Epidemiological evidence suggests a role for sex-dependent mechanisms in the pathophysiology of hypertension. It has been shown that 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) administration (56 mg/kg of body weight per day IP for 14 days) increases blood pressure, cytochrome P450 4A expression, and 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid synthesis in rats. We examined whether increased vascular 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid synthesis underlies endothelial dysfunction and hypertension in DHT-treated male Sprague-Dawley rats by using HET0016, a selective cytochrome P450 4A inhibitor. Coadministration of HET0016 (10 mg/kg per day IP for 14 days) to DHT-treated rats markedly reduced DHT-induced interlobar arterial production of 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (14.3 +/- 1.5 versus 1.5 +/- 0.5 ng/mg of protein per hour; P < 0.05), superoxide anion (246 +/- 47 versus 31 +/- 8 cpm/mu g of protein), and the levels of gp91-phox, p47-phox, and 3-nitrosylated proteins. Moreover, the maximal relaxing response to acetylcholine in phenylephrine-preconstricted renal interlobar arteries from DHT-treated rats (42.8 +/- 4.8%) significantly (P < 0.05) increased in the presence of HET0016 (81.5 +/- 10.8%). Importantly, the administration of HET0016 negated DHT-induced hypertension; systolic blood pressure was reduced from 146 +/- 2 mm Hg in DHT-treated rats to 130 +/- 1 mmHg (P < 0.05). The results strongly implicate vascular cytochrome P450 4A - derived 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid in the development of androgen-induced endothelial dysfunction and hypertension.
