Mysiewicz S, North KC, Moreira L, Odum SJ, Bukiya AN, Dopico AM. Interspecies and regional variability of alcohol action on large cerebral arteries: regulation by KCNMB1 proteins. Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 2023; 324:R480-R496. [PMID: 36717168 PMCID: PMC10027090 DOI: 10.1152/ajpregu.00103.2022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2022] [Revised: 01/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Alcohol intake leading to blood ethanol concentrations (BEC) ≥ legal intoxication modifies brain blood flow with increases in some regions and decreases in others. Brain regions receive blood from the Willis' circle branches: anterior, middle (MCA) and posterior cerebral (PCA), and basilar (BA) arteries. Rats and mice have been used to identify the targets mediating ethanol-induced effects on cerebral arteries, with conclusions being freely interchanged, albeit data were obtained in different species/arterial branches. We tested whether ethanol action on cerebral arteries differed between male rat and mouse and/or across different brain regions and identified the targets of alcohol action. In both species and all Willis' circle branches, ethanol evoked reversible and concentration-dependent constriction (EC50s ≈ 37-86 mM; below lethal BEC in alcohol-naïve humans). Although showing similar constriction to depolarization, both species displayed differential responses to ethanol: in mice, MCA constriction was highly sensitive to the presence/absence of the endothelium, whereas in rat PCA was significantly more sensitive to ethanol than its mouse counterpart. In the rat, but not the mouse, BA was more ethanol sensitive than other branches. Both interspecies and regional variability were ameliorated by endothelium. Selective large conductance (BK) channel block in de-endothelialized vessels demonstrated that these channels were the effectors of alcohol-induced cerebral artery constriction across regions and species. Variabilities in alcohol actions did not fully matched KCNMB1 expression across vessels. However, immunofluorescence data from KCNMB1-/- mouse arteries electroporated with KCNMB1-coding cDNA demonstrate that KCNMB1 proteins, which regulate smooth muscle (SM) BK channel function and vasodilation, regulate interspecies and regional variability of brain artery responses to alcohol.

Abstract
Prenatal alcohol exposure results in an array of developmental abnormalities known as fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs). Despite the high prevalence of FASDs, therapeutic interventions against accidental or intended exposure of developing fetuses to alcohol are limited. This review outlines current knowledge about mitochondria in cerebral blood vessels as a potential target for anti-FASDs intervention. First, it describes the multifaceted role of mitochondria in maintaining the cerebral artery diameter as shown in adult tissue. Second, current literature on alcohol-driven damage of mitochondrial morphology and function in several fetal tissues, including liver, heart, and brain is summarized. The functional consequences of alcohol exposure in these organs include morphological enlargement of mitochondria, increased oxidative stress, and alteration of cellular respiration. These studies point to a tissue-specific effect of alcohol on mitochondrial function and a particular vulnerability of fetal mitochondria to alcohol exposure when compared to adult counterparts. Third, recent work from our group describing persistent changes in fetal baboon cerebral artery proteome following three episodes of prenatal alcohol exposure is reviewed. In conclusion, the consequences of prenatal alcohol exposure on cerebral artery mitochondria constitute an open field of investigation and, eventually, a point of therapeutic intervention against FASDs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to establish a co-culture model of mouse neurons and microglial cells, and to analyze the mechanism of action of oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) and transient oxygen glucose deprivation (tOGD) preconditioning cell models. RESULTS Mouse primary neurons and BV2 microglial cells were successfully cultured, and the OGD and tOGD models were also established. In the co-culture of mouse primary neurons and microglial cells, the cell number of tOGD mouse neurons and microglial cells was larger than the OGD cell number, observed by a microscope. CCK-8 assay result showed that at 1h after treatment, the OD value in the control group is lower compared to all the other three groups (P < 0.05). The treatment group exhibited the highest OD value among the four groups. The results observed at 5h were consistent with the results at 1 h. Flow cytometry results showed that at 1h after treatment the apoptosis percentages is higher in the control group compared to other three groups (P < 0.05). MATERIALS AND METHODS Mouse brain tissues were collected and primary neurons cells were cultured. In the meantime mouse BV2 microglia cells were cultured. Two types of cells were co-cultured, and OGD and tOGD cell models were established. There were four groups in the experiment: control group (OGD), treatment group (tOGD+OGD), placebo group (tOGD+OGD+saline) and minocycline intervention group (tOGD+OGD+minocycline). CCK-8 kit was used to detect cell viability and flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS In this study, mouse primary neurons and microglial cells were co-cultured. The OGD and tOGD models were established successfully. tOGD was able to effectively protect neurons and microglial cells from damage, and inhibit the apoptosis caused by oxygen glucose deprivation.

Abstract
Blast traumatic brain injury (bTBI) affects both military and civilian populations, and often results in chronic deficits in cognition and memory. Chronic glial activation after bTBI has been linked with cognitive decline. Pharmacological inhibition of sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1) with glibenclamide was shown previously to reduce glial activation and improve cognition in contusive models of CNS trauma, but has not been examined in bTBI. We postulated that glibenclamide would reduce chronic glial activation and improve long-term memory function after bTBI. Using a rat direct cranial model of bTBI (dc-bTBI), we evaluated the efficacy of two glibenclamide treatment paradigms: glibenclamide prophylaxis (pre-treatment), and treatment with glibenclamide starting after dc-bTBI (post-treatment). Our results show that dc-bTBI caused hippocampal astrocyte and microglial/macrophage activation that was associated with hippocampal memory dysfunction (rapid place learning paradigm) at 28days, and that glibenclamide pre-treatment, but not post-treatment, effectively protected against glial activation and memory dysfunction. We also report that a brief transient time-window of blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption occurs after dc-bTBI, and we speculate that glibenclamide, which is mostly protein bound and does not normally traverse the intact BBB, can undergo CNS delivery only during this brief transient opening of the BBB. Together, our findings indicate that prophylactic glibenclamide treatment may help to protect against chronic cognitive sequelae of bTBI in warfighters and other at-risk populations.

Abstract
Vascular tone of resistance arteries and arterioles determines peripheral vascular resistance, contributing to the regulation of blood pressure and blood flow to, and within the body's tissues and organs. Ion channels in the plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in these blood vessels importantly contribute to the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration, the primary determinant of SMC contractile activity and vascular tone. Ion channels provide the main source of activator Ca2+ that determines vascular tone, and strongly contribute to setting and regulating membrane potential, which, in turn, regulates the open-state-probability of voltage gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs), the primary source of Ca2+ in resistance artery and arteriolar SMCs. Ion channel function is also modulated by vasoconstrictors and vasodilators, contributing to all aspects of the regulation of vascular tone. This review will focus on the physiology of VGCCs, voltage-gated K+ (KV) channels, large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BKCa) channels, strong-inward-rectifier K+ (KIR) channels, ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels, ryanodine receptors (RyRs), inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs), and a variety of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels that contribute to pressure-induced myogenic tone in resistance arteries and arterioles, the modulation of the function of these ion channels by vasoconstrictors and vasodilators, their role in the functional regulation of tissue blood flow and their dysfunction in diseases such as hypertension, obesity, and diabetes. © 2017 American Physiological Society.

Mitochondrial uncoupler carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone induces vasorelaxation without involving K ATP channel activation in smooth muscle cells of arteries. Br J Pharmacol 2016; 173:3145-3158.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The effects and mechanisms of chemical mitochondrial uncouplers on vascular function have never been identified. Here, we characterized the effects of the typical mitochondrial uncoupler carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) on vascular function in rat mesenteric arteries and aorta and elucidated the potential mechanisms. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Isometric tension of mesenteric artery and thoracic aorta was recorded by using a multiwire myograph system. Protein levels were measured by western blot analyses. Cytosolic [Ca2+ ]i , mitochondrial ROS (mitoROS) and mitochondrial membrane potential of smooth muscle cells (A10) were measured by laser scanning confocal microscopy. KEY RESULTS Acute treatment with CCCP relaxed phenylephrine (PE)- and high K+ (KPSS)-induced constriction of rat mesenteric arteries with intact and denuded endothelium. Pretreatment with CCCP prevented PE- and KPSS-induced constriction of rat mesenteric arteries with intact and denuded endothelium. Similarly, CCCP prevented PE- and KPSS-induced constriction of rat thoracic aorta. CCCP increased the cellular ADP/ATP ratio in vascular smooth muscle cells (A10) and activated AMPK in A10 cells and rat thoracic aorta tissues. CCCP-induced aorta relaxation was attenuated in AMPK α1 knockout (-/-) mice. SERCA inhibitors thapsigargin and cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) but not the KATP channel blocker glibenclamide partially inhibited CCCP-induced vasorelaxation in endothelium-denuded rat mesenteric arteries. CCCP increased cytosolic [Ca2+ ]i , mitoROS production and depolarized mitochondrial membrane potential in A10 cells. FCCP, the analogue of CCCP, had similar vasoactivity as CCCP in rat mesenteric arteries. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS CCCP induces vasorelaxation by a mechanism that does not involve KATP channel activation in smooth muscle cells of arteries.

Abstract
Potassium channels importantly contribute to the regulation of vascular smooth muscle (VSM) contraction and growth. They are the dominant ion conductance of the VSM cell membrane and importantly determine and regulate membrane potential. Membrane potential, in turn, regulates the open-state probability of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCC), Ca2+ influx through VGCC, intracellular Ca2+, and VSM contraction. Membrane potential also affects release of Ca2+ from internal stores and the Ca2+ sensitivity of the contractile machinery such that K+ channels participate in all aspects of regulation of VSM contraction. Potassium channels also regulate proliferation of VSM cells through membrane potential-dependent and membrane potential-independent mechanisms. VSM cells express multiple isoforms of at least five classes of K+ channels that contribute to the regulation of contraction and cell proliferation (growth). This review will examine the structure, expression, and function of large conductance, Ca2+-activated K+ (BKCa) channels, intermediate-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (KCa3.1) channels, multiple isoforms of voltage-gated K+ (KV) channels, ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels, and inward-rectifier K+ (KIR) channels in both contractile and proliferating VSM cells.

Abstract
ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels are well characterized in cardiac,
pancreatic and many other muscle cells. In the present study, functional expression of the
KATP channel was examined in non-pregnant murine longitudinal myometrium.
Isometric contraction measurements and Western blot were used. KATP channel
openers (KCOs), such as pinacidil, cromakalim, diazoxide and nicorandil, inhibited
spontaneous myometrial contractions in a reversible and glibenclamide-sensitive manner.
KCOs inhibited oxytocin (OXT)- and prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α)-induced
phasic contractions in a glibenclamide-sensitive manner. SUR2B and Kir6.2 were detected by
Western blot, whereas SUR1, SUR2A and Kir6.1 were not. These results show that pinacidl,
cromakalim, diazoxide and nicorandil-sensitive KATP channels exist in murine
myometrium, which are composed of SUR2B and Kir6.2. Based on the modulatory effects of the
KATP channel on spontaneous contraction, OXT- and PGF2α-induced
contractions, KATP channels seem to play an essential role in murine myometrial
motility via activation of SUR2B and Kir6.2.

Abstract
The ABCC9 gene and its polypeptide product, SUR2, are increasingly implicated in human neurologic disease, including prevalent diseases of the aged brain. SUR2 proteins are a component of the ATP-sensitive potassium ("KATP") channel, a metabolic sensor for stress and/or hypoxia that has been shown to change in aging. The KATP channel also helps regulate the neurovascular unit. Most brain cell types express SUR2, including neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglia, vascular smooth muscle, pericytes, and endothelial cells. Thus it is not surprising that ABCC9 gene variants are associated with risk for human brain diseases. For example, Cantu syndrome is a result of ABCC9 mutations; we discuss neurologic manifestations of this genetic syndrome. More common brain disorders linked to ABCC9 gene variants include hippocampal sclerosis of aging (HS-Aging), sleep disorders, and depression. HS-Aging is a prevalent neurological disease with pathologic features of both neurodegenerative (aberrant TDP-43) and cerebrovascular (arteriolosclerosis) disease. As to potential therapeutic intervention, the human pharmacopeia features both SUR2 agonists and antagonists, so ABCC9/SUR2 may provide a "druggable target", relevant perhaps to both HS-Aging and Alzheimer's disease. We conclude that more work is required to better understand the roles of ABCC9/SUR2 in the human brain during health and disease conditions.

Blood pressure can vary considerably during anesthesia. If blood pressure falls outside the limits of cerebrovascular autoregulation, children can become at risk of cerebral ischemic or hyperemic injury. However, the blood pressure limits of autoregulation are unclear in infants and children, and these limits can shift after brain injury. This article will review autoregulation, considerations for the hemodynamic management of children with brain injuries, and research on autoregulation monitoring techniques.
