I We examined whether 10 days' in vivo treatment with glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) might reduce cGMP-induced relaxation in the smooth muscle of rabbit mesenteric resistance arteries and, if so, whether protein kinase C (PKC) plays a role in this downregulation.
2 The relaxation responses to GTN and the nitric oxide donor NOC-7 were significantly reduced in endothelium-denuded strips from GTN-treated rabbits. In beta-escin-skinned smooth muscle, the ability of 8-bromoguanosine 3',5' cyclic monophosphate (8-Br-cGMP, a phosphodiesterase-resistant cGMP analogue) to relax the contraction induced by 0.3 muM Ca2+ was significantly reduced in GTN-treated rabbits.
3 In beta-escin-skinned smooth muscle, an inhibitor of conventional and/or novel PKCs, GF109203X (0.6 muM), inhibited the Ca2+-induced contraction and enhanced the 8-Br-cGMP-induced relaxation. However, since the relaxing ability of 8-Br-cGMP was found to be unchanged by GF109203X when contractions were amplitude-matched (0.2 muM Ca2+ alone vs 0.3 muM Ca2+ + GF109203X), the increase in the 8-Br-cGMP-response seen with GF109203X was probably due to its inhibitory action on the Ca2+-induced contraction. Furthermore, although the PKC activator phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu, 0.1 muM) decreased the 8-Br-cGMP-induced relaxation of the Ca2+ (0.3 muM) contraction, this was probably due to its enhancement of the Ca2+-induced contraction since no such effect of PDBu was seen when the Ca2+-induced contractions were amplitude-matched (0.2 muM Ca2+ + PDBu vs 0.3 muM Ca2+ alone).
4 These results suggest that the relaxing response to cGMP is reduced in the smooth muscle of mesenteric resistance arteries in GTN-treated rabbits but that conventional and/or novel PKCs do not play a major role in maintaining this downregulation.
