Abstract

In large vessels, endothelium-dependent vasodilation is mainly attributed to endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)-derived NO production. However, we have recently shown that neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS)-derived H(2)O(2) is also an endothelium-dependent relaxing factor in the mouse aorta. The relative contribution of nNOS/eNOS, H(2)O(2)/NO remains to be characterized. This work was undertaken to determine the relative contribution of NO versus H(2)O(2), and eNOS versus nNOS to endothelium-dependent vasodilation in the mouse aorta. We used carbon microsensors placed next to the lumen of the vessels to simultaneously measure NO, H(2)O(2) and vascular tone. Acetylcholine produced a concentration-dependent increase in NO and H(2)O(2) production with a good coefficient of linearity with acetylcholine-induced relaxation (R(2)=0.93 and 0.96 for NO and H(2)O(2), respectively). L-NAME, a non-selective inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, abolished NO and H(2)O(2) production, and impaired vasodilation. Selective pharmacological inhibition of nNOS with L-Arg(NO2)-L-Dbu-NH(2) 2TFA and specific knock-down of nNOS abrogated H(2)O(2) and decreased by half acetylcholine-induced vasodilation. Catalase, which specifically decomposes H...Continue Reading
