AbstractContractions to endothelin-1 in aortas of the spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were compared with those of normotensive controls (WKY); rings with and without endothelium were studied in organ chambers. Contractions to endothelin were smaller in aortas of SHR compared to WKY, whether the endothelium was present or not. The presence of a functional endothelium reduced contractions to the peptide in both strains. Endothelium-dependent relaxations to acetylcholine and endothelium-independent relaxations to nitric oxide were observed in rings from both strains during contraction with endothelin. Indomethacin reduced the contractions to endothelin in the aorta from SHR with endothelium, but not in those without endothelium; it did not significantly affect endothelin-induced contractions in rings of WKY with or without endothelium. These experiments demonstrate that contractions of the vascular smooth muscle to endothelin are reduced in the aorta of the SHR. The basal and stimulated release of endothelium-derived relaxing factor inhibits contractions to endothelin in the aorta from both strains. The inhibitor of cyclooxygenase indomethacin does not prevent the response of the vascular smooth muscle to endothelin; however, endothelin may stimulate the release of an indomethacin-sensitive endothelium-derived contracting factor in the SHR aorta.
