Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The purpose of the study was to examine whether arachidonic acid inhibits vascular Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase in pulmonary vasculature and if so, what are the mechanisms involved. Functional Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity was studied in terms of K(+)-induced relaxation in sheep pulmonary arterial rings contracted with K(+)-free solution and 5-HT. Arachidonic acid (10-100μM) caused concentration-dependent inhibition of KCl-induced relaxations and also increased basal arterial tone. Cytochrome P-450 inhibitor, 17-Octadecynoic acid (17-ODYA) completely reversed the arachidonic acid (30μM)-induced inhibition of KCl relaxation. Further, in the presence of HET0016, a selective blocker of 20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), arachidonic acid-induced inhibition of KCl relaxation was not evident. Accordingly, 20-HETE, a cytochrome P-450 metabolite of arachidonic acid, also significantly attenuated KCl-induced relaxations. Norhydihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), a lipooxygenase inhibitor however partially restored the relaxation to K(+), impaired in the presence of arachidonic acid (30μM).On the other hand, cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin failed to reverse the inhibitory effect of arachidonic acid on KCl-induced relaxation. Staurosporine, a protein kinase C inhibitor, completely reversed the inhibitory effect of arachidonic acid and 20-HETE on K(+)-induced relaxation. In conclusion, the results suggest that 20-HETE, a cytochrome P-450 metabolite of arachidonic acid has a predominant role in the inhibition of functional Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity in the sheep pulmonary artery, while the lipooxygenase pathway has a secondary role. It is also evident that protein kinase C is involved in the inhibition of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase by arachidonic acid/20-HETE in sheep pulmonary artery.
