Differences in vasomotor function of mesenteric arteries between Ossabaw minipigs with predisposition to metabolic syndrome and Göttingen minipigs. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 2024; 326:H408-H417. [PMID: 38133620 DOI: 10.1152/ajpheart.00719.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Revised: 12/08/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
Metabolic syndrome predisposes and contributes to the development and progression of atherosclerosis. The minipig strain "Ossabaw" is characterized by a predisposition to develop metabolic syndrome. We compared vasomotor function in Ossabaw minipigs before they developed their diseased phenotype to that of Göttingen minipigs without such genetic predisposition. Mesenteric arteries of adult Ossabaw and Göttingen minipigs were dissected postmortem and mounted on a myograph for isometric force measurements. Maximal vasoconstriction to potassium chloride (KClmax) was induced. Cumulative concentration-response curves were determined in response to norepinephrine. Endothelium-dependent (with carbachol) and endothelium-independent (with nitroprusside) vasodilation were analyzed after preconstriction by norepinephrine. In a bioinformatic analysis, variants/altered base pairs within genes associated with cardiovascular disease were analyzed. KClmax was similar between the minipig strains (15.6 ± 6.7 vs. 14.1 ± 3.4 ΔmN). Vasoconstriction in response to norepinephrine was more pronounced in Ossabaw than in Göttingen minipigs (increase of force to 143 ± 48 vs. 108 ± 38% of KClmax). Endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent vasodilation were less pronounced in Ossabaw than in Göttingen minipigs (decrease of force to 46.4 ± 29.6 vs. 16.0 ± 18.4% and to 36.7 ± 25.2 vs. 2.3 ± 3.7% of norepinephrine-induced preconstriction). Vasomotor function was not different between the sexes. More altered base pairs/variants were identified in Ossabaw than in Göttingen minipigs for the exon encoding adrenoceptor-α1A. Vasomotor function in lean Ossabaw minipigs is shifted toward vasoconstriction and away from vasodilation in comparison with Göttingen minipigs, suggesting a genetic predisposition for vascular dysfunction and atherosclerosis in Ossabaw minipigs. Thus, Ossabaw minipigs may be a better model for human cardiovascular disease than Göttingen minipigs.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Animal models with a predisposition to metabolic syndrome and atherosclerosis are attracting growing interest for translational research, as they may better mimic the variability of patients with cardiovascular disease. In Ossabaw minipigs, with a polygenic predisposition to metabolic syndrome, but without the diseased phenotype, vasoconstriction is more and vasodilation is less pronounced in mesenteric arteries than in Göttingen minipigs. Ossabaw minipigs may be a more suitable model of human cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Thromboxane A2 (TXA2 ) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of vascular complications, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The contraction of renal arterial rings in mice was measured by a Multi Myograph System. The intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+ ]i ) in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) was obtained by using a fluo-4/AM dye and a confocal laser scanning microscopy. The results show that the U46619-induced vasoconstriction of renal artery was completely blocked by a TXA2 receptor antagonist GR32191, significantly inhibited by a selective phospholipase C (PI-PLC) inhibitor U73122 at 10 μmol/L and partially inhibited by a Phosphatidylcholine - specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC) inhibitor D609 at 50 μmol/L. Moreover, the U46619-induced vasoconstriction was inhibited by a general protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor chelerythrine at 10 μmol/L, and a selective PKCδ inhibitor rottlerin at 10 μmol/L. In addition, the PKC-induced vasoconstriction was partially inhibited by a Rho-kinase inhibitor Y-27632 at 10 μmol/L and was further completely inhibited together with a putative IP3 receptor antagonist and store-operated Ca2+ (SOC) entry inhibitor 2-APB at 100 μmol/L. On the other hand, U46619-induced vasoconstriction was partially inhibited by L-type calcium channel (Cav1.2) inhibitor nifedipine at 1 μmol/L and 2-APB at 50 and 100 μmol/L. Last, U46619-induced vasoconstriction was partially inhibited by a cell membrane Ca2+ activated C1- channel blocker 5-Nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino) benzoic acid (NPPB) at 50 and 100 μmol/L. Our results suggest that the U46619-induced contraction of mouse intrarenal arteries is mediated by Cav1.2 and SOC channel, through the activation of thromboxane-prostanoid receptors and its downstream signaling pathway.

Abstract
L-type-voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (L-VDCCs; CaV1.2, α1C), crucial in cardiovascular physiology and pathology, are modulated via activation of G-protein-coupled receptors and subsequently protein kinase C (PKC). Despite extensive study, key aspects of the mechanisms leading to PKC-induced Ca2+ current increase are unresolved. A notable residue, Ser1928, located in the distal C-terminus (dCT) of α1C was shown to be phosphorylated by PKC. CaV1.2 undergoes posttranslational modifications yielding full-length and proteolytically cleaved CT-truncated forms. We have previously shown that, in Xenopus oocytes, activation of PKC enhances α1C macroscopic currents. This increase depended on the isoform of α1C expressed. Only isoforms containing the cardiac, long N-terminus (L-NT), were upregulated by PKC. Ser1928 was also crucial for the full effect of PKC. Here we report that, in Xenopus oocytes, following PKC activation the amount of α1C protein expressed in the plasma membrane (PM) increases within minutes. The increase in PM content is greater with full-length α1C than in dCT-truncated α1C, and requires Ser1928. The same was observed in HL-1 cells, a mouse atrium cell line natively expressing cardiac α1C, which undergoes the proteolytic cleavage of the dCT, thus providing a native setting for exploring the effects of PKC in cardiomyocytes. Interestingly, activation of PKC preferentially increased the PM levels of full-length, L-NT α1C. Our findings suggest that part of PKC regulation of CaV1.2 in the heart involves changes in channel's cellular fate. The mechanism of this PKC regulation appears to involve the C-terminus of α1C, possibly corroborating the previously proposed role of NT-CT interactions within α1C.

Abstract
Stent implantation into atherosclerotic coronary arteries releases particulate debris and soluble substances that contribute to impaired microvascular perfusion. Here we addressed the potential for microvascular obstruction in patients with stenotic native right coronary arteries (nRCA) compared with saphenous vein grafts on right coronary arteries (SVG-RCA). We enrolled symptomatic, male patients with stable angina pectoris and a flow-limiting stenosis in their nRCA or SVG-RCA ( n = 18/18). Plaque volume and composition were analyzed using intravascular ultrasound before stent implantation. Coronary aspirate was retrieved during stent implantation under protection with a distal occlusion/aspiration device and divided into particulate debris and plasma. The release of catecholamines, endothelin, serotonin, thromboxane B2, and tumor necrosis factor-α was measured. The response of rat mesenteric arteries with intact (+E) and denuded (−E) endothelium to aspirate plasma (without and with selective endothelin receptor blockade) was normalized to that by potassium chloride (KClmax = 100%). Plaque volume and composition were not different between nRCA and SVG-RCA. There was less particulate debris (65 ± 8 vs. 146 ± 23 mg; P < 0.05) and more endothelin release (5.8 ± 0.8 vs. 1.3 ± 0.7 pg/ml; P < 0.05) in nRCA than in SVG-RCA, whereas the release of the other mediators was not different. Aspirate from nRCA induced stronger vasoconstriction than that from SVG-RCA [nRCA, 78 ± 6% (+E)/84 ± 5% (−E); SVG-RCA, 59 ± 6% (+E)/68 ± 3% (−E); P < 0.05 nRCA vs. SVG-RCA], which was attenuated by a nonspecific endothelin and a specific endothelin receptor A antagonist. Thus coronary aspirate from stented nRCA is characterized by less debris but more endothelin and stronger vasoconstrictor response than that from SVG-RCA.
