Abstract

The goal of this study was to determine the cellular mecha­nisms of vascular endothelial dysfunction in rats irradiated with Y-rays. Acetylcholine (Ach)-induced relaxation of rat tho­racic aorta rings was measured as a test of endothelial integrity and function. The data obtained allow suggest that endothelial function is impaired in aorta from g-irradiated rats mainly due to the loss of EDRF/NO-dependent, but not EDHF-dependent relaxation. It has been shown that г-irradiation reduced the Ach-induced NO-release measured as nitrite anion content. Experiments on isolated rat aortic smooth muscle cells using whole-cell patch clamp technique demonstrated that irradiation led to a significant decrease in outward potassium currents. However, Y-ray irradiation was without effect on K+-current carried through apamine-sensitive channels while the current through charybdotoxin-sensitive channels was increased as compared to cells from control animals. The data suggest that EDHF is resistant to ionized radiation and may constitute a crucial reserve mechanism for maintenance of blood flow un­der radiation. Therefore, it is likely that the subsequent stud­ies related to EDHF identification will be important for new drugs development and targeted pharmacological intervention at endothelium dysfunction in case of radiation impact.
