Peroxynitrite generated in arteries from
superoxide and nitric oxide (NO) may damage their function. Here, we
compare the effects of peroxynitrite and peroxynitrite/NO-generating
agents SIN-1 (3-morpholinosydnonimine hydrochloride), SNAP
(S-nitroso-N-acetyl-penicillamine), SNP (sodium
nitroprusside), and NONOate (spermine NONOate) on pig coronary artery.
Deendothelialized artery rings were pretreated with these agents and
then washed before examining their contractility. Pretreatment with all
agents (200 µM) results in a decrease in the force of contraction in
response to the sarco(endo)plasmic Ca2+ (SERCA) pump
inhibitor cyclopiazonic acid (CPA): SNAP > NONOate
peroxynitrite
SIN-1 > SNP. Pretreatment with SNAP,
NONOate, or SIN-1 also inhibits the force of contraction produced with 30 mM KCl, with SNAP being the most potent. Including catalase plus
superoxide dismutase (SOD) during the preincubation has no effect. Including an NO scavenger
[2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide] or a guanylate cyclase inhibitor
(1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one) partially protects against SNAP. Pretreatment of cultured cells with peroxynitrite, but not with SNAP, inhibits the Ca2+
transients produced in response to CPA. Pretreating isolated membrane
vesicles with peroxynitrite inhibits the Ca2+ uptake due to
the SERCA pump, with all the other agents being less effective. Thus
peroxynitrite and NO both inhibit the CPA-induced contractions in
deendothelialized artery rings, peroxynitrite by damage to the SERCA
pump and NO possibly by a step downstream from the increase in
cytosolic Ca2+.
