The mechanisms that account for acetylcholine (ACh)-induced responses of skeletal muscle arterioles of mice lacking endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase (eNOS-KO) were investigated. Isolated, cannulated, and pressurized arterioles of gracilis muscle from male eNOS-KO (74.1 +/- 2.3 mu m) and wild-type (WT, 87.2 +/- 2.1 mu m) mice developed spontaneous tone accounting for 63 and 61% of their passive diameter (116.8 +/- 3.4 vs. 143.2 +/- 2.8 mu m, respectively) and dilated dose-dependently to ACh (10(-9)-10(-7) M). These dilations were significantly smaller in vessels of eNOS-KO compared with WT mice (29.2 +/- 2.0 mu m vs. 46.3 +/- 2.1 mu m, at maximum concentration) but responses to the NO donor, sodium nitrite (NaNO2, 10(-6)-3 x 10(-5) M), were comparable in the vessels of the two strains. N-G-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA, 10(-4) M), an inhibitor of eNOS, inhibited ACh-induced dilations by 60-90% in arterioles of WT mice but did not affect responses in those of eNOS-KO mice. In arterioles of eNOS-KO mice, dilations to ACh were not affected by indomethacin but were essentially abolished by inhibitors of cytochrome P-450, clotrimazole (CTZ, 2 x 10(-6) M) or miconazole (MCZ, 2 x 10(-6) M), as well as by either high K+ (40 mM) or iberiotoxin [10(-7) M, a blocker of Ca2+-dependent K+ channels (K-Ca channels)]. On the other hand, in WT arterioles CTZ or MCZ inhibited ACh-induced dilations only by similar to 10% and only in the presence of L-NNA. These results indicate that in arterioles of eNOS-KO mice, endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF), synthesized via cytochrome P-450, accounts entirely for the mediation of ACh-induced dilation via an increase in K-Ca-channel activity. In contrast, in arterioles of WT mice, endothelium-derived NO predominantly mediates ACh-induced dilation in which participation of EDHF becomes apparent only after inhibition of NO synthesis.
