Here, we tested the hypothesis that TNAP (tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase) modulates vascular responsiveness to norepinephrine. In the isolated, Tyrode's-perfused rat mesentery, 50 mu mol/L of L-p-bromotetramisole (L-p-BT; selective TNAP inhibitor, K-i=56 mu mol/L) significantly reduced TNAP activity and caused a significant 9.0-fold rightward-shift in the norepinephrine concentration versus vasoconstriction relationship. At 100 mu mol/L, L-p-BT further reduced mesenteric TNAP activity and caused an additional significant right-shift of the norepinephrine concentration versus vasoconstriction relationship. A higher concentration (200 mu mol/L) of L-p-BT had no further effect on either mesenteric TNAP activity or norepinephrine-induced vasoconstriction. L-p-BT did not alter vascular responses to vasopressin, thus ruling-out nonspecific suppression of vascular reactivity. Since in the rat mesenteric vasculature alpha(1)-adrenoceptors mediate norepinephrine-induced vasoconstriction, these finding indicate that TNAP inhibition selectively interferes with alpha(1)-adrenoceptor signaling. Additional experiments showed that the effects of TNAP inhibition on norepinephrine-induced vasoconstriction were not mediated by accumulation of pyrophosphate or ATP (TNAP substrates) nor by reduced adenosine levels (TNAP product). TNAP inhibition significantly reduced the Hillslope of the norepinephrine concentration versus vasoconstriction relationship from 1.8 +/- 0.2 (consistent with positive cooperativity of alpha(1)-adrenoceptor signaling) to 1.0 +/- 0.1 (no cooperativity). Selective activation of A(1)-adenosine receptors, which are known to participate in coincident signaling with alpha(1)-adrenoceptors, reversed the suppressive effects of L-p-BT on norepinephrine-induced vasoconstriction. In vivo, L-p-BT administration achieved plasma levels of approximate to 60 mu mol/L and inhibited mesenteric vascular responses to exogenous norepinephrine and sympathetic nerve stimulation. TNAP modulates vascular responses to norepinephrine likely by affecting positive cooperativity of alpha(1)-adrenoceptor signaling via a mechanism involving A(1)receptor signaling.
