Leonard S, Croy BA, Murrant CL. Arteriolar reactivity in lymphocyte-deficient mice. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 301: H1276-H1285, 2011. First published July 8, 2011; doi: 10.1152/ajpheart.00346.2011.-Mounting evidence suggests that lymphocytes have the capacity to contribute to the regulation of systemic circulatory control. We postulated that T and natural killer (NK) cells could modify basal microvascular activity under physiologically normal conditions. In situ intravital microscopy of mouse cremaster vasculature was used to evaluate arteriolar reactivities to the vasoconstrictors angiotensin II (ANG II) and phenylephrine (Phe) and the vasodilators acetylcholine (ACh) and adenosine (Ado) in normal [+/+; wild type (WT)] and genetically immunodeficient (T-B-NK+ or T-B-\NK-) C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice, strain backgrounds with differentially polarized T cell cytokine production. Immunodeficient mice tended to have smaller baseline and maximal diameters of third-order cremaster arterioles than their congenic WT partners. In C57BL/6, baseline diameters were similar in T-B- mice without or with NK cells; in BALB/c, baseline diameters were larger in T-B-NK- mice than in T-B-NK+ mice. Thus, at baseline, lymphocytes tended to promote vasodilation, except BALB/c NK cells, which mediated mild vasoconstriction. The presence of NK cells suppressed dilations to Ado in both strains, to ACh in the C57BL/6 strain, and dilatory responses to ANG II in C57BL/6 and to Phe in BALB/c. In the BALB/c strain, the presence of T and B cells promoted vasodilatory responses to Ado, attenuated dilations to low ACh concentrations, and exaggerated dilation and constriction responses to ANG II. Thus, under agonist challenge, NK cells generally promote constriction, whereas influences of T and B cells depend upon the stimulus. Therefore, lymphocytes or their products have physiological influences on microvascular arteriolar reactivity.
