We tested whether dilation of outer medullary descending vasa recta (OMDVR) is mediated by cAMP, nitric oxide (NO), and cyclooxygenase (COX). Adenosine (A; 10−6M)-induced vasodilation of ANG II (10−9M)-preconstricted OMDVR was mimicked by the cAMP analog 8-bromoadenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (10−10to 10−4M) and reversed by the adenylate cyclase inhibitor SQ-22536. Adenosine (10−4M) stimulated OMDVR cAMP production greater than threefold. NO synthase blockade withNG-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester andNG-monomethyl-l-arginine (10−4M) did not affect adenosine vasodilation. Adenosine induced endothelial cytoplasmic calcium transients that were small. Indomethacin (10−6M) reversed adenonsine-induced dilation of OMDVR preconstricted with ANG II, endothelin, 4-bromo-calcium ionophore A23187, or carbocyclic thromboxane A2. In contrast, selective A2-receptor activation dilated endothelin-preconstricted OMDVR even in the presence of indomethacin. We conclude that OMDVR vasodilation by adenosine involves cAMP and COX but not NO. COX blockade does not fully inhibit selective A2receptor-mediated OMDVR dilation.
