Abstract
Mouse mast cell protease 4 (mMCP-4), the murine functional analog to the human chymase, is a serine protease synthesized and stored in mast cell secretory granules. Our previous studies reported physiologic and pathologic roles for mMCP-4 in the maturation and synthesis of the vasoactive peptide endothelin-1 (ET-1) from its precursor, big ET-1. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of mast cell degranulation or stabilization on mMCP-4-dependent pressor responses after the administration of big ET-1 or angiotensin I (Ang I). In anesthetized mice, mast cell degranulation induced by compound 48/80 (C48/80) or stabilization by cromolyn enhanced or repressed, respectively, the dose-dependent vasopressor responses to big ET-1 in wild-type (WT) mice but not in mMCP-4 knockout mice in a chymase inhibitor (TY-51469)-sensitive fashion. In addition, mMCP-4-dependent hydrolysis of the fluorogenic substrate Suc-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-7-amino-4-methylcoumarin was depleted or enhanced in peritoneal mast cells isolated from mice pretreated with C48/80 or cromolyn, respectively. Furthermore, C48/80 or cromolyn markedly increased or abolished, respectively, ET-1 (1-31) conversion from exogenous big ET-1 in WT mice peritoneal fluid-isolated mast cells, in vitro. Finally, the vasopressor responses to Ang I were unaffected by mast cell activation or stabilization, whereas those induced by the angiotensin-converting enzyme-resistant Ang I analog, [Pro11, D-Ala12] Ang I, were potentiated by C48/80. Altogether, the present study shows that mast cell activation enhances the mMCP-4-dependent vasoactive properties of big ET-1 but not Ang I in the mouse model. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: The current work demonstrates a significant role for mast cell stability in the cardiovascular pharmacology of big endothelin-1 but not angiotensin I in the murine systemic circulation.

Abstract
The endothelins comprise three structurally similar 21-amino acid peptides. Endothelin-1 and -2 activate two G-protein coupled receptors, ETA and ETB, with equal affinity, whereas endothelin-3 has a lower affinity for the ETA subtype. Genes encoding the peptides are present only among vertebrates. The ligand-receptor signaling pathway is a vertebrate innovation and may reflect the evolution of endothelin-1 as the most potent vasoconstrictor in the human cardiovascular system with remarkably long lasting action. Highly selective peptide ETA and ETB antagonists and ETB agonists together with radiolabeled analogs have accurately delineated endothelin pharmacology in humans and animal models, although surprisingly no ETA agonist has been discovered. ET antagonists (bosentan, ambrisentan) have revolutionized the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, with the next generation of antagonists exhibiting improved efficacy (macitentan). Clinical trials continue to explore new applications, particularly in renal failure and for reducing proteinuria in diabetic nephropathy. Translational studies suggest a potential benefit of ETB agonists in chemotherapy and neuroprotection. However, demonstrating clinical efficacy of combined inhibitors of the endothelin converting enzyme and neutral endopeptidase has proved elusive. Over 28 genetic modifications have been made to the ET system in mice through global or cell-specific knockouts, knock ins, or alterations in gene expression of endothelin ligands or their target receptors. These studies have identified key roles for the endothelin isoforms and new therapeutic targets in development, fluid-electrolyte homeostasis, and cardiovascular and neuronal function. For the future, novel pharmacological strategies are emerging via small molecule epigenetic modulators, biologicals such as ETB monoclonal antibodies and the potential of signaling pathway biased agonists and antagonists.
