Endothelin-1 (ET-1) potentiates norepinephrine (NE)-induced contractile responses. An impairment of cardiac NE re-uptake by the neuronal NE transporter (NET) contributes to an increased NE net release in failing hearts. We hypothesized that both phenomena are caused by ET-1-mediated inhibition of NET.
[3H]-NE-uptake, electrical field stimulation-evoked NE overflow and left ventricular contractility (LV-dp/dt(max)) were measured in isolated perfused rat hearts. NET density on cardiac plasma membranes was determined by [3H]-mazindol binding. Experimental heart failure in rats was induced by transverse aortic constriction (TAC).
ET-1 inhibited cardiac [3H]-NE-uptake in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The endothelin A receptor (ET(A)) antagonist BQ123 but not the endothelin B receptor (ET(B)) antagonist BQ788 abolished ET-1-induced reduction of [3H]-NE-uptake. Likewise, ET-1, but not the ET(B) agonist sarafotoxin S6c, enhanced the stimulated overflow of endogenous NE. In contrast, ET-1 inhibited the stimulated NE overflow during NET blockade (exocytotic NE release) via activation of ET(B). In isovolumically contracting healthy hearts, ET-1 potentiated the NE- but not isoprenaline-induced increase in LV-dp/dt(max). Since isoprenaline is not a NET substrate, the enhanced LV-dp/dt(max) response to NE thus depends on NET. In TAC rats, ET(A) antagonism by darusentan improved both impairment of cardiac [3H]-NE-uptake and reduction of [3H]-mazindol binding sites.
ET-1 inhibits cardiac NE re-uptake via ET(A) but attenuates exocytotic NE release via ET(B), resulting in opposite effects on cardiac NE net release. In healthy hearts, ET(A)-mediated inhibition of NE re-uptake exceeds ET(B)-mediated silencing of NE release and potentiates the NE-induced increase in left ventricular contractility. In TAC rats, endogenous ET-1 impairs NE re-uptake and promotes sympathetic overstimulation of failing hearts.
内皮素 -1(ET -1)可增强去甲肾上腺素(NE)诱导的收缩反应。神经元去甲肾上腺素转运体(NET)对心脏NE再摄取的损害导致衰竭心脏中NE净释放增加。我们推测这两种现象均由ET -1介导的NET抑制所致。
在离体灌注大鼠心脏中测量[³H]-NE摄取、电场刺激诱发的NE溢出以及左心室收缩力(LV - dp/dt(max))。通过[³H]-马吲哚结合法测定心脏质膜上的NET密度。采用横断主动脉缩窄(TAC)诱导大鼠实验性心力衰竭。
ET -1以浓度和时间依赖性方式抑制心脏[³H]-NE摄取。内皮素A受体(ET(A))拮抗剂BQ123可消除ET -1诱导的[³H]-NE摄取减少,而内皮素B受体(ET(B))拮抗剂BQ788则无此作用。同样,ET -1可增强内源性NE的刺激溢出,而ET(B)激动剂沙拉新毒素S6c则无此作用。相反,ET -1通过激活ET(B)在NET阻断期间(胞吐性NE释放)抑制刺激的NE溢出。在等容收缩的健康心脏中,ET -1增强NE诱导的LV - dp/dt(max)增加,但不增强异丙肾上腺素诱导的增加。由于异丙肾上腺素不是NET底物,因此对NE增强的LV - dp/dt(max)反应依赖于NET。在TAC大鼠中,达芦生坦对ET(A)的拮抗作用改善了心脏[³H]-NE摄取受损和[³H]-马吲哚结合位点减少的情况。
ET -1通过ET(A)抑制心脏NE再摄取,但通过ET(B)减弱胞吐性NE释放,对心脏NE净释放产生相反作用。在健康心脏中,ET(A)介导的NE再摄取抑制超过ET(B)介导的NE释放沉默,并增强NE诱导的左心室收缩力增加。在TAC大鼠中,内源性ET -1损害NE再摄取并促进衰竭心脏的交感神经过度刺激。
