[SUPRESSION MECHANISMS OF ANGIOTENSIN II-INDUCED VASCULAR SPASM OF ISOLATED RAT PORTAL VEIN IN VITRO]. 2016

A A Spasov, and D S Yakodev, and A A Brigadirova

On the basis of the experimental model of angiotensin (Ang) II-induced vasoconstriction by means of the pharmacological agents with various mechanisms of vasoactive action (including verapamil, lidocaine, papaverine, atropine, phentolamine) dependence of Ang II-mediated vascular effect on the state of L-type voltage-dependent calcium channels, voltage-gated sodium channels, phosphodiesterase 3, acetylcholine muscarinic receptors, α-adrenergic receptors were investigated. As a result of the detailed studying of mechanisms of Ang II-mediated vascular effect, it was confirmed that Ang II-induced contraction of isolated rat portal vein depends on the influx of extracellular Ca 2+ through L-type voltage-dependent calcium channels, is less dependent on the phosphodiesterase 3 activity, but it's not dependent on the functional properties of voltage-gated sodium channels, acetylcholine muscarinic receptors and α-adrenergic receptors.

D011169	Portal Vein	A short thick vein formed by union of the superior mesenteric vein and the splenic vein.	Portal Veins,Vein, Portal,Veins, Portal
D011942	Receptors, Adrenergic, alpha	One of the two major pharmacological subdivisions of adrenergic receptors that were originally defined by the relative potencies of various adrenergic compounds. The alpha receptors were initially described as excitatory receptors that post-junctionally stimulate SMOOTH MUSCLE contraction. However, further analysis has revealed a more complex picture involving several alpha receptor subtypes and their involvement in feedback regulation.

D011976	Receptors, Muscarinic	One of the two major classes of cholinergic receptors. Muscarinic receptors were originally defined by their preference for MUSCARINE over NICOTINE. There are several subtypes (usually M1, M2, M3....) that are characterized by their cellular actions, pharmacology, and molecular biology.

D000804	Angiotensin II	An octapeptide that is a potent but labile vasoconstrictor. It is produced from angiotensin I after the removal of two amino acids at the C-terminal by ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME. The amino acid in position 5 varies in different species. To block VASOCONSTRICTION and HYPERTENSION effect of angiotensin II, patients are often treated with ACE INHIBITORS or with ANGIOTENSIN II TYPE 1 RECEPTOR BLOCKERS.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D054684	Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterases, Type 3	A cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase subfamily that is inhibited by the binding of CYCLIC GMP to an allosteric domain found on the enzyme and through phosphorylation by regulatory kinases such as PROTEIN KINASE A and PROTEIN KINASE B. The two members of this family are referred to as type 3A, and type 3B, and are each product of a distinct gene. In addition multiple enzyme variants of each subtype can be produced due to multiple alternative mRNA splicing.
