Effect of 20-HETE inhibition on L-NAME-induced hypertension in rats

20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoicacid (20-HETE) is an important mediator that regulates vascular tone and blood pressure (BP). Although various experimental animal hypertension models demonstrated that 20-HETE contributes to increased vascular resistance and BP, these effects have not been studied in Nω-ni...

description 20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoicacid (20-HETE) is an important mediator that regulates vascular tone and blood pressure (BP). Although various experimental animal hypertension models demonstrated that 20-HETE contributes to increased vascular resistance and BP, these effects have not been studied in Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME)-induced hypertension model. In this study, we investigated the effects of 20-HETE on the vascular responsiveness and BP in an L-NAME-induced hypertension. Wistar Albino rats were used in this study. Hypertension was induced by the addition of L-NAME to drinking water for 5 weeks. The study was performed in three stages: first, BP changes were monitored in real time in the presence of 20-HETE enzymatic inhibitor, N-hydroxy-N´-(4-butly-2-methylphenyl)-formamidine (HET-0016) for 1 h. Second, vascular responses of the conduit and resistance arteries were investigated in the presence or absence of HET-0016 in the organ bath. Third, BP was monitored weekly in some hypertensive animals treated with HET-0016 and vascular responses were investigated at the end of the experiment. We demonstrated an increase in 20-HETE levels in the resistance arteries of hypertensive animals. 20-HETE inhibition by HET-0016 significantly decreased BP in L-NAME-induced hypertension model. In addition, HET-0016 treatment caused significant improvement in vascular dilator and constrictor responses in the conduit and resistance arteries. This study demonstrates an important role of 20-HETE in increasing BP and altering vascular responsiveness in L-NAME-induced hypertension model, which suggests a possible involvement of 20-HETE in essential hypertension development in humans.
