We investigated the vascular response to nucleobase adenine using freshly isolated superior mesenteric arteries of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and its control, Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats. Endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent relaxations were assessed in isolated segments in an organ bath. The releases of the metabolites of thromboxane A(2) and prostaglandin I-2 were also detected. Adenine induced vasorelaxation in both the endothelium-intact and endothelium-denuded arteries in a concentration-dependent manner. In the SHR group, the adenine-induced relaxation was slightly but significantly reduced in the endothelium-intact rings when compared with that in the WKY group. However, the relaxation in the endothelium-denuded rings were similar between the two groups. The difference in the adenine-mediated relaxation in the superior mesenteric arteries between the SHR and WKY groups was eliminated by endothelial denudation and a nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor. In the absence and presence of adenine, SHR tended to have higher levels of metabolites of thromboxane A(2) and prostaglandin I-2 compared with WKY. However, adenine did not induce the release of these substances in the arteries in both the SHR and WKY groups. These results suggest that the reduced adenine-mediated relaxation in the superior mesenteric arteries in SHR is due to a lack of contribution from the endothelium-derived NO and not from the release of prostanoids.
