Abstract
Arterial vascularization of the spinal cord may be mechanically or functionally altered during thoraco-abdominal surgery/intravascular procedures. Increased arterial pressure has been shown to restore spinal perfusion and function probably by increasing the blood flow through the intercostal arteries. The regulation of human intercostal artery (HICA) vascular tone is not well documented. Prostaglandin (PG)E(2) concentration is increased during inflammatory conditions and has been shown to regulate vascular tone in many preparations. In this context, the pharmacological response of HICA to PGE(2) and the characterization of the PGE(2) receptor subtypes (EP(1), EP(2), EP(3) or EP(4)) involved are of importance and that is the aim of this study. Rings of HICA were prepared from 29 patients and suspended in organ baths for isometric recording of tension. Cumulative concentration-response curves were performed in these preparations with various EP receptor agonists in the absence or presence of different receptor antagonists or inhibitors. PGE(2) induced the contraction of HICA (E(max)=7.28 ± 0.16 g; pEC(50) value=0.79 ± 0.18; n=17); contractions were also observed with the EP(3) receptor agonists, sulprostone, 17-phenyl-PGE(2), mis...Continue Reading
