Different role of endothelin ETA and ETB receptors and endothelial modulators in diabetes-induced hyperreactivity of the rabbit carotid artery to endothelin-1

The influence of diabetes on regulatory mechanisms and specific receptors implicated in the contractile response of isolated rabbit carotid arteries to endothelin-1 was examined. Endothelin-1 induced a concentration-dependent contraction that was greater in arteries from diabetic rabbits than in arteries from control rabbits. Endothelium removal or NG-nitro-l-arginine enhanced contractions in response to endothelin-1 only in control arteries, without modifying the endothelin-1 response in diabetic arteries. Indomethacin, furegrelate (thromboxane A2 inhibitor), or cyclo-(d-Asp-Pro-d-Val-Leu-d-Trp) (BQ-123; endothelin ETA receptor antagonist) inhibited the contractions in response to endothelin-1, the inhibition being greater in diabetic arteries than in control arteries. 2,6-Dimethylpiperidinecarbonyl-γ-methyl-Leu-Nin-(methoxycarbonyl)-d-Trp-d-Nle (BQ-788; endothelin ETB receptor antagonist) enhanced the contraction elicited by endothelin-1 in control arteries and displaced to the right the contractile curve for endothelin-1 in diabetic arteries. In summary, diabetes induces hyperreactivity of the rabbit carotid artery to endothelin-1 by a mechanism that at least includes: (1) enhanced activity of muscular endothelin ETA receptors; (2) impairment of endothelin ETB receptor-mediated nitric oxide (NO) release; and (3) enhancement of the production of thromboxane A2.
