Endothelial membrane hyperpolarization mediated by KCa3.1 and KCa2.3 channels has been demonstrated to initiate endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF)-type vasodilations. Moreover, pharmacological potentiation of KCa3.1/KCa2.3 channels has been suggested to improve EDHF-type vasodilations. Here we determined whether the KCa3.1/KCa2.3 activator SKA-31 and its derivative SKA-20 improve endothelial dysfunction in KCa3.1−/− and NOS3−/− mice. Membrane potentials were measured using patch-clamp electrophysiology on carotid artery (CA) endothelial cells (CAEC) from wild-type (wt) and KCa3.1−/− mice. Endothelium-dependent vasodilations were determined by pressure myography in CA. SKA-31 (1 µmol L-1) activated KCa3.1 and KCa2.3 channels and induced membrane hyperpolarization in CAEC of wt (ΔMP –45mV). These responses were significantly reduced in CAEC of KCa3.1−/− (ΔMP –8mV). SKA-31 (200 nmol L-1, 500 nmol L-1) and SKA-20 (300 nmol L-1) significantly enhanced EDHF-vasodilations in wt. SKA-20 also improved vasodilations during NO-synthesis. In KCa3.1−/−, the defective EDHF-vasodilations were unchanged at 200 nmol L-1 SKA-31, but were significantly improved at 500 nmol L-1. EDHF-vasodilations were slightly enhanced at 300 nmol L-1 SKA-20, but vasodilations during NO-synthesis were unchanged. SKA-31 (500 nmol L-1) enhanced the impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation in NOS3−/− mice 2-fold. Pharmacological inhibition of the soluble epoxide hydrolase by t-AUCB (1 µmol L-1) in contrast did not increase ACh-induced EDHF- or NO-mediated vasodilations in wt and KCa3.1−/−. Normal and defective endothelium-dependent vasodilations in murine carotid arteries can be improved by pharmacological enhancement of KCa3.1/KCa2.3 functions. These findings further support the concept that pharmacological activation of endothelial KCa2.3/KCa3.1 could offer a novel endothelium-specific antihypertensive strategy.
