[PMID: 36889668 PMCID: PMC10258165 DOI: 10.1016/j.mvr.2023.104516] [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: 01/17/2023] [Revised: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023]
Abstract
Control of microvascular reactivity by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT; serotonin) is complex and may depend on vascular bed type and 5-HT receptors. 5-HT receptors consist of seven families (5-HT1-5-HT7), with 5-HT2 predominantly mediating renal vasoconstriction. Cyclooxygenase (COX) and smooth muscle intracellular Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]i) have been implicated in 5-HT-induced vascular reactivity. Although 5-HT receptor expression and circulating 5-HT levels are known to be dependent on postnatal age, control of neonatal renal microvascular function by 5-HT is unclear. In the present study, we demonstrate that 5-HT stimulated human TRPV4 transiently expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells. 5-HT2A is the predominant 5-HT2 receptor subtype in freshly isolated neonatal pig renal microvascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). HC-067047 (HC), a selective TRPV4 blocker, attenuated cation currents induced by 5-HT in the SMCs. HC also inhibited the 5-HT-induced increase in renal microvascular [Ca2+]i and constriction. Intrarenal artery infusion of 5-HT had minimal effects on systemic hemodynamics but reduced renal blood flow (RBF) and increased renal vascular resistance (RVR) in the pigs. Transdermal measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) indicated that kidney infusion of 5-HT reduced GFR. HC and 5-HT2 receptor antagonist ritanserin attenuated 5-HT effects on RBF, RVR, and GFR. Moreover, the serum and urinary COX-1 and COX-2 levels in 5-HT-treated piglets were unchanged compared with the control. These data suggest that activation of renal microvascular SMC TRPV4 channels by 5-HT impairs kidney function in neonatal pigs independently of COX production.

Abstract
Elevated mechanical stress applied to vascular walls is well known to modulate vascular remodeling and plays a part in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. On the other hand, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, has been shown to protect against several types of cardiovascular diseases including atherosclerosis and hypertension. The aim of this study was to clarify the effect of pulsatile pressure stress and DHA on angiotensin II-induced proliferation and migration in A7r5 vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Pulsatile pressure of between 80 and 160 mmHg was repeatedly applied to VSMCs at a frequency of 4 cycles per min using an apparatus that we developed. Cell proliferation and migration were evaluated using a live cell movie analyzer. Application of pulsatile pressure stress for 24 h significantly increased cell proliferation. Angiotensin II also significantly increased cell proliferation in the presence or absence of pressure stress. DHA significantly inhibited angiotensin II-induced cell proliferation regardless of the pressure load. Angiotensin II significantly induced cell migration regardless of the pulsatile pressure load. Pulsatile pressure stress alone slightly, but not significantly, induced cell migration. DHA inhibited angiotensin II-induced VSMC proliferation and migration under abnormal pressure conditions. Pressure stress tended to induce extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation in the absence of angiotensin II, whereas it significantly induced ERK phosphorylation in the presence of angiotensin II. However, the pressure-induced ERK phosphorylation was not observed in the DHA-treated VSMCs. Our findings may contribute to the understanding of the beneficial effect of DHA on various cardiovascular disorders.
