The aim was to determine whether high glucose levels interfere with nitric oxide (NO) production and inducible NO synthase (iNOS) protein expression in interleukin-1 p-stimulated vascular smooth muscle cells from normotensive Wistar Kyoto and spontaneously hypertensive rats. Cells were incubated with either normal (5.5 mM) or high (22 MM) D-glucose for 72 h and with interleukin- 1 beta (10 ng/ml) for the last 24 h. High glucose increased nitrite levels, iNOS expression and protein kinase C activity in cells from normotensive rats and had no effect in cells from hypertensive rats. High glucose effects on nitrite production and iNOS expression was abolished by the selective inhibitor for the protein kinase C-beta II, 5,21:12,17-dimetheno-18H-dibenzo[i,o]pyrrolo[3,4-1] [1,8]diacyclohexadecine-18,20 (19H)-dione, 8-[(dimethylamino)-methyl]6,7,8,9,10,11-hexahydro-monomethanesulfonate (LY379196, 30 nM). Calphostin C (1 mu M) and LY379196 (10 M) reduced nitrite levels and iNOS expression only in cells from normotensive rats treated with both media. These results suggest that high glucose increases inducible nitric oxide synthase induction and subsequent NO production by activating the protein kinase C-beta II; this mechanism seems to be altered in hypertension.
