Basal release of 6-cyanodopamine from rat isolated vas deferens and its role on the tissue contractility. Pflugers Arch 2024:10.1007/s00424-024-02985-2. [PMID: 38963545 DOI: 10.1007/s00424-024-02985-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2024] [Revised: 06/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024]
Abstract
6-Cyanodopamine is a novel catecholamine released from rabbit isolated heart. However, it is not known whether this catecholamine presents any biological activity. Here, it was evaluated whether 6-cyanodopamine (6-CYD) is released from rat vas deferens and its effect on this tissue contractility. Basal release of 6-CYD, 6-nitrodopamine (6-ND), 6-bromodopamine, 6-nitrodopa, and 6-nitroadrenaline from vas deferens were quantified by LC-MS/MS. Electric-field stimulation (EFS) and concentration-response curves to noradrenaline, adrenaline, and dopamine of the rat isolated epididymal vas deferens (RIEVD) were performed in the absence and presence of 6-CYD and /or 6-ND. Expression of tyrosine hydroxylase was assessed by immunohistochemistry. The rat isolated vas deferens released significant amounts of both 6-CYD and 6-ND. The voltage-gated sodium channel blocker tetrodotoxin had no effect on the release of 6-CYD, but it virtually abolished 6-ND release. 6-CYD alone exhibited a negligible RIEVD contractile activity; however, at 10 nM, 6-CYD significantly potentiated the noradrenaline- and EFS-induced RIEVD contractions, whereas at 10 and 100 nM, it also significantly potentiated the adrenaline- and dopamine-induced contractions. The potentiation of noradrenaline- and adrenaline-induced contractions by 6-CYD was unaffected by tetrodotoxin. Co-incubation of 6-CYD (100 pM) with 6-ND (10 pM) caused a significant leftward shift and increased the maximal contractile responses to noradrenaline, even in the presence of tetrodotoxin. Immunohistochemistry revealed the presence of tyrosine hydroxylase in both epithelial cell cytoplasm of the mucosae and nerve fibers of RIEVD. The identification of epithelium-derived 6-CYD and its remarkable synergism with catecholamines indicate that epithelial cells may regulate vas deferens smooth muscle contractility.

Abstract
Serotonin (5-HT) accumulates in the heart during myocardial ischaemia and induces deleterious effects on the cardiomyocytes. We aimed to investigate whether carrier-mediated 5-HT efflux contributed to the increase in interstitial 5-HT level during ischaemia. Using microdialysis technique applied to the heart of anaesthetised Wistar rats, myocardial interstitial concentration of 5-HT was measured by electro-chemical detection coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC-ECD) while simultaneously various pharmacological agents, which create a similar condition to ischaemia, were locally administered by reverse-microdialysis. Sodium cyanide-induced chemical anoxia increased dialysate 5-HT concentration. A similar increase in dialysate 5-HT concentration was induced by ouabain, an inhibitor of sodium-potassium ATPase and reserpine, an inhibitor of vesicular monoamine transporter. Fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor raised the baseline level of 5-HT, and neither sodium cyanide nor the combination of ouabain and reserpine induced further increase in 5-HT in the presence of fluoxetine. The results indicate that reverse transport of 5-HT via SERT, which is caused by an impaired ion gradient, contributes to the rise in interstitial level of 5-HT during ischaemia suggesting carrier-mediated 5-HT efflux occurs in the heart in vivo.

Mild Hypothermia Is Ineffective to Protect Against Myocardial Injury Induced by Chemical Anoxia or Forced Calcium Overload. J Cardiovasc Pharmacol 2020; 73:100-104.

Abstract
Although hypothermia suppresses myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, whether it also protects the myocardium against cellular stresses such as chemical anoxia and calcium overload remains unknown. We examined the effect of mild hypothermia (33°C) on myocardial injury during ischemia/reperfusion, local administration of sodium cyanide (chemical anoxia), or local administration of maitotoxin (forced Ca overload) using cardiac microdialysis applied to the feline left ventricle. Baseline myoglobin levels (in ng/mL) were 237 ± 57 and 150 ± 46 under normothermia and hypothermia, respectively (mean ± SE, n = 6 probes each). Coronary artery occlusion increased the myoglobin level to 2600 ± 424 under normothermia, which was suppressed to 1160 ± 149 under hypothermia (P < 0.05). Reperfusion further increased the myoglobin level to 6790 ± 1550 under normothermia, which was also suppressed to 2060 ± 343 under hypothermia (P < 0.05). By contrast, hypothermia did not affect the cyanide-induced myoglobin release (930 ± 130 vs. 912 ± 62, n = 6 probes each) or the maitotoxin-induced myoglobin release (2070 ± 511 vs. 2110 ± 567, n = 6 probes each). In conclusion, mild hypothermia does not make the myocardium resistant to cellular stresses such as chemical anoxia and forced Ca overload.

Abstract
Acute ischemia has been reported to impair sympathetic outflow distal to the ischemic area in various organs, whereas relatively little is known about this phenomenon in skeletal muscle. We examined how acute ischemia affects norepinephrine (NE) release at skeletal muscle sympathetic nerve endings. We implanted a dialysis probe into the adductor muscle in anesthetized rabbits and measured dialysate NE levels as an index of skeletal muscle interstitial NE levels. Regional ischemia was introduced by microsphere injection and ligation of the common iliac artery. The time courses of dialysate NE levels were examined during prolonged ischemia. Ischemia induced a decrease in the dialysate NE level (from 19+/-4 to 2.0+/-0 pg/ml, mean+/-S.E.), and then a progressive increase in the dialysate NE level. The increment in the dialysate NE level was examined with local administration of desipramine (DMI, a membrane NE transport inhibitor), omega-conotoxin GVIA (CTX, an N-type Ca(2+) channel blocker), or TMB-8 (an intracellular Ca(2+) antagonist). At 4h ischemia, the increment in the dialysate NE level (vehicle group, 143+/-30 pg/ml) was suppressed by TMB-8 (25+/-5 pg/ml) but not by DMI (128+/-10 pg/ml) or CTX (122+/-18 pg/ml). At 6h ischemia, the increment in the dialysate NE level was not suppressed by the pretreatment. Ischemia induced biphasic responses in the skeletal muscle. Initial reduction of NE release may be mediated by an impairment of axonal conduction and/or NE release function, while in the later phase, the skeletal muscle ischemia-induced NE release was partly attributable to exocytosis via intracellular Ca(2+) overload rather than opening of calcium channels or carrier mediated outward transport of NE.

Abstract
With the use of the microdialysis technique, we examined the modulatory effect of ketamine on catecholamine efflux from in vivo cardiac sympathetic nerve endings. A dialysis probe was implanted in the left ventricular myocardium, and dialysate norepinephrine (NE) levels in anesthetized cats were measured with liquid chromatogram-electrical detection. A 60-min occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery caused increases in dialysate NE levels. Through the dialysis probe, locally applied ketamine (10 mM) augmented the dialysate NE responses to coronary occlusion in the presence and absence of desipramine (membrane NE transport blocker). Thus, the ketamine-induced NE increment is not mediated through the neuronal NE transporter. The sympathomimetic action of ketamine may augment the NE efflux evoked by myocardial ischemia.

Abstract
To elucidate the pathophysiological roles of vagosympathetic interactions in ischemia-induced myocardial norepinephrine (NE) and acetylcholine (ACh) release, we measured myocardial interstitial NE and ACh levels in response to a left anterior descending coronary occlusion in the following groups of anesthetized cats: intact autonomic innervation (INT, n = 7); vagotomy (VX, n = 6); local administration of atropine (Atro, n = 6); transection of the stellate ganglia (TSG, n = 5); local administration of phentolamine (Phen, n = 6); and combined vagotomy and transection of the stellate ganglia (VX+TSG, n = 5). The maximum NE release was enhanced in the VX group (141 +/- 30 nmol/l, means +/- SE, P < 0.05) compared with the INT group (61 +/- 12 nmol/l). Neither the Atro (50 +/- 24 nmol/l) nor VX+TSG groups (84 +/- 25 nmol/l) showed enhanced NE release. The maximum ACh release was unaltered in the TSG and Phen groups compared with the INT group (19 +/- 4, 18 +/- 4, and 13 +/- 3 nmol/l, respectively). These findings indicate that the cardiac vagal afferent but not efferent activity reduced the ischemia-induced myocardial NE release. In contrast, the cardiac sympathetic afferent and efferent activities played little role in the ischemia-induced myocardial ACh release.
