In this study we analyzed the role of vascular NAD(P)H oxidase in the generation of O-2(-) and the endothelial impairment of NO signal transduction pathway in hypertension. In aortic rings of 15-month-old stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR15) we found a 10-fold increased expression of NAD(P)H oxidase subunit gp91phox mRNA associated with a 3-fold increased production of O-2(-) compared to age-matched Wistar rats (WIS15). Vasorelaxation studies in aortas of SHR15 showed a strongly diminished response to acetylcholine, NO-donor S-nitroso-N-acetyl-D,L-penicillamine, and organic nitrate glyceryl trinitrate compared to WIS15. Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC activity and sGC beta (1)-subunit protein expression was downregulated in aortas and lungs of SHR15. These data suggest an upregulation of vascular NAD(P)H oxidase and an impairment of the NO signal transduction pathway in hypertension. (C) 2001 Academic Press.
