This study was designed to examine the contribution of lipoxygenase products to mechanisms of vascular contraction and elevated blood pressure in rats with aortic coarctation-induced hypertension. In cytosolic fractions of aortae taken from hypertensive rats, 12-lipoxygenase protein was increased as compared to normotensive controls. Aortic rings from hypertensive, but not from normotensive rats, exhibited a basal tone which was reduced 74+/-12 and 71+/-22%, respectively, by the lipoxygenase inhibitors cinnamyl-3,4-dihydroxy-alpha-cyanocinnamate (CDC,10(-5) mol/L) and 5,8,11-eicosatriynoic acid (ETI, 10(-5) mol/L). CDC (8mg/kg sc) did not affect the blood pressure of normotensive rats but decreased that of hypertensive rats from 182+/-6 to 151+/-10 mm Hg. The blood pressure lowering effect of CDC was blunted in hypertensive rats pretreated with indomethacin or antibodies against 5,6-dihydro-prostaglandin I-2. These data suggest contribution of lipoxygenase-derived products to mechanisms underlying aortic smooth muscle basal tone and elevated blood pressure in rats with aortic coarctation-induced hypertension. The vasodepressor effect of CDC depends on a mechanism involving vasodilatory prostaglandins.
