Cl- efflux induces depolarization and contraction of smooth muscle cells. This study was undertaken to explore the role of Cl- channels in endothelin-1 (ET-1)-induced contraction in rabbit basilar artery. Male New Zealand White rabbits (n=26), weighing 1.8-2.5 kg, were euthanized by an overdose of pentobarbital. The basilar arteries were removed for isometric tension recording. ET-1 produced a concentration-dependent contraction of the rabbit basilar artery in the normal Cl- Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate buffer (123 mM Cl-). The ET-1-induced contraction was reduced by the following manipulations: 1) inhibition of Na+-K+-2Cl(-) cotransporter with bumetanide (3 x 10-(5) and 10(-4) M), 2) bicarbonate- free solution to disable Cl-/HCO3- exchanger, and 3) preincubation of rings with the Cl- channel blockers niflumic acid, 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino) benzoic acid, and indanyloxyacetic acid 94. The ET-1-induced contraction was enhanced by substitution of extracellular Cl- (10 mM) with methanesulfonic acid (113 mM). Cl- channels are involved in ET-1-induced contraction in the rabbit basilar artery.
