چکیده انگلیسی
We investigated the effects of fasudil, a Rho kinase inhibitor, in the endothelial dysfunction of aortas from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). SHRs were divided in three groups; intraperitoneally (i.p.) vehicle-treated SHRs (SHR), SHRs treated with fasudil 3Â mg/kg i.p. (Fas3), and SHRs treated with fasudil 10Â mg/kg i.p. (Fas10). Vehicle-treated Wistar rats were used as normo-tensive control group. After a six-week-treatment, blood pressure and heart rate were measured by the tail cuff method. Afterwards animals were sacrificed and aortas were examined in vitro by organ bath studies to evaluate the contraction and relaxation ability. Rho kinase activity, myosin light chain (MLC), phosphorylated MLC (phospho-MLC), eNOS, phospho-eNOS protein expression and eNOS mRNA levels were evaluated. SHR demonstrated a significant hypercontractility and impaired relaxation compared to the control. Fasudil 10Â mg/kg significantly corrected the hypercontractility, restored the relaxation, and significantly decreased the mean arterial blood pressure, while no change observed in the systolic blood pressure. Rho kinase activity was significantly higher in the SHR, and was significantly inhibited by the high dose of fasudil. There was a slight up-regulation in the MLC, and phospho-MLC protein levels in the SHR. eNOS and phospho-eNOS protein levels were significantly lower in the SHR, and this abnormality was significantly normalized by fasudil treatment. No significant difference was observed in the eNOS gene expression. This study suggests that fasudil by inhibiting the Rho kinase activity normalizes the eNOS expression and phosphorylation and ameliorates the endothelial dysfunction induced by hypertension in the SHR model.
