The mechanism of vasoconstriction induced by endothelin was investigated in rat isolated aorta in comparison with the Ca++ agonist, Bay K 8644. Endothelin (EC50 = 4 nM) induced a slow and sustained contraction in control medium whereas the one elicited by Bay K 8644 (EC50 = 14 nM) necessitating a partly K+ depolarized medium was fast with superimposed rhythmic contraction. By opposition with Bay K 8644, endothelin contraction was not inhibited by the calcium antagonists (1 microM), nifedipine, diltiazem and D 600, and substantially persisted in Ca++ free medium or after depletion of intracellular Ca++ by phenylephrine (1 microM). These data show that endothelin does not act as an activator of potential dependent Ca++ channels but probably through specific receptor(s) as suggested by its mode of vasoconstriction.
在内皮素诱导血管收缩的机制研究中,以大鼠离体主动脉为研究对象,并与钙离子激动剂Bay K 8644进行对比。内皮素(半数有效浓度EC50 = 4 nM)在对照培养基中诱导出缓慢且持续的收缩,而Bay K 8644(EC50 = 14 nM)诱导的收缩需要部分钾离子去极化培养基,其收缩迅速并伴有叠加的节律性收缩。与Bay K 8644不同,内皮素诱导的收缩不受钙拮抗剂(1 microM)硝苯地平、地尔硫卓和D 600的抑制,并且在无钙培养基中或用去氧肾上腺素(1 microM)耗尽细胞内钙离子后仍基本持续存在。这些数据表明,内皮素并非作为电压依赖性钙离子通道的激活剂起作用,而是可能通过特定受体起作用,这由其血管收缩模式所提示。
