Vascular tonus is regulated centrally by neuronal factors and locally by blood flow. These responses are modulated by endogenous vasoactive substances. About a century ago, Bayliss reported that an increment of pressure inside of an artery elicited passive dilation followed by a constriction of the artery without neuronal regulation.' Later this effect was demonstrated to be endothelium dependent. The constriction was induced by vasoconstrictive prostanoids released from the endothelial cells via activation of a stretch receptor on the cells.* It has also been known for many years that the caliber of the artery is regulated by blood flow. This response is also endothelium mediated. On the other hand, in the past decade, several papers have reported that endothelial cells produce several vasoconstrictors and vasodilator^.^ Those findings reinforced the concept of a flow-dependent mechanism of vasodilation and vasoconstriction. In peripheral vascular beds, increase in shear stress is followed by increase in the diameter resulting from release of the relaxing factor from endothelium. Consequently, the shear stress decrease^,^ and vascular tonus is maintained at the control level. When the vascular beds of rat skeletal muscle were perfused with constant flow rate, shear stress was approximately constant regardless of the difference of the caliber of blood vessels. The larger the diameter, the more rapidly the bloodstream flows. Impairment of endothelium, however, abolished the feedback mechanism, resulting in an increase in vascular resistance. The vascular beds did not dilate in response to the increase in blood flow in this case. The relaxing factor released from endothelium in response to an increase in shear stress is partly nitric oxide.5 Constricting factor(s) were also demonstrated to be released from endothelial cells. An endothelium-derived peptidergic constricting factor was identified in the supernatant of the cultured endothelial cells, and named endothelin (ET).6 Production and release of this peptide are also regulated by blood flow. The ET produced probably regulates locally the vascular tonus. In this article, possible mechanisms of ET-regulated vascular tonus and transition of phenotypes of the cells in vascular beds will be discussed.
