Neuronal nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to modulate perivascular adrenergic neurotransmission by inhibiting noradrenaline release from terminals in rat mesenteric arteries. This study was conducted to investigate changes in the inhibitory function of NO-containing nerves (nitrergic nerves) in mesenteric vascular beds of 2-kidney, 1-clip renovascular hypertensive rats (2K1C-RHR). Rat mesenteric vascular beds without endothelium were perfused with Krebs solution and the perfusion pressure was measured. In preparations from sham-operated rats (control) and 2K1C-RHRs, vasoconstriction induced by periarterial nerve stimulation (PNS; 2-8 Hz), but not vasoconstriction induced by exogenously injected noradrenaline (0.5, 1.0 nmol), was markedly facilitated in the presence of a nonselective NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor, N-omega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) (100 microM). The facilitatory effect of L-NAME in preparations from 2K1C-RHR was smaller than that in control preparations. L-NAME augmented PNS-evoked noradrenaline release, which was smaller in 2K1C-RHRs than in controls. The expression of neuronal NO synthase (nNOS) measured by western blotting in mesenteric arteries from 2K1C-RHRs was significantly decreased compared with control arteries. Immunohistochemical staining of mesenteric arteries showed dense innervation of nNOS-immunopositive nerves that was significantly smaller in arteries from 2K1C-RHR than that in control arteries. Mesenteric arteries were densely innervated by tyrosine hydroxylase-immunopositive nerves, which coalesced with nNOS-immunopositive nerves. These results suggest that the inhibitory function of nitrergic nerves in adrenergic neurotransmission is significantly decreased in 2K1C-RHRs. This functional alteration based on the decrease in nNOS expression and nitrergic innervation leads to enhanced adrenergic neurotransmission and contributes to the initiation and development of renovascular hypertension.

D009435 Synaptic Transmission The communication from a NEURON to a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) across a SYNAPSE. In chemical synaptic transmission, the presynaptic neuron releases a NEUROTRANSMITTER that diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to specific synaptic receptors, activating them. The activated receptors modulate specific ion channels and/or second-messenger systems in the postsynaptic cell. In electrical synaptic transmission, electrical signals are communicated as an ionic current flow across ELECTRICAL SYNAPSES.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D013564 Sympathetic Nervous System The thoracolumbar division of the autonomic nervous system. Sympathetic preganglionic fibers originate in neurons of the intermediolateral column of the spinal cord and project to the paravertebral and prevertebral ganglia, which in turn project to target organs. The sympathetic nervous system mediates the body's response to stressful situations, i.e., the fight or flight reactions. It often acts reciprocally to the parasympathetic system.
