Change of Cl~- channels in aortic smooth muscle cells of hypertensive rats / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Aim To investigate change in Cl- channels of hypertensive rats aortic smooth muscle cells. Methods 2 kidney-2 clip renovascular hypertensive rats(RVHR) model was established. In thoracic aorta smooth muscles from the hypertensive rats 1～12 weeks after operation,the changes of tension of aortic rings were recorded in vitro. Effects of Cl- channel blookers,DIDS(4,4-diisothiocyanato-stilbene-2,2'disulphonate)and NPPB[5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropy-lamino) benzonic acid], in different concentration on contractile response of hypertensive rats aorta smooth muscle induced by 10 ?mol?L -1 phenylephrine were observed.Results The difference of inhibitory effects of 300 ?mol?L -1 DIDS and 100 ?mol?L -1 NPPB on Phe-induced contractile response between RVHR and sham-operated rats was not evident.Inhibitory effects of 300 ?mol?L -1 DIDS and 100 ?mol?L -1 NPPB on contractile response of hypertensive rats aorta smooth muscle induced by 10 ?mol?L -1 phenylephrine were lower than those of sham-operated rats in 8 weeks and 12 weeks after operation. With extension of time after operation and gradual increase of blood pressure in RVHR,inhibitory effects of DIDS and NPPB on Phe-induced contractile response gradually reduced.Conclusion Action of DIDS-sensitive and NPPB-sensitive Cl- channels in hypertensive rats aortic vascular smooth muscle cells changes. DIDS-sensitive and NPPB-sensitive Cl- channels play an important role in development and maintenance of hypertension.
