The hypothesis is that the ghrelin signal pathway consists of new participants including a local second mediator in human mesenteric arteries. The contractile force of isometric artery preparations was measured using a wire-myograph. Whole-cell patch clamp experiments were performed on freshly isolated single smooth muscle cells from the same tissue. After the addition of ghrelin (100 nmol) the outward potassium currents conducted through iberiotoxin-sensitive calcium-activated potassium channels with a large conductance were almost entirely abolished. The effect of ghrelin on potassium currents was insensitive to selective inhibitors of cAMP-dependent protein kinase and soluble guanylate cyclase, but was eliminated in the presence of des-octanoyl ghrelin and O-(octahydro-4,7-methano-1H-inden-5-yl) carbonopotassium dithioate (D-609). Ghrelin dose-dependently increased the force of contraction of native, endothelium-denuded and mostly of endothelium-denuded and treated with tetrodotoxin human mesenteric arteries preconstricted with 1 nmol endothelin-1. This effect of ghrelin was blocked when the bath solution contained 1,4-diamino-2,3-dicyano-1,4-bis(2-aminophenylthio)butadiene (U0126), 4-amino-5-(4-methylphenyl)-7-(t-butyl) pyrazolo[3,4-d] pyrimidine (PP2), D-609, 2-[1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)indol-3-yl]-3-(indol-3-yl) maleimide (GF109203x), pertussis toxin, 2-aminoethyl diphenylborinate (2-APB), indomethacin, (5Z,13E)-(9S,11S,15R)-9,15,Dihydroxy-11-fluoro-15-(2-indanyl)-16,17,18,19,20,pentanor-5,13-prostadienoic acid (AL-8810) - a non-selective prostanoid receptor antagonist, 5-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-trifluoromethyl pyrazolo (SC-560) - a selective cyclooxygenase 1 inhibitor, ozagrel - a selective thromboxane A(2) synthase inhibitor or T prostanoid receptor antagonist GR32191B. It is concluded that ghrelin increases the force of contraction of human mesenteric arteries by a novel mechanism that involves Src kinase, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK), cyclooxygenase 1 and T prostanoid receptor agonist, most probably thromboxane A(2). |
