Guo P, Liu Y, Xu X, Ma G, Hou X, Fan Y, Zhang M. Coronary hypercontractility to acidosis owes to the greater activity of TMEM16A/ANO1 in the arterial smooth muscle cells. Biomed Pharmacother 2021; 139:111615. [PMID: 34243598 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2021.111615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2020] [Revised: 04/05/2021] [Accepted: 04/12/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe acidosis deteriorates cardiac injury. Rat coronary arteries (RCAs) are unusually hypercontractive to extracellular (o) acidosis (EA). TMEM16A-encoded anoctamin 1 (ANO1), a Ca2+-activated chloride channel (CaCC), plays an important role in regulating coronary arterial tension. PURPOSE We tested the possibility that the activation of CaCCs in the arterial smooth muscle cell (ASMC) contributes to EA-induced RCA constriction. METHODS ANO1 expression was detected with immunofluorescence staining and Western blot. TMEM16A mRNA was assessed with quantitative Real-Time PCR. Cl- currents and membrane potentials were quantified with a patch clamp. The vascular tension was recorded with a myograph. Intracellular (i) level of Cl- and Ca2+ was measured with fluorescent molecular probes. RESULTS ANO1 was expressed in all tested arterial myocytes, but was much more abundant in RCA ASMCs as compared with ASMCs isolated from rat cerebral basilar, intrarenal and mesenteric arteries. EA reduced [Cl-]i levels, augmented CaCC currents exclusively in RCA ASMCs and depolarized RCA ASMCs to a greater extent. Cl- deprivation, which depleted [Cl-]i by incubating the arteries or their ASMCs in Cl--free bath solution, decreased EA-induced [Cl-]i reduction, diminished EA-induced CaCC augmentation and time-dependently depressed EA-induced RCA constriction. Inhibitor studies showed that these EA-induced effects including RCA constriction, CaCC current augmentation, [Cl-]i reduction and/or [Ca2+]i elevation were depressed by various Cl- channel blockers, [Ca2+]i release inhibitors and L-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channel inhibitor nifedipine. ANO1 antibody attenuated all observed changes induced by EA in RCA ASMCs. CONCLUSION The greater activity of RCA ASMC CaCCs complicated with an enhanced Ca2+ mobilization from both [Ca2+]i release and [Ca2+]o influx plays a pivotal role in the distinctive hypercontractility of RCAs to acidosis. Translation of these findings to human beings may lead to a new conception in our understanding and treating cardiac complications in severe acidosis.

Permissive Hypercapnia Results in Decreased Functional Vessel Density in the Skin of Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants. Front Pediatr 2018; 6:52.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ventilator-induced lung injury with subsequent bronchopulmonary dysplasia remains an important issue in the care of extremely low-birth-weight infants. Permissive hypercapnia has been proposed to reduce lung injury. Hypercapnia changes cerebral perfusion, but its influence on the peripheral microcirculation is unknown. METHODS Data were collected from 12 infants, who were randomized to a permissive high PCO2 target group (HTG) or a control group (CG). Inclusion criteria were birth weight between 400 and 1,000 g, gestational age from 23 to 28 6/7 weeks, intubation during the first 24 h of life, and no malformations. The PCO2 target range was increased stepwise in both groups for weaning and was always 15 mmHg higher in the HTG than in the CG. Skin microvascular parameters were assessed non-invasively with sidestream dark field imaging on the inner side of the right arm every 24 h during the first week of life and on the 14th day of life. RESULTS Infants in the HTG had significantly higher max. PCO2 exposure, which was associated with a significantly and progressively reduced functional vessel density (FVD, p < 0.01). Moreover, there were significant differences in the diameter distribution over time, with HTG subjects having fewer small vessels but more large vessels. CONCLUSION High PCO2 levels significantly impaired peripheral microcirculation in preterm infants, as shown by a decreased FVD, presumably secondary to peripheral vasoconstriction. ISRCTN 56143743.

Abstract
The myogenic response is a process by which blood vessels autoregulate vascular smooth muscle tone in response to changes in transmural pressure. It is characterized by vessel contraction or dilation with increased or decreased pressure, respectively. We sought to identify whether acidosis impacts the myogenic response in rat coronary resistance arteries. Ventricular septal arteries were isolated from male Sprague-Dawley rats and mounted on a pressure myograph. The myogenic response was assessed by measuring the arterial diameter at pressures of 10-120 mm Hg. The fluorescence indicators 2',7'-bis-(carboxyethyl)-5(and-6)-carboxyfluorescein and Fura-2 were utilized to measure intracellular pH (pH(i)) and intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), respectively. A decrease in the extracellular pH (pH(o)) from 7.4 to 6.9 produced a fall in pH(i) and an increase in the myogenic response. Under nominally HCO (3) (-) /CO(2)-free conditions at a constant pH(o), blockade of the sodium-hydrogen exchanger with HOE694 also resulted in a fall in pH(i) and a similar enhancement of myogenic activity. Concentration response curves were constructed to measure the potencies of the HOE694 effects: the EC(50) was 34 microM for the pH(i) change and 19 microM for vessel constriction. Apparent [Ca(2+)](i) remained unchanged during HOE694-induced intracellular acidification. Furthermore, in the presence of HCO (3) (-) , HOE694 did not markedly affect pH(i) and vascular tone remained unaltered. Our data demonstrate that acidosis augments myogenic constriction of rat coronary arteries. These effects are due to a fall in pH(i) consequent upon the reduction in pH(o) and may reflect an increased myofilament [Ca(2+)](i) sensitivity within vascular smooth muscle cells.

Abstract
Perfluorochemicals (PFC) are chemical substances that have a high solubility for oxygen. This study investigated the effect of peritoneal lavage with oxygenated PFC (O2-PFC) against hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation (HS/R). Male Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized and bled to a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 30 to 35 mmHg for 120 min. The animals then were resuscitated over 20 min with an infusion of shed blood. Peritoneal lavage was performed by inflow and outflow of the PFC solution at 80 mL/h during the shock-resuscitation period. Rats were divided into four groups. Group I, HS without peritoneal lavage; Group II, HS with nitrogenated PFC (N2-PFC) lavage; Group III, HS with O2-PFC lavage; and Group IV, sham-operated rats. Seven of seven (100%) rats in Group IV and six of seven (85.7%) rats in Group III survived for 48 h, and one of seven (14.3%) rats in Group I and zero of seven rats in Group II survived (P < 0.01). In Group III rats, metabolic acidosis (assessed by blood gas analysis) and depression of intestinal blood flow (assessed by laser Doppler flowmetry) during HS were markedly ameliorated in comparison with those in Group I or Group II rats. The elevation of plasma TNF-alpha and IL-6 after HS/R were also attenuated in Group III. Histological study showed that O2-PFC lavage significantly decreased the degree of intestinal mucosal damage. We conclude that treatment with O2-PFC lavage ameliorated HS/R-induced metabolic acidosis and intestinal damage, which was associated with better mortality, possibly by preserving microvascular perfusion and maintaining oxygen metabolism.

Abstract
Endogenous retinoic acid may play a role in inducing smooth muscle differentiation in the fetal ductus arteriosus. Maternal administration of retinoic acid may accelerate the process. This study was designed to investigate the effect of vitamin A on developmental changes in the contractile system of the ductus. Vitamin A was injected into pregnant rats and the ductus was isolated from the fetus at 19, 20, or 21 d of gestation. The fetus at 19 d of gestation served as a model of the preterm fetus. The force of contraction and [Ca]i were measured. Membrane depolarization caused by high KCl induced ductal contraction in all age groups studied. In the 19-d fetus, O2 did not cause significant contraction or changes in [Ca]i in the control group, but it did induce a significant contraction and increases in [Ca]i in the vitamin A-treated group. In the 20- and 21-d fetuses, 5% O2-induced contraction in the vitamin A-treated group was significantly greater than in the control group. In the 19-d fetus, noradrenaline-induced contraction and increases in [Ca]i, indicators of the size of the intracellular Ca pool, were observed and they were similar in the control group and in the vitamin A-treated group. These data suggest that 1) in the preterm fetus, the contractile system, including membrane depolarization, [Ca]i increase, and its activation of contractile proteins, is already functioning, but the O2-sensing mechanism is underdeveloped, 2) vitamin A accelerates the development of the O2-sensing mechanism of the ductus arteriosus.

Abstract
The role of smooth muscle [Ca2+]i and membrane potential for the relaxation to hypercapnic (increased CO2) and normocapnic (unchanged CO2) acidosis is not complete understood. It is often stated that membrane hyperpolarization plays an important role but this has not been vigorously tested. In this study we investigated isolated rat cerebral small arteries under isobaric conditions. Lumen diameter was measured simultaneously with either [Ca2+]i or membrane potential, and acidosis was induced by increasing PCO2 or reducing HCO3- of the bathing solution or by adding HCI to a nominally bicarbonate-free solution. Confocal microscopy verified loading of smooth muscle cells with fluorescent dyes. Acidosis always reduced myogenic tone at transmural pressures between 20 and 120 mmHg. Acidification at a transmural pressure of 40 mmHg caused an increase in diameter and a decrease in [Ca2+]i. This was also seen in the presence of L-NNA and after depolarization with 50 mM K+. The response to hypercapnic and normocapnic acidosis was similar. However, while hypercapnic acidosis caused hyperpolarization, normocapnic acidosis caused depolarization. Dilatation, decrease of [Ca2+]i and depolarization, was also seen with reduction of pH in bicarbonate-free solution. We conclude that the isobaric relaxation to both hypercapnic and normocapnic acidosis is most likely mediated by a reduction of [Ca2+]i. Membrane potential may on the other hand not play a major role for this reduction of [Ca2+]i and it is possible that molecular CO2 has an effect on the membrane potential.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to determine developmental changes in the effect of respiratory acidosis on vascular smooth muscle contraction. Vessel diameter, intracellular pH (pHi), and calcium concentration ([Ca]i) were measured in a cannulated preparation of the small mesenteric artery of newborn and adult rabbits. In the artery precontracted by high KCl, acidosis caused a vasorelaxation both in the newborn and the adult; the vasorelaxation was greater in the newborn than in the adult. The fura-2 fluorescence ratio, an indicator of [Ca]i, decreased transiently during acidosis and the decrease was similar in the two age groups. In the artery precontracted by norepinephrine, acidosis caused a transient vasoconstriction in the adult and a vasorelaxation in the newborn. In these vessels, the fura-2 fluorescence ratio increased transiently during acidosis; the increase was similar in the two groups. Upon induction of acidosis, pHi fell rapidly in the artery precontracted by norepinephrine or high KCl, and the depression of pHi was similar in the two groups. In the skinned smooth muscle preparation, a tension-[Ca] relationship curve at pH 7.1 was not significantly different from that at pH 6.8 in the adult. In the newborn, the tension-[Ca] curve at pH 6.8 was shifted to the right, compared with that at pH 7.1. These data suggest that the vasorelaxant effect of respiratory acidosis in the premature vessel is greater than in the adult. The greater vasorelaxation in the newborn cannot be explained by the age-related difference in pHi or [Ca]i during acidosis. The greater sensitivity of myofibrils to low pHi in the newborn may, at least in part, be responsible for the greater vasorelaxation in this age group.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of acidosis on intracellular pH (pHi), intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca]i), and vascular contraction in the aorta of the newborn and adult rabbit. Isometric tension, pHi, and [Ca]i were measured in an isolated ring preparation. After the vascular contraction was induced with 50mM KC1, the effect of respiratory acidosis produced by elevation of PCO2 was studied. Respiratory acidosis caused a transient depression followed by a recovery of contractile tension. The decrease in developed tension was greater in the newborn than in the adult. The decrease in pHi during acidosis was similar in the two age groups. [Ca]i increased during acidosis and the increase was greater in the newborn than in the adult. These data show that the vasorelaxant effect of acidosis in the newborn aorta is greater than that in the adult aorta. The greater vasodilation in the newborn cannot be explained by the difference in pHi or [Ca]i.
