Regulation of vascular tone and blood flow involves interactions between numerous local and systemic vascular control signals, many of which are altered by Type 2 diabetes (T2D). Vascular responses to endothelin-1 (ET-1) are mediated by endothelin type A (ETA) and type B (ETB) receptors that have been implicated in cross talk with alpha(1)-adrenoceptors (alpha(1)-AR). ETA and ETB receptor expression and plasma ET-1 levels are elevated in T2D; however, whether this influences coronary alpha(1)-AR function has not been examined. Therefore, we examined the effect of ETA and ETB receptor inhibition on coronary vasoconstriction to ET-1 and alpha(1)-AR activation in a mouse model of T2D. Coronary vascular responses were examined in isolated mouse hearts from control and diet-induced T2D C57BL/ 6J mice. Responses to ET-1 and the selective alpha(1)-AR agonist phenylephrine (PE) were examined alone and in the presence of the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor N-omega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) alone or in combination with selective ETA or ETB receptor inhibitors BQ-123 and BQ-788, respectively. Vasoconstriction to ET-1 was enhanced, whereas ETB, but not ETA, receptor blockade reduced basal coronary tone in T2D hearts. In the presence of L-NAME, ETA receptor inhibition attenuated ET-1 vasoconstriction in both groups, whereas ETB inhibition abolished this response only in control hearts. In addition, ETA inhibition enhanced alpha(1)-AR-mediated vasoconstriction in T2D, but not control, hearts following L-NAME treatment. Therefore, in this model, enhanced coronary ET-1 responsiveness is mediated primarily through smooth muscle ETB receptors, whereas the interaction with alpha(1)-ARs is mediated solely through the ETA receptor subtype.
