Accumulation of inflammatory cells and altered responsiveness to vasoactive mediators are commonly observed events in atherosclerotic vessels. We studied the effect of monocytic cells on endothelin-1 (ET-1)-induced contraction of strips of guinea pig carotid artery. The vascular contractile potency of ET-1 was increased markedly in the presence of human peripheral blood monocytes, guinea pig alveolar macrophages (M phi), and the human monocytic cell line, THP-1. Specific binding of 125I-labeled ET-1 to these cells was detected, and Scatchard analysis indicated a dissociation constant value of approximately 1 nM. In contrast, the human monocytic cell line, U-937, failed to bind 125I-ET-1 and did not alter ET-1 potency, suggesting that the ability of monocytic cells to increase ET-1 potency requires expression of ET receptors. Selective inhibition of ET-1 binding to vascular smooth muscle with BQ-123, an ETA receptor antagonist that does not inhibit ET-1 binding to monocytes, resulted in complete inhibition of vascular contraction. These data indicate that ET-1-induced vasoconstriction may be increased by monocytic cells via stimulation of monocyte endothelin receptors.
