It was tested whether hypoxia stimulates the release of endothelium-derived relaxant factor (EDRF). In paired segments (with and without endothelium) of either femoral artery (n = 49) or aorta (n = 42) from rabbits, selective luminal hypoxia (Po2 = 24 +/- 8 mmHg) was induced, whereas the Po2 at the adventitial side was kept above 300 mmHg. Hypoxia induced a dilation of 11 +/- 2% in aortic segments with endothelium, whereas the paired segments without endothelium dilated by only 1.2 +/- 0.2% (P less than 0.001). Similar results were obtained in femoral segments (11.8 +/- 1.5% dilation in segments with endothelium vs. 1.4 +/- 0.2% in segments without; P less than 0.001). Likewise in 19 out of 36 bioassay experiments, perfusate from endothelium-intact rabbit aortas or cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells exposed to hypoxia elicited dilation (10.7 +/- 3.2%) in the detector. The EDRF-inhibitors, hemoglobin (5 microM) and dithiothreitol (200 microM), significantly inhibited the hypoxia-induced dilation of intact segments as well as of assay segments perfused with effluent from hypoxic donors. These results suggest that hypoxia stimulates the release of EDRF from native and cultured endothelium. Low partial pressures of oxygen, such as those that exist in small arteries and arterioles, might therefore be a physiological stimulus for continuous release of EDRF.
