We investigated the mechanism of EDHF mediated dilation to bradykinin (BK) in piglet pial arteries. Topically applied BK (3 µmol/L) induced vasodilation (62±12%) after the administration of L-NAME and indomethacin, which was inhibited by endothelial impairment or by the BK2 receptor antagonist HOE-140 (0.3 µmol/L). Western blotting showed the presence of BK2 receptors in brain cortex and pial vascular tissue samples. The cytochrome P450 antagonist miconazole (20 µmol/L), the lipoxygenase inhibitors baicalein (10 µmol/L) and CDC (1 µmol/L) failed to reduce the BK induced dilation. However, the H2O2 scavenger catalase (400 U/ml) abolished the response (from 54±11 µm to 0±2 µm, p<0.01). The KATP channel inhibitor glibenclamide (10 µmol/L) had a similar effect as well (from 54±11 µm to 16±5 µm, p<0.05). Coapplication of the KCa channel inhibitors charybdotoxin (0.1 µmol/L) and apamin (0.5 µmol/L) failed to reduce the response. We conclude that H2O2 mediates the non-NO, non-prostanoid dependent vasorelaxation to BK in the piglet pial vasculature. The response is mediated via BK2 receptors and the opening of KATP-channels.
