chain fatty acids plus 50% medium-chain fatty acids, on the vasodilation induced by levcromakalim in endothelium-intact aorta with or without N^W-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) and in endothelium-denuded aorta were examined. The effects of L-arginine, L-NAME, glibenclamide, and Lipofundin MCT/LCT, alone or combined, on the levcromakalim-induced vasodilation were examined. Lipofundin MCT/LCT inhibited the levcromakalim-induced vasodilation of isolated endothelium-intact aortae, whereas Intralipid did not. In addition, Lipofundin MCT/LCT had no effect on the levcromakalim-induced vasodilation of endothelium-denuded rat aortae and endothelium-intact aortae with L-NAME. L-arginine and Lipofundin MCT/LCT produced more levcromakalim-induced vasodilation than Lipofundin MCT/LCT alone. Glibenclamide inhibited levcromakalim-induced vasodilation. Levcromakalim did not significantly alter endothelial nitric oxide synthase phosphorylation, whereas Lipofundin MCT/LCT decreased cyclic guanosine monophosphate. Lipofundin MCT/LCT did not significantly alter levcromakalim-induced membrane hyperpolarization. Taken together, these results suggest that Lipofundin MCT/LCT inhibits the vasodilation induced by levcromakalim by inhibiting basally released endothelial nitric oxide, which seems to occur through medium-chain fatty acids.

Project description:Mitochondrial depolarization after ATP-sensitive potassium channel activation has been shown to induce cerebral vasodilation by the generation of calcium sparks in smooth muscle. It is unclear, however, whether mitochondrial depolarization in endothelial cells is capable of promoting vasodilation by releasing vasoactive factors. Therefore, we studied the effect of endothelial mitochondrial depolarization by mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel activators, BMS-191095 (BMS) and diazoxide, on endothelium-dependent vasodilation.Diameter studies in isolated rat cerebral arteries showed BMS- and diazoxide-induced vasodilations that were diminished by endothelial denudation. Mitochondrial depolarization-induced vasodilation was reduced by inhibition of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channels, phosphoinositide-3 kinase, or nitric oxide synthase. Scavenging of reactive oxygen species, however, diminished vasodilation induced by diazoxide, but not by BMS. Fluorescence studies in cultured rat brain microvascular endothelial cells showed that BMS elicited mitochondrial depolarization and enhanced nitric oxide production; diazoxide exhibited largely similar effects, but unlike BMS, increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production. Measurements of intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)]i) in cultured rat brain microvascular endothelial cells and arteries showed that both diazoxide and BMS increased endothelial [Ca(2+)]i. Western blot analyses revealed increased phosphorylation of protein kinase B and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) by BMS and diazoxide. Increased phosphorylation of eNOS by diazoxide was abolished by phosphoinositide-3 kinase inhibition. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy confirmed vascular nitric oxide generation in response to diazoxide and BMS.Pharmacological depolarization of endothelial mitochondria promotes activation of eNOS by dual pathways involving increased [Ca(2+)]i as well as by phosphoinositide-3 kinase-protein kinase B-induced eNOS phosphorylation. Both mitochondrial reactive oxygen species-dependent and -independent mechanisms mediate activation of eNOS by endothelial mitochondrial depolarization.
