dc.description.abstract | Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is an important modulator of the vascular tone and a proinflammatory molecule
that contributes to the vascular damage observed in hypertension. Peroxisome-proliferator activated
receptors-γ (PPARγ) agonists show cardioprotective properties by decreasing inflammatory
molecules such as COX-2 and reactive oxygen species (ROS), among others. We investigated the
possible modulatory effect of PPARγ activation on the vascular effects of ET-1 in hypertension. In
spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), but not in normotensive rats, ET-1 enhanced phenylephrineinduced
contraction through ETA by a mechanism dependent on activation of TP receptors by COX-2-
derived prostacyclin and reduction in NO bioavailability due to enhanced ROS production. In SHR, the
PPARγ agonist pioglitazone (2.5 mg/Kg·day, 28 days) reduced the increased ETA levels and increased
those of ETB. After pioglitazone treatment of SHR, ET-1 through ETB decreased ROS levels that
resulted in increased NO bioavailability and diminished phenylephrine contraction. In vascular smooth
muscle cells from SHR, ET-1 increased ROS production through AP-1 and NFκB activation, leading to
enhanced COX-2 expression. These effects were blocked by pioglitazone. In summary, in hypertension,
pioglitazone shifts the vascular ETA/ETB ratio, reduces ROS/COX-2 activation and increases NO
availability; these changes explain the effect of ET-1 decreasing phenylephrine-induced contraction. | es |
