This study examined vascular actions of angiotensin 1-7 (ANG 1-7) in human atrial and adipose arterioles.
The endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor of flow-mediated dilation (FMD) switches from antiproliferative nitric oxide (NO) to proatherosclerotic hydrogen peroxide in arterioles from humans with coronary artery disease (CAD). Given the known vasoprotective properties of ANG 1-7, we tested the hypothesis that overnight ANG 1-7 treatment restores the NO component of FMD in arterioles from patients with CAD. Endothelial telomerase activity is essential for preserving the NO component of vasodilation in the human microcirculation; thus, we also tested whether telomerase activity was necessary for ANG 1-7-mediated vasoprotection by treating separate arterioles with ANG 1-7±the telomerase inhibitor 2-[[(2E)-3-(2-naphthalenyl)-1-oxo-2-butenyl1-yl]amino]benzoic acid. ANG 1-7 dilated arterioles from patients without CAD, whereas dilation was significantly reduced in arterioles from patients with CAD. In atrial arterioles from patients with CAD incubated with ANG 1-7 overnight, the NO synthase inhibitor NG-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester abolished FMD, whereas the hydrogen peroxide scavenger polyethylene glycol catalase had no effect. Conversely, in vessels incubated with ANG 1-7+2-[[(2E)-3-(2-naphthalenyl)-1-oxo-2-butenyl1-yl]amino]benzoic acid, NG-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester had no effect on FMD, but polyethylene glycol catalase abolished dilation. In cultured human coronary artery endothelial cells, ANG 1-7 significantly increased telomerase activity. These results indicate that ANG 1-7 dilates human microvessels, and dilation is abrogated in the presence of CAD. Furthermore, ANG 1-7 treatment is sufficient to restore the NO component of FMD in arterioles from patients with CAD in a telomerase-dependent manner.
ANG 1-7 exerts vasoprotection in the human microvasculature via modulation of telomerase activity.
本研究检测了血管紧张素1-7(ANG 1-7)对人房性和脂肪组织小动脉的血管作用。
在冠状动脉疾病(CAD)患者的小动脉中,血流介导的舒张(FMD)的内皮源性超极化因子从抗增殖的一氧化氮(NO)转变为促动脉粥样硬化的过氧化氢。鉴于ANG 1-7已知的血管保护特性,我们检验了以下假设:过夜给予ANG 1-7治疗可恢复CAD患者小动脉中FMD的NO成分。内皮端粒酶活性对于维持人体微循环中血管舒张的NO成分至关重要;因此,我们还通过用ANG 1-7±端粒酶抑制剂2-[[(2E)-3-(2-萘基)-1-氧代-2-丁烯基]氨基]苯甲酸处理不同的小动脉,来检测端粒酶活性对于ANG 1-7介导的血管保护是否必要。ANG 1-7可使无CAD患者的小动脉扩张,而CAD患者小动脉的扩张则显著减弱。在CAD患者的房性小动脉中,过夜孵育ANG 1-7后,一氧化氮合酶抑制剂NG-硝基-L-精氨酸甲酯消除了FMD,而过氧化氢清除剂聚乙二醇过氧化氢酶则无作用。相反,在用ANG 1-7 + 2-[[(2E)-3-(2-萘基)-1-氧代-2-丁烯基]氨基]苯甲酸孵育的血管中,NG-硝基-L-精氨酸甲酯对FMD无作用,但聚乙二醇过氧化氢酶消除了血管舒张。在培养的人冠状动脉内皮细胞中,ANG 1-7显著增加了端粒酶活性。这些结果表明,ANG 1-7可扩张人体微血管,而在CAD存在时扩张作用被消除。此外,ANG 1-7治疗足以以端粒酶依赖性方式恢复CAD患者小动脉中FMD的NO成分。
