This study examined the response to
nitric oxide (NO) in rat middle cerebral arteries (MCA). NO donors
increased the activity of a 205-pS K+ channel recorded from
vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells isolated from MCA 10-fold. Blockade
of guanylyl cyclase activity with
1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazole[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ, 10
5 M) did not alter the effect of NO on this
channel. In contrast, adding 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE)
to the bath (10
7 M) abolished the response to NO. NO
donors also increased the diameter of serotonin-preconstricted MCA to
85% of control. Blockade of K+ channels with iberiotoxin
or a high-K+ medium reduced this response by 50%. ODQ
(10
5 M) reduced this response by 47 ± 3%, whereas
preventing the fall of 20-HETE levels reduced the response by 59 ± 2% (n = 5). Blockade of both pathways eliminated
the response to NO donors. These results indicate that activation of
K+ channels contributes 50% to vasodilator response to NO
in rat MCA. This is mediated by a fall in 20-HETE levels rather than a
rise in cGMP levels or a direct effect of NO.
