Abstract
Objective: To study the role of perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) in the reactivity of rat and human vessels. Methods: Iliac and mesenteric arteries were obtained from normotensive Sprague-Dawley rats, hypertensive transgenic (mRen2)27 rats overexpressing mouse renin, and (mRen2)27 rats made diabetic with streptozotocin. Human coronary arteries were obtained from donors. Concentration-response curves were constructed to endothelin-1 and acetylcholine with and without PVAT. The contribution of NO and endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization (EDH) were determined making use of the NO synthase inhibitor L-NAME and the EDH inhibitors apamin + TRAM-34. The endothelin type A and type B (ET A, ET B) receptor blockers BQ123 and BQ788, the chemerin inhibitors α-NETA and pravastatin, and the angiotensin receptor blocker losartan were also used. Results: In rat iliac arteries, PVAT diminished endothelin-induced constriction, while the opposite was true in human coronaries. Coronary effects were unaltered by α-NETA, pravastatin, or losartan. ET B receptor-mediated relaxation in iliac arteries occurred only with PVAT, and BQ123 blocked endothelin-1-induced constriction. Diabetes upregulated the anticontractile effects of PVAT. In rat mesenteric arteries, acetylcholine-induced relaxation with PVAT relied on NO, and on NO + EDH without PVAT. Diabetes upregulated the EDH component exclusively with PVAT. Conclusion: PVAT modulates ET-1-induced constriction in a vessel type-dependent manner. Its enhancing effects in coronaries involved neither chemerin nor angiotensin II. Its anticontractile effects in rat iliac arteries involved ET B receptor-mediated relaxation. Diabetes upregulated PVAT’s anticontractile effects. In mesenteric arteries, PVAT counterbalanced the EDH component of the relaxant effect of acetylcholine. Diabetes reversed this effect by upregulating the EDH component.
