The vasodilating effect of substance P (SP) at the microvascular level is endothelium-dependent. In the present study we evaluated whether SP activates nitric oxide (NO) production by venular endothelial cell. We evaluated NO activation by measuring cyclic GMP levels in cultured endothelial cells isolated from coronary postcapillary venules of bovine origin (CVEC). Our results indicate that 5 min exposure of CVEC to 10 nM SP doubled basal cyclic GMP levels. Cell treatment with the NO synthase inhibitor L-NMMA reduced the basal levels of cyclic GMP and abolished the effect of SP but did not modify the increase in cyclic GMP in response to exogenous NO. These data indicate that a) microvascular endothelium responds in an autocrine fashion to NO with increased cyclic GMP levels, b) SP activates cyclic GMP pathway through NO production.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009569 Nitric Oxide A free radical gas produced endogenously by a variety of mammalian cells, synthesized from ARGININE by NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE. Nitric oxide is one of the ENDOTHELIUM-DEPENDENT RELAXING FACTORS released by the vascular endothelium and mediates VASODILATION. It also inhibits platelet aggregation, induces disaggregation of aggregated platelets, and inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium. Nitric oxide activates cytosolic GUANYLATE CYCLASE and thus elevates intracellular levels of CYCLIC GMP.

D006152 Cyclic GMP Guanosine cyclic 3',5'-(hydrogen phosphate). A guanine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to the sugar moiety in both the 3'- and 5'-positions. It is a cellular regulatory agent and has been described as a second messenger. Its levels increase in response to a variety of hormones, including acetylcholine, insulin, and oxytocin and it has been found to activate specific protein kinases.
